The impression conveyed to the
writer of this at the time was that he
had jotted clown the speech before
hand, possibly in the railroad car, and
had got some one to make the copy
from which he read. Most Of the other
statements in the above summary are
certainly wide Of the mark. The speech
was not read in low tone Of voice,
but in a very loud tone and without
any hesitation whatever.
It was published in many papers
throughout the country the morning
after It was delivered. Tho speech
was literally applauded, and It may
be safely said that few speeches Of the

ever spoken that made a profounder
impression. And yet there were prob
ably not ten persons in the audience
who were so deeply impressed with 1t
at the time as nine out Of ten are who
read 1t now. Not a single New York
paper had word to say about 1t the
morning that 1t first appeared in its
columns, though they all made edito-
rial comment on Mr.. Everett's grafton
and on Henry Ward Beecher's speech.

facts and as an excuse for what may
appear to be overconfdence in their
accuracy the writer Of this may be
permitted to state that he occupied a
seat in front Of the platform and with

the two robbers there. One OF the
farmers heard him say: IF this luck
holds well be whore we can 60 in
either Of five directions. In this dreary
region we'd git starvation sure" Then
he went forward again.
1t was about s o'clock. The two rob-
bers In the passenger coach were sit
ting talking together. They had taken
a position where they could keep the
party of farmers before them. The
farmers occupied two seats facing each
other, the men facing the women and
the robbers, the women with their
backs to the robbers. The latter had
quieted down. One Of them got up and
walked past the outlaws to the rear Of
the car. They followed her with their
eyes till they saw that she had gone to
get a glass of water, then ceased to
pay any attention to her. Suddenly two
words rang out sharp and clear above
the rattle of the train:
Hands upr'
The order was shouted within foot
Of the two robbers ears. At the same
moment the farmers each whipped out
a revolver. The robbers flrst impulse
was to look back. They saw a woman
with revolver in each hand, the muz-
xles within few inches Of their heads.
Then the two farmers approached and
disarmed the robbers, while the two
women threw or their outside apparel
and appeared In mems attire. One OF
the two robbers gave yell as a signal
for his fellows, but his voice was
drowned by the rattle Of the train.
Two Of the farmers now proceeded
to the baggage car. One of them threw
open the door. while the other stood
with revolver pointed into the car.
The robber there was on the lookout
and fred a. soon AZ the door was
opened, but a. tho man who threatened
him stood beside instead Of before the
door he was uninjured. simms at the
time was on the locomotive. Hearing
the shot, he was climbing over the coal
in the tender to go to the baggage car
when the engineer shot him dead. The
robber In the baggage car. not receiv-
ing assistance, soon yielded to an order
to throw up his hands. In ave minutes

When the Pacific railroads were new
great deal Of the property along the
lines was q wilderness. 1t was often
many miles between stations. and a
station was frequently merely a place
for people to come from distance to
get aboard the cars.
One evening In December train ap-
preaching one Of these sheds-for that
Is all It was-was tagged with q ban
danna handkerchief by four men. The
engineer pulled up at the platform. and
the men got aboard. They were for
time very well behaved, looking about
them evidently with a view to observ-
ing their surroundings. The train con-
sisted Of a locomotive, a baggage car
and a coach. The only passengers
were two men, peaceable looking farm
era, and two women. apparently their
wives.
"See here, Mr.. Conductor" said one
Of the party, "I'm the president Of this
company list now. and you're to look
to me for orders. I'll trouble You to
increase this funeral pace and snake
us along to the next station across the
divide. You 60 tell the engineer that
I'll give him three hours to make the
112 miles,
"Who are your asked the conductor.
"Who am I? I'm Simms."
There was a grim silence. The two
farmers cast glances at each other, and
their wives got down under the seats.
simms and his gang had terrorized the
region for months without being mo-
Tested. No one either dared or felt dis
posed to make It his business to hunt
them down. A few days before they
had entered a town, plundered bank
in broad daylight and taken to the .des-
olate region through which they were
travelling.
"Now, we don't want nothing" con-
tinued Simms, "but to git on. There's
no plumber aboard this train. and we
don't want it II there is. Git us to

ing, at least within tho train, and In
deed there did not appear to be any
thing to dread. The few train hands
aboard moved about at their usual du-
ties, while the farmers and their wives
seemed to be dreading every moment

Erection Of Another Monument
on Historic Battlefield - The
War Presidents Famous Ad-
dress.

-WOSCORE and nine years ago
Lincoln made his memorable
speech on the famous battle
field Of Gettysburg. Numerous
monuments have been erected on this
historic ground In memory Of the occa-
sion, and the latest was started last
December. 1t is erected within sight
Of the place where Lincoln delivered
his address.
This monument is surmounted by
bronze bust of the civil war president
and also contains two granite tablets,
on one of which Ia inscribed tho Get
tysburg speech. An appropriation by
congress some years ago provided for
the cost.
1t is doubtful, says the writer who
reported Lincoln's Gettysburg address
for the New York Times, whether
among all the people who attended the
famous battleHeld's ceremonies on Nov.
10, 1909, a dozen could have been found
directly after It who would agree, even
in essential points, as to the manner Of
its delivery or how It was received by
the audience. Even the speech itself,
as originally written and printed, has
undergone no less than half a dozen
verbal changes at the hands Of authors
who have had occasion to insert It in
their books. For example, the ninth
sentence of the speech was written and
spoken by Mr.. Lincoln as follows: "It
Is for us, the living, rather to be dedi-
Gated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far 80 nobly carried on" But in most
Of the lives Of Lincoln, including that
Of Henry ]. Raymond, and In General
Logan's "Great Conspiracy" the last
two words Of the sentence are dropped
and the word advanced" substituted
in their place, a change smacking more
Of Latin than Of Lincoln and less ex-
pressive than the original. These slight
verbal changes are trifiing, however,
compared with the diverse and contra
dictory accounts that have been given
of the circumstances attending its de-
livery by those who claim to have heard
the speech. A writer thus summarizes
the misstatements that he says have
been made:
First, the grafton was hastily written
on the train between Baltimore and Get
tysburs. second, II was read by the aid
OF spectacles. hesitatingIy and in a low
tone Of voice, SO as to be inaudible except

stances would have passed into oblivion.
Most Of the above are unquestion-
ably Measurements, but not ALL Mr..

the manuscript as some clergymen do,
