Reynolds buildings were threatened by the flames and back fires were ordered by forest Fire Warden Place to prevent destroying the buildings, also the Cadv farm was in danger but by hard hght that was saved but for a while it looked as though everything would be swept as it passed. The warden order- ed men and help came from Chepachet, W alter Hawkins and men, Dexter El- llott's mill men, East Putnam Box factory men, and others helped. By hard fighting it was put out, but it made its way back again several times, the fire warden finding it difficult to control some of the time and by hard work the fire was quenched Much credit is spoken of the faithful work of Warden Place and also of the men, and if the back fires had not been set others would have suffered with the fire and the whole place would have been in flames.

LIE PLAYS A MANS P~ART--ALso LEE.
THE mob besieging Cavanagh In
Halsey's saloon had not found
its leader. 1t hesitated and
clustered. but did not strike
and eventually edged out OF the door
and disappeared. But the silence
which followed It's retreat was more
alarming to the ranger than its pres
ence. Some slier mischief was In
these minds. He feared that they
were about to cut the electric light
wires and SO plunge him into dark
mesa. and to prepare for that emergen-
cy he called upon the bartender (Hal-
sey having vanished, for a lamp or a
lantern.
The fellow suilenly set about this
task. and Ross, turning to Gregg. said.
IF you've any influence with this
mob you'd better use 1t to keep them
cut OF mischief. for I'm on this Job to
the bitter end, and somebody's going
to be hurt ~
Gregg. who seemed quite detached
from the action and rather delighted
with 1t. replied: II have no influence.
They don't care a hang about me.
They have 1t In for you. that's all" 4.
Edwards remained silent. with his
hat drawn low ver his eyes. 1t was
evident that he was anxious to avoid
being seen and quite willing to keep
out OF the connict; but. with no hand
cuffs and the back door Of the saloon
~vnguarded, Ross was aware that his
guard must be incessant and aiertly
yigilant.
Such a thing could not happen I'M

missloned oftcer Of the law and that
the rams head had been found on the
~poacher's pack made very little diff
ference to these irresponsible insti-
gators to assault 1t was wonderful
how highly that ioaf1ng young rascal,
Joe Gregg, was priced at the moment.
TITS an outrage that the son of q lead
ing citizen should be held up in this
way by one OF the forestry Cossaeks,"
declared n of the merchants.
The discussion which took place
over the barn Of the town was at the
riot heat by 0 o'clock, and soon after
10 a crowd Of bowling. whooping bad
boys and disreputable ranch hands
were parading the walks, breathing
out vile threats against the ranger.
Accustomed to men of this type, Cav
anagh watched them come and go Mt
Halsey's bar with calculating eyes.
There will be no trouble for an hour
or two. but meanwhile what Is to be
donef Higley is not to be found. and
the town marshal Is also out OF
town" To Halsey he said. II am
acting. as You know. under both fed
eral and state authority, and / call
upon you az a law abiding citizen to
aid me In holding these men prisoners.
/ shall camp right here till morning
or until the magistrate or the marshal
relieves me of my culprits."
Halsey was himself a s~portsman-a
genuine lover OF hunting and a fairly
consistent upholder of the game laws;
but, p~erceiving that the whole town
had apparently lined up in opposition
to the ranger. he lost courage. His
consent was half hearted. and he edg-
ed away toward the front window of
his harroom. nervousiy seeking to be
neutral-'.to carry water on both shout
ders,s as the phrase goes.
The talk grew less jocular as the
drinks took effect. and NeiIl Ballard.
separating himself from the crowd,
came forward. calling loudly: "Come
out O. there. Joe! Come out and have
a drink
His words conveyed less of battle
than his tone He was, In fact, urging
a revolt, and Cavanagh knew 1t.
Gregg rose as If to comply. The
ranger stopped him.
Keep your seat" said he. and to
Ballard he warningly remarked. "And
you keep away from my prisoners"
"Do you own this saloon r. retorted
the fellow truculently. II reckon Hall
sey's customers have some rights.
What are you doing here. anyway
This Is no Jail"
"Halsey has given me the privilege
of holding my prisoners here till the
Justice is found. 1t isn't my fault that
the town Is without Judge or jail"
He was weakened by the knowledge
that Halsey had only half consented to
aid justice. but his pride was reused,
and he was determined upon carrying
his arrest TO its Legitimate end. "I'm
going to. see that these men are pun
ished If I have to carry them to Sui
phur CITY, he added.
Smash the lightsls shouted some
one at the back.
Here was the first real note of war.
and Ross cried out sharply, IF a man
lifts a hand toward the light I'll cut
it orr
Thera was a stsa,thy movement In
the crowd, and. leaping upon the
counter. a reckless cub reached for
the lamp.
Cavanagh's revolver shattered the
globe in the fellows very palm. "Get
down from therer' he commanded.
