WHEN THE WEST WAS WILD

Guthrie (ollla.) Cor. Kansas City Journal
 This is a chapter from the story of Chris Madsen, best pistol shot and quar- termaster sergeant of the Fifth cavalry in the northwest, quartermaster sergeant of the Rough Riders during the spanish American war and now chief deputy under United States Marshal John Aper- nathy of Oklahoma.
 Following tho breaking up of the James gang in Missouri and on the Kansas hor- der, remnants of the band went still Tar ther west into tho Rocky mountains, and many of them remained in the old line or
 business. holding mp stage coaches In par
 ticular. for a number of years. The Fitth cavalry at this time was putting In Il considerable part of its time in guarding the stage coaches over the mountains, and in particular the stage line to Chey- enne. Upon Eagle Pass the stage coaches met and at the hour of meeting there was as a rule a party of United States troop CTS somewhere in the vicinity to protect
 them.
 A leader of the James gang remnant
 for several years was known as The
 Man with the Golden Tooth With sev-
 eral of his boldest followers he had
 planned a double hold-up on Eagle Pass. figuring to hold Up and rob the first coach that arrived and then complete their jobs when the one from Cheyenne put Tn it's appearance. On this particular coach

 The finest and most valuable Alaskan gold is said to come from Anvil creek, in the Nome district. It is said to be as powdery as fine flour and to run $19.25 to the ounce. On the other hand, the gold of Eldorado creek, Klondlike, often was found in five and ten-ounce nuggets whose value owing to impurities in the nuggets ran only s1450 to the ounce. At one point on Eldorado opposite Nugs0e gulch all the gold taken out was in the form of nuggets that ran from the size of a walnut to the size of a dinner plate. The larger nuggets were all water ground and fattened by thousands of years of grinding.

 Following the death of their leader the other members of the gang were cap tured by troopers and turned over to the Wyoming authorities. They were placed in the state pententiary, but later es- capcd by locking the warden behind the bars and stealing all the guns and an- munition. Sergt Chris Madsen was given command of q squad to trail and recap ture them
 Madsen took with him a one-eyed half breed Indian. St. Clair by name. who had made reputation as guide and scout, and Jim McAdams. longtime scout and Indian fighter. After following the trau for several days Madsen and his two comrades finally came upon the outlaw camp early one morning. The outlaws outnumbered the troopers, but McAdams broke into the camp with shout and an order for the bandits to throw up their hands. Immediately Madsen followed him

St. Clair threw down his weapons and asked Madsen to loosen the leader in order that they might fight i. out with their fists, but Madsen would not hear to 1t, and the bandits were soon behind prison bars again. All of them were afterward sentenced for long terms in prison.

Sitting in his hastily improvised head quarters he spreads before him map that gives the location of every pole and wire In the field of opera tions and draws from his pocket book that informs him where among the townsmen or farmers of the neighborhood teams can be se- cured food and lodging for the men en- gagged, extra laborers hired, if they are needed, and many other detils.

The value of insects as food diet has

perfectly sweet for anything!'-it was Lo-
bella Blinks who frowned at some envious
lady members whom she overheard won
dering from what encyclopedia the crea-
ture got that stuff such was her de-
votion.
AS result of this, of course. Blifkins
and Blinks themselves were dragged in.
They were totally unlike. Blifkins was
a ponderous, fat-faced fiabby man. of such
sluggish mind. that by the time he got
ready to evolve a remark the time for
making IL was past: SO he was usually
doomed TO silence, ana was, consequently,
a good listener, and accumulated Il repu-
tation for wisdom.
Blinks was short. thin, nervous and
laxative little man, with hobby for in
vention and mechanics.
But such a beatitic state of things as
this could not last-it never does.
one evening while seated around the tea
table at the Binkses, that individual an
nounced that he had purchased an auto
mobile-an announcement which was des-
tined 10 end this beautiful combination as
we shall see.

rapture.
''Yes:". continued Blinks proudly. :"and

you girls provide the goodies and I'll see
to the table-you just leave that to me"
and Blinks winked at Blifkins and chuck
led some more.
Where shall we go?" some one in
quired.
Leave that to me- too" said Mr. Blinks,

Ariminta.
"Er-r-r-rr' said Mr. BIifkins, which

a settled thing.
Everybody was puzzled on Monday, just
as they were about TO start, when Blinks
produced bundle Of boards and a pack

he proceeded TO fasten under the new auto

quired Lobelia, as Blinks fused around

At this juncture. Mr.. Blifkins, Ariminta
