HOOSIERS IN THE WEST ALL DOING SPLENDIDLY.

Billy Blodgett Writes A boat Their But Says Alll Long for Banks of the Wabash* W. H. Blodgett, who is now in Los as fffor spec in i correspondent for the Jndianapolis News, in reporting the trial of the McNamara brothers/ accused of dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building,, sends the following article about “Hoosiers” back to his newspaper: .< Not only is Indiana interested in the trial of the McNamara brothers from a local point of view, but the entire west has many thanks to bestow on the Hoosier state, for Hoosiers have helped to make the west. Indiana brains, labor and capital are found everywhere west of the Mississippi river. I saw many Indianians who have made good and who have added to the life of the communities in which they reside “temporarily,” for let it be known that no matter how far from the banks of the Wabash the Hoosier may wander, his heart" is still with the folk back home. It is estimated there are more than twenty-five' thousand Indiana people in the western country and in many of the states there are large Indiana societies. This is particularly true in Denver, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Los Angele/ and other large cities. ' .. In Los Angeles there is an Indiana Society with more than five thousand members. Indiana goods are offered everywhere. Away out in the desert between Albuquerque and Los Angeles I saw the word Studebaker many times and on a signpost in front of an adobe village I read “Oliver Chilled Plows.” J saw goods made in Richmond, and other Indiana industrial centers. I saw Premier motor cars in San Bernardo and Mannons, Coles and Auburns at Needles, Ariz. There are scores of th£be cars in Los Angeles. In Kansas City I saw a car load of auItomobiles direct from Auburn, Ind., and away up in the mountains at Barstow, Cal., I saw a Nyberg car, made at Anderson, Ind. In many hardware stores I saw Atkins saws offered for sale. The west is expecting many hundreds of Indiana tourists this fall. It is a pleasant trip out here and you see many things that interest you, but you find no place that “has anything on” the good old Hoosier state. The day of the cowboy and the bad man are gone for the most part on the Pacific* coast Back Up in the mountains there is still plenty of large game. There are great herds of cattle and the “gun man” is still in evidence in the interior west but you see neither from the window of the Pullman. About the only specimens of the noble red man you see are a lot of “moochers” who : try to hold up tourists for trinkets. At. Navajo,, N. M., where our train stopped for a few minutes, I saw a cowboy. He had on “chaps,” a broad - white sombero pinched- to a peak and properly dented, a red handkerchief about his neck and a cigarette in his ’ fingers. But he gras not bowlegged like the theatre cowboys, and his handkerchief was looped at the back of the neck Instead of In front He appeared to be lonesome. “Waiting for a train?” I asked. “Yes, and it can’t come any too quick for me.” “Live far from here?” “A hell of .a long ways, stranger; and if I ever get back home I’ll stay there.” ' .

I looked at the ‘chape”—they were store made. Bvery trie cowboy wears bls handkerchief looped under his throat, and not back of his ears, and every true bowlegged from riding. This mournful youth was a counterfeit —the kind of cowboy you see at the Park theatre, in Indianapolie. And where do you think he belonged. He was a member of Buckskin Ben's Band, of Cambridge City, Ind. Our train Was only fourteen hours late when it arrived at Gallup, K If., and I went into a barber shop to get shaved. The barber studied me a minute and then grinned. "What are you doing away out here?” he asked, and I told him. His name is J. P. Peterson and he used to have the first chair in the Oliver hotel barber shop at South Bend. He said he left South Bend with 9800. took up a homestead, lost all bis money trying to farm and then returned to the rasor and lather. ‘When you see the boys beck home tel' them that when I make good here 1 am coming back tp see them," said Peterson. Hoosiers, Hoosiers everywhere. C. J. BoWes, former claim agent of the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines at Columbus, Ind., has a good railroad position at San Fran cisco. Albert N. Blessing, who used

Joe Long Pummeled Intrude In His Lafayette Hotel Room.

The following from the Lafayette Morning Journal is about our own Joe Long. When any one gets Into Joe’s room at night there Is going to be something doing and, Cronan will probably be extra cautious when he goes on a pilfering expedition again. The Journal says: ? J- ' , z Because he got Into the wrong room at the Dickerson boarding house, 500 North Fifth street, yesterday morning, Harry Cronan received a beating and is now in jail awaiting investigation on the charge of petit larceny. Joseph Long, a postal clerk on the Monon, who rooms at the Dickerson house, awoke early yesterday morning and found Cronan, who also rooms at the house, in his r<j£m. Long gave the intruder a pummeilng and Cronan got out. Long found his wallet on the floor and it was 40 cents short. ' Hp believes Cronan took the money. The police were notified and Cronan was arrested y bOfficer Ebersole on the north .side* of the square. Cronan has been employed in a restaurant here.

Parr Fight Saturday Was Not Advertised—Aggressor Fined.

John Lakin and Steve Brusnahan, of Union township, engaged in a mixup at Parr Saturday afternoon and Lakin, who is said to have been the aggressor, was fined $2 and costs by Squire Fay. The cost brought the expense up to $12.90. Lakin was then placed under a ;peace bond ,of S4OO. The bond had not been furnished up to Mokdily night, but Lakin was given freedom to try to secure the. bond. He and Steve have been a little. at outs for some time, it is said, nnd Saturday’s affray was not the first difficulty they have had. < ’

to practice law in Columbus, has a similar position in Montrose, Colo. Crockett Ricketts, a former Columbus, Ind., newspaper man, is owner and editor of a daily paper at Boulder, Colo., and John M. Pope, who used to set type bn the Columbus Republican, is now associate editor of the Daily Vanguard, at Venice, near Los Angeles. ’ * . j Simon Bamberger left Indianapolis a good many years ago with two bits in his pocket and landed in Salt Lake City. He has accumulated a million or more, has been a state senator a few times, and is principal owner of the Daly West Mining Company and other big producers in the state of Utah. Mr. Bamberger is the head of the Salt Lake coal trust and for his amusement between campaigns has built the first interurban railroad in Utah and controls the entire line. Frank Sefrlt, brother of Charley Sefrit, resigned his job as postmaster at Washington, Ind., and went to Salt Lake City to become managing editor of a paper' started there by Perr/ Heath, of Muncie.

Made Trip to South Dakota Looking For Long Lost Son.

S. R. Nichols returned Sunday from Gregory, S. Dak., where he had gone to look for his son, Orth Nichols, from whom he has not heard for several years. All effort he has made to locate Orth has failed. He went so far as to write to the Wlar Department in Washington to see if Orth had enlisted in the army, but learned that he had not done so. When last heard from, Orth was in South Dakota, and “Doc” thought’ that he would go there and see what he could find out. He learned nothing while there, but after coming away he met a man on the train who said that be knew Orth well and that he lived on adjoining farms. Her said that Orth had taken a claim and improved it and was getting along splendidly. It was a great relief to “Doc,” who'began to feel that something direful had happened to his son. Why he don’t write to his father is a mystery, but the supposition is that be did not want any one to know where he was until he had proved up his claim and then he would surprise them. While at Gregory “Doc” registered in the big Rosebud land drawing. “Generally debilitated for years. Had sick headaches, lacked ambition, was worn-out and all run-down. Burdock Blood Bitters made me a well woman.”—Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup. Conn.
