ing with Johnny on the matter. Murphy
loudly asserted that the league had not
taken Evers away from him. but so far
only Evers and Gaifney have been taken
care OF.
As matters now stand, Murphy has
lost Evers and received nothing in re-
turn. Ebbets wired Murphy late yes
terday TO hurry back here but as Pres
ident Tener has taken the matter in
hand, it appeared likely that the league
president would close things up at tho
meeting today whether Murphy was
here or liked il.
President Gilmore and Edward T..
Gates, counsel for the Federal League,
expected to leave here today for Chicago.
They put over their Brooklyn deal with
out arousing the suspicion OF the Ma
tional and American Leaguers earlier in
the week, having insisted to the last
that Toronto would not be deserted
When the Brooklyn deal became
known Garry Hermann said the Ma
tional League would now begin TO be
busy with It's war measures.
We're going to the mat with 'em,"
declared HERMANN.
The Joint rules committee Of the
American and National League took no
action on the proposed change relating
to the intentional pass. Coaches on the
side lines hereafter will not be permit
ted to touch any base runner, and if It is
apparent 10 an umpire that a batter
places himself in the way Of a pitched
ball expecting TO get his base by being
hit he will be declared out.
II was reported early today that Hub
Perdue, the Boston pitcher, would be
sold to the Giants before night. Sweeney
is also TO be sold by Boston, and several
clubs have put in bids for him. Man
ager Stallings, of Boston, and Secretary
Foster, of the Giants, held an extended
conference last night. The sale of Per-
due and Sweeney is said to have been
practically ordered by the National
League board of directors as a part of
the clearing up of the Evers matter and
will make up the $4,000 bonus Evers
has said he viii receive.
Fight fans here today believed the
AlcFarland-Gibbons match would never
take place. Eddie Reddy. manager Of
the ST. Paul star, wired TO home folks
that the tight is practically of. 1t is
that Gibbons first agreed to
a percentage division of the receipts.
Later, however, it is said he also de-
manded a $4,000 guarantee when he
learned that Mcfarland was sticking out
for that much coin.

CHAPTER X.

To an American, accustomed to get
ting things done first and talking about
1t afterward, there is nothing SO subtly
irritating as the oId-world Journalism,
the polite evasiveness of the Mexi-
cans; and yet. at times, they can speak
to the point with the best Of us.
For sixty days Don Cipriano Aragon
had smiled and smiled and then, sud.
denly, as the last day of their mining
permit passed by and there was no
record Of announcement BY Cruz
Mendez, he appeared at the Eagle Tail
mine with a pistol in his belt and a
triumphant sneer on his lips.
Behind him rode four Mexicans,
fully armed, and they made no reply
Ito De Lancey's polite "Buenos dias!"
"Take your poor things burst out
Aragon, pointing contemptuously at
their tent and beds, "and your low,
mo longer stands in the name of Cruz
Mendez, and want it for myself! No,
mot a world" he cried, as De Lancey
opened his mouth to explain. Moth
ing! Only go!"
"No, senor," said Hooker, dropping
his hand to his six-shooter which hung
low by his leg and stepping forward.
''we will not go!"
"What?" stormed Aragon, "you-"
"Be careful there" warned Bud,
suddenly fixing his eyes on one of the
four retainers. "If you touch that gun
I'll kill you!"
There was pause, in which the
Mexicans sat frozen to their saddles,
and then De Lancey broke the silence.
"You must not think, Senior Ara
gon," he began, speaking with GER
tain bitterness, that you can carry
your point like this. My friend here is
Texan, and If your men stir he will
kill them. But there is law in this
country for every man-what is it that
you want?"
Il want this mining claim" shouted
tAragon, that you have so unjustly ia
ken from me through that scoundrel
Mendez! And l want you to step
aside, 80 that l can set up my monu-
lments and take possession of It,"
"'The Senior Aragon has not been to

Mexican officers some slight unessi-

Mexican officers some slight uneasi-
ness.
It was, in fact, only a question OF
days, months, or years until the entire
Yaqui contingent would desert, taking
| their arms and ammunition with them.
Gee, what a bunch of men!" ex-
claimed Bud, as he stood off and ad'
mired their stark forms.
There's some genuine fighters for
you," he observed to Phil; and giant
Yaqui, standing near, returned his
praise with smile.
"W'y, hello there, Amigo!" hailed
Bud, jerking mis- head in friendly sa-
lutte. That's feller was making
signs to up in Aqua Negra," he ex-
planned. "Dogged If amt stuck on
these Yaquis-they're all men, believe
mel"
Good workers, all right" conceded
De I.ancey, "but I'd hate to have 'em
get after me with those guns. They
say they've killed a lot of Americans,
one time and another"
We'll, if they did it was for being
caught in bad company" said Hooker
'1'd take a chance with 'em any time
but if you go into their country
with a Mexican escort they'll kill you
on general principles. Say" he cried
impulsively, I'm going over to talk
with Amigo!"
With broad grin on his honest face
he advanced toward the giant Yaqui
and shook hands tremendously.
Where you go?" he inquired in
Spanish, at the same time rolling a
cigarette and asking by a sign for a
match.
"Moctezuma," answered the Indian
gravely. Then, as Bud offered him the
The Idaho Republican., 1914-07-10

gos he had thrown down all his guards,
and even De Lancey saw all too clear
ly what his intentions in the matter
had been.
Spare your cursing, Senor Aragon,"
he said, "and after this he added,
you can save your pretty words, too
for somebody else. We shall re-
main here and hold our property"
"Ha! You Americans!" exclaimed
Aragon, as he chewed bitterly on his
defeat. you will rob us of every
thing-even our government. So you
are a Mexican citizen, Ell? You must
value this barren mine very highly to
give up the protection Of your govern
ment. But perhaps you are acquainted
with a man named Kruger?" he
sneered.
"He would sell his honor any time
to defraud Mexican of his rights,
and l doubt not it was he who sent
you here. Yes, have known it from
the first-but will fool him yet!
$50 you are Mexican citizen, Senor
De Lancey? Bien, then you shall pay
the full price of your citizenship. Be-
fore our law you are now no more than
that poor pelado, Mendez. You cannot
appeal now to your consul at Gads-
den-you are only a Mexican! Very
well!"
He shrugged his shoulders and
smiled significantly.
"No," retorted De Lancey angrily;
you are right cannot appeal to my
government! But let me tell you some
thing, Senior Mexicano! An American
needs no government to protect him
he has his gun, and that is enough"
YES added bud, who had caught
the drift of the last, "and he has his
friends, too; don't forget that!" He
strode over toward Aragon and men,
aced him with threatening finger.
III anything happens to my friend"
he Kissed, you will have me to whip!
And now, senor," he added, speaking
in the idiom Of the country, "go with
God-and do not come back!"
"Pah!" spat back Aragon, his hate
for the pushing foreigner showing in
every glance; Il will beat you yet!
And l pray God the revoltosos come
this way, If they take the full half of
my cattle-so long as they get you
| two!"
Very WELL" nodded Bud as Aragon
and his men turned away, but be
careful you do not send any!"
Good" he continued, smiling GRIM
ly at the pallid Phil; now we got him
where we want him-out in the open.
And I'll Just remember them four PAL
sanos he had with him-they're his
handy men, the boys with nerve-and
don't never let one Of 'em catch you
out after dark"
De Lancey sat down on a rock and
wiped his face.
Heavens, Bud" he groaned, 81
never would have believed 1t Of him
l thought he was on the square. But
1t Just goes to prove the old saying
every Mexican has got a streak Of yell
low in him somewhere. All you've
got to do is to trust him long enough
and you'll find it out. Well, we're hep
to Mr.. Aragon, all right"
II never seen one of these polite,
palavering Mexicans yet" observed
Bud sagely, that wasn't crooked. And
this feller Aragon is mean, to boot.
But that's a game" he added, that
two can play at. don't know how you
feel Phil, but we been kinder creeping
and slipping around 30 long that I'm
all cramped up inside. Never suffered
more In my life than the last sixty
days-being polite to that damn Mexi-
can Now It's our turn. Are you
gamer
Count me inl" cried De Lancey,
