an invasion of Kansas, and In one bat
tie while among their advance guard
he saw a maneuver Of which he
thought the Union general should be
Informed. He therefore made a dash
from the rebel to the opposing lines
His action was so sudden that the
southerners thought his horse hsd be-
come unruly. The audacity of his
movements did not dawn on them for
few moments, when. with yells, a
squad took mp hot pursuit Both ar
mics watched In breathless suspense;
but. always famed for picking superior
mounts. he quickly distanced all save
one. who followed close up behind him,
firing several shots which whistled
close to his ear. Just when Hickok's
horse was compelled to vault a small
creek he turned In his saddle and with
his unerring aim dropped the gallant
pursuer from his horse and rode safe
ly into the Union lines. Here he de-
livered his information to General
Pleasonton. which turned the tide of
the day.
y. Probably the most noted event In his
career was his single handed fight
with Jacob McCandles and his gang
Of nine men at Rock Creek, western
Kansas, while riding pony express in
1861. This was his first great fight
while covering his route, armed only
with two Colt revolvers. He halted
at Rock Creek Station to find the
stock tender dead and his wife excited
by his presence. As he approached
she exclaimed:
my heavens. Bill, McCandles and
his gang are In the neighborhood. or
were this morning.
This gang Of bandits had been lay
ing a trap for Hickok to get him out
Of the way. Rushing to the door to re-
mount and get back, he saw several
heads pop up out Of the grass, and
bullet struck the door jamb. Jumping
back and telling the lady to escape, he
was fortunate to find loaded rife
left by the husband which the Nc
Candles gang did not think of, as
they saw that Bill was armed only
with six shooters. There were some
raillery and badinage between him and
McCandles of defiant nature when
McCandles and nine bandits rose and,
with a yell. charged for the door,
They depended on taking the chance
of losing some Of their men and made
quick charge. Bills instructions
were to me In such cases. "Will, al
ways get the leader" This he did, as
he fired straight at McCandles. the
bullet catching him full In the heart,
and he dropped instantly. By this
time the desperadoes were close upon
the cabin. Jumping aside. he emptied
the revolvers through the cabin door.
Four men fell dead, besides McCan-
dies. at this stage of the game.

and bullet and struck over the head

The friends OF Robt. H. Cannon
of whom there are many here,
will regret very much to learn that
he will not receive his diploma
with the other members of the Sc
nior class at the graduating exer-
cises next Wednesday. Although
Mr.. Cannon has passed all of his
examinations and carried on his
work in a satisfactory manner,
the faculty in making up the rec
ords of the class this morning, dis
covered that he lacked five points
of having performed the amount
of work required for graduation.
The error is supposed to have been
made by the secretary of faculty in
computing the amount OF work
done by Mr.. Cannon when he re-
entered college two years ago.
While of course, disappointed,
Mr.. Cannon is not downcast, and
will remain here during the sum-
mer and make up for his diploma,
which will be awarded him at the
beginning Of the fall term.
Mr.. Cannon is assistant pastor OF
the Methodist church here and IS
very popular both with town and
college people.

"SPRINGS" WARNS VISITORS
Frauds Perpetrated by Drummsrs Exposed
in Official Circular.


Hot Springs, June I2.-Passen-
gers on incoming Iron Mountain
trains are being warned against
doctor drummers, or solicitors tor
quack physicians who have been
victimizing visitors for a score OF
years. The railroad has now taken
hand in the attempt which the
better element of physicians and
residents of Hot Springs have
been supporting tor number Of
years to break up the nefarious
practice. The conductors or train
auditors on incoming Iron Noun
tain trains are now distributing
circulars bearing the signature of
Mayor M. H. Jodd and Superin-
tendent w. Scott Smith OF the U.
S. Reservation, exposing the frauds
perpetrated upon unsuspecting
visitors by the willy drummer. This
move on the part of the railroad
company is regarded as severe
blow at the drumming evil.

OUR MARKET DAY
One of the Best Moves Ever Made
by the Business Men of
Mineral Point.

In all probability one Of the best moves
ever made by our business men has
been the establishing Of Mineral Point
Market Day. The Market Day was
inaugurated by the desire on the part
Of our business men to show their
appreciation Of the growing trade which
they have had aud are now enjoying
with the farmers Of the surrounding
country. And from expression given by
farmers who attended the first Market
day, and also from the amount Of busi
ness done in our stores that day, it was
very evident that the plan was greatly
appreciated by the farmers, who readily
realized the benefit it would be to them
in the future and they without except
on have promised their support.
The committee in charge are to be
commended on their good Iwork and
will, owning to the experience gained at
the first sale, be better able to handle
the business May 6.
The Market Day should prove to be of
great mutual benefit to the farmers and

The influence Of the mountain is pure

couraging the newer vices. In the hill

enough. Go where you will among ths
wilder and more mountainous parts OF
Wales and you will find that rare in

not marred by a curiously defiant dis

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
The League Contest, Base Ball,
and Rhetoricals.


Don't fail to procure tickets for the
declamatory contest.
| If you are willing to take care Of one
or more at the time Of the contest, if it
becomes necessary, please hand your
name to one of the high school pupils.
We have already quite a list, but need
many more.
The Turner Art Exhibit, which we
| expected to have here, will not be here
at this time. This is quite a dis
appointed, but it is no fault of ours.
The company gave US a written con-
tract for the 23d and oath ofApril, early
in the winter, and we supposed that
everything was all right until last
Saturday. We noticed in the Dodge
vile paper that the exhibit was adver
tised to be in Dodgeville from the % to
the "a, and a conversation with Prin-
cipal Kercher over the phone revealed
the fact that he had written contract
the same as ours. This is the com
pany's fault, and as the contest is so
near we have decided not to have the
exhibit at this time.
The base ball boys feel pretty good
over their first game with team of
high school boys. They defeated
Platteville high school last Saturday 12
to II.
Platteville comes here next Saturday,
and you may look for a warm game.
Let all who can spare the time turn out
and help the boys to win.
1t seems to be pretty generally under
stood that our boys were defeated a
short time ago by the Linden high
school. Our boys were defeated at
Linden, but as the Principal, a former
Normal School player, played with the
team it is hardly fair to say that the
high school defeated our boys. We do
not care to have our boys play against
Linden again unless they will play a
high school team, and we have so
notified them.
Rhetoricals at the high school Friday
afternoon, beginning at 2:45. The fol-
lowing program has been prepared, and
