Truth Stranger Than Fiction

Hard pressed for money, the broker has appropriated funds of the firm, and dreads his partner's discovery of the deed. He tries in vain to borrow money, and determines to end his life after writing a confession. In the act of placing a pistol to his head, he is interrupted by a message informing him that oil has been discovered in the vicinity of his land, and the loan he requested will now be made. His one thought is to destroy the letter he left on his partner's desk. Entering the office by night, he is attacked by two robbers, who snatch the letter and leave him wounded. Fleeing from the police, the crooks enter the home of a novelist, who has procured a burglar's kit as a preliminary step to his investigation of the underworld. The kit establishes him as one of their order, and they invite him to their lair. At the home of the broker, whose daughter he loves, he overhears the two crooks and their female accomplice blackmailing his friend on the strength of the incriminating letter. He rushes to their den, secures the letter and, after a battle with the crooks, who are captured by the police, delivers the missive to his future father-in-law.

Women of the West

While due credit must be given to those women who have, by their wisdom, counsel and support made our domestic conditions what they are to-day, the wonderful prosperity of the United States as a whole is due to the extraordinary resources of the west, and therefore the places of honor in the niches of history rightfully belong to the women who so nobly assisted in settling and populating the great west. Stop and reflect what fortitude those women showed in venturing into the unknown wilderness, what heroism they displayed, surrounded by hostile Indians, and sacrificing their lives to eventually benefit all mankind. History is replete with the many instances of those acts, but mere words can but poorly represent to the mind the details of the exact incidents. To be able to view the actual occurrence cannot but indelibly impress upon the mind what we really owe these women pioneers. To see the simple life of these people, their sports, pleasures and hardships, and how, when the men folk are attending a country election, the red men take advantage of the situation and pillage and burn their homes. But better still to visually observe how these women, reared to danger, bravely protected their lives and property and also the wild rides of some of the women to warn their neighbors and bring the men to their rescue.
