WILD AND WOODY DAYS
OF THE COUNCIL BLUFFS"
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Through the woods came horsemen
riding as men knew how to ride in
those days, low in their saddles, ready
to leap to the ground and draw gun
or knife, and so It seemed that Hogan
and Allen would fight some other
day. But they did fight that day
Right there. But with an enlarged
crowd of excited, cheering spectators.
Posse stayed to Watch
whether or not it was the insid-
ious charm of the scenery or the
feeling of sportsmanship that was
aroused by the sight of the two fight
ers in trim for their serious work, no
one ever told, but something of the
same spirit that led the railroad to
aid and abet the fight seized those
sturdy men who had been summoned
to stop the fight. They remained and
saw it through.
There was another chapter to the
story. The soldier boys and the Off
GERS were not participants in the joy
of contest, but wanted to make the
arrests as the party of fighters and
onlookers arrived in Council Bluffs.
They waited many hours and would
have been waiting yet had they re-
mained there for their prey. The
fighting party did not return-to
Council Bluffs-at least not by the
Council Bluffs, 81. Joseph and Kansas
City railroad that day. They crossed
the Missouri river at Traders Point
now Plattsmouth, Neb., and scatter
ing out reached Omaha in various
ways and by numerous routes.
"Then began an official investiga-
ton. who signed the train order
And where was that train order? II
should have been on file, according
to all rules of railroading. But as &c
that no one ever learned. The train
crew never lost a day or an hour by
being laid off.

you are bilious, constipated, nervous,

purify the entire alimentary tract.
Do your inside bathing Immediately
upon arising in the morning to wash
out Of the system all the previous

And the three kisses?
First there's the Passionate
Kiss, the kiss Of sudden love. It's
the kiss given in some secluded
nook, planted squarely on the
lady's lips, and backed up by a
pair of strong arms held close
around her shoulders. It's the
"I'll-have-her-yet" kiss, the kiss
that made the hero dare to take
a fighting chance of happiness.
Then there's the Kiss of Renun-
citation. still a more or less secret
affair, chivalrously press d
upon the lady's clasped hands.
It's the "Darling-I-am-not-worthy-
Iof-you" kiss, the "I-am-going-
away-forever" kiss, and means
that things are in a bad way, in
deed, for our hero.
The third doesn't looi like q
kiss, but it is. It's the Hiss of
Contentment, the comfortable,
snugly, cheek-to-cheek caress that
all the world may see, the "peace-
after-battle" kiss that says You
love me-the Warld Is zine"
