of monopoly In this country which was

poorer. He said the bill was contrary
to the will of the American people.
Senator Burkett declared that the
Finance Committees action in chang
ing front over night on the subject of

OF petty politics." Late In the day

The continued wet weather is be-
coming very serious to the farming
interests of this section. A prominent
and successful farmer stated this
morning that 1t would be impossible
to get the grass out of otton without
greatly impairing the stand, and there
are many farmers who will be com

OF their crop. Showers have fallen

grown in this county, but the rains

them.

NO TRUE BILLS LOST
EXPECTED SENSATION DID NOT
MATERIAEIZE.


Birmingham, June 15.-(Special.)--
Before a crowd that almost taxed the
capacity of the criminal court room,
nifty attorneys being in the crowd.
Judge Samuel Weaver this morning
investigated charges brought by G..
H. Estes. prominent member of the
Law and Order League, who was a
member OF the grand jury that ad-
journed last week, to the effect that
two true bills brought against two
men of North Birmingham had been
lost after being turned into court.
The clerk Of the criminal court,
John G.. Bradley, was In the court
room and questioned the witnesses
that were offered, in defense OF any
.intimation that might be brought
against his office. Mr.. Estes and A. b.
SHdduth, the latter foreman of the
last grand jury, were the principal
their best belief the true bill were re-
turned and delivered into court.
Tn assistant solicitor of the county
who was in charge of the grand jury
did not remember any such indict-
ments, nor did the. stenographer who
drew up the bills. The clerk of the
criminal court did not receive any
such indictments and the assistant
clerk who handles the papers did not

to wait now until another grand

trial. After hearing all the testimony
Judge Weaver took occasion to repri-
mand the grand jury for seemingly
negligence. The criminal court clerk
was exhonerated from any blame that
might have been intimated, the judge
announcing that the evidence showed
that the warrants or indictments COM
planned of as having been lost had not
been issued at all.

Murray Sinclair and his gang of wreck
erD were called out to clear the railroad
tracks at Smoky Creek. McCloud, a
young road superintendent, caught Sin

nocence. declaring 1t only amounted to a
small sum-a treat for the men. McCloud

amends. But such opportunities had
slipped away unimproved, and here
was the new railroad superintendent,
whom their bluff neighbor Sinclair
never referred to other than as the
college guy, being brought apparently
as a prisoner to the Stone ranch.
Busted with her thoughts, Dicksie
rode slowly along the upper trails
until long detour brought her around
the corrals and in at the back OF the
house. Throwing her lines to the
ground. she alighted and through the
back porch door made her way unob-
served to her room. From the office
across the big hall she heard mems
voices In dispute. and she slipped into
the dining room, where she could hear
and might see without being seen.
The Office was filled with cowboys.
Lance Dunning. standing with n cigar
in his hand and one leg thrown over
corner of the table. was facing Nc
Cloud. who stood before him with his
hand on chair. Lance was speaking
as Dicksie looked into the room, and
in curt tones: MY men were acting
under my orders.
You have no right to give such or
ders," McCloud said, distinctly, nor
to detain me. nor to obstruct our free
passage along the right of way you
have agreed to convey to us under our

three carried rifles slung across their
pommels, and in front of them rode
the stranger.
Fragments of the breakfast-table
talk Of the morning came back to
Dfcksie's mind. The railroad graders
were in the valley below the ranch,
and she had heard her cousin say a
good deal on a point she cared little
about, as to where the railroad should
cross the Stone ranch. Approaching
the fork Of the two roads toward
which she and the cowboys were rid
ing, she checked her horse in the
shade of a cottonwood tree. and as
the party rode up the draw she saw
the horseman under surveillance. 1t
was Gaorge McCloud.
Unluckily, as she caught a glimpse
of him she was conscious that he was
looking at her. She bent forward to
briskly to her horse, and rode out of
sight. At Marion's she had carefully
avoided him. Her precipitancy at their
last meeting had seemed, on refiec-
tion, unfortunate. She felt that she
must have appeared to him shockingly
rude, and there was in her recalling Of
the scene an unconfessed impression
that she had been to blame. Often
when Marion spoke Of him. which she
did without the slightest reserve and
with no reference as to whether Dick
sic liked it or not. it had been in Dick
sizes mind to bring up the subject of
the disagreeable scene, hoping that
Marion would suggest way for ma
