THIS MORNING.
TRAIN CARRIES ABOUT $4,000
AND EVERY PRECAUTION is
BEING TAKEN.

Real detectives joined the party Of
autoists in Devils Lake this morning,
according to the story which will ap-
pear in today's issue Of the AIinneapo-

follows:
Devils Lake, July Reinforced
by Great Northern road detective in
every contesting, non contesting and
official car, the Twin City-Helena tour
lists will leave this city at seven o.
clock today bound for the West. Thirty
six hours rest have refreshed them for
the hard five-days grind awaiting them.
Every precaution is being taken by
Special Agent Al. Ray to ward off hold
up artists that infest the country be-
tween here and the Montana destina-
ton. His guards at. night have been
doubled, fearing impending trouble,
and he has arranged wires so that quick
dispatches may be forwarded to police
in every city along the route for hun
dreds of miles in every direction.
Acting on the suggestion of Hoke
Smith, who for several days held down
position as police reporter on Chi
cago newspaper and is thoroughly ac
quainted with the habits Of criminals
Mr.. Ray summoned an increased force
of detectives, which are concentrating
on the tour.
About sixty suspects were "black

to the fact that the train carries about
$4,000 in cash, stringent measures were
ordered by President Hill to protect the
travellers.

Along in the early spring when the call

"Who bought herr" he asked.
Dede's eyes flashed in the way long
since familiar to him when she was
angry.
Don't you dare buy her back for
me-" she cried. "And don't deny that
that was what you had in mind"
Il wish yon would reconsider, Miss
Mason" he saidzqsoftly. Not alone
for the mares sake, but for my sake.

her voice.

She came herself to the door to
receive him and shake hands with
him. He hung his macintosh and
hat on the rack In the comfortable
hall and turned to her for direction.
They are busy In there" she said,
indicating the parlor, from which
came the b~oisterous voices of young
people, and through the open door OF
which he could see several college
youths. $50 you will have to come

She led the way through the door

and, once inside. he stood awkwardly
rooted to the floor, gazing about him
and at her and all the time trying not
to gaze. In his perturbation he failed
to hear and see her invitation to- a
seat.

So precipitate was he, that she had

She visibly hesitated.
"And just remember n thing, Miss
Mason: it's his leg, not yours"
Still she refrained from giving her
answer, and Daylight went on
strengthening his position.

him alone. He's a man, and L can

Daylight made no answer, and the
door closed behind her.
Half an hour later he was con-

Daylight long before had grubstaked

and publishers would not look at it,
and Daylight was now using the dis

secret service system he had been
compelled to establish for himself.
Jones, who affected to be surprised at
nothing after his crushing experience,
betrayed no surprise 0 when the
task was given him to locate the pur-
chaser of a certain sorrel mare.

asked.

Man Eating Wild Men.

In the celebrated "Travailes" Of Ed
ward Webb $500 are dozens Of stories
that would make Munchausen turn
green with envy. One Of the most cele-
brated of these Is his story Of the wild
men of Prester-Jo John. which is as fol
lows:
I'm the court of Prester Iohn there is
a wilde man and another In the high
street of Constantinople whose allow
ance is every day a quarter Of raw
mutton, and when any man dyeth for
some notorious offence then they are
allowed every day a quarter OF mans
flesh. These wilde men are chained
fast to post every day, the one In
Prester Iohn's courtd. the other in the
high street of Constantinople, each OF
them having mantell about their
shoulders. and all over their bodyes
they have wonderful long hare. They
are chained by the neck lest they

He Couldn't Be Fooled About the
Growth Of the Trees.
A promoter for a rubber company
was trying to persuade Mr.. Spangler
to invest some Of his savings in the
company's stock. The demand for
rubber. he said. was worldwide and
constantly increasing. The company
owned immense forests Of rubber
trees and kept an army Of workers
employed all the time in gathering the
crude rubber The output was enor-
nous, and the profits-well, the scheme
was certainly better than gold mine.

suspiciously. that the forests are be-
ing exhausted"
that's true to some extent" an

the First Course OF HE Meat Got Him
Into Serious Trouble.
In my travels | visited the jail al
Thayet-Myo, in Burma. On the morn
ing of my visit there had undoubtedly
been an unusual occurrence. A python
twenty-five feet long and twenty-eight
inches in girth had entered the vege-
table garden AID crossed it to the fowl
pen. Besides the fowls, there were
some five ducks in the pen. Now, the
front of the pen was fenced with dia-
mond mesh galvanized wire netting of
strong type.
The snake could not resist a fat
duck. so, putting its head and neck
through the stout diamond frame, it
seized and swallowed one. l have no
doubt whatever that it would have
"mopped up the bunch" inside the
house, but that in adjusting No. l to
make room for No. 2 it became aware
of an ueasy feeling owing to the wire
around its waist. Neither have I any
doubt that in addition to becoming
uneasy it became seriously alarmed.
Being now unable either to disgorge
or to get away, it tore of the whole
section of netting, 6 feet by 8, and re-
turned with the necklace or waist
band through the cabbages. Not un-
naturally, think, the sentry, seeing
6 by 8 foot wire section Of fencing
marching through the cabbage patch
without any visible means of support,
gave5the alarm and then opened fire.
The prison guard rushed out and
also opened fire, and very shortly our
hero lay dead in his frame. He was
skinned and his skin cured and Dress

A COMPETENT WITNESS.
Tho Mules Testimony Was Taken and
Accepted by the Judge.

Accepted by the Judge.
The originator Of q widely known
probation system, Judge William j.
Pollard Of st. Louis police court, is
the subject of Boston Herald story
which illustrates his unique way of
dealing out justice to minor offenders.
A driver had been brought before
Judge Pollard charged with cruelty to
animals. He had been driving CALLED
mule, but he had an expert witness in
a veterinarian who testified that the
sore on the mules back did not pain
the animal in the least.
The judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinions and then de-
manded to know the mules where
abouts. He was informed that it was
harnessed to a wagon which stood on
the street in front of the courthouse.
The judge then ordered that court to
be adjourned for five minutes.
He took his cane and proceeded to
the street, went up to the mule and
with the end Of his cane gently touch
ed the sore spot on the animals back.
The mule promptly tried to kick the
dashboard off the wagon. Once again
the judge touched the sore spot with
his cane, and the mule responded as
before.
Judge Pollard returned to the bench.
The prisoner was called before him.
with all due respect to the expert
testimony you have had introduced in
your behalf to show that the mules
back does not pain him, l will fine
you $780," announced the judge. II
asked the mule If the sore hurt him,
and he said it did"
