One thing Is very evident in the some-
what muddled acknowledgements county
is not going to have any home candidate
for governor. Uncle Loren Fletcher
thought seriously of running, but since
he returned to Washington after the iholi-
days he has given up the idea of entering
the state game. His plan was to ask for
the Hennepin delegation, and If 1T was
delivered to him without fight, then he
would go into the convention. Many con-
hicting interests have developed in Hen,
lnepin. There are three or four candidates
for secretary of state, the Block campaign
has made much Roadway, and Lord has
many friends among former legislative
associates. Fletcher.s advisers have
counseled against his trying for governor,
and he has come to the same conclusion.
Nothing more will be heard Of the
Fletcher boom. If our congressman runs
for anything it will be for re- election, but
it is extremely doubtful whether he will
do that.
!. Judge John Day Smith has been spoken
LOT as good vote getting candidate for
governor. Mention Of him has been made
both at home and outside, and he is not
an impossible dark horse in the conven-
ton. His position on the bench, how
ever, prevents him from making an active
bid, and sentiment among most Hennepin
county republicans is against presenting
anyone from this county. They realize that
the war of 1904 would make local candi-
date endless trouble. no matter how good
man he might be. He would be cut
right and left by Dunn men sore over the
last campaign just to get even with Hen
nepin.
| Some of DIR. Coles Fergus Falls friends
have been imposing on him When in
/ town last week the Otter Tailfsenator de-
clared that he was not a candidate for
1 lieutenant governor and had not been at
any time. Announcementss that he was a
receptive candidate, or other statements
Of the kind, have been without authority

Main street, South Evanston. Ten
minutes later Patrolman McArdle. sta.

same Identical shade floating along
Sheridan road toward Wilmette.
Every night since then, with pro.
digious speed even for ghost. the
apparition has made its appearance in
different parts of Evanston and viii.
mette around the hour of midnight.
Automobile parties returning home
late have seen it for a moment in the
glare of their searchlights and then
lost sight of II, only to have it appear
the second time two or three miles
farther along their route. Belated pc
destrians have been terrified by hav-

them for a moment and then disap.

When Assistant Chief Shaeffer first
had the matter brought TO his atten-
ton he ridiculed the idea that 1t

the answers the professors received.
The police department, bafiled, gave
up the problem in despair and as the
ghost was doing no apparent harm
would have let the matter drop If the
shade had kept to the road. The visit
to Willard hall, however, was toe

exclaimed Did you ever see such

ORGAN GRINDERS Hen
A CLEVER PICKPOCKET
Short Of Leg and Long at Neck, It
Won Many Penny from
Folks Upstate.

McKeever, N. VA hen with
neck like turkey and one leg an
inch shorter than the other attracted
attention here few days ago and
caused as much merriment as one
ring circus.
The fowl, which was said to be two
years old, was the property of an Or
gan-grinder who carried it on top OF
his organ instead of "A monkey He
had taught it to do several tricks,
and it is safe to say that 1t collected
more pennies than the average simian.
When the organ grinder struck the
village the hen was perched on the
top OF one shoulder emitting sounds
between crow and a squeal. This
naturally attracted attention and soon
a small crowd was assembled AS
soon as enough had arrived the hen
dropped to the ground and began to
navigate In series of circles toward
possible donators of coin. Owing to
the fact that one leg was shorter than
the other it could not proceed in a
straight line, and its efforts to pick
up pennies tossed on the ground We're
extremely ludicrous.
Once it had a coin in its beak the
hen would flutter and squawk and
circle back to the grinder and place
the treasure in his breeches pocket.

Meanwhile the Indians conferred
with each other for few minutes and
one of them signed for him to come
on. He promptly signed that he
wouldn't do it.
AT this the redskins started toward
him, holding up their hands in token
of friendship. But Sam was too shrewd
to be caught in such trap-he knew
them too we'll. His reply was shot
from his rifle, and one of the Indians
tumbled off his horse.
The other two immediately fred at

by him, but, nevertheless. Sam fell

THRILLING ADVENTURE
OF THE PONY RIDER

One OF the distinctive characters of
western life a few years back was the
ponyrider," or mail-carrier. who was
the only means of public communica-
ton between one settlement and an
other.
Their routes were over sections of
country where stage roads had not
been opened, sometimes extending for
many miles, and sometimes serving
only as connecting links between lines
already established.
Some of these riders were young
men for such a responsible duty, you
might think, but they had been brought
up in the country. had taken part in
its adventures. dangers and trials, and
at eighteen or twenty years of age
were as manly. courageous and saga.
ctous on the trail as you would ex.
pect men of forty TO be.
The lives of these mail-carriers
were full of adventure The country
through which they rode was wild
and unsettled. and encounters with
Indians wild beasts and desperate
highwaymen were frequent.
One of the Quickest riders was lit
tie Sam Dudley. He was only eight
cen years old, and mis- build was
almost as slight as a woman's. but
the strongest man couldn't stand ia
tigue any better than Sam. He seemed
to be made up of steel and steam.
Sam had a route that was particu-
larry dangerous, as 1t lay in a region
where bands OF Shoshone Indians
were always prowling about. War
path or no war-path, they robbed and
butchered white men whenever they
found them at disadvantage, and
when pursued by parties sent out to
avenge the outrage they hid them.

less horse went bounding over the
plain. Quick as lightning Sam fired
again, this time at his last remaining
foe, and horse and Indian both
dropped.
Exulting in his easy victory, the
gallant young fellow leaped to his
feet-to see the third Indian not dead
as he thought, but running toward
him, gun at the ready. His horse had
been shot, but he was unhurt.
Sam was astounded. He was not
a victor after ALL on the contrary, he
now faced his greatest peril This
flashed upon him as the Indian
stopped, raised his gun and fired,
A sharp. quick spasm of pain shot
through Sans left arm, and it fell
helpless to his side-the ball had
shattered it. This made him drop his
rifle to the ground, but his GOODNESS
and courage did not leave him. The
gun had not fairly touched the grass
before he had drawn his revolver and
taken aim at the savage, but the lat
ter was equally quick with his gun
The two reports rang out as one, and
both men fell.
Dudley was shot in the chest neal
the left shoulder, and the shock
dropped him. He did not lose con

selves among the rocks and lay quiet
until ii was safe to come out again.
This was down in Nevada, near the
Toquima mountains. Sam rode from
Austin to San Juan, distance of fifty
miles his course running most of the
way along the Reese river.
Sam was due in San Juan one af-
ternoon about three o'clock, but that
hour passed, and then four o'clock,
and he had not arrived. The mail
agent seemed to be a trifle uneasy as
he talked about the delay.
He said Sam Dudley, the rider, was
as brave fellow as ever straddled
pouch, but there were bands of In
dams all along his route and he
thought it was only a question of time
when they would wing him.
He had already had adventures with
them, in which his escapes had been
little less than marvellous, and 1t was
while he was telling me about one of
them that we heard shouts outside his
cabin, followed by the sound of a
horses feet at rapid gallop.
Every one hurried ont and saw a
sight that was by no means uncom-
mon in such a country. A young fell
low, apparently mere boy in years,
was riding toward the station on a
dark-bay mustang.
His buckskin clothes were solied
and bloody, and his left arm hung limp
and useless at his side, His right
hand grasped the long black hair of
an Indians scalp, which he swung
round and round above his head. The
reins lay upon the pony's neck, but
the beast knew his stopping place and
needed no guiding. In a minute more
he had halted and all anXiously ap-
preached the rider.
1t was Sam Dudley, the young mail
carrier, pale and weak from wounds
and loss of blood. He was helped of
the pony's back, but tainted before he
got into the agents cabin The mail
pouch was safe, however.
Sam was not long coming TO him
self again, His left arm was broken
above the elbow by a rifle ball and
another ball had entered his chest
| near the left shoulder. Neither wount
was dangerous.
About five miles from San Juan, as
he was jogging along at an easy pace

three mounted Indians some distance
