(IOntl0ueQ)
The warning was well timed. for
as they neared the scene of the
tragedy Troop detected Chief
Thomas conversing on the sidewalk
with a man of remarkable appear
ance. He was tall and graceful,
very erect, with a clear-cut hand
some face and hair tinged with gray
He had eyes blue and deep set, and
an expression that lighted up when
speaking, then lapsed into a state
of immobility.
The chief and he were in earnest
conversation, and at time Thomas
was laughing boastfully. The
stranger was taking notes, appar-
emily much interested in the story,
and Roger noticed the remarkable
neatness of the writer. His clothes
were an expensive business suit,
fitting him faultlessly. His entire
appearance suggested strength,
alertness and the unmistakable pol
ish of gentleman of the world.
AS the three approached Chief
Thomas and the stranger, Martin
glancing at Troop in warning ad-
vanced.
'As I live. my friend Paul Par
ker," he said, addressing the man
with Chief Thomas.
Hello, Martin, what are you do
ing here?" came back in a clear, in
cisive voice, reporting this af-
fair?"
Yes, are your

shake"
Then Roger and Troop were in
troduced to Paul Parker, and the
chief was introduced to Mr.. Martin.
Mr.. Parker shook hands with
Roger Malley, and his manner was
very gentle and courteous-for he
knew that Rogers sister was in
trouble.
AS Troop grasped the strong
mans hand and looked him in the
face, there was not even a glance
of recognition between them, but
as Parker closed his grip upon
Troop there was a slight pressure
of his fingers-a pressure that said
as plain as words, 'be cautious"
After few moments Chief
Thomas left and the others went to-
gether to the hotel.
Roger came close to Troop. "The
chief has been up against it," he
said with well-guarded smile, and
lapsing into slang.
up against what?' was the re-
jOinder.
"Quintus Oakes," and he nodded
toward Paul Parker.

John Hutchinson Killed.

John Hutchinson, manager
of the Loveland Mills, was al
most instantly killed at noon
today while at work in the ele-
water. His clothes caught in
some manner in the shafting
and the body was whirled rap
idly around striking the floor
in such a manner that life was
almost extinct by the time
those working near him
heard the noise. The gas
oline engine was imme-
diately shut off and Mr..
Bailey and Miss Hutchinson
tried to get the body loose, and
were assisted by a number Of
men who happened to be near.
By that time, however, life
was extinct.
The tragedy is an awful
shock for the family, of whom
there are quite a number. Mr..
Hutchinson was in the sixties
and had lived in Loveland fol
sometime. Nilsson had formerly
been an operator at Loveland
for the Northwestern and was
in partnership. with Dan Bailey
the present owner of the bust.

At the present writing no ar
rangements have been made

Allmon Home Burns

Fire last evening destroyed
the old Hargen farm house,
which was occupied by the ALL
mon family. The farm is To-
Gated a few miles southwest of
Mo. Valley. Fire was discov-
cred last night between nine
and ten O'clock, but owing to
the high wind they were ur-
able to save any of the furni-
ture, and the house and con-
tents were entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Allmon carried about $500
insurance on the furniture, but
we are not informed as to
whether or not there was any
insurance on the house. The
Allmon family went to the
neighbors for the night and
suffered somewhat from expos
