AFTER TWENTY-SIX YEARS
(By H. D. Johnson.)
(Continued from last week. ]

1 think the moment the weapon or just before the weapon was dis charged MT. Russ dropped to the floor which created the impression that man had been killed, and l venture to say that in less than two seconds a dozen shots were fired and every light extinguished. Fair ladies, with dresses short at both ends, screamed, and men were he lrd groaning, and after the shoot ing. when other lights were secured and order was restored it was found the tough who fired the first shot was dead on the floor. and that six bullets had entered his body, any one of which would have caused death.
 I then looked around to see my companions but none of them were to be found. The town marshal now put in his appearance and assisted in removing the corpse and the dance was resumed just the same as if nothing had happened. l. after a short ,ime,. returned to the tent and there found Mr. Russ, the general and the two railroad men all rolled up in their blankets and apparently asleep The next day it was reported f.that man had been accidently shot at a red light dance hall.
 l, at once, went to my blankets, but did not sleep very much until quite late. About four a m. was awakened by the growing of a rooster, something I hadn't heard for at least five months. and as 1 listened it seemed to say "breakfast ready" and it reminded me that 1 was the new cook and that four men would want breakfast soon And an hour later I had a small fire kindled from sage brush and bits of wood I had gathered the evening before, and as that rooster continued to crow l made my way over to the. .teLt. where the owner was also getting break and asked if l could purchase any eggs. was informed I could if I had the price, and said I had. which was an even dollar. The lady said could also have a pound of butter If so wished. which I was glad to get, as it had been several months since had smell of butter. Re turning to the tent with two dollars less in my .pockets I soon had breakfast ready, Consisting of toasted bread, with butter fried eggs, brook trout and venison and coffee. MT. Russ turned his two eggs over several times to make sure they were eggs, or if he was still asleep.
 As soon as breakfast was over the general had our supplies brought to the tent from the end of the track. He had secured a sad dle horse and a burro, and MT Russ secured two burros and the writer one, which gave us four burros and a horse, the general

using the horse to ride on while Mir: Russ and 1 were supposed to ride behind on shank ponies and hurry the loaded burros along. 1 bought second hand rifle, being unable to get a new one, which was a Sharp's, old style. 45 calibre, no grains of black powder, and which, later on, proved to be very good rifle.
 It took us all forenoon to get things in readiness to leave town. and after we had finished dinner we started back on the trail the writer and Mr.. Russ had come to town on, and. we never made stop until we reached the place where we had left the deer the day before we camped there that night, and the next morning at daylight we started, going almost due west and although we saw lots of game the general requested us to do no shooting, the reason learned later on, was that several small bands of Indians were located in the west Elk mountains. which we were to pass on our right the first and second day of our march.
 The third night from Gunnison we, however, done some shooting We@h camped near a small creek and as our supply of bread was nearly exhausted, and Mir. Russ and the general had rolled up in their blankets, the writer had a good warm fire and several loaves of bread ready to put in the tin baker which, when placed in front of the fire, would bake to perfec- tion, and I was rather enjoying myself to think what good bread I was going toshave the next day. and as the night was a beautiful one, being a bright, moonlight night and quite warm, and as 1 was about to place loaf of bread in the baker 1 heard that peculiar scream that sends the buck fever to a man and as the first screaha' died away it was re peated not more than a hundred yards from the tent, and I think my heart was giving some trip hammer strokes when I heard the general say to MT. Russ, Indians" Mr. Russ siid '-no." and soon both men were at my side with rifles ready to shoot. The generals horse came to the tent on gallop while the hurros were near the tent and made no signs of alarm. Mir Russ had gone several yards from the fire and 1 looked in the direction of the burr6s 1 saw dark object spring from a leaning tree and at the same time the rifle. of Mir Russ gave two reports and the body of mountain lion fell to the ground not more than six feet from my little burro.
 The general, however, had his eyes open and he raised his rifle and taking steady aim at the lean ing tree from which the lion had made his jump, discharged the weapon and we had the pleasure of seeing the other lion fall to the ground with broken back, and it required one more shot to kill him. We examined the lions and the general said they were the largest he ever saw. Both men returned to their sleep and after my bread baking was over 1 done the same. The next morning we. were on. the move and the general said we should reach Blue Creek before night, which was to be our hunting camp for several days. I think Blue Creek heads in the west of the Elk mountains and empties into the Gunnison river at, least

THE BRADLEY VERDICT.

(Crowded out last week.)
After a long and sleepless night
spent in tireless deliberation and de-
bate, the jury which had the fate of
Mrs. Annie Bradley in its hands, re-
turned verdict Of mot guilty" Tues
day morning. They had been out since
the middle of the afternoon on the pre-
ceding day The newspaper accounts
of the trial have attracted the atten-
ton Of the whole country, and the evil
dence developed that the case was
similar, very similar, in texture, to
the Thaw trial Of last year, which is
not as yet forgotten, or will 1t be for
some time to come. AS we say, the
case was similar to the Thaw trial
but yet, without one redeeming fea
ture. II anything it was more sordid
than the aforementioned case.
Mrs. Bradley was ON trial for her
life. She was accused Of having shot
to the death United States Senator
Arthur Brown of Utah In Washington
at the latter's apartments last Deem
Der, about year ago.
It, is said that the reading of the
verdict was greeted with applause by
