Milton. July Mr.. c. f. Geise, a
well-known rancher who lives about
two miles south of Milton on the
Walla Walla river, met with a serious
accident this morning. While he and
his hired man were at work in the
hay field loading the hay on the wa
gon. one of his horses, which was not
used to strangers, became frightened
at the hired man and started to run.
Mr.. Geise was thrown from the
wagon and his left shoulder was dis
located. After helping the man to
catch the horses, he came to town on
horseback and had his shoulder set.
Although the injured limb pains con-
siderably, Mr.. Geise is getting along
nicely.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Sunday Murder.

Banks posse, leaving Medicine Bend before daybreak, headed northwest. Their instructions were explicit: To scatter after crossing the Frenchman, watch the trails from the Goose river country and through the Mission mountains, and intercept everybody riding north until the posse from Sleepy Cat or Whispering Smith should communicate with them from the southwest. Nine men rode in the party that crossed the Crawling Stone Banks.
 After leaving the river the three white-capped Saddles of the Mission range afforded a landmark for more than 100 miles. and toward these the party pressed steadily all day. The southern pass of the Missions opens on the north slope of the range into pretty valley known as Mission Springs valley. and the springs are the head-waters of Deep creek. The posse did not quite obey the instruc- tions, and following natural instinct of safety five of them, after Banks and his three deputies had scattered, punched again, and at dark crossed Deep creek at some distance below the springs. It was afterward known that these five men had been seen entering the valley from the east at sundown just as four of the men they wanted rode down South Mission pass toward the springs. That they knew they would soon be cut off, or must cut their way through the line which Ed Banks, ahead of them, was posting at every gateway to Williams Cache, was probably clear to them, Four men
