Traveler Is Not Evangelist, but Well-Fnrsjo "Baby," Who Orig inally Resembled Mannikin. BILLIE SUNDAY is in town. This is not the Billy of evangel istic fame.

This Billie Is a lifeless, inanimate object, but perhaps as interesting as the other Billy. He may not be so terrifying for the evildoers, but his looks are enough to frighten any nerv ous person. The present visitor is a traveling "baby" of the Wells-Fargo Express force. He started out from Cornish. N. V., several months ago and has visited nearly every express office en route between that place and Portland. He is full of tags, labels and souvenirs of various sorts and bears numerous curious inscriptions of the places that he has visited Originally he resembled a manikin, but he has been battered and knocked about so much that he looks more like a! rag doll. He has an ugly red face with fierce black whiskers, but the vv ells-t argo boys regard him kindly and care for him as delicately as they would a real, live child. He will start again today on another leg of his trip back to his starting point. t RIFLE' TEAM TO BE SENT General Staff Decides Oregon to . Have Experts at Shoot.
