my stout friend had restrained and
who had done this other murder Just
to bring an avenging posse down on
Jack In a humor that would render
inquiries few and explanations use
less.
Bill Morgan brought the word. It
geemed a strange unbending of the
outlaws spirit. Perhaps his own wild,
hunted life led him to pity in his I'M
couth way a victim run to earth with
out warning, or possibly he had some
personal memories to be avenged Any
way he told us just before daybreak of
the cowardly crime that had been fas-
tened so Enthusiastically and SO unjustly
upon Jack and of the furious pursuers
close upon our trail.
Before us were the mountains. grim
and full of dangers for the stranger
fugitive, but to this score of relentless

half her leading citizens-the mayor

daughter-would have sworn to Jacks
presence at a banquet given in our
honor at the very time the murder
was committed miles away. But be-
tween our camp and vindication rode
a relentless, uninquiring foe with a
single purpose-and a halter. The out
look was gloomy enough for Door

nected with the crime. That. too. was

A STATUE OF LINCOLN
Presented to the Mineral Point
High School by the Members
of the Junior Glass.

On last Friday afternoon the clos
ing hour was taken by the members of
the Junior Glass, who gave a very in
teresting program consisting OF brief
addresses, recitations, etc. The
school earnestly entered into the spir-
it of the occasion. Each number was
heartily applauded. The program
closed with the presentation to the
High School by the Junior Class of a
statue of Lincoln. The presentation
address was made in weIl-chosen
words by Guy Harwick, and the statue
was unveiled by Miss Mabel Hutchins.
Superintendent j. F. Bergen accepted
the statue on behalf of the school and
briefly spoke of the virtues of the i'm
mortal Lincoln which are summed up
in the one word, honestly. The statue
is fine one and will be appropriately
placed in the High school room.

A GREAT WORK
A Portion of the Hill ON the East
Side of the Oxide Plant Re-
moved to Make Way for
Railway Tracks.
ONE THOUSAND FEET OF WALL
All Material for the Plant to he
Unloaded from the New
Tracks.
THE WORK TO CONTINUE.

Mineral Pointers do not have to go
away from home TO see how railroads
are built in the mountains. Within
the city limits there is fine example
of such engineering.
The work of eXcavating for tracks
of the Mineral Point and Northern, to
run on the east side of the oxide plant,
was begun early last spring aud has
been carried forward ever since. A
steam shovel was kept at work for sew
eral weeks along the sand bluff APP
preaching the plant from the south;
and the material taken out was hauled
in train loads along the track of the
Mineral Point and Northern from
Highland Junction west, for ballasting
the roadbed. For the last three
months the work of excavating, build
ing walls, and grading for the new
tracks has been under the supervision
of j. II. Land, of Monroe, aud during
this time thirty men and from twelve
to fifteen teams have been constantly
employed, Just east of the oxide
plant was the hill of limestone, and
this has been quarried back about
twenty feet. Over one thousand feet
of stone wall has been built, the aver
age height of which is about fourteen
feet. The tracks will be at an eleva-
tion of thirty-iive feet from the land
on which the kilns and new buildings
of the oxide plant are to be erected
In order to reach the upper grade two
tracks are to be built to the bridge
across the stream above Buffers dam,
from which point trains will be run to
the plant The work that has been
done indicates the extensive additions
