CHAPTER XII.

The Journey to the Convict Country.
We left our friends Lang and Den
yer in company with Regan and Gold
EN-, travelling toward the West. Upon
arriving at St Paul, which was reach
ed, as Golden supposed, without being
detected, the group was reinforced by
another gang of female domestics of
about the. shade of intelligence of
those already being taken to the coun-
try, and embarked on board one of the
large Mississippi steamers on its jour
ney down the river. At st. Louis the
already large crowd was further add
ed to by a curious quartet; one was a
celebrated pickpocket, called "Limpy
JIM and his "stone," "Pocketbook
Pete" who were in company with
two women of questionable character,
Dizzy ILL.," a tumbled-down variety
actress, and French Fannie" roper
in for concert saloon.
1t was not Golden's wish to travel
in company with such large gang
of crooks and thus court capture, but
in this he was not free agent. How
ever, the vessel had been chartered
for the gangs exclusive use, and the
more people carried the better for the
colony. Jim Denver, in the character
of stowaway, managed to secrete
himself on board the boat, but at the
junction of the Arkansas and the
Mississippi, fearing that Regan and
Golden would discover his identity
and being aware by this time of the
probable situation of the country
parted company with Lang ard left

The party threw of. ali restraint when
once the vessel began to ply the Ark
ansas. There was no one on board
now but the emigrants to the Convict
Country. Our German girls had by
this time, if they had not before,
learned their fate, which was to be

GERMS MUST
TAKE TO WOODS
Cleaning up Process Successful
Smoke SmoIders on City Hor-
lion From Burning Rubbish.

Ritzville citizens in accordance with
the proclamation by the mayor closed up
shop and began house cleaning early
Wednesday morning. From the large
piles of rubbish which our industrious
citizens raked from alleys and backyards
1t was evident that cleaning up day
was needed. 1t is also apparent that the
cleaning up process will have to be con-
tinued for good long time to come be-
fore the town is in shipshape. Germs Of
every kind that lie hidden beneath refuse
piles will have to take to the woods, un,
der the mighty force of the germ of
action which is now in possession of the
field of honor
AS soon as the teams commenced haul.
ing in the afternoon smoke hung heavy
on the horizon from the burning rubbish
piles on the outskirts OF town. Six teams,
which were all that could be secured,
could not clean up the town in half day.
1t will be necessary for the citizens to
continue the process themselves and we
are mistaken in the spirit of the Ritzvile
people If they do not prove equal to the
occasion. Permits to burn rubbish out
side of the fire limits can be had Of the
city marshal at any time and great deal
of the trash now raked up can be dis
posed Of in this way by the householders
themselves, and as for tin cans, etc, two
or three neighborS can club together and
hire their accumulations hauled away at
no great cost to any individual If it is
worth while to have clean town it is
worth while to spend little money to-
ward that end. Every dollar so spent
increases the value of the owners prop
erty and makes Ritzville. by that much,
a better place to live in.
