Vha Worshiped Bill Hart Turns to Society Drama After Holdup In Elevator. James M. Cunningham, veteran barber at the Union station, was an admirer of the western drama. He spent his evenings in movie palaces, clutching the arm of his chair while Bill Hart made fully a dozen 'bad men look foolish, and Tom Mix, on his trusty steed, round ed up enough desperadoes to start a revolution in Mexico. He was sure the clink of spurs, tnc rattle of horses hoofs, and the explosion of a Colts .45 would be music to his ears, and he didn't hesi tate t(j tell his companions of his ambition to eventually live "out in God's country where a man was a man." He is Held Up. All of which has been written in the past tense, for Mr. Cunningham is no longer an advocate of the wild and wooly. He lost all interest in gun play and- chaps at exactly 9:13 yesterday morning. Mr. Cunningham entered the s!3 ion, elevator to descend to his shop. He surveyed the other occupant of the elevator with frank interest, for the said occupant wore a broad brimmed felt hat, boots and some thing mder his coat which bulged into a shape suspiciously like that of a Colt's .45. - Then he noticed the other man was surveying him with equal, if not greater, interest. "Put up yer hands, you slicker," growled the western nun in an en tirely unpleasant voice. Though' Him a Thief. "Ver the guy that got my roll up1 on Farnani street," the unpleas ant westerner continued. "Thought would never meet me again, didn't yu?" Passengers in the station rose and craned their nrcks in unison as Mr Cuningham. his arms aloft, stepped trom the lift, followed by the Colt's 45 and the determined westerner Patrolman Brown, on duty at the station, looked at the Colts, hesi tated, and then advanced. "This here's my affair, officer," grated the westerner. "This lrd got my roll at Sixteenth and Far nani streets last night. I know him. When tie hands me $150 pecos he's free. If he doesn't well " j Society Plays Now. I "I I was at home all last night," Cunningham asserted shakily. "Yon know I'm not a pickpocket, Brown," lie added appealingly. "Maybe I'm wrong," growled the westerner, "hut this here guy look like the one." He replaced the Colt and glared at Cunningham. "If ' thought he was" he began, but M i Cunningham was retreating rapidly "I'm going in for society plaj i from now on," admitted Mr. Cm; r.ingham, when he recovered hi. voice a short time later. i South Dakota Ranchers to Ask Extension df Kail Lin Belle Fourche, S.
