on the only debaueh thc venerable in
stitution ever enjoyed.
There was q sharp curve just be-
fore the end of the SYSTEMS line and
the frenzicd horses ierked the little old
car around it ON one wheel, with the
two jags hanging on by their eyebrows
and yelling like mad. The avalanche
didn't even hesitate for the freight
track, but jumped ACROSS and ploughed
into the waiting line Of carriages and
conveyanccs. Tor a moment the air
was full of street car, horses, hacks,
express wagons and omnibuSscs while
the two inebriatcs described para
bola over the tumult and landed but
ter side up on the platform beyond,
not hurt Il bit. The damage was
pretty heavy"
Did it put the system out Of bust
ness?' asked the Regular Customer
Not quite, but the car didn't run
so very much longer. one day, when
the driver needed the money especially,
the receipts were only 50 cents and
the man got disguised and threw up
his job and there was nobody with
leisure enough to be his successor, So,
after all, the old Missoula street car
line died a natural death, with only
one red letter day in its pneventful
carcrr.''

A CAR THAT RAN AWAY

hours victory over the darkness and
Stunning his last meal for the night.
The Proprietor was watching him, all
the time shuffling his pack of meal
tickets. Everything was quiet, with
the exception of a fat man at the
other end of the counter. He was cat
ing soup; "inhaling it, as the Regular
! Customer remarked after the big one
the day. that time when the world
stands still, seemingly. to catch it's
breath for another Whrl. The Pro
prietor had shown no signs of wanting
to talk and the Regular Customer had
given up all hopes Of Il story that
night He was unculy pessinistic,
however. for the man behind the
counter asked "Whcn are we going to
have street cars, Mr., --?'
After he had been told that the
powers alone knew and that they
hadn't issued any recent bulletins on
the matter The Proprietor delivered
himself of the following:
4 Some of the newcomers don't know
that Missoula formerly had d street
car system of it's very own, but such
is the case. Way back in the early
90's there was a lone horse. ear that
rambIed up and down from the depot
and, afterwards, over to the south side
nd tn mil i'm
a hit-or-mss sort of a schedule and
never exceeding the speed limit to
amount to much Joe Solomon owned
the plant and the car barn was where
the Paxton block now stands.
The car didn't get a very heavy
play and there We're whole days when
the proceeds wouldn't pay the drivers
salary not to mention dividends.
4 Finally, the owner began to let the
I driver keep all he made as his wages,
! simply keeping the car running enough
to prevent the weeds from getting too
firm hold on the right of way and to
retain the franchise granted by the
city.
Il believe | said the speed limit
never was exceeded well, it was. but
only once. one day two prominent
young fellows about town went on a
bat and wound up by stealing the
street car system. paying the driver
half a dollar to go home and forget
his troubles. For time they had lots
of fun and then the horses ran away.
Down Higgins avenue the OUTFIT
went, all hands to breakfast, with the
two packages on the roof. hanging on
to the stove pipe and the Ventlator
over the oil lamp that sort of tenn
pered the gloom at night time. They
couldn't get down to reach the brake
without falling off and the horsese
were galloping. Down the avenue the
car went rocking from side to side,
with the two passengers on the quarter
deck bowling for mercy and the pOpu-
lace cheering wildly from the side
lines The \, p depot WAS where the
