Paul, Mary Anne and Rachel had come
to spend the night with their grand
mother. As they gathered around the
fire after supper the children begged for
a story.
''Well, as this is the eve OF March the
4th, our presidential inaugural day, I'll
tell you about something that happened
Just 35 years ago tomorrow, and OF
most unique March 4th celebration we
had said grandma.
''Your grandfather and | had Just
come to Dart Centre. then bit of
town, holding some 200 souls. As you
know, 1t was very wild out here then,
and the people In the counties west OF
US were often driven to our settlement
by hostile Indians. But the year we
came here to make us home on the
wild Western plains the government had
got the red men pretty we'll under con-
troll. and they were quiet for time on
their reservations, which lay both to our
north and south.
''Your dear mother was a baby In her
second year, and ] was the proudest
young mother you ever saw. We had
two-room shanty where now stands the
beautiful city library; but 1t was our
own bome-and promise of better
one as the years grew-and we were
content and happy. Two days before the
event I am going to tell you about your
grandfather had business In Golden,
which. as you know. is 40 miles distant
by rail. BY wagon road 1t was quite 30
miles. He went on horseback, and
was expecting him home on the evening
of March 3. But the day passed and he
did not arrive. However, I was young
hopeful and brave. and ! did not feel
any apprehensions till the following
morning, when there came like wildhre
to our little town the terrible news that
the Indians from a reservation south of
us were on the warpath. and that they
were coming towards u.s. killing every
human being In their path and burning
the homes Of their victims. The news
was brought by a halfbreed named Pete
Pensino, whose mother was an Indian
squaw. Pete had come riding like the
wind from the county west, bringing this
terrible warning that II the palefaces
would live they must fly eastward for
their lives.
"Of course, this news struck terror to
tte hearts of man. woman aud child.

all animals great and small, together with
birds of crag, cliff and tree, come to-
gether in one common cause.-the cause
OF lf-protection-we could make our
strength felt"
But, Sir Owl, in what way could we
get these beasts and birds to become
friendly enough to listen to your plansT
asked the sanguine bear.
WELL" explained the owl at shall
be your duty to call all your own kind
together and lay a trap to catch one
mountain lion. 1t would be well to sur
round his lair and take him captive. Once
In your possession you can proceed to
explain to him the necessity of this pro-
posed movement. Then let him 90 among
his own and get them to rally TO the
cause. If there is one especial Lind Of
animal needs protection more than an
other 1t is the mountain lion. He Is the
coveted Of all hunters and trappers. and
unless he does something to protect his
life he will soon become extinct"
yes ! admit the lion is highly
priced animal by the hunters" said the
bear; "but also do / know my own kind
is as much sought after. However, we
will not discuss that. We all-beasts and
birds of every kind-are in hourly terror
for sweet life's sake, and It behooves us
to Join together In self-protection"
Inen l may depend on your going out

the owl.

"And l shall set on wing and speak

of the country" said the owl. 81 have
an eagle friend who Will dare approach

shall be assigned the work of bringing
them to u.s. Let US appoint the meeting

Then the bear set off down the noun

the air, and. although he did not see SO
well by broad daylight, he scared away

So, diminishing his remarks, the owl led
the way to the next hunters cabin, and
the next, and the next, until each man In
the mountains had been served with the
warning which each - almost frightened
out Of their wits at sight of such an ag-
regation-faithfully promised TO obey.

HOLD.UP MEN STILL
 ENJOY FREEDOM
Officers as Yet Have Ob. tainGd Nothing Definite
 to Work Upon

Neither the officers of Lowell or Bisbee have as yet been able 10 secure anything definite in the way of a clue to the identity of the hold-up men who on Friday night succeeded in getting away from the Bonanza Hotel bar with about s400.
 That more than the one man who appeared in tine bar room Friday night with mask and gun was engaged in the job was determined yesterday, hen man was found who gave reli- able statement that while the hold-up man was inside tho barroom a second man stood outside the door on the side walk, running away with the masked man when the latter came out of the door.
 In addition to these two men there is TOW theory that still another man was engaged in the game, he being sta toned in the rear Of the hotel build ing to hold the horses on which escape is believed to have been made succeed ing the hoId-up. Though no one saw men riding out Of the town in the neighborhood of the time of the hoid-up such manner of escape under the cir cumstances would have been easily possible without detection occurring.
 A hat was found yesterday in the alleyway alongside the hotel building and is believed to be the property of one Of the desperadoes. No identi- fication of it has as yet been possible. Yesterday the officers of Lowell were much engaged in the case and conse- quenay working along several lines. Officers of Bisbee last. night denied that they had been looking into the IT alter more than casually. and declaT- ed they had not been advised of the crime by the Lowell officers in time to get to work on the case with hope Of doing anything.

This morning at Benson. when it was time for the express messenger to leave Benson for Fl Paso on the Fl Paso & Southwestern train, Mr. Nichols, the messenger, was nowhere to be found, and his whereabouts could not be ascertained When Steve Roemer, the express agent at Benson appeared this morning to de liver the express to go out on the in the car to receive it.
 The train last night from Fl Paso was seven hours late, reaching Ben son, and on that account no express was delivered last night. It was sur. missed by MT. Roemer that the agent was gone. He at once notified the agents along the line of the disap- pearance of the messenger, and il was arranged to have the office in Douglas put a messenger on board af this place.
 Agent Albright, in this city, se- cured a man to take charge of the express when the train arrived this morning, and go on to Fl Paso, but afterwards was notified by wire that as the train pulled out of Benson Nichols, the agent who had been missing, caught it and that every thing was all right
 When the train reached Douglas it was learned that Nichols had failed to arrange for some one to call him this morning. and oyerslept himself only awakening in time to make a run and catch his car as the train wss leaving Benson. Agent Roemer. of Benson, did not find out that N.ch- els had caught the train until after he had sent out word along the line that the express messenger was miss ing.
 Mir. Nichols is new man on the run The incident Is no doubt very much regretted by him on account of the interest caused by the report that he had disappeared.
