CHAPTER Xxx (continued).


GAIL l saw was the crowd blocking
the doorway. ltnew they had caught
me lying on Slavin, with my hand
grasping the knife-hilt, and, somehow,
couldn't think of anything just then
but how to get out of there into the
open. I've seen vigilantes turn loose
before, and knew what was likely to
happen!"
"Sure. Recognize anybody in that
first bunch?"
big Jim, the bartender, was the
only one l knew; he had bung-start-
er in his hand"
Mason nodded thoughtfully, his
mouth puckered. "It's him, and half
a dozen other fellers Of the same
stripe, who are kickin' up all this fra
cas-. The most of 'em are yonder
now, an if it wusn't fer leavin' pris-
oner unprotected, darn me If I wudn't
like to mosey right down thar an

bunch O. cattle. Thet's bout the only
thing ye kin do fer plum fool, so
long as the law won't let ye kill

I'm really sorry that you got mixed
up in this, Buck" said Hampton,
''for itlooks to me about nine chances
out of ten against either of us getting
away. from here unhurt."
"Oh, don't know. It's bin my ex-
perience thet there's alters chances if
you only keep yer eyes skinned. If
we kin only manage. to hold 'em back
till after dark we maybe might creep
away through the bush to take hand
in this little game. Anyhow, it's up
to us to play it out to the limit. Bless
my eyes, If those lads amt a-comin'
up right now!"
A half-dozen men were starting to
climb the hillside, following dim
trail through the tangled underbrush.
Mason stepped up to the ore dump
where he could see better, and watch
ed their movements closely.
"Hi, there!" he called, his voice
harsh and strident you fellers are
not invited to this picnic, an there'll
be somethin' doin' II you push along
any higher"
The little bunch halted instantly
Just without the edge of the heavy
timber, turning their faces up toward
the speaker. ~

one, taking single step ahead Of the
others, and following his hand as a
trumpet to speak through, ut don't

come long ahead of the others just
on purpose to give you fair show to
pull out of it afore the real trouble

''Is thet so?"
The. little marshal was too far away
for them to perceive how his teeth
set beneath the bristly mustache.
"You bet! The boys don't consider

.JAPS TO MAKE
China APOLOGIZE
Japs Tell China to BEG Pardon or
Fight it Out.

Toxic, Feb. 29.--The Japanese
government is maintaining a deter
mined attitude concerning the seiz-
ure of the Tatsu Maru and demands
both an apology and on indemnity
from China.
The Cinese foreign Office wants to
submit the entire question to a mixed
court. This is refused by the Japa-
nese government unless the vessel
has first been released and an apol-
ogy made for an insult to the flag.
1t appears that the Tatsu was reg
ularly cleared from Kobe with a con-
signment of arms and ammunition
for Macao. The Portuguese minister
at Peking supports the contention OF
Viscount Hayashi, the Japanese min
lister of foreign affairs, that the Ees-
sci was seized within Portuguese
waters. 1t is believed here among
officials that the Chinese will finally
yield to the demands of Japan.
1t is said by the japanese foreign
Office that no ultimatum mas been is
sued and that the sailing of the Ja-
panese cruiser Idzumi for Hongkong
Is not intended as athreat.
1t is quite evident, however, that
the Japanese will resort to force un-
less their demands are conceded
within a reasonable time.

Berne, Switzerland, March An
avalanche descended today near the
village of COpenstein. The enor-
nous atmospheric pressure which ac-
companied it demolished a hotel at
the mouth of the Letscheuthal tun-
mel, killing 13 persons and injuring
10 others. The occupants of the ho-
tel, numbering 80, were surprised
while seated at this table by sinister
rumblings. Almost Immediately two
children rushed into the dining-room
and screamed ''An avalanche. An
avalanchei" There was a rush to es-
cape, but the building which was of
\ temporary nature, collapsed with
out warning. Both of the children
were killed, along with many OF
those who sought to escape. Among
the others killed was an America

CAUGHT ANYBODY GRATING
YET

Wenatchee, better late than never,
must realize that it, too, is the scene
of graft conducted on a scale that
would better fit San Francisco in the
days of Ruef or New York in the
time of Tweed. The methods used,
however, differ from those used by
the other masters of the art, and
up to the present there have been no
Indictments
Some of the biggest grafters are
Stark Nursery, c. F. Keiser and Hay
den and other nurseries.
A representative of the Daily
World was shown through the
rooms, leased from the Cannery,
where about twenty-five people were
busily engaged grating the different
scions into young seedlings.
Rooms have been leased from the
Wenatchee Cannery Co. because af-
ter grating the young trees are put
into cold storage and lie dormant I'M

THE REPUBLIC
Gets RECEIVER
The Court Appoints w. E. Trimble
to Captaincy of the Journalistic
Shipwreck.

The Republic Press of Wenatchee,
long on the verge of collapse thror gh
mismanagement, was this morning
placed in the hands of receiver.
| The action was the result of an ap-
plication made yesterday afternoon
before Judge Steiner by the First
National Bank of Wenatchee, the
largest creditor of the shipwrecke ed
corporation. Judge Steiner this
morning granted the order, and on
! the recommendation of Reeves G
/ Reeves, attorneys for the creditors,
appointed w E. Trimble, for the
past two years editor of the Repub-
lie, to the receivership.
/ The paper was started in 1897 by
A. S. Lindsay and later purchased by
Leonard Fowler. Mr.. Fowler and
his associates incorporated the plant
and began journalistic campaign
that was as spectacular as it was
brief. Presses, machinery and sup
plies of all kinds were purchased at
frequent and short intervals, but on
credit-alWays on credit

persons to whom currency means

Last summer the plant was leased

there is less dryness in the climate,
where motives are never impugned
and promises to pay never doubted.
In January the American Type
Founders company of Seattle took
back the two big Miehle presses that
Mr.. Fowler had purchased, and the
working force was cut to about half
its previous size. The climax was
reached yesterday in the application
by the local bank for the appoint
ment of a receiver.
There will be no change in the
makeup of the paper or in the per-
sOnnel of its staff, nor any change
in its policies, either political or
otherwise. The action only places
in legal control of the plant those
that We're hitherto in charge in all
other ways.

c. N, WANTS
TO RENIC
Railroad Must Build New Depot or
Improve Conditions at the Old.

Because they believe that the
Great Northern has broken faith with
the city council, members of that
body will not allow the railroad to
make any slipshod and temporary
provisions to remedy the unsanitary
conditions that exist at the Wenat-
chez depot. Instead, they will de-
mand that toilets conforming to mod
ern conditions shall be installed and
that at once.
When the council first demanded
that proper toilets be placed in the
depot they were informed that the
railroad had completed plans for the
erecting of new depot to be finish
ed by the first of October. Persons
connected with the road represented
that to comply with the councils de-
mand would work hardship on the
company, and asked that permission
be granted to use temporary vaults
during the months that the old de-
pot would still serve. With this un-
derstanding the permission was
granted.
Members of the council have since
learned that the railroad may not
build depot here this year. No Of
fetal statement to that effect has been
received, but so good was the author
ity considered that until the report
is confirmed or work begun on a new
depot no work on temporary vaults
will be permitted
Should no definite knowledge of
the railroads. Intentions ha learned
within a short space of time, the
sanitary committee of the city coun-
ell, composed of Buttles, Parshall and
Russi, expect to take steps that will
result in the installation by the CT.
Northern of proper toilets for the
use of the public.
