mile away was place where there had
been sheep slaughter house, but that
the only evidence left was a well, forty
feet deep and with thirty feet of water
in 1t. To tie Clarkson up and drop him
in would be the work of moment and
no one would ever know what had hap
pened to him.
This suggestion was adopted. and a
few moments later we left the road,
crossed an irrigation ditch and came to
the place just Black had described it.
The well, with it's inky-black water,
might have been 900 feet deep for all one
could tell. First Clarkson was ordered to
strip to his underclothes. and then Black,
placing one hand on his shoulder, kicked
his legs from under him and proceeded
to hogtie him. Did you ever see a man
hogtied? No? Well. first the wrists are

Then the fight began to have its eff
feet. Clarkson tried to cry for help, then
his tongue began to swell, and to turn
black. He was trying to shout. but could
hardly make a sound above a whisper
Black picked up one side and Richards
the other. and they carried him a few
feet, holding him over the mouth of
the well. He managed to gasp out that
he wanted to pray. Back again he was
brought and placed on the ground. while
he tried to ask mercy. In his fear and
excitement praying was beyond his pow
ers. and he could only gasp, What shall
1 say? What shall l say?'

"The Crop Watchers. /"
From the Wide Awake World Magazine.

In China the fields are not protected
by hedges or fences; the country lies
quite open and is everywhere easily ac-
cessible. This is not to be interpreted as
an indication Of the peculiar honesty of
the people or of their exceptional
respect for their neighbors' property. AS
a matter of fact, thieving abounds. Large
numbers Of the people are very poor, and
this class in order to subsist, have fire.
quent recourse to stealing. AS the time
of harvest approaches and the fruits and
cereals are ripening. orchards and fields
are never safe from the unwelcome visi-
tations of predatory bands. The farmer
knows this, and hence everybody Is
obliged to stand guard over everything.
Almost every field has its watch tower,

man named Richards, who turned
around from the front seat and asked for
opinions upon what should be done with

in the suggestion that we should drive

him on the rear seat of the surrey and
drive off.
Another suggested that 1t would be
much easier to tie him up and throw him
into one OF the big irrigation bitches. A
third thought that it would be easier to
take him along with US till We came
back, after dark, then to tie him on the
railroad track. just before the evening
express came through, which would
quickly settle his liquor-selling career.

Last Saturday was a lively day
in Eddyville. 1t had previously
been advertised that several i'm
portant meetings were to be held
on that day. so everyone came to
town, bringing their dogs with
them, and several even bringing
Their wives and sweethearts. The
first thing pulled off was a meeting
of the Ysquina Bay Mutual Tele-
phone company, which was engine
cred by our old friend Ches Nor
rison of Elk City, who by the way
is general manager Of that system,
and seems to be the right man in
the right place. The meeting was
called to order in Mr.. Kolkow's
store as the time clock on the
schuolhouse door was set for !
o'clock p. m. After some discus
sion of the affairs of the company
it was thought best to be more
strict in collecting phone dues. and
upon motion it was voted to discon.
meet all phones of those that had
not paid up by the 10th Of each
month. After the motion was
carried it was discovered that sev.
eral present who had been finding
fault with others, had not paid
their dues for months past. Even
one or two of the officers could not
remember when they had paid ur
last, but were certain they haC
paid up to January, 1912. The
meeting was hummer and every
one was pleased when it was over,
The road meeting was held at the
schoolhouse and a special tax of Il
mills levied. AS W. F. Wakefield
the supervisor. was not present W
j. Cline was elected chairman. Mr.
Cline was also elected supervisor
for 1918.
The Eddyville Grange held it
usual meeting Saturday at tn
Hall. They elected officers for th'
ensuing year.
