Tie Avalanche notes:

The Avalanche notes:
''That long talked d-of sociability run
to Meeker has been pulled off. And
it WAS some run. With thirty-four
cars, loaded with good-humored hu-
manity to the guards, kicking up the
dust OF Garfield and Rio Blanco coun-
ties between Glenwood and the White
River metropolic, the roads In excel
lent condition and every circumstance
connected with the run exactly right,
no one who saw the cavalcade could
doubt that 1t was real sOciability
run-a pure dyed-in-the-wool, bona
fide sociability run. Also it might
be added. the good people OF the pro-
gressive little White river town con-
tributed large share of the sociabil-
ity.
1.-The Rifle Meeker road was in fair
ly good shape and three hours and
ten minutes was about the average
time required for the trip. One car, n
Paige, driven by VIM. Burnison, made
the run from Glenwood in two hours
and forty minutes. The people of
Meeker were certainly shown that n
drive from Meeker to Glenwood and
return in one day with room for n
good sized visit in the interim is II
snap-a real duck soup kind of n
proposition"

The Glenwood SociabiIity Run

The Glenwood papers comment, In

run from that town to this.
The Post among other things says:
Especial mention was made Of the
royal manner In which the CONNER
cial club opened up its rooms and ex-
tended the glad hand to the visitors
of the day. The spirit Of good fellow
ship was the order Of the day."

GAME WARDEN REPORTS RENAL GAME CONDITION
 HAWKS KILLING BIRD;

Dr. J. A. Baughman, game warden for the Seward section, has returned from tour of the Kenai Peninsula section and his report was received today by Governor Strong.
 Dr, Baughman reports that moose are very plentiful in thas section and that no reports of game law viola tions were received by him. Every settler in that section is using every endeavor in their power to preserve the game animals.
 Ptarmigan are very scarce and the residents and hunters are divided in their opinions of the cause. Some believe the birds have migrated, otl;- CTS that they are high up in the mountains. and still others that the owls and hawks are killing them off. Dr. Baughman inclines to the latter theory as he received reports of nine ptarmigan found dead in one day which had been killed by hawks.
 Lynx are more plentiful than they have been since four years ago. They have followed the large droves of rabbits into that section, the latter being very thick.
 pr. Baughman reports that Cooks Inlet was covered with ice as far as he could see with a powerful field glass, and old timers report more ice than at any time since 1896. The coldest weather registered at Renal was 2S below during the month of February.

"The express messenger was arm. ed but the bandits had the engineer call to him to open the door and as that is frequent occurrence, the messenger did not think anything of 1t.
 When he opened the door he found two robbers with the engineer and they had him covered. so resistance was useless. They took his gun away and kept it. We were not tied up or anything and one man guarded us while the other went through the car.
 q don't know how much they got but i have since heard that Q ship. ment of S1O,OOO in bank notes is miss. ing. It was a thrilling experience while 1t lasted and don't want any more of it." Ericson said.
 "The robbers wore slouch hats and full length masks, and were covered with long. gray overcoats so that we could not get a good look at them. However. the sherifs have a descrip- tion of the men.

After few minutes we heard an explosion in the express car where the robbers were trying to blow the safe. They blew 1t seven time but were unable to force 1t open.
 "When they found they could moi get any thing from the express safe they brought the engineer back and made him tell us to open our door. We were unarmed and could not put up any resistance The robbers en. tered our car and rined the mall sacks They took 50 sacks of reg istered mail and loaded It on the en- zine, afterwards running the engine up the track @ couple of miles where they searched the pouches and then made their get away.
 "The two men bearded the train at Auburn and climbed over the ten der, forcing the engineer and fremen to uncouple the mail and express cars and run up the track a couple of miles. The fireman was left with the rest of the train. Then the rob bers made the engineer stop again and went after the express and mail. When they finished they made tho engineer start the engine for them and then kicked him off. They ran the locomotive for o couple of miles and then left her. All the mall that they did not want was left on the en- zine and was there when we found her.
