CAMPBELL MAKES
 A SERIOUS CHARGE
cFrom snndav.s panyl

! CFrom Sundays Daily).
 Explaining his reasons for causing
 the arrest of Chipper, his former em-
 plOye, on the charge of arson, Dan
 Campbell made the following state
 ment yesterday to. the Journal Miner:
 "For the past few weeks, have
 been endeavOring to dispose of the
 business, having closed it out, as all
 know. Several parties have been to see the place. and finally desirable purchasers came along. These were the CasOllie brothers. The papers were signed up the day of the fire, and next Monday was set for the transfer. In all the time that a transfer was pending, Chipper, who has been in my employ, has reached the prospective buyer, and wilfully and maliciously misrepresnted the business, saying that the cattle were of poor blood, would not breed, and furnished no milk. This was done re- peatedly by him, and I have wit! nesses to that effect. The day before the fire I ordered him off the place. We had some words, and on leaving me, and in the presence of others, he said. 'Im fix you; and youn be sorry for this That night I re- mained in town, and about 7;30 he came. to my home, and asked for the balanee; due as wages I told him to. come in the morning. There was but one person at the place that night, and that was Lorraine Rief. He left a few minutes before the fire, and the blaze was first seen by him as he was coming up the railroad track The fire started at the northeast cor ner of the barn, and burned slowly. There were others there by that time, and with difficulty we saved the four calves and the fine Holstein bull that were tied up in the end of the shed farthest away from the fire. The in- tention was, I believe, to burn up all of my thirty-eight head of fine eat tie, thereby blocking the sale of the property. My loss will reach over $l,500, and there were several tons of hay and grain. There was no in suranee on the place and Chipper was aware of the fact. There was insur- anee, however, on the old ROemer house, oeeuPTed by him, and he knew that. too. I took the preeautiOn to have that place insured few days ago, in anticipation of this aet.'' l
 MT Campbell says further: "A man was seen a few minutes before the fire alarm was sounded standing beside a tree near the barn, answer ing the description of the man ae- eused.
 "'In addition to this alleged crime. Chipper is accused also of many other crimes while an employe of the place, i other laborers saying that he is a thief, and has taken property from them. He has also been before the ! courts here at other times, accused i of felonies. He is an Austrian by birth, and while in my employ has l been given better wages than any of the other employees. In addition to that he has occupied the house with his wife and children without any rent being paid for that privilege"

The entire house was thrown open and was brilliantly Illuminated the rooms, lnxuriOusly furnished in every way, needed little in the way of added adOrnment. Only sprays and lovely cut flowers were placed here and there, where perhaps a tOpeh of color was fancied. The ball room on the second floor was the scene of erable time has the list of guests been more notable than on Thursday evening. This room looked particu- larly attractive with the green tinted walls. and in the four corners were the stand lamps, which gave a eozy touch to the brilliantly lighted room. As the guests entered they received a cordial reception from the commit tee which was composed of the first president of the club, now governor of the territory, Governor and Mrs. Richard E. Sloan, then stood the pres ent president, MT. and Mrs. W. A. Drake, then the rest of the receiving committee stood in line according to their seniority as presidents of the club, Judge and Mrs. J. J.

match had begun the feud. Tom Pc
ters was badly wounded and confined
to his bed for months. In his first
anger he had sworn to kill Winthrop
on sight. but as he recovered he seem
ed to think better of it.
AS the years went by the breach be-
came wider, and the children grew up
with the feud as part Of their heritage.
1t had long been suspected in the
valley that Winthrop was engaged in
moonshlning, but proof was difficult
Several times the officers had made
sudden deScentS upon his place. only
to be surprised by his blank looks OF
wonder and willingness to show them
around.
But at last they had their revenge.
One dark night they stole into the
ravine and found him at work. He
had escaped himself. but the still and
the supply of whisky were destroyed.
Since then he had kept in hiding.
Food and information were brought
to him by his son. and the two spent
long hours in discussing plans Of re-
venge. Both We're fully convinced that

tnan spoken. and the boys fingers
closed convulsively ON the barrel of
his long rife. 1t was not vet nouli but
the shadows of the forest were thick
around him. Stray CLEANS of sunlight
came through occasional openings in

Then his mood changed. Letting his
rife fall upon the ground. he threw
himself beside the dead body Of his
friend.

time he lay there sobbing bitterly. Then
he rose and began to scoop Il hole in

dead body Of his friend and laid il
gently i'll its last resting place
"Goodby. old doggie," he said as he
turned away. Il wish you knew what
I'm going fer You'd rest more easy"
He moved along slowly and eau
tiously and paused frequently to look
around. Across wild ravines and up,
up the narrow mountain path slowly
and stealthily he moved. and never for
a moment did the angry CLEAN leave
his eyes or his mouth lose its reso-
lutte harshness.
On this side the range was wild and
almost inaccessible. and the cabins of
the hardy mountaineers were far
apart. Perched like an eagles nest on
a narrow shelf Of rock and hidden
from the valley below by thick
growth of chestnuts was the home of
Tom Peters. His nearest neighbor was
Jake Winthrop. who had built his
cabin in the widest part of Il gloomy
raEiqe three miles down the mountain.

been good friends, but that was years
ago. A sudden quarrel at shooting

A quick flush passed over the mans
