current that wheat will be wheat be-
fore spring. However, the man who
advises anyone to "holdyour wheat"

explorer Andree.

CORONER INVESTIGATES.
Finds Injuries on the Body Of Peter
ZydelI Which Show That He Was
Foully Dealt with.

The death of Peter Zydell was in
vestigated yesterday by Coroner S. p.
Longstreet with the result that jury
was empanelled to listen to whatever
testimony County Detective Leyshon
may secure. The appearance of the
mans body suggests foul play.
Zydell, it is known, was in the CEN
tral city Friday night and had imbibed
liquor freely. He returned to his
boarding house, No. 90 Brisbin Heights,
at a late hour, and was met at the
door by Mrs. Abram Young the board
ing mistress. He staggered in and
said: I'm nearly killed" Mrs. Young
paid little heed to the remark, think
ing that Zydell was regretting his
drunken condition. She chided him
about his habits. Zydel lay upon the
sofa in a downstairs room and Mrs.
Young left him there. During the night
she heard him coughing and moaning,
but she attributed this to the effects
of liquor and in the morning Zydell
was so i'll that he did not go to the
mines, where he was employed as a
miner. He went to bed instead.
Zydell was found dead at II O'Clock
Saturday morning. Coroner Longstreet
was VI TIC uSdtH ny
Undertaken ID. d. Jones, and yester-
day morning a jury was named and
an autopsy on the body performed
Scratches upon the face, blackened eye
and contusions on the body evidenced
foul play. The autopsy revealed in
juries to the abdomen, which, in Cor
oner Longstreet's opinion, caused
death
The effects of alcohol We're plainly
noticeable. No witnesses We're exam

was injured could be found. The jury
will meet next Monday evening at Cor

Newton, Deubler. Henry Geiss and

turned across the railroad track

turned across the railroad track
my stirrups, lifted the psund leather
flap Of the saddle and tucked the letters
underneath it, as far in as could force
them. 1t was desperate place in which
to hide them, but the game was a des-
perate one at best, and the very bold
ness Of the idea might be its best chance
of success.
Twas now heading for the station
over the ties and was surprised to see
Fred Cullen with Lord Rallies on the
tracks up by the special, for my mind
had been SO busy in the last hour that /
had forgotten that Fred was due. The
moment saw him l rode toward him,
pressing my pony for all he was worth.
My hope was that might get time to
give Fred the tip as to where the letters
were, but before l was within speaking
distance Baldwin came running out
from behind the station, and, seeing me,
turned, called back and gestioulated,
evidently to summon some cowboys to
head me off. Afraid to shout anything
which should convey the slightest clew
as to the whereabouts Of the letters, as
the next best thing pulled couple of
old section reports from my pocket, in
tending to ride up and run into my car,
for I knew that the papers in my hand
would be taken to be the wanted letters
and that if could only get inside the
car even for moment the suspicion
would be that l had been able to hide
them Unfortunately the plan was no
sooner thought Of than heard the
whistle Of a lariat, and before l could
guard myself the moose settled over my
head. I threw the papers toward Fred
and Lord Rallies, shouting, Glide
theml' Fred was quick as a flash, and,
grabbing them off the ground, sprang up
the steps Of my Car and ran inside, just
escaping bullet from my pursuers. I
tried to pull up my pony, for l did not
want to be jerked off, but was too late,
and the next moment Twas lying on the
ground in a pretty we'll shaken and
Jared condition, surrounded by lot Of
men.

CHAPTER XII.

THE LETTERS CHANGE HANDS AGAIN.
What seemed at the moment All in
comprehensive puzzle had, as we after
ward learned, q very simple explanation.
One Of the g. s. directors, Mr.. Bald
win, who had come in on Mr.. Camps
car, was tho owner Of a great cattle
ranch near Rock Butte. When the train
had been held at that station for few
minutes, Camp went to the conductor,
demanded the cause for the delay and
was shown my telegram. Seeing through
tho device, the party had at once gone
t. this ranch, where the owner, Bald
win, noapted them, and ii was their
dust clo-d we had seen as they rode up
to Ash Forks. To make matters more
serious, Baldwin had rounded up his
cowboys and brought than along with
him In order 70 make any resistance i'm
