wheedling whisper. and returning to her
shelf she filled a second glass. Weymouth
observed that 1t was fuller than the first,
and accepted it amably. The cross-grain-
ed creature had meant to pay him a pretty
compliment in pouring him her best grog,
and he thanked her civi!ly. with proper
toast to her good fortune, as he raised the
glass to his lips.

she could see him, and with his hand COW

away with queer sigh. Rogers had shut

stretching loops and tangles, humping and
swinging like pendulum against the stone
walls until he came to the ground
1t was breathless beginning of a most
uncertain journey, yet while Weymouth
sat for a moment on the narrow ledge of
rocky ground the freedom and freshness
Of the winter night seemed sweet enough,
after the damp and chill of the room he
had left. Such Is human nature, the alter
nate prey of fear and careless pleasure.
Weymouth could hear no footsteps, he
could see but dimly the steep road above
still, and looked perilous as he started to
find his way down. Even man who Is
bold at heart feels all the instincts of
steatthinees when he la hunted man, the
prey instead Of the pursuer. At this in
slant there came faint sound from the
roadway close by. There was something
moving There was the least sound like
hiss. and then one pebble was tapped
against another as he still crept down.

of wind caught the light net and swished
it to and fro against the house. He fiat
tened himself against the ground and
clutched the sod with his fingers, then he
dropped one foot slowly over the edge to
find the shelf below. The burden of the
wallet hindered him SO that he longed to
get rid of it. Suddenly he heard an eager
whisper:
This way! Come this way! Weymouth"
The dim shape showed itself palmer now

life."
She started of instantly down the hill
toward the water and he followed. They
were running on turf. not gravel. and made
no sound. AS he ran by her side she push

An Arboreal Land Owner.

There is a tree at Athens. Ca, which is a
property holder. In the early part of the
century the land on which it stands was
owned by Col w. H. Jackson, who took
delight in. watching its growth. In his old
age the tree had reached magnificent pro-
portions, and the thought of it's being de-
stroyed was so repugnant that he recorded
a deed conveying to 1t all the land within
a radius of eight feet of its base.

SHOT DEAD.
Mustache Charley, a Piute Indian, Per-
forated With Winchester by
Another Indian.

The Indian wickiup in the vicinity of the
smelter below town, was the scene of a
rather cold blooded killing last Friday night.
Mustache Charley, Piute, who has been
around town here for number of years,
and is well known, was shot dead by bob"
another Indian, a Shoshone, with Win.
chester rife.
The shooting occurred about midnight.
From what can be learned, both were under
the influence of liquor, Bob less so than
Charley at the time of the shooting though
in the afternoon Bob was seen very drunk
up town. During Friday evening at the
wickiup the two Indians quarreled and
Charley at one time chased Bob around with
an open knife. Later Bob went to his
teepee after his gun and Charley ran off and
hid Shortly he came back and stood in the
brush near his teepee looking toward that
OF Bob. distant some seventy five feet.
Bob appears to have got his rifle and returned
to within thirty feet to the left of Charley's
teepee and there hid behind cedar tree or
bush, and while Charley stood as above
mentioned, outlined against the sky he fired,
the bullet striking his victim in the side in
the region of the heart. Charley fell and
was dead when his squaw reached him.
Bob Immediately left camp and the other
Indians not knowing what to expect, came
up town. Four squaws went to the house
of A. 5. Thompson, entered by the
kitchen door, which had been accidentally
left unlocked. and frightened the whole
family out of sound sleep with the news.
Bob is ordinarily quiet and does not
often drink. Charley's friends are enrsged
over the killing and are said to have sent to
White Pine for re-enforcements aud say
they will hunt the murderer down.
