chairs on deck.
Getting excited is not going to help
us any," said Harvey, putting at his
cigar. 81 am as eager as you to rescue
the girls. The difference is that you,
without any plans, want to rush off
and probably involve us in greater
trouble, while l wish to plan out a
line of action. Now, that boat went

to get what information we can out Of

But. no. my brother" came Il voice
that seemed to Harvey to tremble with
emotion. 1t was a harsh. cold voice,
not like the other. You have done
well for yourself. You have done well
for the clans in the mountains. But
we have not Jared as we should. Was
it not our courage that made the accu-
mutation of this booty possible?'
"Yes; that is So" answered the first
speaker. but l am Palpak, chief of
the Zannucks, and it was who plan
ned everything. The wealth that came
from the ameer's people we We're COM
PEELED to hide here until the ameer's
soldiers had finished their search
among our villages, and the wealth
that came from the Buddhist temples,
which we found the most valuable of
all, and the gold that came from the
paymasters of the Russian soldiers
whom we attacked and robbed. All
these are mine-minei Do you under
stand, Domitan? 1t was Palpak, the
chief, who in the interest of all his
people, downtrodden as they are by
the wicked ameer, strove to gain that
with which we could buy horses and
cattle and make the Zannucks wealthy.
l have given you enough. The rest
must be divided among the people,"
NO" said a third voice, thick and
cultural. "Domitan is right, Palpak,
though you be chief. We were with
you in all the ventures. 1t is not right
that you should rob us now"
Rob your cried Palpak angrily.
Rob you of what? In the name of the
white bull, of what can | rob you when
you have nothing ave what | have
given you? | tell you ! am working
not for wealth for you, my brothers, but
for the whole people. The Zannucks
have been downtrodden and robbed by
the ameer. He demands more tribute
than we possess. He taxes us for u
wives, for u cattle, and then his sol
diers steal the cattle. He taxes us for
our families, and the soldiers steal u
children. Our boys are compelled to
enter the ameer's army, and our girls
curses upon the ameer and upon you
if you cannot see the justice of what
/ am doing. But the ameer has de-
sisted from his search. He has some
great affair now in progress. 1t is

"There are three of usi.' growled the
surly voice.

manded the one who called himself
Palpak.
The three laughed. 1--WE intend to-
you will see what we intend"
Harvey began to catch the drift of
things.
"This," he reasoned, lis what is pop.
ularly called honor among thieves.
Here's a band of four who have been
successful in gathering treasure by
robbing everything and everybody to
enrich a people kept down by that mis-
cradle wretch of an ameer. And now
the only decent one, if there is such a
thing as decency among them, is to be
killed so that the other three car keep

of Biartelkis. Where have you hidden
her? The s~earchlight of the gunboat
revealed the hayboat, but she is not
there. Where have you hidden herr"
"Now, captain" said Harvey, don't
be too hasty in this matter. l did not
steal Koura Biartelkis, but l know
where she is"
You knowl OF course you know!
But you lie when you say you did not
steal her. You came down the Kur in
a hayboat belonging to the Astrakhan

"If you do, l assure you that you will

"See, he admits he has the girl He

is harmedl" shouted one of the soldiers.
Something in the words and manner
of Harvey impelled Orskoff to lower
his sword. He turned to the soldiers
who were guarding the four robbers
and said:
Take them on board the gunboat.
1t is evident that they have robbed
Russians, for here are bags of rubles.
They must be taken at once to Tifis.
Convey all the treasure on board"
Turning again to Harvey, his face re-
suming its expression of hate, he said:
You know that l love Koura, and to
rescue her l am willing to parley with
you. l had determined to kill you on
sight. Come with me-"
Harvey followed his captor to the
entrance of the cave. Here he found
a guard of additional soldiers with Ian
terms. In the distance a brilliant
s~earchlight aent it's CLEAN upon the is
land, lighting it as by day. In the
great light from the gunboat Harvey
could see hat the old hayboat had
stuck in the mud near the island. At
a little distance was a sailing vessel,
evidently the property of Palpak and
his robber brothers. On the shore were
two boats. which had landed the Rus
slams.
The five prisoners were jostled rude
ly while getting into the boats and at a
command from Orskoff We're soon on
the way to the waiting gunboat. They
were received on board by a young Of
1cer, who saiuted Orskoff.
Il congratulate you, my captain. I
am told by the men that you not only
captured the American who stole the
daughter of Biartelkis, but that you also
had the good fortune to seize the four
robbers who attacked the paymaster
and robbed him at Mogda."
Are you sure these are the men?'
81 could not be mistaken. The leader
is Palpak, chief of the tribe of Fan

ameer, but hating him."

"Shall we get under way at once, my
captain?'
No, lieutenant. As you know, we

HANLON BEGINS
TO BOX AGAIN
Dons the Gloves With Toby
Irwin and Shows Up Well
in a Fast Practice Bout
WILL MAKE WEIGHT
Nelson Continues to Work
Hard, Though He Is Now
Ready to Enter the Ring

Weight is not worrying Eddie Han
Ion or his trainer. Frank Mcdonald.
When the little boxer jumped upon the
scales yesterday he tipped the bar at
132 pounds, two pounds above the notch
at which he has agreed TO weigh in for
Battling" Nelson. With nine DAYS
still remaining to dispose of the sur
plus avoirdupois the next opponent of
the slashing Scandinavian can take
matters easy and be at the required
mark when the weighing in time ar
rives.
Eddie was permitted to pull on the
gloves yesterday for the first time in
a week, and he and Toby Irwin gave
and took punches for three rounds.
Trainer Mcdonald directed the boxing
and at the end of every period saw
that the mitt wielders rested for the
full minute. Hanlon did not use his
crouch, but stood up straight and dis
played improved rapidity and clever
ness with both hands. He pummeIed
the bag for six rounds, twisted the
wrist machine for six minutes and
hurled the n edIcine sphere for ten min
C1es.
When Hanlon went out on the road
for his usual morning spin yesterday
he was acc mranied by Trainer Nc
Donald and Irwin. The trio walked
and spurted for six miles, and Eddie's
chief handler found no fault with his
method OF exercising on the highways.
TJ-day Fanlcn will spar with Fred
Landers and will go into action n his
crouching position. Landers is abOu-
the same size as Battling Nelson,
and Hanlon plans to practice on him as
# he were his next opponent.
'Eattling" Nelson continues to train
hard and faithfully at Larkspur and al
the present time the Chicago lad 10 lks
to be ready for the clang of the gong
He did his usual turns yesterday AMI
among the aIrny of visitors at the trai1-
ing quarters none were more interested
than several young women who jour
neyed all the way from this city 20 see
how Nelson worked out.
He is GCipE lot of boxing and leads
his ST airing partners a merry life. All
of them are more or less battered up
and each is wishing that training days
were over. Nelson can make the weight
almost any time now and from ap-
pearanccs ne will be stronger and in
better cCncibop generally than when
he faced Martin Canole.

BARRY HOOKS
FOLEY ON JAW
Fast Fight Ends During the
Seventh Round, When Both
Men Try Game of Mixing
DEFEATED MAN CLEVER
0utpOints Opponent in the
Early Stages of Battle,
but Fails to Go the Pace

LOS ANGELES, July 19.-Boxing
was resumed in Los Angeles tonight
after an interval Of eight months.
Dave Barry knocked out Harry Foley
in the seventh round of what was to
be a twentv-round go. Both men are
from San Francisco and furnished the
chief attraction Of a very interesting
show.
Foley showed to good advantage In
the first few rounds, being able to
punch Barry almost at will and avoid
returns. He cut Barry about the face
in the fourth and fifth rounds and had
his man groggy at the close of the
fourth. In the sixth Foley attempted
to exchange blows with Barry and in
the slugging that followed he was
foored twice and was saved by the
gong.
The seventh round had progressed
but minute and a half when Barry
caught Foley a left hook on the point
Of the jaw as they broke from a clinch
and the latter went down and out.
Jim Trimble knocked out Tom Cos
tello in the fourth round and Frank
Fields disposed of Pat Meany in two
rounds. There was a large attendance.
The fight was managed by the Century

RIOTOUS TOWN

Much Excitement Prevails
as the Limit for Land
Registration Is Approached

BONESTEEL, S. D., July 19.-Gov-
with relative to sending troops to
BonesteeI to, preserve order. 1t is not
believed, however, that the Governor
will act, as the time for registration
ends next Saturday and troops could
hardly reach here much before that
time.
There were S40O registrations to-day.
The line is two blocks long tonight.
Much excitement was caused during
the day by a number of men, who un-
dertook to take possession of the stars
and guns of the special police who
have been put on duty by the town Of
ficials. The men were mostly conces-
sionaires, who occupy places on street
corners. They claim that they have
paid high prices for their privileges
and were not being permitted to oper-
ate their places.
Marshall McDermott tried to stop a
game and was pounced upon and his
gun taken from him. He was badly
beaten and kicked into unconscious
ness, and a number of other policemen
received like treatment.
and the registration tomorrow will be
increased.
At Fairfax, twenty miles from here,
where is located another registration
office, the numbers were less and regis
tration proceeded without trouble.
Three trains carrying 5000 persons are
expected to arrive Wednesday morn
ing.
YANKTON, S. D.. July 19.-Seven
thousand people registered for Rose
bud land at Yankton to-day and the
rush tomorrow will be still greater.
The total registration at Yankton
alone is now over 10000 and will reach
so, 900 before closing on Saturday
Forty-six clerks are employed. The
lines of people in waiting to-day were
at times six blocks long. Men are
making a business of going into line
and selling out when near the door for
$5. $40 and even $25.

NEW YORK. July 19.-Police In
spectOr Brooks and forty detectives
went to Brighton Beach race track
this afternoon and blocked all racing
news sent over the Western Union
wires by the fling of scores of mes
sages after each race. Between
o'clock and 4 o'clock the police filed
400 kilograms and sent a similar num-
Der Of telephone messag ges. The pool
room men were frantic over this ac-
ton and what little news they re-
ceived had to be sent from outside
wire sources and was very late. The
service for newspapers was also de-
layed.
Inspector Brooks declined to ex-
plain this action, but some Of the de-
tectives were more talkative. They
said that complaint had been made
that commercial kilograms were being
sidetracked by the Western Union in
favor of racing messages. No one but
the pOolroOms had a chance at the
race track telegraph Office. it was said.
A test case was being made. explained

was in the complaint.

Milk Bills May Come High.

The Dairymens Association will
submit amendments tc the proposed
ordinance affecting the milk trade at
the Supervisors meeting next Monday
afternoon. At a meeting of the men,
bers of the association it was held that
the restriction and rules proposed by
the ordinance would necessitate the
raising of the price of milk from 10 to
20 cents quart. John d. DAILY, who
presided, held that the proposed ordi-
nance would be the means of causing
great expense to the dairymen who,
while willing TO improve the quality
of the milk supply, cannot submit to
rules that would be disastrous to them
from a business standpoint.
