word would the object speak. It strug- gled to get away, but its captor hung on and finally got the naked man en- veloped In the old army overcoat. The next thing was what to do with the prisoner? Duty demanded the pres ence of the "captain' at the appointed meeting place. and 1t was an ethic of the range that appointments must be kept. Duty also demanded that the ghost be taken to town. At last the captive was tied securely in the saddle, and the future senator trudged back to town. leading the astonished cayuse with his uncanny load.
 No sooner had the procession reached the outskirts of the town than it be- came evident that something unusual had occurred. The sheriff came run ming to meet the cattleman. The people slunk away. Terror seemed to be in the air.
 The mild, gentle, unassumlng gentle man who is now seen daily in the United States senate had captured a runaway smallpox patient, who died of exposure soon after his return to town. His former keeper also died. The ca yuse took 1t and died. The "captaln" lost his overcoat and all of his clothing He missed his engagement with the cowboys, but lived to reach the United States senate.

CAUGHT 4 GHOST STRANGE EPISODE IN THE CA. REER OF A UNITED
 STATES SENATOR. Saw a Weird Figure Beneath a Gib. bet in the Gray Dawn of
 Morning.

One might never think of ghosts be- ing associated with the hustling town of Lewiston, Ida. It is situated on the banks of the Snake river, whose placid green waters glide slowly along on their way to the yet greener Pacific ocean, a few hundred miles away, but Lewiston has ghost story, and it's principal actor Is now member of the dignifed United States senate, man who in the early days of the west had n varied experience with Indians, stage robbers and all such affairs, but none SO hair raising as the Lewiston ghost.
 The cattlemen of the far northwest did not have "roundups" such as are had by the cowboys of Texas. They had what they termed "captain," whose duty 1t was to be at certain point at a given time and receive reports from the men who had been riding the ranges. Thus 1t was that the owners of cattle were advised as to their stock and It's increase. The principal of this story was at that time in the cattle business with his father and was the captain of the range.
 One morning he arose with the sun to go to the designated place of meeting nnf; receive reports He tn, eU 1;'.-
