Lloyd Purdin, Of the Wenas, met with

Reed and Miss Hathaway were visiting
at the residence OF Matt Stanton, up the
Ahtanum. Their conveyance was left at
the rack in the lane in front of the resi-
dence. Mr. and Mrs. Miller came along
presently, intending to stop at the same
place. Just as they were driving up to
the fence cowboy came along with a
pack-horse. As the pack-horse neared
Mr.. Miller's buggy the pack came un-
