For three years Alice Sterling
had stalked her prey through
the rough mining camps, some
times only a day or two behind
him, before she finally caught
up with him 10 settle the score
in her own way.
A lot of the women of the Old
West were just as handy with a
shootin' iron as the men. There
was Cattle Annie" the famous
woman mstlcr with the Doolin
gang. She was a fightin' fool
with five notches on her gun.
Pearl Hart started out to be
a gunwoman like Annie. But she
bungled her first job J. the hold
up of the Benson stagecoach.
That is, she and a pal robbed the
coach all right but the next
morning the sheriff walked into
her hideout and ended her career
right there and then.
But that was day Of chances.
Everything was a gamble. You
gambled on your luck in the
mines. Your life was in the pot
every time you went out where
the Indians or road-agents could
get a shot at you.
"Deadwood Dick" Clarke was
another far nous character of
those days. He was an old Pony
Express rider, had been a scout
with Custer and was about as
picturesque figure as you'd see
anywhere in the Black Hills.
THE Pony Express riders had a
heap of Indian trouble.
One time when things got
pretty bad the settlers decided
the Indians ought to be taught a
lesson once and for all, and sent
out a call for volunteers.
Recruits for the Indian war
poured in from all the camps,
Virginia City, Silver City, Genoa,
and Carson City. A little over a
hundred men rallied in no time.
But it was a ragtag and bobtail
outfit. The fighters had plenty
of courage, but the leadership
was poor.

charge and the little army struck
out for the campaign from Vir-
ginia City in high spirits. IAN

ARTISTS, WRITERS
 HOLD OPEN FORUM
State Campaign Issues Dis= cussed By Candidates at
 Middlebury Sunday

An open forum program on state campaign issues was held by the Connecticut Artists and Writers at Middlebury Town Hall yesterday with two candidates for major office from each party expounding their views. The speakers were Secretary of State Mrs. Chase Going Wood- house CD, candidate for reelection: Reinhart L. Gideon CD, candidate for attorney general; Rep. William l.. Hadden (R), candidate for lieu tenant-governor; and Mrs. Frances Redick (R), candidate for secretary of state.
 Mrs. Woodhouse declared that the reelection of Gov. Robert A. Hurley would most benefit the state. With in each party, she said, there are both conservatives and liberals, but the greatest advances in liberal leg islation have been made by the Democrats.
 MT. Gideon praised the Demo- cratic platform, pointing out that it made specific pledges, in contrast to a Republican platform of gen. eraities. The Democratic plank on education alone, he said, is worth more than the entire COP. plat form.
 MT. Hadden declared that ex-Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, who heads the Republican ticket, is more able than Gov. Hurley and should be elected. He had been in the Legis- latlire under both, he said, and MT. Baldwin had shown himself more capable.
 Mrs. Redick said that the Re- publican platform is extremely hon. est and courageous. In these times. she asserted, detailed promises Ian- not be made with any assurance that they can be fulfilled.
 The prepared addresses by each speaker were followed by an infor- nal discussion period in which the four candidates participated.

Waterbury's coffee thirsty resi- dents may soon have to pay 10 cents for 8 cup of the precious commod- ity in their favorite restaurant, ii plans started by restaurant opera tors in cooperation with the Con- necticut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Board of Trade go through More than 100 eating establishments of the city are expected to send representatives to a special meet ing called for tomorrow afternoon by the state unit to take action on the proposal.
 The announcement came before the first echoes of household moans due to empty coffee containers could subside and while housewives in large numbers were sending members of the family to the near est restaurant for that traditional American family breakfast.
 It is the unprecedented invasion of restaurants which has created a need for action, observers state. So many customers have taken advan- tage of the restaurant supply of cof- fee that a remedy is needed, &C., cording to local opinion.
 But as compensation for the Hrice boost the eateries are expect cd to offer heavier cream, even on a half-and-half basis.

 The brass rail at DiOriO's restaurant on Bank street on which have rested the feet of thousands of the city's patrons of the well-known eating place has answered the clarion call of the scrap metal drive.
 It will be scrapped this week, along with the restaurants brass cuspidors so that Uncle Sam can make more airpIanes, more bombs, more guns and tanks to lick the Axis powers. They are to be donated to the city'S scrap metal campaign now on in full force.
