NSGOOD saw that Clare, with her woman in

that subtle fascination the human mind which
is exercised by the art relics Of the past.
"What crimes might commit under the spell

smiling "Even for her portrait ready to risk

his own liberty to kidnap her."

Narrowly she watched the curator as they pro-

Dr. Grimm was a middle-aged man, rather good
looking in spite Of his huge tortoise shell spectacles
and the slight stoop to his shoulders. He had air
that suggested the savant and epicurean combined.
CAREFULLY Clare went over every lock and
~ bolt Of the big private gallery. At last in the
basement, after what had seemed frutless search,
they came to a strong door by which rubbish was re-
moved to the street. A low exclamation from Clare
called attention to some steel filings which had col
leced in corner and had evidently been overlooked
by some one in cleaning.
She began tapping the door, Suddenly with her

II wonder if Jacot did have anything to do with
it? reiterated Osgood.
'I should like to see him before you begin negotia
tions," answered Clare noncommitally. "By the
way, from your end would suggest that it is safer
to put the matter in the hands of Dr. Grimm and let
him manage it with Jacot'
That afternoon Clare and Billy Lawson, with
small grip sat in the lobby of the Prince Henry, just
around the corner from Jacots Size had telephoned
hastily to Lawson and had briefly stated the facts in
the case.
"You will stay here, Billy" she planned in con-
cuson. "Keep this grip of mine. will call up

CONGRATULATIONS!

Every good democrat in Nor

There is now no cloud on the
democratic horizon in "Old Nor

independent races for comfy Of

which they surely are, and with

now our opinion, based upon
sound reasoning, that the repub-
lican candidates, seeing the in
evitable, will shortly do likewise.
They are good men and shrewd,
and cannot fail to see the hand
writing upon the wall. They
have absolutely no chance to win
and no one knows it better than
they. Their time is too valuable
for them to make a race against
such odds. The democratic par.
ty in Morgan county was never
more firmly united than at pres

that were inflicted during the
primary have all completely heal

Senators LaFollette and Poin-

the democratic tariff bill which
passed the U. S. Senate recently,

pecially Senator La Toilette,

some meE hunt is nothing short
of slaugh .er. They spend three
fourths OF their time in the
woods armed with a double-bar-
relied, breech-loading shot gun,
and so expert have they become
that it is almost impossible for a
squirrel to escape them.
Will they cease. now that the
season is closed? The suppose
ton is that they will not, Spur
rel hunting has become a second
nature to them and to stop hunt
ing would be like taking NOR

Some Of them will hunt or

prives the busy man of the
chance of getting a mess of
squirrels at the rare intervals he
can take a few hours off in the
open season.
The plea that squirrels destroy
crops does not hold good any
more. Once upon time this
was true, but conditions have
changed. Since the law prohibit

tire year. The damage to crop
by squirrels is too small to b
considered.
1t is to be hoped that the gam
wardens and others in authorit
will be dilligent in the discharg
of their duty and see to it tina
all violators of the game laws ar
brought to justice.

CAVE-IN CAUSED
 THE DEATH OF KAMPFF F'rom Thursdays Daily.)

According to the investigation made by the coroner's jury. the death of Fred Kampff at the Climax mine on Tuesday was due to an ac- cident on his part.
 This unfortunate miner was at work on a ladder starting a stope about twelve feet from the floor of the tunnel, when it is supposed his pick entered the soil and lossened a large chunk of ore, which struck him on the head with such force as to throw him to the bottom, where he was found about one hour later badly injured. A deep gash over the right eye, with many bruises on his body received by falling on the pile of ore beneath the ladder, was not considered as the cause of death however.
 He was an unusually large man weighing over FPS pounds, and in the fall is believed to have sustained in ternal injuries, which proved fatal. He was found in Tunnel No. }, at about 500 o'clock in the afternoon, and passed away three hours later.
 He came to this section recently from California, and was considered as a hrst-class miner. He was born in Germany and aged about 36 years. A brother is mining in the Chime huevis mountains south of Needles on the Arizona side, his only known relative in this country. He will be informed of the sad accident, and IS expected to arrive in a few days | to attend the funeral.
