the outlaw who for five days has defled
the authorities to take him, passed an
undisturbed day in his shack near Sum-
merdale. A heavy snow fell all day and a
biting wind whirled 1t about the poorly
constructed house. Smoke from his Chin
ney, however. told that he still had fire
wood, and he ia known to have a three
day supply of food.
Sheriff Anderson tonight planned a de-
cisive move to get Beardley. dead or alive
This he hopes to do tomorrow noon. The
success of his move depends upon what
influence Carl Beardsley of jamestown,
a brother, has with the thin, hollow
chested man who has held the sheriff and
his deputies off since last Tuesday night
Three brothers of the outlaw farmer

William, from town in western Penn

brothers will seek conference with Ed

will aid the sheriff in carrying out plan
which he has made for the mans capture

Carl Beardsley and his two companions
will walk to the window and hold parley
with the outlaw. An effort will be made
to induce the man to step outside the
door. Then, If they are unable to make
Beardsley a prisoner, a sharpshooter,
stationed in the woods opposite the shack,
will shoot his man with rifle.

False Report Of Shooting.
The report that there had been shoot
ing at the house this morning caused
great excitement in Mayville and Sum-
merdale. Sheriff Anderson hurried to the
guard station near Bradshaws Corners,
where he met William Walker and Van
Case. who had been reported dead. WalAel
and Van Ctse went to the house early
today to attempt to talk with Beardsiey.
1t was generally believed through the
countryside all day that when Walker
and Van Cise went to the house Boards
ley had opened fire on them. Walker
said tonight that there had been no
shooting. He admitted, however that
Beardsley had turned against him.
Beardsley had his rifle in hand when
the two came to the window. He told
them he knew they were employed by
the sheriff to get him. Both would be
shot If they made an unfriendly move.

DR.. SnOWden Here.

DR.. John A. Snowden, en- route to Win

Richmond few hours Thursday and
spent part of the time in the Climax
office. The genial, whole souled physi-
clan, who carries smile which cannot
be etfaced, is quite jubilant over the
prospects of amassing fortune as a re-
suit of the recent discovery on his prop
erty, in Clark county, of a valuable slate
quarry. If the deal now on between the
Doctor and an Eastern syndicate is con-
sumated, the editor of the Climax has
an invitation to visit Winchester and
take several at the expense of the ge-
NAL physician.

The immigration Bill.

In addition TO legislation suggested in
the recent message of President Wilson,
it is quite certain that Congress will
shortly pass law restricting immigra-
tion from Foreign countries. Hereto,
tore, immigration has frequently reached
and slightly passed the million mark
per year, but the year l9la broke all
records, and something like one mil
lion and six hundred thousand Q,600,-
0O0) were received into this country.
Twenty and thirty years ago the immi-
grafton from abroad was Of very de-
sirable quality, but the kind that is now
coming in is largely from the south of
Europe, and instead of being an asset to
the country they become burdens. They
are unwilling as rule to work on our
great farms Of the south and west, and
hundreds of thousands of them hang
around the large cities, lured by the
bright lights, and being out of employ
ment much of the time. they become
criminals, such as the "Rlaokhand So
ciety" and the New York Gunmen, ="
or else they become paupers and thus a
charge on the public. The Bill now be-
fore Congress provides. among other
things. a literary test, which will keep
two-thirds of them out of this country.
Such law passed Congress twenty years
ago and the last thing that President
Cleveland did was to veto it, which of
itself is pretty goad evidence that it was
a meritorious lawS and the last thing
that President Taft did was to veto al
most the same identical Bill, which is
quite conclusive proof that the Bill was
patriotic one. Mr.. Wilson is the geat-
est statesman who ever entered the
White House, and he is quite thel oppo-
site OF Cleveland and Taft; and it is well
understood that he will sign the Bill
when it is presented for his signature.
He has been outspoken on the import
ance of this matter and has frequently
said that this should not be dumping
ground for the criminals, mischief.
makers and paupers of Europe.

Will Not Publish Anonymous
Communications,

AS has been recently stated in these
columns, the Climax will not publish
any communication sent 10 this office
unless responsible signature is attach
ed thereto. While this has always been
our inviolable rule, the editor received
notice for publication which came in too
late for investigation, and not believing
anyone would desire to humiliate this
paper or embarass innocent parties. We
gave space to the anonymous item,
which on its face had every indication
of being authentic. The Climax had
been in circulation but a few hours when
we were notified by those supposed to be
most interested that there was no foun-
dation whatever for the published state
ment. This fact has impressed upon US
the necessity of enforcing to the letter
our rule never 10 publish any item which
fails to carry with it a signature. This
week we have received several interest
ing communications, but as they lacked
signatures, we were compelled torefrain
from publishing. 1t is not the intention
OF the Climax to publish names Of con-
tributors. unless solicited to, but We
must have the signiture as evidence ol
good faith.

An Editors Easy Life.

1t is easy to be an editor. To run a
paper successfully man has merely to
be able to write poems, discuss the tar
iii and money questions. umpire base

describe fire so that the readers will
shed their wraps, make ST. do the work
of $40, shine at dance, measure calico:
abuse the liquor habit, test whisky, sub
scribe to charity, go without meals, at
tack free silver, wear diamonds, invent
advertisements, sneer at snobbery, over
look scandal, appraise babies, delight
pumpkin raisers, minister to the affiict-
ed, pacify the disgruntled; fight to a
finish, set type, mould opinions, sweep
out the office. speak at prayer meeting
and stand in with everybody, and few
hundred other things. And in addition
TO the above essentials, the poor editor
has to print a paper once week.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced, owing TO a revolution in Mexico.

OF Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger, a
wealthy miner who makes him a prOpo-
sition to return to Mexico TO acquire title
TO a very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when he found he had been
cheated out OF the title by one Aragon.
The Mexican subsequently had spent a
large sum of money in an unsuccessful
attempt to relocate the vein and then al
lowed the land to revert for taxes. Hook
er and De Lancey arrive at Fortuna. near
where the Eagle Tail mine is located
They engage Cruz Mendez to acquire the
title for them and begin preliminary
work. AragOn accuses them OF jumping
his claim. Hooker discovers that matri-
monial entanglements prevent Mendez
from acquiring a valid title. Phil. who
has been paying attention to Gracia Ara
gon. decides to turn Mexican and acquire
the title. Aragon fails in his attempt to
drive them off the claim. a rich vein Of
gold is struck and work on the mine Is
stopped until the title can be perfected
Phil is arrested by Manuel del Rey, cap
tain Of the rurales and sutton of Gracia s.
He is released on promise to stay away
from Gracia. He asks Bud to take care

she cried, clasping him by the hand.
You will. won't you? I'm not afraid!

hand away, that's just what | won't

And what did you tell him to do?"

And what did he say?"
HE said he'd try anything-once!"
Bud spat out the phrase vindictively.
for his blood was up and his heart was
full of bitterness.
"Oh dear!" faltered Gracia. And
so you do not think that Phil is
brave?"
Hes brave to start things" sneered
Bud. but not to carry 'em through"
For a moment Gracia huddled up
against a pillar, her hand against her
face, as if to ward off blow. Then
she lowered ii slowly and moved re-
| luctantly away.
81 must go now" she said. and Bud
did not offer to stay her, for he saw
what his unkindness had done.
Il am sorry!" she added pitifully.
but he did not answer There was
nothing that he could say now.
In a moment of resentment, driven
to evaporation by her taunts. he had
forgotten his pledge to his pardner
and come between him and his girl.
That which he thought wild horses
could not draw from him had flashed
out in a fit of anger-and the damage
was beyond amendment. for what he
had said was the truth.
