HICKS MALLORY
HUSTLING SOME

4 letter was received here yes

King of them ALL cigar and tobac-

DATED at Louisville, Ky, on the
18th, stating that he was then on
his Eastern trip again and wonid
ston inf Cincinnati Columbus, Pitts
burg. Philadelphia and would leave
New York for Tampa and Key
West about February %, and on
this trip would make contracts ana
get every little detail closed for ms
campaign of the hardest drumming
he has ever done in the good old
State of Arkansas.
As all contracts with both plug
and cigar factories would be 1or
quite a number of years each, and
mean either his success or down.
fall Hicks states that he has to be
very careful who he signs with, and
his decision will mean not only best
quality but goods adapted for Ar
kansas trade, and then too, live,
up-to-date factories must be con-
sidered as to their standing and SUI
ficient capital to do business on,
and probabilities of remaining IN
business.
Hicks states that all large and
important matters must be consid-
cred as we'll as factories that are
able and will give datings, ETC., is
why he had to make two trips.
His first trip covered over 5000
miles. AS Mr.. Mallory struck New
York at the tima and witnessed
the sight Of the run on the Lincoln
and Knickerbocker Trust Compa-
MES, he says he certainly hopes 1t
will De better this trip, as he left
them before sitting around like
hens with the cholera.
After Mallory's friend finished
reading the letter, he remarked in
cidnetally that if every merchant
felt as he did, the old boy would
receive a big lot of complimentary
orders on the first rip, as he consid-
cred nim the best posted and most
successful salesman that had ever
travelled this territory, and that
merchants appreciated a salesman
that was posted and up-to-date, as
he could act as buyer and salesman,
and we have heard that more firms
would leave with Mr.. Mallory what
to ship and how much, than all 9TH
er statesmen combined that called
on them.
Mallory wound up by saying that

palmy days of Dodge City, Kans., when
Bat, Masterson was in his prime

it is reported, several men, led by
party named Baldwin, talked about
the town that anybody had as much

in Chefey last Thursday, when the

was absent in Winnemucca, advising

evidently then determined to avail
himself of the other one point, for he
at once chartered Nichols automobile
and rushed to the scene of hostilities
as fast as gasoline could cover the
distance.
Mr.. Chafey arrived home at
o clock Friday morning, to find that
the miners and leading citizens had
taken the matter in hand. The crowd,
armed with Winchesters, eeded to
the tent occupied by Baldwin and
ordered him to not only vacate the
premises, but to Immediately leave
town, on pain of summary treatment.
Baldwin, with an assumed bravado,
attempted to harangue the crowd, but
was soon silenced by shouts of "Get
the rope!'' Shoot the jumper!''
and a few shots fired in the air.
He finally agreed to lave town, and
as an evidence of good faith. - the
entire company furnished him an es-

Baldwin. however, returned again
in the course of an hour or two, on
the pretext of getting his baggage and

of the night in vain search for their
man.
Millett was finally located yesterday
morning at the hotel by Detective
Tracey. When the detective stated
his errand Millett became greatly agi-
tated. and there was an affecting
scene when he broke the news to his
wife. He said he was innocent of any
wrong doing and was willingk TO 60

anxiety was about his wife, and he
pleaded with the detective. to allow
him to buy a ticket to send her to his
