Book Companionship,

Books are a guide in youth and an
entertainment for age. They support
us under solitude and keep us from
being a burthen to ourselves. They
help us to forget the crossness OF men
and things; compose our cares and
our passions; and lay our disappolnt
ments asleep. When we are weary
of the living we may repair to the
dead, who have nothing OF peeyish'
ness, pride or design in their COD

"And poor Rosalind! You may not

RECALLS BATTLE
With BANDITS
STORY or KID CURRY IN SOUTH
AMERICA BRINGS REcoLLEc-
TONS OF HIS ~. .. RECORD.

Marmarth Mail: The Butte Miner,
a few days ago, under TWO column
headlines in jockey red, tells OF Kid
Curry, former Montana bandit, hay
ing been located in Argentine, and
gives an account of many of the MUIR
ders, hold-ups and robberies of his
criminal record, which, authorities
claim is the longest criminal record
on file in the annals of the national
bureau of criminal Identification.
Early in the summer OF 1897 Curry
participated in the Union Pacific train
hold-up at Wilcox, Wyo. He and two
other members of the gang were
tracked northward by a posse under
the leadership Of Sheriff Hazen of
Wilcox and the United States marshal
Of Wyoming When the ICY" range
was reached they were joined by Lee
Divine, foreman of that outfit now
marshal of Marmarth, N D., and
deputy sheriff Of Billings county. who
assumed leadership of the posse and
followed the. trail of the bandits for
eleven days, until all trace was lost
in the Big Horn mountains On the
evening of the first day of his hunt,
Divine suggested that they make a
night ride after a brief rest, that the
bandits horses were getting tired, and
1t being a moonlight night they might
be able to overtake them. Returning
TO the trail, he discovered the saddles
and some other junk cached in a gully;
thinking that they might have secured
fresh mounts, they took up the track
of their footprints in the soft ground,
and when they reached within a few
hundred feet. of a washout where the
bandits lay in hiding, Sheriff Hazen,
calling Divine to his side, showed him
a fresh boot track in the ground, say
ing: Here's one that's smoking
yet" With these words the brave Of
ficer fell backward from a soft-nosed
bullet which entered his belt and
passed through his body. Bullets were
then coming. thick and fast. Divine
was planning on surrounding the
washout, but turning, saw that all but
one, plucky doctor from Casper,
named Leeper, had deserted him.
Hazen's cries for water were heart
rending, and Divine carried him to a
creek and gave him a drink from his
hat He then detailed two men who
knew the country to take the wounded
man back TO his home at Wilcox,
where they reached in safety getting
the wounded man to his wife and
family an hour before he died So awe
stricken were most of the men. the u
s. marshal included, that it was with
the utmost difficulty that Divine kept
up the fight during the balance of the
day, after Sheriff Hazen fell. The
bandits ran from cover to cover along
the precipitous banks along Castle
creek giving battle at every turn.
When night came the bandits gained
considerable lead. but were closely
followed for many days until finally
one night they reached a ranch where
they stole fresh horses and disappeared
among the mountains" ~

official duties here still carries a big
six-shooter which he took from one Of

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
