pleased him.
The men in the Number Eight mine
had determined to get rid of some
Italians, and after a good deal of
rowing had started in to catch one OF
them and hang him. They had chosen
time when McCloud, the assistant
superintendent of the mine, was down
with mountain fever 1t was he who
had put the Italians into the mine.
He had already defended them from
injury, and would be likely, it was
known, to do SO again if he were able.
On this day a mob had been chasing
the dagos, and had at length captured
one. They were running him down
the street to telegraph pole when
the assistant superintendent appeared
IN scant attire and stopped them.
Taking advantage of the momentary
confusion, he hustled their victim into
the only place of refuge at hand, a

hall. In the farthest corner the I'M
lucky Italian, bleeding like a bullock
and insane with fright. knelt, clinging
to McClouds shaky knees. In trying
to make the back door the two had
been cut off, and the sick boss had
got into corner behind pool table
to make his stand. In his pocket he
had pistol, knowing that to use it
meant death to him as well as to the
