The above statistics are not alto
gether accurate, for in some cases no
member Of tie family was found at
home and only partial information
could be obtained from the neighbors.
Au effort was pu forth to find the ex-
nc number of people at each home,
rooming-house and hotel. though no
account was "a zen OF the railroad men
who lod in their cabooses while here.
1t muy be the population is more than
the number given, but if SO, the can

given include the japanese, though
since taking the census several more
Japanese have come 10 the town and
not a few changes have taken place in
the going and coming Of families.
Under church preference it is seen
we have 10 denominations represented
in the town. It is impossible for Us to
have as many Plantations and church
buildings. Furthermore, denominations
are only the names of different parts OF
Gods great army, the same as the right
and left wings denote the different paris
of governmental armies No one d.
nomination is the whole church, but al
are parts Of one great whole How
much better, therefore, if in a town OF
this size we all work together and build
up and strengthen the chur hes already
here. 1t is seen that there are over
100 people aside from those holding
membership in the Catholic and Con
gregalional churches, who by training
or mem bership, have been in connec-
tion with some church and it would be
"A great help if We would all remain true

A Very Interesting Compilation of Facts About
LeaVenWOrth.
LESS THAN NINE HUNDRED POPULATION
No Similar Statement of Facts on Record From
Which to Make Comparisons. Town Has Suf-
fered Great Loss From Fires.

The following statistical information
relating to the town of Leavenworlh
was gathered within the past two
months and will be found unusually in
teresting. The population ofour town
does not appear to be so large as was
believed. For some time it has always
been put at the round number OF
thousand. Perhaps some other towns
that are making similar claims would
show less population under careful
enumeration.
For future reference these statistics

Who is the doctor?"

 There was not little feeling mani fested in Darrels voice as he an- swered:
 You have done a good deal for me and I appreciate it. You do not think killed Sturgis?"
 "I haven't stopped to think very much about it. It would be no more than a natural supposition after that row in HawkbilIs-that row on my account"
 Well, I'm innocent of murder, but circumstances have got a grip on me and I shall avail myself of the means of escape which you offer I cant take your horse, though. That would throw suspicion on you.
 How will you get out of the conn try?"
 With any kind of a start you C4a trust me for that Go back thrcueh the tunnel. take your horse away and get to your lodging place. am much obliged to you for the interest you have taken in me. Some time l shall hope to repay you"
 'I am already repaid. But I think you should take the horse.

 "You won't be long in eoming?"
 Not long"
 "Good-by then, and good luck to you Your word that you did not kill Sturgis is enough for me"
 Thank you Good-by and don t forget that promise.
 God knows I have cause to remem- Der it" came back in husky whisper
 Darrel listened while the young man lowered himself into the tunnel and retreated beyond earshot in the direc- ton of the creek. Then, taking a note book and pencil from his pocket, Dar- rel wrote few lines, his pencil point groping over the small page in the dark.

 The stranger thanked Gryce for his offer and climbed up on the seat. At a word from the driver the bronchos plunged away at their usual break neck speed
 The War Eagle trail, west of the Half Way house, threaded very rough section of country With clear head, firm nerves and steady drivers the way was sufficiently dangerous, but with Gryce in his half-tipsy condition, the bronchos charging pell-mell and the boxes of giant powder leaping around in the rear of the wagon the risk might have been denominated extra hazardous.
 Whoa, consarn vel" yelled Gryce, saving at the reins. Dynamite, we're the wust internal trouble-maker ever hitched ter a polei An ye're sawed off'n the same piece, Terror. Drat 'em! They'll have us sky-rocketin' be- 1Ol ' Nt htlON " uoN . otl Ai1N hos

 Bear down on 'em. friend!" shouted the old man. making frantic attempts to keep himself in the wagon. They've taken the bits in their teeth an we'll go up like a couple O shootin' stars if ye cant hold em in. ;"
 A clatter of galloping hoofs could be heard behind. broken now and again by distant shout The stranger threw look over his shoulders and, instead of holding the horses in, leaned for ward with loosened reins and urged them on.
 Directly ahead the trail made a sharp turn around a shoulder of rock At the present rate of speed il looked very much as though the earecning wagon would be thrown from its wheels in taking the bend.

 Gryce was interrupted by one of the cattlemen grouped in front of the ho- tel. waiting for the Chinese cook to sound the dinner gong. The under foreman was we'll known and. in spite of his many infirmities, universally like By way of greeting, the cattle man pleasantly drew a revolver and cut t-e air with bullet not half a dozea eet from the old mans ear.

DARREI. S ESCAPE.

DARRELL ESCAPE.
 Eponay creek skirted the confines of Sandy Bar The left bank was a fla reach of sand which gave the camp it's name; but the right bank on which the settlement had been built, was high and bIuff-like and "goph ered' with tunnels.
 The bar was rich in placer gold. When the sand had been cradled over prospecting for quartz dykes began and many a "stringer' had been followed inward from the face of the right bank.
 The striugers had pinched out. The south bank. however. had not been abandoned as worthless until fairly heneyeombed with drifts that led to nothing but country rock
 Thus it followed that the camp had under fl a sort of catacombs wherein lay buried q thousand hopes of disap- pointed miners To this fact, as will be seen, Nate Darrel owed his life
 The Sandy Bar jail was a log struet- ure that had outliyed it's usefulness as a miners cabin. It was situated not more than 50 feet from the brink of the steep. brush-eovered bank of the Eponay
 In the single room of this makeshift jail Darrel and the marshal presently found themselves, a tallow dip" splut- tering feebly on the table. Outside the mob could be heard scurrying about in ominous silence.
 They're worked up to beat four of a kind" :" muttered the marshal. listen ing to the sounds from without, but

 T fired that one shot a good many miles from Sandy Bar" said Darrel.
 Stick to 1t" grinned the marshal; :; 'it's your only hope and it's slim enough
 When will you hold the inquest?"
 "To-morrow morning. And here's something you can spread your blank cts and go to sleep on, my friend. Escape aint to be thought of.

 He went out and Darrel heard him rattling the paddock that secured the door. For some time afterward there were sounds suggesting that sentries were being posted about the building and after that silence
 Darrels thoughts were not of the brightest and he cleared his mind o1 them and surveyed the interior of his prison. Every opening that had once served as a window was covered with

WHEN HE STAGGERED TO Ills FEET AND LOOKED BACK THE NOUN TAIN WAGON HAD DISAPPEARED. AS IF BY MAGIC.
 With grinding teeth and hands con yulsiyely gripping the seat. Uncle Alb abandoned himself 10 wild profanity. Around the curve raced the b7onchos, the inner wheels of the wagon scraping the rocks and the outer wheels whirring in the air
 The seat was lifted from the wagon and east to the outer side of the trail, the old man going with it. Darrel saved himself for few moments by dropping to his knees and, with a quick move ment, winding the lines across his palms.
 Then 200 feet from the spot where the under foreman had fallen and was lying unconscious. the bronchos swerYed slightly. In a moment the forward wheels struck a powder. a crash followed, the team broke away from the wagon and the stranger was jerked over the dashboard and hauled hundred yards along the rough trail before he could disentangle his hands from the reins
 As he lay, bruised and dazed. in the roadway. the frenzied team vanished in the distance, a roar as from a hun dred cannons came from behind him. The very hills seemed shaken to their foundations, lurid glare flashed sky ward and the sun was darkened with cloud of rocks, dust and debris.
