Reports From Riparia Says Hartman
Crowd Have Attained Their OBJ

RIPARIA, Wash. June 1.-Quickly
following the service on the o. r. & N.
of the restraining order secured by
the Northern Pacific the company has
scattered the force of 800 men
placed at work on the sidetrack con-
struction below the bridge. The men
had been assembled from several
points of the line and some Of them
have been sent up the river on the
lewiston Riparia line work. The fact
that the forces have been scattered
has led to the belief here that the O..
r. & n. laid sufficient track to salts
fly its object before the restraining or
dr. was served, and that the company
is now willing to settle the issue in the
courts,

Ludlow glowered at the cherries
heaps Of rocks that guarded either
bank Of the river.
1T is cold enough he said, ''for the
river to be frozen. Just my luck to

Bismarck. old boy. see nothing for 1t

And I'll be fine sight to Gretchen aft

whether she'll care or notT'
Ludlow rose and began to tramp up
the river. 1T Is a bad idea to move
away from the ford" he thought, "but
I'll go up a way and see If the river
isn't narrower. It's too deep now to
strike quicksand."
He picked his way carefully over the
rocks. Indian river was always cold
and always swift, but doubly so today,
after the early winter rains. The day
was bleak, with half promise of snow
in the air. The plains on the far side
of the river were as dim and hopeless
as the sky. AS he paused at a point
where there seemed promise Of shelv-

Kywak. Come on. old faithful!'
He removed his shoes and tied them
about his neck by the laces and walked
down the bank into the rushing water.

step forward and plunged in above his
depth.
After the first shock the cold was not
SO bad. But the current! The down
ward swirling movement Of the water
was almost as powerful as quicksand.
The pointed rock Ludlow had chosen
for swimming mark was dozen rods
upstream before he had swan as many
strokes. Bismarck was swimming be-
side him, putting and blowing like an
infant thrashing machine. For mo-
ment Ludlow thought Of catching the
dogs collar, but decided that they both
might go down, though Bismarck could
have pulled him across easily In quiet |
water.
The bitter cold Of the water began to |

Alfred Lilliqafst, a homesteadel

while Bismarck had pulled quickly
short distance from the shore.
Finally. after what seemed hours Of
swimming, he found himself a rod
from the shore. where Bismarck barked
at him excitedly. But, to his chagrin,
though he dropped his feet several
times, he could not touch bottom even
at three feet from the bank. And the
bank! Up and down the river, as far
as he could see, it rose sheer and blank
as tiny canyon, with not blade of
grass nor crevice for hand or foot
hold. How Bismarck had made the leap
he could not fathom.
He turned on his back, hoping that
the current would hold him against the
wall while he felt for hand hold. But
his fingers only slipped over the rough
sandstone. while the river carried him
rapidly downstream, and Bismarck fol-
lowed. barking and whining. The weight
of his clothes and the cold were by this
time rendering him almost helpless.

He tried cautiously to walk along the
bank. but found that his foothold was
q foot In diameter.
He dropped his bruised, bleeding
hands in despair. Bismarck pushed his
great head over the edge and whined
piteously. with an eager light in his
brown eyes that seemed to say: Cant
you understand? Can't you?"
Ludlow gave a great spring and
caught the dogs collar with his right
hand. Instantly Bismarck braced his
mighty shoulders and pulled back.
Inch by inch the man was pulled from
the water until he grasped the top of
the bank. AS he let the dogs collar go
