The Brave Little Dog Flew at Her.

chariot whenever she wished to go to
drive. But as she opened the gate the
Lion gave loud roar and bounded at
her so fiercely that the Witch was
afraid, and ran out and shut the gate
again.
IF l cannot harness you," said the
Witch to the Lion. speaking through
the bars of the gate. 81 can starve you.
You shall have nothing to eat until
you do as l wish"
So after that she took no food to the
imprisoned Lion; but every day she
came to the gate at noon and asked:
Are you ready to be harnessed like
horse?"
And the Lion would answer:
mo. If you come in this yard will
bite you"
The reason the Lion did not have
to do as the Witch wished was that
every night, while the woman was
asleep, Dorothy carried him food from
the cupboard After he had eaten he
would lie down on his bed of straw,
and Dorothy would lie beside him and
put her head on his soft, shaggy name.
while they talked of their troubles and
tried to plan some way to escape. But
they could find no way to get out of
the castle, for it was constantly
guarded by the yellow Wrinkles. who
were the slaves Of the Wicked Witch
and too afraid OF her not to do as she
told them.
The girl had to work hard during
the day, and often the Witch threat
ened to beat her with the same old
umbrella she always carried in her
hand. But, in truth. she did not dare
to strike Dorothy. because of the mark
upon her forehead. The child did not
know this, and was full of fear for
herself and Toto. Once the Witch
struck Toto a blow with her umbrella
and the brave little dog flew at her
and bit her leg, in return. The Witch
did not bleed where she was bitten.
for she was so wicked that the blood
in her had dried up many years be-
fore.
Dorothy's life became very sad as
she grew to understand that 1t would
be harder than ever to get back to
Kansas and Aunt EN- again. Some
times she would cry bitterly for hours,
with Toto sitting at her feet and look
ing into her face, whining dismally to
show how sorry he was for his little
mistress. Toto did not really care
whether he was in Kansas or the
Land Of Or SO long as Dorothy was
with him; but he knew the little girl

TIGHTENS COIL
STATE EVIDENCE IN TEN SLEEP
MURDER CASE IS VERY
DAMAGING.
CONFESSION
STRONGLY duplicates ALL
THOSE AWAITING TRIAL FOR
THE CRIME.

Basin, Wyo.-The prosecution in
the Ten Sleep murder cases tightened
the coil about Herbert Brink, the cat
tlemen now on trial for the murder of
Joe Allemand, Joe Emge and Jules
Lazier. when the evidence of William
Goodrich. one of the states star wit
nesses, was introduced.
Goodrich and his wife are the ones
influenced, 1t is said, by friends of the
defense, to leave the state, and an ef.
fort will probably be made to reach
persons charged with SO influencing
them.
Goodrich told the story Of his meet
ing with Brink and of the latter's al
legged confession of his participation
in the crime. Goodrich said Brink told
him the names of the men who parti-
cipated in the raid, and that all are
now waiting trial for the murder. He
said Brink told Of approaching the
wagon occupied by Allemand and OF
firing many shots into it before warn
ing those inside OF what he intended
doing. He also confessed, Goodrich
says, to every detail of the awful
crime, his story duplicating Sabin,
Alexander and the others, and corrob-
Grating the testimony given by Keyes
and Farris, two of the participants
who confessed.
Thus the prosecution has presented
the evidence of two participants d.
rect, that of third-the defendant
through Witness Goodrich, and that Of
two eye witnesses, the Frenchman
and the boy who were compelled to
lie face downward while the murder
Gus work was in progress.
On cross-examination Attorney
Ridgley, for the defense, attempted to
shake the testimony of Goodrich, but
he never wavered. Ridgley attempted
to show that Goodrich had been prom
ised large sum and also portion OF
the reward If he would tell the story
as he did on the witness stand, but
Goodrich denied the accusations. or
interrogatories, in toto.
The fact was brought out that Will
liam Garrison, who committed suicide
after giving his testimony to the
grand jury, was employed by Good
rich at the time of the raid, also that
Brink had stated that he would get
Allemand if necessary"
Numerous witnesses were called by
the state today to corroborate the evil
dence of Keyes and Harris. Mrs. AL
lemand, widow of one of the murdered
men, testified briefly regarding the
movements of her husband just prior
to his assassination.
The state rested its case Monday
evening and the defense asked for
recess until morning, which was
granted.

gr1nning terribly: but he saw the
mark of the Good Witch's kiss upon
her forehead and stopped short. mo-
tioning the others not to touch her.
I'VE dare not harm this little girl"
he said to them, "for she is protected
by the Power of Good, and that is
greater than the Power of Evil. All
we can do is to carry her to the castle
of the Wicked Witch and leave her
there"
So, carefully and gently, they lifted
Dorothy In their arms and carried her
swiftly through the air until they
came to the castle, where they set her
down upon the front door step. Then
the leader said to the Witch:
We have obeyed you as far as we
were able. The Tin Woodman and the
Scarecrow are destroyed, and the Lion
is tied up in your yard. The little girl
we dare not harm, nor the dog she
carries in her arms. Your power over
our band is now ended, and you will
never see us again"
Then all the Winged Monkeys, with
much laughing and chattering and
noise, flew into the air and were soon
out of sight.
The Wicked Witch was both sur
prised and worried when she saw the
mark on Dorothy's forehead, for she
knew well that neither the Winged
Monkeys nor she, herself, dare hurt
the girl in any way. She looked down
at Dorothy's feet, and seeing the sill
YER shoes, began to tremble with fear,
for she knew that powerful charm
belonged to them. At first the Witch
was tempted to run away from Doro-
thy; but she happened to look into
the child's eyes and saw how simple
the soul behind them was, and that
the little girl did not know of the
wonderful power the silver shoes gave
her. So the Wicked Witch laughed to
herself, and thought: 81 can still make
her my slave, for she does not know
how to use her power" Then she said
to Dorothy, harshly and severely:
Come with me; and see that you
mind everything tell you. for If you
do not, l will make an end of you. as
l did of the Tin Woodman and the
Scarecrow."
Dorothy followed her through many
Of the beautiful rooms in her castle
until they came to the kitchen, where
the Witch bade her clean the pots and
kettles and sweep the floor and keep
the fire fed with wood.
DOROTHY went to work meekly,
with her mind made up to work as
hard as she could: for she was glad
the Wicked Witch had decided not to
kill her.
With Dorothy hard at work the
Witch thought she would go into the
courtyard and harness the Cowardly
Lion like horse; it would amuse her,
she was sure, to make him draw her

ToItec Land Drawing.

Denver. An Antonito dispatch
Thursday night says: Nebraska and
Iowa people drew the cream of the
Toltec tract at the Carey act land
drawing. Several Denver men drew
land. but there were few lucky ones
down state. When the drawing was
completed it was estimated that from
one-third to one-half of the $4,000 acres
had been disposed of.
One of the features of the drawing
was the location of 80 acres by E. R.
Marshall of Antonito, who got second
choice. The piece he selected is three
miles from Antonito, fenced. has been
farmed, has two stacks of alfalfa and
many Improvements. The land had
been farmed by Fred Ortiz. well-to-
do land owner of this place, and it
had been supposed that Ortiz held
patent to 1t.
The first number drawn was 1888, by
]. Doran of George, Iowa. He was
neither here nor represented by an
attorney, and his chance had to be
passed. If he arrives later he will
have to select from what remains. Sew
eral Nebraska and Iowa people are on
their way to the drawing failed to ar
rive in time and 1t is possible that he
is in the party.
The first choice was given to the
next number drawn. 202, held by Guy
T Nash of Pueblo. He had registered
for 100 acres and selected tract
about two miles southwest Of Antoni.

NATIONAL live q
STOCK SHOW
ACTIVE PREPARATION FOR THE
GREAT ANNUAL EXHIBITION
IN DENVER.
TO DOUBLE LAST YEARS
BREEDERS OF PEDIGREED STOCK
WILL BRING THEIR BEST
ANIMALS.

Denver.-This city will be the
storm center of the live stock indus
try of the country in January, and
the coming annual stock show and the
conventions of the American National
Live Stock Association, the National
Beef Producers Congress and the
Colorado Cattle Growers Association
bring the men engaged in the various
branches of the industry together to-
discuss the present most interesting
situation in regard to the meat indus
try.
After a long period of fluctuating
markets in which the profits of one
year are swallowed up in the losses
OF the succeeding year, 1t is generally
agreed that the industry has in sight
a long period of prosperity. So conf
dent are live stock investors of this
fact that they are buying cattle right
and left and banks and money brokers
are besieged for loans with which to
buy more cattle.
Preparations for the big show in
January are being pushed vigorously
the show management is commencing
the construction of additional accom-
modations to take care of the large
amount of stock coming. The show
will be nearly double the size of last
year in every department and General
Manager Skinner is busy planning
how to care for the exhibits. The big
stockmen Of the East are alive to the
situation and realize that the center
of the industry for the future will be
in the West. with Denver as head
quarters. The breeders of pedigreed
stock are coming to show their best
and to sell some of their animals to
the West and many more are coming
to look over the country and try to
find location. Thousands of stock
men in the Middle West are selling
their farms with the idea of coming
West to locate where they can control
some cheap grass. The West has the
grass and the time is coming when it
will provide the bulk OF the live stock
for the whole country.

CHAPTER xII.-continued.

So the Wicked Witch took the gold
en- cap from her cupboard and placed
1t upon her head. Then she stood
upon her left foot and said. slowly:
"Ep-pe, peppe, kak-ke!"
Next she stood upon her right foot
and said:
"Hil-lo hol-lo. hel-lo."
After this she stood upon both feet
and cried in a loud voice:
'Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik."
Now the charm began to work. The
sky was darkened, and a low rum
bling sound was heard in the air.
There was a rushing of many wings:
a great chattering and laughing; and
the sun came out of the dark sky to
show the Wicked Witch surrounded
by a crowd of monkeys. each with a
pair of immense and powerful wings
on his shoulders.
One, much bigger than the others,
seemed to be their leader. He flew
close to the Witch and said:
You have called us for the third and
last time. What do you commando"
GO to the strangers who are with
in my land and destroy them all ex-
cept the Lion" said the Wicked Witch.
mind to harness him like a horse and
make him work"
your commands shall be obeyed,' y
said the leader; and then, with a
great deal of chattering and noise, the
Winged Monkeys flew away to the
place where Dorothy and her friends
were walking.
Some of the monkeys seized the Tin
Woodman and carried him through
the air until they were over a country
thickly covered with sharp rocks
Here they dropped the poor Wood,
man, who fell great distance to the
rocks, where he lay so battered and
dented that he could neither move nor
groan.
Others of the monkeys caught the
Scarecrow. and with their long fin
gers pulled all the straw out of his
clothes and head. They made his hat
and boots and clothes into a small
bundle and threw it into the top
branches of tall tree
The remaining monkeys threw
pieces VI sIout rope AROUND Ine Lion
and wound many coils about his body
and head and legs. until he was un-
able to bite or scratch or struggle in
any way. Then they lifted him up
and flew away with him to the Witch's
castle, where he was placed in a small
yard with high iron fence around it,
SO that he could not escape.
But Dorothy they did not harm at
all. She stood, with Toto in her arms,
watching the sad fate Of her comrades
and thinking It would soon be her
turn. Ths leader of the Winged Mon
keys flew up to her, his long, hairy
arms stretched out and his ugly face

the ornamental stems on the shelf
running along the side of the room.

contact is made, drop falls on the
annunciator indicating the position of
the table and bell rings. In a second
half dozen walters are in attendance
at that table and the stein goes back
on its peg. The proprietors have lost
SO many valuable pieces of bric-a- -brac
that they were constrained to adopt
this measure. Since the alarm system
has gone into effect there have been
many surprises. but no losses.

played in this city The first is with

of next week, the exact date
having not yet been decided upon.
The second is with the all-star champ.
ion Monmouth team, and will take
place Saturday night, Feb. sixth. The
local team no longer play girls rules;
for they have found it impossible to
get game in so doing,-for all other
teams in the state play the regulated
boys rules. The girls have been
practicing daily SO good games may
be expected. Furthermore the home
team has perfect confidence in itself
and is in for winning both games, All
though the Monmouth girls may COM
pete for the championship of the
state, and may boast Of the games
they have already won this season,
the High School girls have decided
to give them game which they will
long remember. Principal Incl,

The engagement at the Astoria

Lieutenant and the Cowboy" may
very properly be regarded as one of
the dramatic events Of the season,
"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy" is
a novel play, interesting, humorous
and thrilling, 1t deals with the ad-
ventures Of an American army officer
on the western plains and introduces
a large number OF characters, The
play is lavishly mounted and the
scenic investure is absolutely correct,
this giving to the play the required
atmosphere. In the first act which
shows lonlely mountain trail one
almost scents the sagebrush and al

Speaking in his own interest and
that Of all men who travel the Lewis
& Clark road out Of this city and into
it, a gentleman said yesterday to a
reporter Of the Astorian: "The Lewis
& Clark road, between the farm Of w,
], ingalls, and John Reeves, distance
of about one quarter Of a mile, is all
tide-land; and one-half of this stretch
is built Of poor gravel and loose dirt,
the other half being planked, When
freshets arise, the planks are thrown
in all directions, and the porous earth
and soft gravel become a stretch of
muck and mud, rendering the district
impossible to man and beast let
alone rigs, The boxes in the dikes
are not large enough to permit the
outflow of the congested waters and
wide acres are subjected to overflow
and stagnation The only remedy at
hand Is for the road TO be deeply and
solidly gravelled with clear and sound
gravel, including the two or three
small bridges that span 1t at inter
Gals. Any less Improvement, Is mon
ey and time thrown away"
