Fellow Highway Robbers: We have
with us tonight one who comes from
the outside world, with all its wicked
ness, this old man, simple as a child,
and yet foxy as the world goes, this
easy mark who is told that the dinas-
orus still exists, and believes it, and
comes to this valley to find it. II
some one told him that Adam and Eve
were still alive, and running a stock
ranch up in the Big Horn basin, ne
would believe it, and if it came to him
as a secret that Solomon in all his
glory was placer mining in a distant
valley over the mountains, he would
rush off to engage Solomon to drive
a chariot next year in his show. Sucf
an ability to absorb things that ar
not so, in a world where all men ar
suspicious of each other, should be en-
couraged. This old mar comes to on
quiet valley, where all is peace, ant
where we are honest, fresh from thu
wicked world, where grating is a sci
ence respected by many, and where tn
bank robber who gets above a million
is seldom convicted and always re
spected, while we, who only occasion
allv meet a train with a red light an
pass the plate, and take up a Sigh

Some times for a couple Of days the
robbers would go away to rob a tram
or a stage coach, and leave us with a
few guards, who acted az though they
wanted us to try to escape, SO they
could shoot us in the back, but we
stayed, and fried bacon and elk meat
and tighed for rescue.
One day the robbers came back from
a raid with piles Of greenbacks as big
as a bale of hay, and it was evident
they had robbed a train and been re-
sisted, because one man had a bullet in
his thigh, and pa had to use his know

like himself taking tainted money,
and while he would not want to make
a comparison between the methods
men adopt to secure tainted money, In
business or highway robbery, he hoped
the gang to which he had been elected
an honorary member would no insist
on his carrying away any of the faint
ed money.
"You are all right in theory, old
man." said the leader of the gang, but
this money, which might have been
tainted when 1t was shipped by ex-
press from Wall street to the far west,
has been purified by passing through

has been blown away. Now, we pro-
pose to give you a banquet tomorrow

ed with horses, supplies and money

UNCLAIMED INSURANCE FIND
Illustrative Instance of the Careless
ness of English Com
panies.

ANYONE who can rake up insurance
company scandals is sure OF an
American audience nowadays, and this
state of mind seems to be spreading
to England. A British law firm tells
the following story in support Oh us
contention that insurance companies
and other iduciary institutions should
be required by law to make an annual
statement as to all unclaimed property
in their possession.
A testator died in the year lS6o
holding 80 shares of a well-known hre
and life assurance company. Twenty
of these shares were sold by the ex-
ecutors. The remaining ten shares
were entirely forgotten. The ex-
ecutors' names and addresses were
registered in the company's books and
| the dividends accruing upon tho
| shares were, in the words Of the secre-
tary. held in suspense since Mr.. IS
death, in accordance with the COM
pany's articles" No intimatlon was
sent to the executors that the dtvi-
dends were accruing and were un-
claimed.
In the year 1904 the executors re-
ceived a letter from the solicitors OF
a company whose business 1t is TO
trace dormant funds stating that IL
the executors will agree to pay the
company 50 per cent. Of any sum
which might be recovered informa-
ton would be given which would prob
ably lead to the recovery OF unclaimed
funds belonging to the te%stator's es-
tate. The communication was put into
the hands of the firm which tells the
story. and they, after an examination
of the testator's and executors papers
succeeded in locating the missing
shares.
The assurance company made them
over in due course with the dividends
but absolutely refused to pay the u
> vears' interest which was claimed on
the latter.
) The lawyer suggested to the com
> many the desirability of making In
~ouiries as to how information no
{ available to representatives Of thei
. own shareholders had been obtained
! by a company trading in unclaime'
property.
: The only reply the company
y safed was that they didn't know any
thing about 1T.

to receive the tainted money. Pa add
ed that the board of directors OF a cir
Gus might not be as particular as a
church or college, and he thought ne
could assure the gang that the money
would not come back to bother them
The leader of the gang said that
would be all right, and for pa and l
and the boys to begin to pack up and
get ready to return to civilization and
all its w~ickedness. We worked all day
and played cinch for hundred dollar
bills all the evening, and the next DAY
arranged for the banquet.
When night came, and the pine
knots were lit in the cave, about 10
bandits and pa and l sat down 10 a
course banquet on the floor OF the cave
and ate and drank for an hour. we
had few dishes, except tin cups and
tin plates, but it was a banquet al
right. The first course was soup
| served in cans, each man having a cal
| of soup, with a hole in the top, mad
by driving a nail through the tin, anC
we sucked the soup through the hole
The next course was fish, each mai
having a can of sardines, and we at
them with hard tack. Then we a
game course, consisting of fried elk
and then a salad of canned bake
beans and coffee with condensed mill
and a spoonful or two OF condense
milk for ice cream. When the banque
was over the leader of the bandit
, raped on the stone floor of the cav
with the butt of his revolver for a
tention, and, taking a canteen OF Will
ky for a loving cup, he drank to tn
health of their distinguished CUES
and passed it around, S o all migl
