Why a Bird Killer Put Up His Gun.

One of our best practical farmers
related to US the other day how ne
came to change his mind about KILL
ing birds. He said he formerly took
a great deal of pleasure with his gun
and dogs. About six months a1ter
coming to the territory he told MS
wife he would go out and Kill re"
quail. It was about 4 O'CLOCK SO
calling his dogs he started out on MS
own farm.
He soon shot three quail, and his
wife knowing that If he got thoroughly
interested in the pursuit Of game ne
would be out till long after supper
time, persuaded him to come back 10
the house and they would have sup
per. when he could 60 again. "All
right" said the farmer; Il Will dress
these and We'll have them for sup
per-" His wife remarked on the full-
ness of the craws Of the birds, and
on opening one it was found packed
full of chinch bugs! Out OF curiosity
they counted and found over 1our
hundred dead chinch bugs In the era"
of one quail!
Said the farmer in relating the cir
cumstance to US: Il just cleaneu uP
the gun and have not shot olro
since. and II you'll come down to my
place of a morning or evening ano see
the birds coming to my farm youh
think they knew their friends. s.'-hen-
merry (Okla.) Clipper.

lected to so through yore present trial,
an I've wondered many an many a
time why mine was put on me. The
whole world thinks l don't bother
about it, but few folks know about the
vermin that's gnawin' at the secret
souls of their neighbors. Why, my
own wife don't know my feelin's. II
reckon she thinks I'm as happy as the
average man. That's the trouble with
jest-jest that sort Of a thing. 1t hain't
what folks will dare mention to the
person concerned, an somehow he
never kin bring it up. said I'd never
had 1t mentioned to me, but did
about five year ago. I'd been maxim
a sort of Il pet Of u little, yaller haired
child stoppin' at the Johnston house
with her MA fer the summer, an one
day, settin' up thar in the office, l tuck
'er on my knee. She sorter squirmed
off, an when | asked 'er what was the
matter she said shed heard I'd killed
man. 1t set me back so that didn't
detain 'er. an she looked scared ever
time passed whar she was at. Huh!
Talk about trouble, George, yore'n
hain't a circumstance! I had jest got
married, an everything looked bright.
1t was at an election. The feller
was friend O mine, but few years
younger. We was on opposite sides
an had sharp words. The lie was
passed. an then we come together.
Some O. the crowd parted US, but was
a ragin' demon. was drinkin' man
then-that is, took dram occasion
ally-an' l got full an went home fer
q revolver. Then set out to find I'm.
1t was about 10 o'clock at night when
I run acrost i'm at u livery stable, a
old shack at t'other end O. the town.
He was in the back end with Hank
Williams, the man that run it. an l
heard i'm tellin' Hank good night an
seed i'm a-comin'. didn't know what
was a-doin'-as God Is my judge,
didn't. 1 hated i'm with the hate Of
hell, an I wanted-I wanted i'm out
Of the way. drawed as he come
nigh, an think I cussed i'm. re-
member he was again right at me
scared-scared mighty nigh out O his
senses. He raised his hans sorter,
like a body will to ward off anything,
but the revolver was aimed right, an
cooked an easy on trigger, an it went
off,"
Hillyer paused. His hands were fold
ed one in the other, and both were
quivering. George Buckley was star
ing at him with bewildered fixity, his
long, slender hand stayed in his heavy
hair.
"I'm sorter scared at the sound O. my
own voice." said Hillyer. "It's like
somebody else was a-tellin' about 1t.
I hain't even whispered 1t to myself.
An in all my prayers In regard to 1t l

a-comin', an when he seed me an the

little cry an started to break an run,
but th'owed the revolver down an

while he went an eXamined-the body.
I couldn't tetch it. Then he come back

Hillyer leaned forward, his face In
his hands. and groaned.
"Then. George, I'll be obliged to
speak of something that has not passed
my lips in thirty years, but maybe It is
best fer me to do it, considerin' every
thing. Set down. I kin talk better If
you won't stand so close an look at
me so straight. You've had yore trou-
BILE, an ef you have the heart I think
you have you'll be sorry fer me, an me

George Buckley threw himself into
the chair at the table. There was q
pause. A train passed on the track
within twenty yards Of the rear door
Of the warehouse, and the floor shook.
A pistol shot was heard, followed by
the yelping Of wounded dog at the
other end of the street. The town slept.

strange husky voice, you are now

the old man gulped-"did you ever

raised.

he Idea Of treasure on that island.
Dunbar made one more appeal to his
aunt to save the enormous sum she
was prepared to squander on the enter
prise, but she was obdurate.
The treasure is there, and you are
going after IT, and IL you attempt to
cheat me of single penny of my share
I'll fight you through every court.
Don't imagine that because I'm seven
ty-four years old I've got to be fool"
The brig reached the Madeiras and
Deserta isle in due time and came to
anchor at the point marked X on the
chart. The searching party found the
spot marked on the chart with an
anchor, among the trees at the foot of
rocks, 500 feet from the beach The
captain and Dunbar were still skep-
teal, however, and chatted of the
strange whims of old sailors. while
two of their men commenced to dig.
Suddenly a wild whoop from the men
brought them to their feet, and their
pipes We're fairly knocked from their
mouths by surprise.
AT a depth Of four feet the men had
come upon a great chest, bound with
iron. In ii was exactly $1000,000, in
gold and silver coins of all nations and
dates, packed in the oldest ways. Ii
was too large for pirate treasure, and
there was no record of shipwreck to
account for its presence in this God
forsaken spot. The boxes were IN
marked and had lain in the earth SC
long that the wood was tender as
| paper. The treasure had evidently
been buried hundred years or more.
When Dunbar reached home the
treasure was duly divided with his
aunt. who was as happy in the triumph
of her convictions as in the possession
| of her newly acquired wealth. The
sailors, however, could not keep such 6
tale, and the sensational find got into
the papers, all sorts of wild rumors
being published. The Portuguese gov
eminent tried to put up claim for the
treasure but failed.
Look here, Earl" said his aunt
when the Doodle had been safely in
vested, you don't know enough II
| doctor sick cat. Take down that sigI
of yours, and come down with me an(
| play country gentleman. One fee Of
! $500OO0 ought to satisfy you, and Il
you'n marry some pretty. sensible CIR
and live decently on the old famil.
place. I'll leave you as much more"
So it happened that Earl Dunbar re
tired from Il brief and inglorous medi
cal career Later on, When the prett.
gill had come to preside over the OH
family mansion. and he had SETTLED
down to happy, placid life OF ;
gentleman farmer, he would say:

The Coconino sun., 1904-12-10
important Decision.

The case of Coconino county against E. B. Perrin has been decided in favor of the defendant. In the case the county sought to collect taxes on land conveyed to the government by Dr. Perrin, the land being forest reserve land. The county claimed that al- though the land had been deeded to the government Dr. Perrin should still pay taxes until such a time as lieu lands were taken by him. The other large land owners of forest reserve land were in the same position as Dr. Perrin. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court of the territory.
