helplessly by.
Gulick threw out his arm as he de-

Each succeeding revolution of the
wheels brought him closer and closer

screams grew more frantic.
His arm was crushed to the wrist

head was drawn in and his face and

Overcoming the paralysis of terror,
Mcdonald and his helpers shut off the
engine and stopped the thresher and
set to work to release Gulick, now un-

in between the disks that it required
half an hours work to dislodge his
mangled body.
He was still breathing when taken

Durango, Col-Mrs. Agnes Soulson,
a bride of 16, to escape her husband,
rode in the darkness over steep noun
tain trails along the edge of ravines
hundreds of feet deep, made daring
jumps across narrow ravines and
forded the Animas river half a dozen
times. She reached the home of her
parents in this city just half an hour
ahead OF her pursuing husband, and
fell into her mothers arms asking
protection, saying he had abused her
and that she could no longer live with
him.
Soulson, who had missed his wife an
hour after she left the ranch near
Chama. N. NJ. tried TO obtain an in
terview with her. but she was OBJ:
durate. Then, being told of his grief
over her departure, she finally con-
sented to talk with him. She then
agreed to return with him.
They started soon after breakfast
and rode steadily until noon. Then a
halt was made for dinner, when the
girl decided she had made mistake
in agreeing to go back, emphatically
declaring she had had enough of him
and more than enough of ranch life.
After vainly arguing for two hours
Soulson gave up and returned home

Two men. Fred Maigh and his brother,

Charley, who was with his brother

account of the latest occurrence. The

HARRISON AFTkR HIS
lUGWHK0 CASE FtE

The famous old Lucweiko claim
which caused a row between the last
Legislature and Governor Carter, and
which later on went through the
courts, is again n cause of trouble.
This time T. NJ. Harrison sues VIM.
Savidge, as administrator of the Luc-
weiko estate, and Land Commissioner
Pratt and Auditor Fisher for the pur-
pose of collecting an attorneys fee
for services rendered in connection
with the claim.
Lucweiko's claim originated when
the Territory condemned some of his
land at Moiliili in order to present
the Rapid Transit Co. with a right OF
way. This claim was included in u
bill before the last Legislature. This
bill passed. Carter vetoed 1t, but tho
veto was overridden. This did not
end the trouble, however, for Land
Commissioner Pratt refused to APP
prove of the claim, and mandamus
proceeding had to be brought, which
finally wound up in the Supreme
Court, which sustained the decision
rendered by the Circuit Court COM
polling Pratt to approve OF the claim.
Now the Government Is ready TO pay
the claim, but Savidge is not collect
ing just at present, as he fears that
the estate may be insolvent, in which
case he wants Harrison to take his
pro rata of the fee together with the
Ctner creditors, instead of getting his
share in full.
Harrison in his complaint tells the
long story of the vicissitudes of the
Lucweiko claim, and shows that he
was retained as an attorney by Luc-
weiko with the agreement that he
should get a fee of $3.50 when the
claim was pad. Later on, Lucweiko
borrowed S. from him and this, to-
gether with S25 of disbursements,
brings the Harrison claim up to $3.50.
Harrison states further that he Is
informed that the Land Commission
err will now approve of a receipt in
full for the $500, and that Auditor
Fisher will issue warrants for that
amount. He fears, however. that
the Lucweiko estate may not be solv-
ent, and that Savidge may refuse to
acknowledge his lien for $3.50, as he
threatens to convert the whole of the
$500 to the uses of the estate.
Harrison prays that Savidge be Or
dered to present for approval to the
Land Commissioner receipt in full
for the $500, and that the Auditor
issue warrants for the payment of the
Harrison claim. lie also prays that
temporary injunctions issue against
the Auditor to prevent him from pay
ing the $3.50 to Savidge, and against
Savidge to prevent him from collect
ing the same.
