company is the second largest of the

and G 81. the others ranging between
twenty and thirty. AS mentioned a
day or two ago in a dispatch to the
Republican, Sergeant Chris Sigala OF
this place carried off the honors and
the gold medal in the shoot Tuesday
morning. That evening at parade and
before the entire regiment Sergeant
Sigala was called from his company by
Colonel McClintock, who in a few and
appropriate words presented the medal.
1 1t is beauty and Mr.. Sigala has been
the recipient Of much praise on all
hands since his record of Tuesday
morning. Sigala Is different from
other shooters in the regiment. 1t will
be noticed in yesterdays correspond
ence from Camp Brodie that others of
those who competed in this shoot
/ had made higher scores at other times.
/ Those, however, were what is known
as phenomenal scores and such shoot
ers as a rule are not to he depended up
on. For instance tho man who led the
a
score of 122 fell some 10 or more points
lower the next day. Sigala is steady
and reliable During one string in the
contest his finger slipped and he shot
before he intended to, thus making a
miss He had two more shots at that
range and in order for him to make a
showing he saw that it would be
necessary for him to do something with
those two remaining shots. He did so
and made two straight bulls eyes.
His place on the team is an assured
fact and it is quite probable that c
Company will have more representa-
tives in the big shoot than any other
company. Lieutenant Woolf has also
been slated for the contest and there
are a number of others who are doing
some good work and who stand an
excellent show for making the team.

A LOST MEXICAN.

About ten days ago Alex. Soto. who
had for n long time been an employee
of the Fraser ranch. in the Supersti-
ton mountains. disappeared. He start
ed on horseback, saying nothing to
any one where he was going. The
men supposed he was on a short err
rand, and even after he had been away
two or three days, supposed that he
had gone to Mesa. as he formerly
lived here and had made several trips
to the valley. When he did not return
for week, they sent word to Mesa.
1t was then learned that Soto had not
been here. AS soon as possible a
searching party was formed and the
men are now out looking for the miss
ing man. The horse is also missing,
which gives rise to the theory that the
man was not lost on the desert. II
anything should have happened to the
man, the horse would probably have
returned to the range. A thorough
search Of the country between this
town and the ranch will be made.
There are fifteen men in the searching
party. and nearly all of them are
thoroughly familiar with the country.

A SENSATIONAL CASE.

On Wednesday, John III. Dobson
swore out a warrant for the arrest Of
James Baker, charging him with
! threatening to kill, threatening to de-
stroy property and to do injury to the
person Of Mr.. Dobson. The warrant
was served by Constable NJ. c. Phelps,
who had quite a chase for his man,
I finally getting him south of Tempe.
The prisoner was brought to Mesa
Wednesday night and placed in jail.
\ His hearing was set for two o'clock
yesterday, but when II was called an
/ important witness for the defense was
absent, and on motion of the prisoner
the case went over until ten o'clock
this morning. The story OF the trou-
BILE as told by some of the witnesses.
out of court, is that Baker had been
working for Mr.. Dobson on the thresh-
er. His services being no longer need
/ ed. Mr.. Dobson called him in and gave
him a check for what was due him.
He asked Dobson why he was fired.
! The latter replied because he did not
want him any longer. Baker looked at
his employer a moment, and said: I've
notion 10 kill you now" He left the
place, came to Mesa. filled up on
, DOOze. then returned 10 DODSon rancn
and. to several parties, it is said.
threatened to destroy the thresher and
to kill Mr.. Dobson. Hence the war
rant for his arrest. A friend of the
prisoner, who has known him long
time says that Baker is a generous
hearted man. and good friend at
times, but as he put it. They've got
the wrong charge. The man is half
crazy. He would give me the last
cent he had if l asked for it, and in
two hours would beat my head off IL
l did something to offend him. 9th
ers, who know Baker. say that they
think he is mot altogether right in his
head" There will be a big crowd at
the court room this morning to hear
the case. Baker says he will act as his
own attorney.

In the Dukes Absence.

In the Dukes Absence.
GEN valentine.
A day had passed since
visconti had ridden so
wildly TO the western gate, and as yet
he had not returned.
The soldiers. weary and wounded,
had reeled that night into the palace
eourtyards, De Lana at their head,
expecting to find Yisconti there before
tnem. They had missed him in the wild
fray-the Germans had been driven
back from the walls without their pris-
oners-had not the duke returned?
Neither then nor yet, near a day
after the sortie. Doubtless he. victo-
rious ss ever. was reconnoitering some
stronghold of the enemy, or their en-
campments outside Milan
StilI. in the palace some were getting
anxious; there was no word, no mes
sage. Who. in the dukes absence,
ruled Milan2
The question suggested itself among
others to Valentine Nisconti-
She put il to herself
I rule Milan, and ] will give myself
my freedom by it. whether Clan be
alive or dead, returning now or never"
had formed her plan: with courage and
skill she made no doubt of success.
To enter her brothers private room was
the first step.
Ar day valentine had plotted some
means OF accomplishing this.
The rooms were locked. and Clan
wore the key around his neck.
The Visconti palace was part old.
aarr new: the great circular tower in
1vrich Isotta was confined. the low
laeavv stone buildings that surrounded
IL were the only remaining portions
OF the ancient Gothic castle.
The new building. bright in yellow
and pink tiles. was supported on low.
eorSeshoe arches, and gave straightly
on the courtyard in front and the gar
dens Al the rear-tlle whole encircled
by great wall.
Detached from the palace. standing
alone i'm the grounds. was a high,
square brick tower. the highest build
inc in Milan, and from the summit
there Boated night and day the banner
Of the Viper.
Along the second story of the palace

md pleasant walk. paved with black
and white stone. looking on the garden

ings.

Valentine laughed.
And who. think you. was my second
woman, then, lord? Isotta q Este? Nay,
I will satisfy you"
Indeed, lady" began De Lana has
tily, but Valentine cut him short.
Come here, Costanza."
The girl came forward.
Now hold the torch higher. Adrian"
laughed Valentine.
The light fell on Costanza's face
rs that Isotta d Este, Giannotto?"
she asked.
May" smiled the secretary.
Now. Giuletta, come hither thou"
said Valentine.
The other lady stepped forward and
threw back her hood.
Now. my lord, Giannotto shall sat-
isfy you-is this Isotta d'Este?"
The secretary did not finch.
MY lord" he said. you must know
Della Scalas wife well enough, if by
hearsay only. Look yourself. This
is not She
They moved on again. De Lana un-
easily convinced.
Ma fol- said the silent D'Orleans
suddenly. 1T is growing very damp.
These Italian nights are most un-
healthy" And so they passed into the
palace
That night light tap was heard by
Giannotto. sitting in his room, and
Adrian entered and put two emerald
earrings and bag of ducats on the
table.
For the lapse of memory he whis-
pered,. and went as softly and as
swiftly as he had come.

continued. "She sleeps. I will return

still stood on the steps in the shadow
Come said Valentine suddenly.
Much as / am relieved to see my
brothers hostage in such security, this
is gloomy dark-come. Costanza.''
The two ladies moved forward. one

and fro her face.

The two ladies had Joined the few
others left by the outer door. the SOL
der kept his eyes upon the one who
wept.
Valentine was talking gayly to Dor
leans, and led the way across the gar
den. "On your life / charge you to
guard the prisoner she said to the
captain and the soldiers. she means
more to the duke than his own life
almost-more most certainly than any
other" she added meaningly.
De Lana, watching keenly. still kept

upon that second lady, who puzzled
him, and with a soldiers indiscretiou
he whispered his fears to Giannotto.
My Lady Valentine said the secre-
tary smiling, my lord here thinks you

came out with two.''
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-23

n LAYING succeeded so far. valen-
II tine had little fear; it was now
an almost easy matter for her
to accomplish the remainder
of her plan.
She had the palace keys in her pos
session. and they unlocked secret
doors. and more than one hidden entry
and private way. entries and ways she
knew well. and yet otherwise could
not haze used.
Soon after that dawn that saw Car
rara fall by the wayside. Isotta d Este
and Valentine slipped from the palace;
aided by Costanza. and joined by
Adrian in the long gallery. they passed
through winding passages to the old
other entrance almost beneath the
walls themselves.
Valentine wore pages suit, her
upper lip darkened, a heavy cloak,
with a hood such as was worn in
travelling, drawn about her, and by her
side viscontPs dagger.
Despite her anxiety. her passionate
desire to frustrate her brothers tyr
amy, her wild eagerneSS to be free
and outside Milan. Valentine almost
enjoyed the part that she was playing;
she swaggered more than Adrian. and
looked with some scorn on the weak
ness of Mastinos wife, who wept with
her happiness.
The thought of CLANS rage and dis
6omfiture was very sweet to Valentine,
almost as sweet as the thought OF Con-
rad in Della ScaIa's camp3 and the
happy life of freedom coming.
Rapidly they traversed the narrow
street that led to the gate, Valentine
erect and joyful. with deeper happi-
ness, but faint and bewildered from her
long imprisonment, nervous and fearful
OF every sound.
Behind them strode Adrian, with
eager eyes and swelling heart-the
Lady Valentine had smiled on hini
But the lady's thoughts were not on
the page With every step TO freedom.
Count Conrad's blue eyes and merry
laugh rose before her the more clearly.
and she remembered that last time she
had essayed escape, and he had nea-
given her. for all he knew, his life. He
was in DeHa Scala's camp.
But, hasten as she might. Isotta
dragged her on yet faster Her eager
