FIRST THINGS .

The first pony express service was
established fifty-two years ago today,
its purpose being to transport the
mails across the plains and mountains
between st. Joseph, Mo-, and San
Francisco. Two pony couriers start
ed on the same day, one from the
Missouri city and one from San Fran
cisco. The 1900 miles course was
covered in about seven and a half
days. Twelve miles an hour ,consti-
tuted the schedule without rest, there
being frequent relays. The service
was severe and dangerous, the riders
suffering much from cold, hunger and
fatigue, and being constantly exposed
to attacks by the Indians. The
weight carried was not to exceed ten
pounds, and the charge was So for
each uuarter-ounce. The riders were
paid $1,000 a month. The pony ex-
press was continued two years, when
the telegraph took its place.

CALLED A B0LTER
Ex-Governor Of Oklahoma De
clares He Did Not Vote
For Blaine in 1884

Guthrie, Okla, April 9-That Theo-
dore Roosevelt bolted Blaine for Pres
ident in 1884 is the declaration made
by ex-Gov. Ferguson of Oklahoma
Territory. He says:
FIX President Roosevelt is making
a grave mistake when he advises his
audiences that they do not have to
abide by the result Of the primaries
He has made that statement several
times recently
Roosevelt Is not always a good Re
publican. He was in the convention
that nominated Blaine in 1884, and
then bolted the convention and sup
ported Grover Cleveland. This is q
fact not generally remembered.
'iMr Roosevelt should be more
guarded in his statements. If he is
nominated, every Republican will be
expected to support him. and should
do so. If Mr.. Taft is nominated
every Republican should support him.

A. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

About 2 o'clock this afternoon
as Arabella Bruce, Elvina Blivens
and Niles Bruce were out riding,
the horse Miss Bruce was driving
became frightened and backed over
the steep grade in front of MIR.
Yowelfs mouse on the hill.
The bank at point is steep and
from 20 to 50 feet high. AS they
were going down, Miss Bruce
jumped out and received a tut on
the face that bled freely, but is
not eriouS. Miss Blevins and
Niles Bruce and his dog and the
buggy and horRe went over the
steep bank into Mr.. MalIett's
back yard. The horse fell on the
buggy smashing it beyond hope of
repair. Miss Blevins was pinned
in the wreckage and received
several bruises on one of her legs.
Niles and his dog, and the horse
excaped without scratch.
= Mr.. and Mrs. Mallet were
startled from their dinner by Miss
BlPvin's screams and went to her
assistance. They released her
from the wreckage and carried her
into the house. HDr. West was
summoned and pronounced her
injuries slight, no bones were
broken.
The horse belongs to Miss
Bruce's father and is gentle
farm horse. She had driven it
many times Miss Bruce thinks
he vas frightened at piece of
concrete that lay in the street.
There should be solid railing put
along the street on the brow of
the hill to prevent such accidents
as occurred this afternoon.
How Miss Blevins and Niles
Bruce escaped being killed is q
miracle. When one looks at the
wreck of the buggy, he cannot
figure out they escaped.
