TO THE VOTERS
Of EMMONS COUNTY

| The writer remembers having read
in a magazine while ago para
graph about reporter for a news
paper that had been sort of asleep.
while the undertaking deiuge of a
couple of years ago-and which was
so vigorously lambasted by President
Roosevelt-was in full blast Finally
the managing editor awakened and
said TO writer on paper, We must
have IL story along popular lines.
But he said, 1T is too late to begin
now. All men OF national prominence
have been given touch of high life.
There are none left Well if that
is so, said the managing editor. write

And this brings to mind that Mr..
Herolz and his wOrkers-not being
able to point to a single flaw in the
record of the editor of this paper
during his two terms in the legisla-
ture make frequent intimations as
to the writer being ga corporation

the many abuses existing, and
which President Roosevelt has made
such earnest efforts to correct. it, is
an easy task to prejudice voters In
counties containing as many newcom

contain, against man whom they do
not know, through casting suspicion
upon him by saying, as Represents.

| Such intimations and charges are
| wholly unjust and unmerited; but If

that men of the Herolz and Storey
caliber require.
The editor of the Record has al
ways been ready and willing to take
the public into his confidence on
political matters. 1t was for the rea-
son that we wished Mr. Herolz to
have an opportunity to attack our
record If he wished to-
publically, and not through circulars
sent out in letter form-that We
asked him to meet us in joint debate
throughout the county. But this

The Anti.Pass Bill.

The evening that Governor Burke
spoke in Linton a gentleman in the
audience-a prominent democratic
politician, Mr.. Pritchard, of this viii
lage-asked him how Streeter voted
on the anti-pass bill The governor
did not vouchsafe much information
in reply.
In this connection we will state
that we have the House and Senate
journals in the Record editorial room,
and all who wish to inspect those
books are cordially invited to do so.
The writer did NOT vote for the
anti-pass bill and for the following
reason:
The anti-pass bill was known as
Senate. Bill No. 90. As 1t passed the
Senate it was good practical bill.
When il was received in the House it took
the usual course, being referred to
the committee on railroads. 1t was by
that committee amended in important
particulars and reported to the House
1t was referred to General Orders,
in the Committee of the Whole House.
The amendments changed the whole
nature of the Senate bill, and in the
iudgment of the writer made it OF no
use whatever. The writer voted
AGAINST il as amended, but stated
ON the floor that he was ready and
willing TO vote for the bill as 1t came
from the Senate The bill was then
postponed to another day for con-
sideration. When it came up again
II was further amended, one of the
amendments being as follows: Nor
shall any provision OF this act pre-
vent any common carrier carrying
persons actively engaged in the pur-
suit of emigration or land business
in this state, free of charge, or by
any special arrangements which sail
common carrier may see fit to make !"
This made the bill still more alb
surd for the reason that anybody
whom the railroad people wanted to
rive pass to could put line or
two in a paper advertising himself
as dealing in real estate. or hans
ont a shingle to that effect. and the
company could give him yearly pass il
they wanted to- Again. the writer
voted against the bill. as 1t had been
entirely changed from the whole

The Car. Sealing Bill.
A short time before the last scs-
sion of the legislature a farmer re
siding in Tell precinct of this county
while In Linton, asked the writer
whether It would not be possible to
get bill enacted into law that
would make the railroads responsible
for cars left sometimes for ten days
or fortnight on sidings at stations
| where there were no agents. Al Kin
tyre station he had loaded a car of
fax, and. as the car was not sealed
or taken to the next station (Napol-
eon) where there vas an agent, and
sealed. considerable of the fax had
been stolen. kintyre was but one
no agents. The hill, known ~ HousA-
Bill No. IL. was introduced by the
member from this county and passed
the House. Then 1t went to the sen.
ate II was fair bin in every way
1t provided that at any station where
there was no agent the conductor OF
the first freight or mixed train In
either direction should seal and re
ceipt for the car, thus assuming res
possibility. Or the Car could bt
taken by the first freight or mixed
train going toward the destination
of the contents of the carr to the
next station and there sealed and
billed and the receipt sent to the
shipper at his postoffice.
Well, the bill, after passing the
House, was sent to the Senate, where
in due time II was referred to the
committee on railways, who reported
1t favOrably; the authOr OF the uii

midst OF a thicket of willows, wide
awake, yet not quite ready to ford the
Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore.
Crouched behind log, he had so far
yielded unto temptation as to light his
pipe.
Murphy had been amid just such
unpleasant environments many times
before, and the experience had grown
somewhat prosaic. Even lndian-scout'
ing degenerates into commonplace
at last. So Murphy puffed contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle OF a branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe
bowl, the other grasping the heavy re-
volver at his hip. There came plain,

That single word, hurled thus unex-
pectedly out of the black night, startled
him more than would volley of rifles.
He sprang half erect, then as swiftly
orouched behind willow. utterly un
able to articulate. For the instant his
very blood ran cold; he appeared to
shrivel up.

the stranger permitted him to drop

He had hardly taken a half dozen
steps before Murphy called after him:
"Don't-don't go an leave me-it's

down upon his huddled figure. You're

for the dash northward. Hampton be-

CHAPTER Xxvll.-Continued.


The memory of his old plain craft
would not permit any neglect OF the
few necessaries for the trip. He
bought without haggling o;er prices,
but insisted or the best. So it was
four in the afternoon when he finally
struck into the trail leading north
ward. He rode mettlesome, half
broken bronco, wicked-eyed brute,
which required to be conquered twice
ond and more quiet animal trailed be-
hind at the end Of lariat, bearing the
necessary equipment.
He had, by persistent questioning,
acquired considerable information, dur
ing that busy hour spent in Cheyenne,
regarding the untracked regions lying
before him, as we'll as the character
sued. Both by instinct and training
he was able to comprehend those brief
hints that must prove Of vast benefit
In the painless wilderness.
The night was already dark, but
stars were cleaning brilliantly over
head, and the trail remained easily
traceable. It became terribly lonely
on that wilderness stretching away
for Unknown leagues in every direc-
ton, yet Hampton scarcely noted this,
so watchful was he lest he miss the
trail. To his judgment, Murphy would
not be likely to ride during the night
until after he had crossed the Fourche.
There was no reason to suspect that
there were any hostile Indians south
of that stream, and probably therefore
the old scout would endeavor to con-
serve his own strength and that of his
horses, for the more perilous travel
beyond.
About midnight, the trail becoming
obscure, the rider made camp, conf
dent he must have already gained
heavily on the man he pursued. He
lariated his horses and fiinging him
self down on some soft turf, almost
Immediately dropped asleep. He was
up again before daylight. and, after
nasty meal, pressed on. The nature
of the country had changed consider
ably, becoming more broken, the view
circumscribed by towering cliffs and
deep ravines.
Late in the afternoon .he refined up
his horse and gazed forward into a
broad valley, bounded with precipi-
tous bluffs. The trail led directly
down toward where considerable
stream OF water shone silvery In the
sun, half concealed behind fringe of
willows. And yonder, close In against
those distant willows, some black dots
were moving. Hampton glued his
anxious eyes to the glass. The leveled
tubes clearly revealed man on horee-
bac.., leading another horse. The ami
mails were walking. There could be 1T.
ue doubt that this was Silent Murphy.
