THE TRAIN SCARED HIM

Two Araphoe Indians from the,
Shoshone reservation were passengers
on the train going to- Denver last
night on their way to the Araphoe
agency in Indian Territory. Their
names are Shakespeare II White
Antelope and they go, as n Oh
them said, to carry the gospel to their
heather brothers.
Shakespeare is an educated Indian
and speaks good English as he has
been for a number of years at the
Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. White
Antelope is a true son of the prairie
and becomes as wild as a deer as
he approaches civilization. He was
converted on the reservation and goes
out as a missionary, representing the
wild portion of the tribe. he was
willing to leave the reservation to
see the world but when he reached
Rawlins and saw the train coming
in it was too much for his nerves
and with one wild whoop he broke
away and started across the prairie.
He was captured and brought back
to his companions, who had to mold
him and explain about the train be-
fore he could be induced to approach.
They got, aboard the Denver train
all right but it will no doubt be
amusing to see White Antelope when
he gets mixed up with the cable and
the electric cars in Denver.
Reports of a wonderfully rich gold
discovery on the eastern side of the
Medicine Bow range reached this city

and is exceedingly rich in precious
metal.

An exchange says that there is
but one lawyer in heaven. How he
got there is not positively known;
but 1t is ~conjectured that he passed
himself off for an editor and slipped
in after night. When his dodge was
discovered they searched the realms
OF felicity in their length and breath
for another lawyer to draw papers
OF ejectment. but they could not find
one and OF course he held the fort.
Miss Molly Nicholson. who has
been visiting friends in Salt Lake
for some time past, returned last
week and was warmly welcomed by
her legion OF friends.

stock.
