Students returning TO the univer.
stiles and others suffered considerable
Inconvenience ut the local Chicago
q Northwestern station last Sunday
evening due to the fact that they were
unable to purchase tickets and hence
had difficulty in getting their baggage
checked The ticket seller was con
spicuous by his absence and the only
redeeming feature was the fact that
the baggageman was on the Job. The
many inquiries for the reason for the
inconvenience brought forththe answ-
erthat the operator was not paid for
overtime on Sunday evenings, hence
was not under obligation to be there
to sell tickets. Around about train
time the Northwestern station is usu-
ally lighted, but even this convenience
was denied those gathered there last
Sunday evening and when the train
pulled in the large crowd Of students
and others CROPPED their way through
the darkness to go aboard. Such
treatment at the hands of the Moth
westernat evensuchan inconsequenii-
al little stopping place as Hurley is
uncalled for, and it is hoped it was
simply an oversight which will not
occur again. Hurley and its people
are as much entitled to the convent
ences furnished by railroads as any
other city.

Evidently Bro Douglas finds that in
these strenuous times an editor can
have but one iron in the fire.

City Treasurer Il. NJ Reible reports
that tax money has been coming in
at a lively rate since the irst of the
year and that about half of the total
amount to be collected has been paid
in. However, no doubt many tax
payers will take advantage of the eX-
tension of time granted them by the
city council Tuesday evening when
the time for paying taxes without
penalty was extended to March list,
and Treasurer Reible may expect a
slump in business.

Richard Bullock. known as dead

England, some eighty years ago. AT
the age Of twenty-one he came to
America and at length .drifted to the
West. For while he worked In the
mines in the Black Hill country. AT
that time miners there were greatly
discouraged and vexed by the unusual
activity Of bandits. Desperadoes op-
Grating individually and in groups
were holding up stages running be-
tween the mining country and the
settlements In tho East with such reg.
ularity that chances Of getting their
gold shipments through were slim.
Bullock saw In this situation an op.
portunity tt, do the miners a good turn
and himself, too. to earn q rood live
lihood and to enjoy no end Of thrills
and adventures. So he laid away his
pick and shovel armed himself with
wicked-looRing gun and embarked in
the businessaof hunting "road agents. /"
