What the object of the men III at
tempting TO get away with the hand
car could have been other than the
desire 10 gel to Cobre and 10 leave
the district is not known. II was at
first thought that among the men
was the man Nokoyich. wanted for
obtaining 800 from his friends at
Smelter last week. and three COM
panions who were helping him TO es-
cape. Mr.. Butler was therefore con-
fident that he would have the fugi-
tive behind the bars in a short time.
1t is now thought Nokovich has made
good his escape from the district and
will not again be seen here, unless he
is arrested by outside officers on the
descriptions sent ont from the sher-
in office.

called upon for speeches. Mr.. Neiii

Chairman Fesler here called atten-
ton of the convention to the fact that

in view of the fact that none of them

GIVE UP YOUR CHECK.

A good deal OF complaint has late
ly been made by ore line baggage
men because of the fact that passen-
gers with baggage fail to realize or
forget to claim belongings from the
baggage car. This is necessary for
the reason that there are no station
agents on the ore line. This being
the case 1t is necessary for those car
rying checked baggage to secure it
direct from the car. BY doing so
they will save both themselves and
the trainmen unnecessary trouble.
