driven to such desperate straits that
they decided to cast lots to determine
which of the four should be slain that
his body might supply food to his
famished companions. Three long
straws and one short were cut and each
man took one of the straws. The poor
fellow who drew the short straw was
Immediately shot and eaten. A little
later second one was thus disposed of,
and, finally, Lee and his one remaining
companion, learning in some secret
manner that their lives were still in
danger, decided to flee across the Grand
canyon and there seek refuge among
some of the Indian tribes with which
they were more or less familiar.
Lee, after many difficulties, succeed
ed in getting out of the Grand canyon
and, striking an old Moki trail, reached
Cataract creek. This he crossed, and
on finding a suitable place camped here
where he remained for some time.
From the oldest son of Kohot, the late
chief of the Yava Supais, l learned
that he was eventually found by MEM
bers of the tribe, but was half crazed
for want of food and water. They
blindfolded him and led him down a Sc
cret trail to their village in the heart
of Cataract canyon. Here he stayed for
two years, or at least while two crops
were harvested. He taught the Supais
improved methods of irrigation and
showed them how to make powder and
bullets. In side canyon Immediately

Robots son tells me that when the
second crop had been gathered from
their fields, Lee traded his rifle to him
for pony and saddle and took his de-
parture under the guidance of friend
ly Supai who led him over the intricate
mazes of the Coconino forest and across

WHEN TO CUT Hay.
" Rsie Can ne Laid Down That wight
Kst lie Subject 10 Important
MOdfncatfons.

As a general proposition IL is best
to cut hay just as IL is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifica-
lions according as we want the hay for
feeding dairy cows, horses or other
stock. For horses it is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one of his books
says that zone strong objection that
works against the early cutting of hay
is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
of animals that feed upon il. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for working horses. All newly
made hay has laxative and loosening
effect upon animals. Such hay cannot
be sold to the keeper of livery stable.
because, as he would say, he has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are of the opinion that this
laxative quality of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through
process of sweating, which occurs in
the NOW. No matter how dry the hay
is at the time it is put in the barn, it
is held that it will always sweat some
what in the NOW. BY October the
process is completed, so that the hay
is fit for use, provided it was ripe
enough when mown. But in the case
of hay made from young grass, as
rowen, for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay is
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept at work, since it is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable to
stumble"
Such is the opinion of Storer. How
far it is borne out in the experience of
western farmers is rather difficult to
