And now in crowded vehicles, with

hot country began to pour into town.

of all who saw them.
They were the rich property owners
who, having been subjected to forced
contribution before, were now neelng
at the first rumor of danger, bringing
their families with them to escape any

In half a day the big hotel presided
over by Don Juan de Dios Bracna-

lightly from the carriage and waited

year or more of rumors and alarms,
she had come to look upon impending
revolutionary conflicts as convenient
excuses for trip to town, long stop.

close.
| However that may be, while Don
Juan exerted himself to procure them
good room she endured the gaze Of
the American guests with becoming
placidity and, as that took some time,
she even ventured to look the Ameri-
cans over and make some comments
to her mother.

past them with malignant insolence

COYOTE BOUNTY HELD TO BE
UNLAWFUL

Bounties cannot be paid by the
state veterinarian or state livestock
sanitary board for the killing of pre-
datory wild animals. So holds the
supreme court in a decision handed
down Wednesday. The decision up
holds Judge Davis of the third judi
cial district in dismissing the case
against ]. c. Johnson, G. F., Hartley
and Joseph Irwin, who were charged
with conspiracy.
The claim was made that the de-
PENDANTS had defrauded the state by
collecting duplicate bounties on coy
otes. Judge Davis instructed the jury
to bring in verdict of not guilty for
the reason that the law does not per-
NIT the state to pay any bounties
whatever.
Law Specific on Point
The supreme court points out that
the law relative to the determination
of predatory animals specifies that
the method of operation shall be by
the employment of skillful and COM
petent trappers. 1t is held that the
statute cannot be construed to permit
the payment of bounties. If that
law is not practical or accomplishes
nothing, the court holds that the only
remedy is in the legislature.
What Court Says
Commenting on the present law,
the court adds:
ut Is suggested that the board
cannot accomplish anything by en-
ploying hunters and trappers, for the
reason that they spend their lime in
their own work or do nothing, and
still claim their pay, and that no
results will be accomplished. That
may be true, but it would seem that
the board might be able to employ
honest men for this kind of work
as well as at anything else. However
that may be, if the statute is unwise
or impracticable, relief must be
sought through the legislature
Neither the board nor the courts have
any right to amend the statute"
The decision was written by Chief
Justice Ailshie and is concurred in by
Justice Sullivan and District Judge
E. A. Walters, the latter acting fol
Justice Stewart. .-Statesman.

at last.
Come here" corrected Bud. II
have mine-ten miles-over there"
He pointed with the fiat of his hand,
Indian fashion, and Amigo nodded un-
derstandingly.
He was fine figure of man, stand
ing six feet or better in his well-cut
sandals and handling his heavy Maui
ser as a child would swing stick.
Across his broad chest he wore full
cartridge belt, and around his waist
he had two more, filed to the last
hole with cartridges and loaded clips.
At his feet lay his blanket, bound into
a tight roll, and canteen and coffee
cup completed his outfit, which, so far
as impedimenta were concerned, was
simplicity itself.
But instead of the cheap linen uni
form of the federals he was dressed
in good American clothes-a striped
shirt, overalls, and a sombrero banded
with bright ribbon-and in place of
the beaten, hunted look of those poor
conscripts he had the steady gaze of
q free man.
They stood and smoked for few
moments, talking briefly, and then, as
the Yaquis closed up their ranks and
marched of to make camp for the
night, Bud presented his strange
friend with the sack of tobacco and
went back to join his pardner.
That evening the plaza was filed
with the widest rumors, and another
train arrived during the night, but
through it all Bud and Phil remained
unimpressed. In the morning the SOL
diers went marching off down the trail,
leaving a great silence where all had
been bugle-calls and excitement, and
then the first fugitive came in from
down below.
He was an old Mexican, with trem-
bling beard and staring eyes, and he
told tale of outrage that made their
blood run cold. The red-fiaggers had
come to his house at night; they had
killed his wife and son, left him upon
the ground for dead, and carried of
his daughter, q prisoner.
But later, when the comisario Ques-
toned him sharply, 1t developed that
he lived not far away, had no daugh-
ter to lose, and was, in fact, only a
crazed old man who told for truth that
which he feared would happen. H
Notwithstanding the denouement,
his story stirred the Mexican popula.
ton to the depths. and when Bud and
Phil tried to hire men to push the
work on the mine, they realized that
their troubles had begun. Not only
was it impossible to engage laborers
at any price, but on the following day

dren and all his earthly possessions
on his burros, came hurrying in from
the camp and told them he could serve
them no more.

should see Maria they would steal her
before my eyes!"

A LEADER AMONG
HATING CONCERNS
Frank H. Lee Company, of
Danbury, Has a Large
Model Plant.

One Of the leadiJs hating establish
ments Of the world is the Frank n. Lee
Company, at Danbury, Conn. It occupies
a model factory building which was built
10 accommodate the normal amount o.
production Of four factories previously or
Grated separately. or the four factorie-
two were rough" shops, one soft" shop
and one stiff" shop.
This great company was formed for thu
purpose Of providing a common plant
power. operating staff, and facilities ~
the manufacture OF hats. according 10 thr
individual requirements and necossitie,
of two manufacturers.
The arrangement Of the buildings sud
machinery was designed TO permit Of all
most unlimited capacity expansion with
out disturbance 10 the continuity Of pro-
cesses.
The factory consists primarily OF ono
narrow L-shaped building composed OF
two wings All the actual manufacturing
processes. from the blowing Of the fur to
the packing OF the hats, are conducted in
that building. The offices, fur and shellac
storehouse and power plant are i'm three
separate buildings placed within the angle
formed ~ the wings of the main building
Three switches, one owned by the New
Haven Railroad. the others by the COM
pany, provide facilities for receiving or
shipping coal, material and hats.
One of the most striking features of
this twentieth century hat factory is the
drying apparatus. In regard TO this
David c. Mills says in his book about the
factory: I'm hat manufacture as much
Of the real work is accomplished by wet
ting and drying the felt as by the elbow
grease OF the employees. N II is a simple
matter TO wet the bodies, but everlasting
ly tedious and difficult to dry thefe nre,>c
erly
The old way was TO place them ON
racks in a room surrounded by steam
pipes No attempt was made TO draw o1
the moisture laden air, ana hats dried I'm
from twelve to twenty-four hours. Then
fans were installed to pump out the
moisture. Later the id "a was conceived
of raising the hat slowly through heated
chimney-lke loom. Still later a driving
room was made In which the hats, rest
ing on racks. were subjected to strong
current of heated air. which was immc-
diately pumped from the compartment
