NE LINED UP PASSENGERS AND
TOOK THEIR vALuABLES.
Yellowstone Park Tourists Had TfI'l
ing Experience - Not One was
Armed and Lone Robber Had
Them All at His Mercy.

came in sight.
The highwayman was stationed at
a bend in the road, where he was
invisible from either direction. AT the
point of a rifle he lined up the pass
engers, and after relieving them oil
money and valuables allowed them TO

Journey. This performance the BAN

It is understood from the meager
account of the affair received here
at a late hour last night that nc col
lected in all more than $4,000
The fact that tourists in the park
are not permitted to carry weapons
made it impossible for any OF the
passengers Or drivers to offer resist
ance.
The robber was man about 90
years OF age, weighing about l4o
pounds. After holding up the last
coach, he disappeared into the hills
and it was found that he had made

was made back to Old Saithful Inn

not the least exciting of the morn

The Rivers Song.


Brave He-wa-he loved maiden In the
forest still and deep,
Loved a maiden where the woodbine ana
the morning glories creep
Loved A maiden 1.-the and agile, swift OF
foot and fair Of face
Ewes that sparkled like the river, cheeks
that spoke OF rounded grace
Loved her truly with a passion that was
founded in his race!
Lang he wooed the chieftan's daughter
in the woodland, by the stream
|. where the sunlight fashioned jewels
/ from the fretting ripple's CLEAN;
Lang he pleaded for an answer neath
the glory of the moon,
And when zephyrs raced and whispered,
when the sun was at its noon
| ALWAYS patient, ever wooing with the
l., forests murmured Groom
All, one day beside the river 'Min-e7o-ta
| told him yes,
Reaching up to kiss her lover with
sweetheart's tenderness
But. alas her shyness hindered and the
!. kiss fell in the stream
I'wb.re the sunlight fashioned jewels
| from the fretting ripples gleam--
And the waters leaped in rapture from
the slumber of their dream!
~ ~
All the river pulsed with gladness ano
began to Groom and sing
Babbling sweet diminuendoes, IKE
blackbird on the wing!
Iauehingly 1t rose and eddied, tinklinl
gaily, humming low,
Dashing airily in rifles, grooming with tn'
undertow-
And a song It sings forever, be TN
rhythm fast or slow!
| Always lifts the stream In gladness, hlle'
with Joy, 1t ripples free,
| Hugging fast within Its waters kisse
meant for He-wa-he!

Losing kisses In the river Is so wastetu
