A Grim Announcement.
 The men, N ho proved to be three gi- .antic negroes and white man. at fred ill the blue drill uniform of spanihh officer, with little eoekade in 'is felt hat, jerked Holton 10 his feet, Ut the lashngs about his ankles and hurried him toward the trail.
 Finally. as hints of dawn appeared overhead. tbe party arrived at 8 small clearing where were picketed some rore Of h6rses. with their riders, evi- iently a contingent of Spanish cavalry
 There was q short conference. and ben the gag was taken from Holton's mouth and he WAS lifted upou a pony. Ehe eavalcade took up the trail which ran alongside the mountain. below the camp of Garcia. in the direction of Santiago
 As the sun rose, a halt was called ir' little valley. and preparations were made for what Holton believed would be stay of considerable duration
 It was then that for the first time word was spoken directly to Holton. An oflieer-not the one who had fig ured in his capture, but the man i'll charge of the detachment--eenfront the American as he sat on the ground. and. releasing his hands. placed guard over him.
 You will have opportunity for two houN Fest" he said, lowing Then we shall proceed al once to Santiago"
 Put why have I been eaptured?" rrotested Holten. T am non-combat. mt
 He produced his credentials as core spendent of the London Standard. The officer examined them carefully. Then le placed them ill his pocket.
 T am convinced you are lying" ht replied simply. Our information cor eerning you IS exceedingly accurate For your sake trust the papers mas be found correct For otherwise''-he shrugged his shoulders-"you are . spy"
 A chill passed over Holton. He had not thought of sllat before A spy! Anc in war time thew had summary way Of dealing with such.
 After very meager brca .fast, the men threw themselves upon the ground. chatting and smoking, and Holton did likewise. He felt in it's fullness the relief of having his hands Free, and in large measure, despite the guard standing over him and the men all about. he became possessed oi greater confidence in bis ability ta meet this situation, the most danger, ous teat had ever confronted l''m.
 Fearing. no doubt the proximity of Garcia's E men. the soldiers d,d nor move until late afternoon, and then with great stealth. all talking n the ranks being rigi6ly silenced Holtou had had opportunity tor several hours sleep. He WAS thereby greatly rc ireshed. and, under reaction, his fear, for himself were considerably lossene6
 Dusk fell and still the march con tinued. On through the night went tn men, and without stop until dawn. when camp was made iu clearing which had been cut where two of the mountain trails met and crossed. Here -as the heavens grew bright, fires were lighted, and meal prepared, after which sentriee were posted Then thc amp settled down for sleep

CITY PRINTING GRAFT
TO Be AIRED IN COURTS

A taxpayer will take steps to stop
part of the city printing graft of the
Gary Tribune. Through the influence
of city official who is also an officer
in the Tribune company the city of
dreds Of dollars annually because OF
his illegal actians.
Incidentally the effort to prevent the
further footing of the city treasury by
placing a legal paddock on ii steps will
be taken to compel City Treasurer f.
C. Simpson, city treasurer and Tribune
stockholder, to return every penny that
he is charged with illegally spending
in the past four years by causing to be
inserted in the Tribune. in which he
shares in the profits notices that have
cost the taxpayers much money.
Simpsons actions will be brought to
the attention of the state board of ac-
countants in connection with the tax
payers suit. The Indiana law pro-
vides a heavy penalty for city officials
who are intereste din city contracts.
The state board of accounts in its
inspection of books in various parts of
the state have compelled officials TO
pay out of their own pocket moneys
which they have spent without au-
thorization or funds diverted to chan
nels which will render them q profit.
Simpson, not long ago got stung for
Is466 some of his high handed pro-
ceedings when without the authorize
ton of Mayor Knots and the members
of the city council he proceeded &c
hire lawyers to fight the saloonmen OF
Gary whereby each one had to pay an
extra sum of $500, the most of which
went by way of city deposits into his
bank. the First National of which the
Hon. Homer Carr of saloon remons-
trance fame is director. Simpson
then had the nerve to put in a bill fol
s466 for legal fees but which the couu.
ell wisely refused to pay as the stat,
statutes provide q penitentiary sent
| ence for any official who without au
thorization by appropriation pays ou
money for the city.
