STAGE COACH IN
PIONEER DAYS
"Uucle john HALEY Tells
Of the Real Thing Wild
and Woody

Uncle John Haley, who is now
custodian at the headquarters of the
Historical society at the state house,
used to be stage owner and occa-
sionally he used to mount the high
seat and handle the ribbons on six
wiry steeds himself. But that was back
in the pioneer days, when the whistle
of the steam locomotive was an un-
heard sound in idaho, the wild and
woolly west"
when l saw that old stage in the
parade, decorated with sagebrush, and
being drawn by mismated horses, I
felt like turning my head and not
looking at it-such a burlesque," said
Mr.. Haley, yesterday. THAT looked
nothing like the old-time stage
coaches. They should have had six
spirited horses, and the coach stacked
with trunks and baggage in the rear
and on top, and dozen or so persons
riding, then they would have had a
coach similar to the ones we used to
drive. I've carried as many as "a per-
sons at a time, many Of them riding on
the top of the coach. ..
people used to sit at the Overland
hotel until 2 o'clock in the morning
just to see the stage start out. The
driver used to come down the street
at clanking trot. and the horses were
trained so they would whirl in at the
hotel with flourish. They were al
ways pulling against the bit, and ready
to go.
Now, here is a Wells-Fargo COM
pany's old strong blk which used to
be carried by one of my drivers" Mr..
HALEY said, as he turned to a new
! relic which he has added to the col
lection of the Historical society. ut
| has an interesting history, as it once
| figured prominently in a bold stage
| hold-up.
1.-THE box contained 5000 in gold
which was being sent from Boise by
Nathan Falk to his branch store In
the Wood river country. AS the stage
was passing a rugged place on Downs
creek, about 80 miles east of here, on
the old Overland road, the driver
heard a voice command him to halt
When he looked up he could see the
end of a rifle pointing at him through
a crevice in a big rock Just above the
road.
1.-THE robber got away with the boz
and it's contents, and as soon as the
news Of the hold-up reached the towr
To- AL
of him. We found where his horse
had been tied behind rock some dis
lance back from where he held up the
stage, and we tracked him to where
he broke open the box, about -four
miles back into the hills. He smashed
in the bottom, as you see there. This
was in August of 1891"

visitors from the neighboring towns
took the ride down the valley to Us

CLOSE STORES
HARVEST WHEAT

TOPEKA, Kan, July 10.-Dodge
City, in Ford county, is going to be al
most depopulated the next week or so
if the present plans of business men
pan out, according to DR.. ]. S. Crum-
bine, secretary of the state board of
health, who returned from Dodge City
this morning. Nearly all the business
men in that town have signed a petit
ton agreeing to practically close up
their stores and let all their men
clerks go to the harvest fields until the
wheat is in the shock or stacked.
THE situation is critical in that
county," said DR.. Crumbine. THE
farmers meet every train and offer all
sorts of inducements to every man on
the train to stop and help harvest. The
wheat is ripening fast these hot days,
and there are not enough men to har-
vest It,
Want the Railroad Men.
Chalk Beeson, representative from
that county, has made proposition to
the division superintendent OF the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee there,
and has taken it up with ]. E. Hurley,
general manager of the company, to
have all the shopmen, track walkers
and train crews laid off except those
absolutely necessary to operate the
trains with safety, and let these men
go into the harvest fields.
Yesterday Georges .Goberty, Con-
gresham e. H. Madison's private sec
rotary started out with petition
among the business men asking that
all men employees be laid off during
the harvest and let these men go into
the fields at once. This petition Is be-
'ng generally signed, and 1t was toid
that several business houses had Or
dered signs to be posted today. The
sins read, CLOSED during harvest
"Real estate and other oftices are
also being closed, and the men are go
ing into the harvest fields"

for the afflicted rich, settled in New

thousand different directions, and was

One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscout. down to
the Battery to show the sight Of New

count went into raptures as her
maiden reflection rippled over the

WAS MERELY MAKING work.
When Target Practice Was Not So
Important as It Is Now.

'In recent years." said an ordnance

that his men can make at the ranges.
But there was n time when the man

ITO Illustrate: was junior officer
on the old Essex many years ago. In
those days we had target practice
once quarter. We were forced by
regulations to eXpend so many rounds
of ammunition every three months,
and-well, that was about all there
was to 1t. 1t was perfunctory kind of
practice, and every one was glad
when 1t was over
"One day we went out for the quar-
terly practice. anchored the target and
went at 1t. The targets we used in
those days were three planks fasten-
ed in triangle, a spar stepped In the
center to hold the canvas which form
ed the target proper.
Now the gun captain of the for
ward pivot rife was an excellent
marksman, and on his first trial he
sent shell through the spar, which
smashed 1t into flinders. That, Of
course, stopped the practice, and out
went boat to tow the wrecked tar
get alongside for repairs.
When 1t had been patched up, it
was towed back to its place. and firing
was resumed.
Again the same gunner had the
first shot, and again his shell brought
down both the spar and the canvas.
THE boat was again sent out, but
when the repaired target was being
towed back to the range, the captain.
who was much out of humor by the
delay, spoke his mind.
