The giant sent the bah to one OF his

Dear Sir: A good many people
will see your house in the course OF
the next ten years. We want it tc
show what Devoe Ready Paint will
do. We should like you to paint it.
and then not paint it again for ten
years-unless it needs repainting.
We'd like such sample as that in
every town in the country-With 2
notice about it in the town paper:
"Mr. Gays house was painted ten
years ago with Devoe Ready Paint,
and has never been repainted. The
color is not so bright as it was; but
the paint is as perfect a coat as ever
to keep out water"
A good lead and oil job is expected
to last three years; it is a good one
that lasts three years; it generally
does not Deyoe Ready Paint lasts
twice as long, if not
IF you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting I;
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell
your dealer about it."

right at our expense"
We want your house as a sample,
and you as a witness.

er and told him that the lady she
was working for had left the house
and would not be back until next
day. Taylor compelled the girl to
go to her home In Evans but he re-
manned in the city until Sunday to
see Mrs Myers. He went to her on
the Sabbath and asked If the girl
had been staying there or had her
clothes at the house and received a
negative reply to both questions.
Mrs Myers thought there was just
some little family friction and differ
ence and did not dream the man
would use violence WITH the girl as
he threatened to do. After asking
several times about her working and
her clothes he said he would put the
girl in the cellar and would beat her
and kill her If he could. Mrs. Myers
demonstrated ana tried to reason
with the man. She told him that
Mamie was a good girl and that she
had done nothing to merit such pun
ishment. Taylor turned away from
the house and Mrs. Myers said tina:
the fiendish and british look and the
wrath depicted upon the mans face
frightened her and she realized that
he would do something terrible if the
girl did not keep out Of his way. The
girl was compelled to go to her home
in Evans because there was no other
place where she could secure shelter.
The father found her there when he
returned.
Help Needed.
The Taylor family is in destitute
condition and some of the people OF
Evans, knowing of the sore distress
that existed and the needs of inme-
date assistance, started subscrip-
ton list this morning that was met
with pleasure and a hearty response
by large number of the miners am
citizens of the town.
There is a terrible feeling in the
town Of Evans against the man and
if ne were to be seen in the place
to-day he would be strung up or shot
down on the slightest ceremony. The
people hung about town Monday
evening for long time after the Oh
ficers had taken the. prisoner to oska-
1oosa. They talked of the affair ana
seemed loath to dispense without
having avenged the wrong that had
been done.
The condition of the girls to-day IS
said to be not serious unless there
be some complications taat are not
now looked for The mother last
night was in quite serious condi-
ton on account of the affair but is
reported better to-day.

Mr. Gerbrich states that the primer

be done on Stacey creek, I distance
OF four miles, the remainder of the
road being we'll travelled. BY this
route the distance would be about 26
miles, over road that can be trav

also connect with the Jeffreys grade
to Middle Valley, and roads to the
northern part of the county. Also
connect with the road from Mineral
to Iron Mountain.
The value OF such road to Weiser,
