utlellu, MOHl., MuISu o.-topCNihi w
the ARGUs-The seventh legislative
assembly has about run its course,
for under the provisions Of the con-
stitution it must expire at midnight
next Thursday. 1t will he midnight
by the clock when the gavei falls for
the last time, but it may be long
after midnight by the watches OF the
Legislators and the throng which will
doubtless assemble, for legislative
bodies have habits in this direction
which have been approved by long
usage.
The feature of the week past has
been the fight put up 10y the Helnze
faction against the passage of senate
bill No. 81, known as the biased Judge
bill. That this bill is good measure
is the belief OF great majority of
the members of both houses, as well
as Of the lobby and the people OF the
state 80 far az their opinions have
been expressed, but that it will be a
death blow to Heinze's manipulation
Of justice In Silver Bow county Is also
generally conceded. The bill, as 1t
was introduced in the senate, pro-
vided that bias on the part OF aiudge
debarrrd him from sitting at the trial
Of a civil case, the law already pro-
viding that bias prohibited his try
ing a criminal case. The bill proyid-
ed that this bias as grounds for a
change Of venue must be made ia the
clerk of the court before the trial ID
the case and must be supported by
competent affidavit, and upon the
courts refusal to grant change Of
venue on these grounds appeal could
be taken to the supreme court and
the change Of venue ordered II, upon
a hearing, the supreme court should
sustain the allegations. 1t passed
the senate very quickly, notwith-
standing MacGinness, HeinZes repre-
sentative, was on the floor strongly
opposing 1t. As amended by the
house the bill places safeguards about
the subject matter so that the priv
ilege may not be ahlsed, aud also
provides that not more than one
change of venue can he granted,
thereby preventing the litigant from
alleging bias several times and not
only delaying the trial Of the case in
definitely, butforcing the OTHER party
tn the action to run from one court
to another all around the state. 1t

TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Storm Does Frightful Work In the
Vicinity of Naper, Neb.
Ono Fa mily of Seven kiIled-In Another
Family Two Are Killed and the Balance.
Except the Father. Are Fa-
tally Injured.

Omaha, Neb., June 22.-Special dis
patches to the World-Heral6 from
Naper, Neb., coming via Stuart, Neb.,
because of disruption of communion
tions, tell of the frightful work of q
tornado which visited that vicinity
Thursday night, the details being OBJ
tainable only late yesterday evening.
The following ssries of dispatches
have so far been received:
One of the most destructive lorna
does to human life that ever occurred
in Nebraska crossed down the Keya
Paha river Thursday evening at six
o'clock. The river is south of here
five miles, and only meager reports
are obtainable. One family Of seven
the Greening-are all killed and
out of another family of six-the An
derson-two are killed and the bal
ance, except the father, are fatally
injured. No other casualties are an
yet reported.
Six hours before the storm the sun
was shining. The storm cloud ap-
peared about five o'clock and Travelled
down the Keya Paha river. 1t seemed
to rise up and skip some houses and
then swoop down and demolish every
thing. 1t was preceded by severe
hailstorm. Stones fell that measured
ten inches in circumference. The
hotel at Naper furnished ice cream
frozen from the hail. Everything in
the track of the storm was destroyed.
Trees were blown down and the
smaller ones were stripped of leaves,
and barbed wire fences were carried
600 yards. The furniture that was in
the homes of the Anderson and
Greetings cannot be found. A trunk
and pieces of the table were picked
up half mile away.

light. There were half dozen in each
pocket, and each one was q foot In
length. They would make enough
noise to stampede whole tribe of
Indians, let alone 400 or 500 half-wild
horses.
We were off in n twinkling. We
knew of an old buffalo and cattle trail
a half-mile distant, leading up to the
head of Black Rock, and round the
slopes of several mountains into the
north gap of Two-owe-tee. This trail
we took.
"WeIl plant ourselves in front OF
that herd in the gap" said Ferd, land
there we'll have our celebration. be-
lieve we can counter stampede run
'em over that crowd and get away in
the dust and racket"
The very probable event Of fight
against odds, however, kept us feeling
pretty sober. We clattered along the
cutoff at hard galiop. without ex-
changing many remarks.
We rode on for more than an hour,
passing up out of Black Rock and over
a mountain ridge. Then we heard q
clatter of hoofs at our heels, and
turned to face Florence. Her pony
was sweating, her face was flushed
and beseeching, as She pulled up con-

snorting, in front Of us. Then we light
ed our crackers and flung them-eight
or ten--one after the other. Florence
took her part in the cannonade, throw
ing her crackers as far as she could
toward the horses.
For half a minute the canyon roared
and reverberated with an astounding
racket. This thunder and smoke flung
the leading horses back upon their fell
lows until all were punched like flock
of scared sheep.
Then we rode at them, each Of us
flinging a final cracker upon their
heels, and all of us yelling like crazy
Bannocks at a frolic. In no time we
had them 'going-just hitting the
wind" in the widest kind Of a "coun-
ter-stampede." We followed, aware at
first Of the active operations OF
rustlers in our front. The swerving
lines of horses told us plainly enough
where they were. The dust and con-
fusion prevented our seeing anything
more than half dozen yards distant.
BY great good luck, we came togeth-
er in crossing a curve of the creek-bed.
We rode at the tail of the herd until
assured that the frightened horses
would run as long as they were able
that our stampede could not be coun-
tered for an hour or more. We knew,
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1901-06-29

from the time which had elapsed. that
the rustlers, not fearing immediate
pursuit, had saved wind and speed for
q long chase.
And now we turned back, determined
to take our stand in the mouth of the
cut and guard the pass until the stock
men should begin to come in from
Lander. 1t was only through the gap
of Two-owe-tee that the rustlers could
hope to runs stock off our range.
Dust hung heavily in the gap, and in
order to dodge the rustlers, if possible,
we rode back down the creek channel
which held only here and there pools
of water.
But luck turned against MS just as
we had reached point nearly opposite
the mouth of the cut. While riding
across a fat where the ditch was ex-
tremely shallow, we sighted four
horsemen scouting cautiously, evil
IDENTIFY trying to discover the cause of
the tremendous racket which had
turned the stock. They might easily
have thought that miners were at work
blasting rock somewhere near-doubt-
less they had come to some such con-
clusion.
But they saw us before we could get
to cover. They were between us and
the mouth of the cut, and they wheeled
in an ugly fashion, holding their
Winchesters alta "ready." We slipped
out of our saddles and got behind our
ponies.
The fellows were suspicious of a
larger force close at hand, or they
would doubtless have. charged us at
once. They looked about rather
anXiously, scanning the creek banks
above and below.
AS the dust had cleared somewhat,
we could see their faces quite plainly.
They were not more than so OF go yards
away. Three of them were dressed as
cowboys and looked like ordinary line
riders. The fourth, and apparently
the leader, wore blue wooden shirt
and stiff hat. He had a dropping
black mustache and long hair.
Presently the four got in line and
began moving slowly towardus. They
evidently wanted to make sure of US
at the first fire.
Halt where you are or somebody'n
get hurt!" shouted Ferd. The rustlers
glanced at each other. Two Of them
grinned wickedly. They came on with
out pausing.
Scared as / was, 1 was rar more
frightened in behalf of those reckless
men than on my own account. II they
could have known how quick and GER

would have kept their distance. KNEW

covering the leader.
'.Halt, there, I tell youl" he called
again, and in a tone that would have
stopped any but the most desperate of
men. The men fingered their Winches

fight. Then In q breath and. out Of the

fronting us. AS the trail was plain
one, she had had no difficulty in fol-
lowing.
81 can't stay behind" she M
nounced, breathlessly. Il should die
of fright. l don't believe those men
will fight when they see girl along"
So that was her reason for coming!
We looked at each other in dismay
and some disgust. But she was a girl
of IL, a capable horsewoman and of q
determined spirit. We could not COM
pei her to stay behind.
"Well," said Ferd, "when we get to
business you'll have to stay where we
put You, or wen tie you up!"
Then we hit" the trail again, and
Florence followed. / looked back to
see that she was crying, although she
rode bravely, and was truly sorry for
her.
In the course of three hours of hard
riding we came out of sharp cut into
the canyon of Two-owe-tee. A brief
examination convinced us that we
should find no better point at which
to make break in the herd and turn
them back upon the rlstlers. The gap
of Two-owe-tee was here some 200
yards in width, with inaccessible
sleeps on either hand.
We rather counted on q fight, and
Ferd planned for it like general. He
even consented that Florence should
take a part in cannonading the herd,
whereat she at once became calm
and superior person. She agreed to
keep close in to the mouth of the cut,
after we should get the herd going,
and in certain length of time to take
her fight back over the trail by which
we had come.
Even when we told her we should
fight, pointing out from height the
high banks of dry run where we
should make our stand when we had
run the herd over the rustlers, she APP
proved the plan.
"You can stand them off easily!" she
declared. Their bullets can't hit you
in there, and If they charge you can
stampede them with crackers"
We rather thought so ourselves. We
then ate a bit of dinner and rested,
listening meanwhile for the tramp OF
the herd. 1t was nearly four o'clock
when we heard the rumble of their
hoofs and sighted their trail of dust
up the canyon.
We quickly took our places. Florence
stood just outside the mouth Of the
cut, with several giant crackers and
some matches in hand. She was lit
tie pale, but cool and collected, and
showed no sign of fear.
Ferd and / sat our ponies on either
side the creek-bed and waited, must
admit, in state of considerable ex-
citement. We had no fear for our
seats, however, as our ponies were
gun-broken to firing from the saddle,
and would not shy even at cannon
shots. They were, in fact, accustomed
to the crack of dynamite and black
powder, used in breaking rock and
splitting logs near our house.
The foremost horses of the herd
were soon close at hand. 0fcourse the
dust they raised completely hid us
from view of the rustlers in their rear.
They were coming at q free trot on
each side of the creek channel. We
waited until the leaders had halted
