had been born. he ordered his soldiers
to kill every child in the kingdom un-

way to rid the kingdom of a possible

encountered a body of soldiers, but
fooled the soldiers by hiding Mary
and the infant Jesus in a bush, which
quickly grew beside the road.

heavy at Centrache, Oivadi, San

Deaths at MonteIeene are said to be
many. That town was almost entirely

Charles Lafferty, better known ds
Chuck" Hayes, came to untimely ig-
norniny at the hands of one Northrop,
a man smaller by far than himself,
but as much nervier as he is smaller.
Lafferty a few days ago made it
known about Prescott that he was the
biggest man in that town. He was go
ing to kill several people and having
made himself obnoxious too long, Mar
shall Long and a deputy started out to
land him.
Standing in the middle of the street
the bold, bad man dared them to come
further. saying he would send them to
all the unmentionable places not con-
tanned in a dictionary if they dared
take a step his way.
While they were hesitating along
came a little fellow named Northrop.
He took in the situation at a glance
and asked the marshal if he really
wanted that fellow" The marshal
said he did.
