CHAPTER XIV.
The Bottle of Wine.

A S REGARDS Theodore Racksole,
N who was to have caught his man
from the outside of the cellar,
he made his way as RAPIDLY as
possible from the wine cellars up to the
ground floor, out Of the hotel by the
quadrangle, through the quadrangle and
out into the top Of Salisbury lane.
Now, owing to the vastness OF the
structure of the Grand Babylon, the
mere distance thus to he traversed
amounted to little short of a quarter
Of a mile, and as il included a number
of stairs, about two dozen turnings and
several passages, which at that time
Of night were in darkness, more or less
complete, Racksole could not have been
expected 10 accomplish the journey In
less than five minutes.
As a matter of fact, six minutes had
elapsed before he reached the top Of
salisbury lane. because he had been de-
layed nearly minute by some ques-
tons addressed to him by a muddled
: and whisky laden guest who had got
lost in the corridors.
As everybody knows, there is a sharp,
short bend in Salisbury lane near the
top; Racksole ran around this at good
racing speed, but he was unfortunate
enough to run straight up against the
very policeman who had long before so
courteously supplied Jules with a
match.
The policeman seemed to be scarcely
in so plant a mood just tnen.
"Hullo!" he said, his naturally sus-
picious nature being, doubtless, aroused
by the spectacle of a bareheaded man
. IN evening dress running violently down
the lane. What's this? Where are
You OFF in such a nurry?" And he
forcibly detained Theodore Racksole for
a moment and scrutinized his face.
Now, officer" said Racksole quietly.
none of your larks, II you please. I've
no time to lose"
Beg your pardon, SIR" the policeman
remarked, though hesitating and not
quite with good temper, and Racksole
was allowed to proceed on his way.
The millionaire's scheme for trapping
Jules was to get down into the little
sunken yard by means of the ladder
and then to secret himself behind some
convenient abutment of brick work until
Mr.. Tom Jackson should have got into
the cellar.
He, therefore, nimbIy surmounted the
railings-the ratings of his own hotel
and was gingerly descending the ladder,
when. 10! a rough hand seized him by
the coat collar and with ferocious jerk
urged him backward
The fact was Theodore Racksole had
counted without the policeman. That
guardian of the peace, mistrusting
Racksole's manner, had quietly follow
ed him down the lane.
The sight of the millionaire climbing
the ratings had put him on his mettle,
and the result was the ignominious cap
ture of Racksole.
In vain Theodore expostulated, ex-
planned, mathematical. Only one thing
would satisfy the stolid policeman
namely. that Racksole should return
with him to the hotel and there estab-
lish his identity. If Racksole then
Grand Babylon, well and good. The
policeman promised to apologize.
So Theodore had no alternative but
to accept the suggestion. To prove his

THE POST GETS THE
"FACTS" TWISTED

For the Information of the Paris
Post and the citizens of the county,
generally, the Examiner will say
that Sheriff Rich WAS NOT Fat the
corner saloon' in Montpelier at the
time Mr.. Elmo Haggerty made his
get away. Sheriff Rich knows this
TO be true, If the editor of the Post
doesn't.
just where Sheriff Rich was at the
time Elmo went into bis place of
business, from which he made his e t
away through the back door, there Is
a difference of opinion. Sheriff Rich
contends that he and Deputy Athay
were at the depot on business, while
some half dozen citizens of Montpe-
lier, including the editor OF the Ex-
aminer, contend that Officers French
and Dairymple were standing in
front of the Haggerty place, Deputy
Athay was sitting in buggy just in
front of the place. while Sheriff Rich
had started for the Hotel Burgoyne,
but turned back when he got to the
First National Bank corner.
We wrote the account of the affair
just as we remembered seeing 1t, and
the only point on which we may have
been mistaken was the exact location
of Sheriff Rich and Deputy Athay,
when Elmofeft. Never having had
occasion to doubt Mr.. Rich's word, it
may be true, as he says, that he and
Athay were at the depot just at the
time Elmo left, but Sheriff Rich says
they We're not gone five minutes, If
that long.
Had the editor of the Post consult
ed with Sheriff Rich before writing
the article in last weeks issue, he
would have learned that the Sheriff
was not ''at the corner saloon when
Mr.. Haggerty departed.

SPEAKS GOOD WORD
FOR BEAR LAKE

j. Ii. Jones, who went from here
to Gridley, California, about five
years ago, in writing to the Rxanin-
er, says:
Bear Lake is good county, just
the same, and one of the best for it's
purpose. 1t can beat California 100
per cent in raising horses, cattle and
sheep. Rear Lake potatoes would
sell on the market here at from $3 to
$3.50 per sack, il they were once in
troduced here
Land sells here at about 500 per
acre and produces from $50 to $1,000
an acre California has one of the
hest markets in the world for it's pro-
d lets. Work is plentiful and wages
are good.
II have seen hotter days in Mont
pelier than | have here, and / have

COMMISSIONERS BUY
A ROAD ROLLER

After thoroughly considering the
merits of the steam and gasoline
road rollers, the county commission
ers, last I 1uesday, decided that the
gasoline roller would best fill the
requirements of this section, and
made an order for the purchase of a
gasoline roller from Beall IL Co. for
the sum of s3260.
The Beach Manufacturing Co. had
combined roller and transaction
engine on the ground for inspection,
the price of which was the same as
the gasoline engine. It was impos-
sible to give practical test of the
two machines, but from what wal
seen of the working of the machines
the commissioners decided in favor
of the gasoline roller.
The roller is now at work on th,
road between Ovid and Paris and il
is the intention of the commission
ers to keep the roller busy as long
as the weather will permit.
/ The commissioners adjourned
Tuesday until Dec. Ia.

SHELTER THE
FARM MACHINERY

Prof. F, L. Kennard, assistant
agronomist at the state university
experiment station, gives some very
good advice in the following article:
@Now that the harvest is over
with The rush of work incident to
caring for and storing the crop,
don't forget to also store the MAJ
chinery that made it possible TO
SOW, cultivate and harvest that
crop. The season of frequent and
prolonged rains is approaching and
the sight of expensive implements
out of doors, often in the field
where they were last used, should
be an incentive to every farmer &c
erect shelter and protect them
from the elements.
sit is safe to say that machinery
left out in the weather the year
around will deteriorate fully al
much, if not more, during the long
period il stands idle than it will
from wear during the time ii is in
actual operation, In other words
the life of an impl. .ment will bt
doubled, if it is properly housed
when not in use. This is especially
true of harvesting machinery bu,
applies with almost equal force tx
any that is used on the farm

penslve one. A good roof is essen

courage of the citizens, who volun-
teered for this particular duty and
went into the thick of the fray un-
solicited.
A party who was in search of the
doctor found the dead body of Ed
Bacon, where he had fell just off
Main street, opposite the Wyman
Hotel. About him were several
empty shells from his rifle, which
lay beside him with the lever thrown
forward as if his last act in life was
that of reloading his frearm.
The people of Cokeville deplore
the reputation they are gaining from
the outside on account of this affair
and others similar. The people are
quiet and peacable but if any more
would-be bad men from the outside
have il under their bonnets that
they can run the town unmolested,
they will meet with a much warmer
reception IN the future. II is TO be
hoped that this sad affair, with its
dire ending, will teach need, d
lesson.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that Edward Bacon came to his
death by gun shot wound, the shot
being fred by party to them nn-
known.
Edward Bacon was quite well
known in this vicinity and known
to be hard working, honest man.
Some are of the opinion that he was
prompted by a spirit of revenge
against certain parties with whom
he had had trouble and that this
was used to entice him by others
into desperate affair that has
brought sorrow to his relatives and
friends, a shock to the community
and resulted in the untimely death
of two men. The body of Mr..
Bacon was shipped to Sandy, Utah,
and buried beside that Of his wife,
who died some e RS ago.

he explained that IT was mixed with
volcanic ash and had received the
wash of the mountains for centuries
For twenty feet it is of the same
character, producing everything ex-
cept the products of the tropics.
"Upon the subject of opportun-
tiles Mr. Foulk explained that in
Idaho there are plenty of them, but
TO succeed one must work. He had
no apology to offer for any part of
the state. 1t has splendid market,
he explained, and is shipping its

clusion, he remarked:

er Rich spoke at length upon the d.
versified industries of Idaho and of
the opportunities that still await the

TWO DEATHS AS RESULT OF
SHOOTING AT COKEvILLE
Edward Bacon Killed Instantly and Peter Ander-
son Died Wednesday from Wound Received
Affair a Mysterious One.

Cokeville, Wyo., Oct. 26. The
shooting affair which occurred al
this place on the night of Oct 10
and resulted in the death of twt
people, is still matter of much
speculation as to cause, but not eff
feet. Some think raid had beer
planned and poorly executed for the
purpose of the robbery of tht
saloons and such citizens who might
have been out at that time of night.
The first shot was fired into the
front of the ''Wyoming Club" the
place of VIM. Wyman. The bullet
struck Mt. Peter Anderson, who
bad been attracted to the front of
building by noise on the window,
striking him in the thigh and from
which injury he died yesterday in a
hospital at Salt Lake City. As soon
as the first shot was fired Marshal
Scruggs opened fire on the party OF
parties in the raid and a running fire
was made along Front street. 'Citi-
zens quickly joined in the fray,
thinking that the Whitneys were
holding up the town. The officers
and others on the street are quite
positive that several people were in
the raid, but on account of the
obstinate fight put up by the town
police and citizens, they made a
hasty get away.
A shot was fred into the front of
Pete Fuller's saloon. barely missing
the bartender, Dan Hansen, and do
ing some damage to the fixtures. A
great many shots were exchanged,
some estimating the number between
so and 100. Shots were fred in
different parts of the city, away
from the business streets and the
people were thoroughly alarmed un-
til daylight. Armed guards were
sent to different parts of the city
and remained out all night. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
