HIS TIME WAS UP
MoUNTAINEER READY TO BEGIN
SENTENCE.
Believer In Law and Order Saves HE
Friend the Sheriff the Neces-
sity of Escorting Him to
Penitentiary.

Not long ago there appeared at the
gate OF a penitentiary in Kentucky a
man who asked to see the warden.
He was a tall, well-dressed, fine APP
pearing man, with all the marks OF a
citizen of the eastern or mountain
portion of the state. At his request
the warden showed him the jail Not
detail escaped the visitors eye. He
asked about the hours of exercise and

spected the food, looked critically
over few cells. and at last, when he
had made himself familiar with the
routine and administration, departed
to visit some other places of interest
in the neighborhood.
What time do you close up for the
night?' he asked as he went away
AT five O'clock" said the warden
A few minutes before five the stran-
ger again appeared at the Office and
produced from his pocket file of pa
pers.
well, sir" he said, IL reckon you'll
just have to lock me in now. My time
seems to be up"
Lock you I'M" exclaimed the war
den. What do you mean?"
Just what l say. Lock me in. I'm
to be one OF your prisoners. Here are
my papers" He handed over his COM
mitment, which was regular, and re-
quired the warden to confine him in
the penitentiary for two years.
sfSff nj taII ,l-
said the warden. The stranger took
chair and explained.
You see, up in my county they have
been having considerable talk about
law and order, and against every man
doing his own shooting. I'm that way
myself. | believe in the law and the
sheriff. But, Of course, when they
came TO be little shooting among
some chaps that had a feud in their
Families, and Ii wasn't nobody else's
business, and the sheriff stepped in
and tried to arrest the fellow that
done the shooting, and he being a
friend of mine, / just naturally had
to go along and see that he got away.
There was considerable use of
guns, and in the course of it the
sheriff-that's Jim Burt-got shot up
quite bad. They all said done It, and
| don't doubt it, though we were all
shooting.
so they up and jailed me, and had
me tried, and found me guilty. |
owned up probably done it, as they
said, and the Judge gave me two years
in the penitentiary to pay for it,
That's where the trouble come in.
Jim Burt, he's a great friend OF mine.
OF course by law he had to come down
here with me and turn me over to
you; but being shot up hathaway. he
wasn't in any shape to travel. Doc said
it would just break him all up to have
to come. | was sitting up nights with
| him.
"'I don't know what I'm a.going to
do Jim says.
Why, jim / says, you amt go
ing TO do anything. You give me
them papers. and I'll go down to the
penitentiary and hand 'em over when

your having any trouble, told him.

come down here, and here | am. So

CHAPTER Xxx (continued)

"All | saw was the crowd blocking
the doorway. ] knew 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 | knew; he had bung-start
or in his hand"
Mason nodded thoughtfully. his
mouth puckered. IT'S him, and half
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 wusnt fer leavin pris-
oner unprotected, darn me If / wudn't
like to mosey right down thar an
pound a little boss sense into that
bunch o. cattle. Thets bout the only
thing We kin do fer a plum fool, so
long as the law won't let We kill
him"
I'm really sorry that you got mixed
up in this, Buck" said Hampton,
for ii looks to me about nine chances
out of ten against either of us getting
away from here unhurt'
"Oh, l don't know. It's bin my ex-
perience thet there's alters chances IL
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 a hand
in this little game. Anyhow, it's up
to us to play it out to the limit. Bless
up right now!"
A half-dozen men were starting to
climb the hillside, following a 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 there1l
be somethin dom If 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.
Now, see here, Buck" answered
one, taking a single step ahead OF the
others, and following his hand as a
trumpet to speak through. lit don't
look to us fellers as II this affair was
any of your funeral, nohow, and we've
come long ahead of the others just
on purpose to give you fair show to
pull out of it afore the real trouble
begins. Sabe?"
lis thet so?'
The little marshal was too far away
for them to perceive how his teeth
set beneath the bristly mustache.
"You betl The boys don't consider
thet it's hardly the square deal your
takin' up agin 'em in this way They
lected you marshal of this we're camp
but 1t warn't expected you'd ever take
no sides long with murderers Thet's
too stiff fer us to abide by SO come
on down. Buck. an leave us to at
tend to the cuss."
IF you mean Hampton, he's my
prisoner. Will you promise to let me
take him down to Cheyenne feI

FARMERS UNION.

We have been disappointed this
week in not receiving proceedings,
as promised, of the district meet
ing of the Farmers Union here
last week.
Cd. M. Daniel of Cuba Landing
is president, and w. j. Webb of
Denver secretary. About LOO del
egates were present from Benton,
Humphreys and Perry counties.
The first day was given over to
public speaking, which WAS par
ticipated in by State President j..
e. Montgomery of Gleason, e. b.
Carter of Rusk in and Homer H..
Higgs of Greenfield. Among 9TH
.er things Mr.. Montgomery said
the farmers were not tryMg to
build upon the wrecks and ruins
of other professions, but shat the
laboring classes were trying to get
: to where they'could attend to their
own business and be self-sustain-
ing; that they were not asking for
pity or sympathy, but in the name
of humanity they were seeking1us-
tice through organization.
Mr.. Carter, III a speech of fully
an hour, presented his plans and
policies for the farmers and labor
ing men, in which he discussed CO.
Operation, education, the enforce
ment of law, and the opportunity
of the farmer III which 'he said:
"This is the stragetic point with
the tanners; they are III the great
est crisis of the worlds history,
and this is the time for them to
array themselves and stand for
justice. equity and civic .righte-
business"
Homer Il. Higgs made "a very
enthusiastic speech on the princi-
Piles of the union, which, was we'll
received.
Friday was spent partly behind
closed doors, during which time
they devised a plan to pool, grade
and reclean peanuts. Arrange
ments were made with Il. G. Britt
and others to reclean and market
peanuts, and action was also taken
in regard to building "a recleaner
at Jacksonville.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted thanking the people of
Camden for their kindness and
hospitality to the farmers during
their stay in Camden.
The union adjourned to meet at
Crooked Greek in Perry County,
but we did not learn date of the
meeting. Each county was urged
to sendDdelegates to this meeting.
Several of the officers remained
over until Saturday night, when a
union was organized at the court
house, with eleven members.

JUST STAYING HERE

This, from the Douglas Island News, is bit of true philosophy that should 5o absorbed into the consciousness Of every true Alaskan:
 "The only trouble with Douglas Island, and, in fact all Alaska that we know anything about, is that so many never get over the idea that they are only here for a few months or a few years at the most and when their for tunes are made they will hike back to the States in a hurry r.d will then be- gin to enjoy life.
 There never was a more foolish mistake.
 "We know a man who has lived right here on Douglas Island for almost S dozen years, and all the time he has deIuded himself with the idea that some day be would move back to the Sound and begin to live. All the beauty of the mountains and the sky aud the sea is tainted and spoiled by the thought that the time to enjoy life has not come yet Wait until we go back.

cannot see that they have no more right hold grants than other people,
 Thus the question raised with all thinking people as to WHY he see but that is another story each man may finish out for himself. It is sufficient for ALL the people that the governor of Alaska is arrogatng to Himself the right say who shall do business in this land that was intended to be free The language of this inter- view the language of autocracynot of autocrat of course but of woudbe autocra But the worst feature of it is the element of deception contains Governor Hoggatt well knows that the government of the United States places no limitations in the grants allowed the Gug
 heims that it does not lay upon every other gantthey al equally require construction provision of the grant aud yet the governor would lead the reader to be- eve he opposing the Alaska Central and the Reynolds people and Dr. Bruner special privilege accorded them Of course it is so The very idea of Reynolds making better bargain with the government than could Guggenheim, is to laugh.
 But it is made clear to why Governor Hogatt is lis opposed to territorial government In faherng this in terview Governor Hoggatt himself tempera mentally an autocrat; unable tc thinke republican or democrat You see he is entirely unconscious of the effect these words-how they sound to you and he would give them publicity To mind like that 'the peO pie" never could get ripe"
 It only necessary that this be well understood by the voters of Alaska and that they remember that Mr. Cor son is a creature of Governor Hoggatt
 First of all there must be a square deal in Alaska. All men who come into this wilderness to labor to invest must be guaranteed SQUARE DEAL.

Cheap apples--MiIlheiser Orchard


In the furniture trade July a1d
August is the buying season. Clar-
ence Ullery, buyer for the Ullery Fur
niture Co., has just returned after
spending these two months in Chi
cago, Grand Rapids and surrounding
manufacturing cities, carefully study
ing the situation and huying only
snaps and bargains with the ready
cash. Mr.. Ullery has had years OF
experience in the furniture line and
is conceded exceptionally shrewd
business judgment. 1t is safe to say
that he has accomplished what he
went after namely to give John Mac
Donald, manager of the Ullery Furn-
iture Co., the inside of the furniture
market. Wise buyers can draw their
own conclusions-goods we'll bought
are half sold. Mr.. Ullery bought very
heavily, anticipating good times in
the Pecos Valley. They state that
these goods must be sold, and the
Record is now figuring on hand
some advertising contract with Mr..
Macdonald, he believing that the
Record is the medium which will
move these goods.
