The Old Overland Stage

Drivers and guards were always

Having round ups" with train robbers
was part Of the weekly business. and
the first thing the helpers" did while
the horses were changing at relay sta

for bullets and make a note Of 1t to
tell the next stage load of tourists and
prosepectirs that came that way.
Wells. Fargo & Co. did just as much
for the country and civilization in
those days as any armed regiment OF

went around that the worst gang in
Wyoming was going to attack the
treasure to arrive that night. 1t was
rich cargo of gold dust and coin that
the express company was hurrying
across the plains.
The manager wasn't frightened n
bit He put the treasure in a round
house made of timbers. almost air
tight. and pierced with holes on every
side. just large enough for a man to
sight his gun through. Twenty men,
each with a sawed-off gun and several
kegs of slugs and powder were piled in
on top of the treasure and the men told
to shoot everything in sight.
The plaza in front of the hotel was
cleared, and about two O'Clock next
morning the attack opened and the
defenders began pumping lead into
the invaders. 1t was a great fight
and for few minutes there was a
continuous roar of rifles and shotguns.

and old nails. The boys won a great
victory for the express company and

in Legal Battle.

st. Paul. Minn.-Frank b. Kelloge,
Of this city, one of the leading attor-
neys of the northwest, interested in
the steel trust and known as a clever
corporation lawyer. has been chosen
by Attorney General Moody to assist
in the great legal battle which the
government has begun against the

Mr.. Kellogg attracted attention by
his splendid work for the government

He was also associated with Eihu
Root in the Hartman Hill Northern
Securities litigation.
Frank B. Kellogg is an orator. Bit

can reply sharply to sharp chal-

Mr.. Kellogg is native of New York.
He was reared on farm and attend
