greatest difficulty that the Arizona Copper Company has been enabled to operate the lighting plant for the town of Clifton. The lighting con- dition has now been relieved through the action of Sheriff Cash, who has ordered the plants put in operation under the protection of the Sheriff s office. The pickets stationed at the plants have prevented the Company s watchmen from staying on the premises, and have prevented the foremen, shift bosses and office and warehouse men, and other smelter employees from entering their places of work, forcibly barring the en- trance.
 Strikers have, marched through the mines and have elected employees watching and safeguarding the property. No violence has been committed, but intimidation has been used to the limit.

However, there is no further disorder of any kind in the district. The Mining Companies are simply endeavroing to protect their properties. Not even an effort, is being made at operating, and the determination is firm that DO attempt will be made to start up under the auspices of the Western Federation of Miners. Large numbers of men are daily leaving the district.

Congressman Hayden Makes
 Automobile Tour of the State

PHOENIX, Sept. 14.-Congressman Carl Hayden and Mrs. Hayden re- turned yesterday from a tour of the northern part of the state, which oc- cupied just two months and one day. In that time they visited so many places between this section and the northern boundaries of Arizona, it would be easier to name the places they did not visit than to ennumerate those at which they stopped
 For a short time they were at Pres- colt, then they were at Flagstaff, Winslow, Kingman, Jerome and St. Johns. They camped out sometimes in the mountains and at others they were guests of friends or stopped at hotels.
 For the next few weeks the Hay. dens will remain here and become ac. quainted with their old friends. Both Congressman and Mrs. Hayden are enjoying excellent health and ex pressed themselves as greatly pleased with the trip that kept them at al times within the borders of their owl state.

FREE
 FROM MEXICAN BANDITS
John Lowenbruck, Who Has Been Held by Mexicans Across the Line in Mexico Near Hachita, Well Known in this District.

WeH hnOWn m tnlS District.
 John Lowenbruck, the cattleman who has been held for the past week by Mexican bandits across the line near Hachita for a ransom of $2, 900 has secured his release and left this week for Fl Paso. The ransom money was raised by cat tlemen and taken, by one of their number to the Mexicans. Follow ing is an account of the affair from the Fl Paso Times of Tuesday:
 John Loewnbruck, the. American cattleman who was captured last Wednesday by Mexican bandits and held for $2,000 ransom and whose es. cape Sunday morning was reported in yesterdays Times, arrived in El Paso yesterday none the worse for his mishap, although he had few uneasy hours previous to his es- cape, while waiting to be shot.
 Lowenbruck had gone with L. M. Bacon into Mexico to buy cattle and when they arrived at spot 65 miles south of Hachita and 12 miles from the border, their automobile was stopped by Mexicans, supposed to be fColorados, the Mexicans believing the men in the machine had money, but in this they were disappointed.
 To Be Shot at Six o'clock.
 
 Bacon was ordered to ''beat it' for Ell Paso and to return with $2,00O with which to ransom .Lowenbruck. In the meantime the hostage was taken in the machine to a deep can- yon and placed under a guard which was changed every two hours. On Saturday night, the bandits becom- con, informed Lowenbruck he would be shot at-6 o'clock Sunday morning. About 3 o'clock Sunday morning Lowenbruck noticed that his guards had fallen asleep and made prepara- tions to escape, which resulted sue cessfulIy.
 During the balance of the night he - walked a distance of 20 miles, ar. irving at Red. Dog that morning, where he was met by T. P. Buddy and N. Opitz, who had been searching for him and Bacon. The. latter arrived some time after with the. money, his ,lateness having been caused by his auto breaking down Lowenbruck is Retieent.
 Lowenbruck refused to discuss his case yesterday, simply saying he had been, we'll treated and that he had learned that after his escape the bandits had burned the car in which he had heen kept prisoner.
 Cowboys Ready for Rescue. Mrs. Kate Mendler of Hachita, who arrived on yesterdays train, said that the arrival of Lowenbruck in Hachita had been just in time to prevent the start of at least 100 cowboys who were intent on going to the captive's assistance and that money had been subscribed by the cowmen and cowboys from Colum- bus to Hachita and into Arizona to pay the ransom for Lowenbruck's re- lease.
 Lowenbruck is well known in this district, having been employed for some time in the Longfellow meat market at Morenci and later being in Newtown and his escape from his rrecarious position will be received with pleasure by many friends here.

The Lexington man went back. For
minute or two Jim Holman sat
scowling down in indecision from his
saddle. Then he admitted to himself
that he had done all he could do with
out becoming the aggressor. For the
moment he was beaten. He looked up
and from the road one of the hounds
raised its voice and gave cry. That
baying afforded an excuse for leaving
and Jim Holman seized it.
Go on" he growled. Lets see
what them id ours hes ter say
now"
Mounting, they kicked their mules
into a jog. From the men inside the
fence came no note of derision, no
hint of triumph. They stood looking
out with expressionless, masklike
faces until their enemies had passed
out of sight around the shoulder of
the mountain. The Souths had met and
fronted an accusation made after the
enemy's own choice and method A
jury of two hounds had acquitted
them. 1t was not only because the
dogs had refused to recognize in Sam
son suspicious character that the
enemy rode on grudgingly convinced,
but, also, because the family, which

two men turned toward the house.
Already the other clansmen had dis

or around the angles of the walls.
Fifteen minutes later, Lescott, stand
ing at the fence, saw strange caval-
cade round the bend of the road Sew
eral travel-stained men were leading
mules, and holding two tawny and i'm
patient dogs in leash. In their num-
Der, the artist recognized his host of
two nights ago.
They halted at a distance, and in
their faces the artist read dismay, for.
while the dogs were yelping confident
ly and tugging at their cords, young
Samson South-who should, by their
prejudiced convictions, be hiding out
in some secret stronghold-sa at the
top step of the stile, smoking his pipe,
and regarded them with a lack-luster
absence of interest. Such q calm re.
ception was uncanny. After a whis.
pered conference, the Lexington man
came forward alone. Old Spcer South
had been looking on from the door,
and was now strolling out to meet the
envoy, unarmed.
And the envoy, as he came, held his
hands unnecessarily far away from his

CHAPTER v.

From time to time that day. neigh
bors had ridden up to Spicer South's
stile, and drawn rein for gossip. These
men brought bulletins as to the prog
ress of the hounds, and near sundown,
as a postscript to their information, a
volley of gunshot signals sounded from
a mountain top No word was spoken,
but in common accord the kinsmen
rose from their chairs, and drifted to-
ward their leaning rifles.
They're a-comin hyar." said the
head of the house, CURLY. Samson
ought ter be home. Whar's Tam'rack?"
No one had noticed his absence I'M
til that moment, nor was he to be
found. A few minutes later, Samson's
figure swung into sight, and his uncle
met him at the fence.
Samson, I've done asked we all the
questions I'm a-goin ter ask ye," he
said, but them dawgs is maxim fer
this house. They've jest been sighted
mile below"
Samson nodded.
"Now"-Spicer South's face hard
ened--"I owns down thar ter the road
No man kin cross that fence withouten
I choose ter give him leave. Eff we
wants ter go indoors an stay thar, we
kin do hit-an' no dawg ner no man
hain't a-goin' ter ask ye no questions
But, eff We sees fit ter face hit out, I'd
| love ter prove ter these hyar men tibet
US Souths don't break our word We
done agreed ter this truce. I'd like ter
invite 'em in, an let them damn dawgs
sniff round the feet OF every man in
my house-an' then, when they're
plumb teetotally damn satisfied, I'd
like ter tell EN- all ter go ter hell
Thets the way | feels, but I'm a-goin
ter do jest what ye says"
Lescott did not overhear the con
versation in full, but he saw the old
mans face work with suppressed pas
sion, and he caught Samson's louder
reply.

Spicer, I'm a-goin' ter be a-settin

The Hollmans laughed.

The Lexington man looked up. He

might have a particular grudge?"
"The Souths don't need no parti'lar
grudge, but thar's young Samson
South. He's a wildcat"
"He lives this way?"
"These dogs air a-makin' Decline

speaking. Then he added: 1--WE done

shootin', an claims he kin prove an
alibi."
The Lexington man lighted his pipe,
and poured a drink of red whisky into
a flask cup.
He'd be apt to say that" he COM
mented, "These dogs haven't any
prejudice in the matter. I'll stake my
life on their telling the truth"
An hour later, the group halted
again. The master of hounds mopped
his forehead
Are we still going toward Samson
South's house?" he inquired.
We're about quarter from hit
now, an we hain't never varied from

"Will they be apt to give us

The dogs went forward at trot.

had invariably met hostility with hos
tility, had so willingly courted the acid
test of guilt or innocence.
Days passed uneventfully after that
The kinsmen dispersed to their scat
tered cOves and cabins. Now and
again came rumor that Jesse Purvy
was dying, but always hard on it's
heels came another to the effect that
the obdurate fighter had rallied,
though the doctors held out small en-
couragement Of recovery.
One day Lescott, whose bandaged
arm gave him much pain, but who was
able to get about, was strolling not far
from the house with Samson. They
were following a narrow trail along
the mountain side, and, at sound no
louder than the falling of walnut,
the boy halted and laid a silencing
hand on the painters shoulder Then
followed an unspoken command in his
companions eyes. Lescott sank down
behind rock, cloaked with glistening
rhododendron LEAKAGE, where Samson
had already crouched and become i'm
movable and noiseless. They had
| been there only a short time when
they saw another figure slipping qui-
| city from tree to tree below them.
For a time the mountain boy
watched the figure and the painter
saw his lips draw in a straight line
and his eyes narrow with a CLINT of
| tense hate. Yet, moment later, with
nod to follow, the boy Unexpectedly
rose into view and his features were
absolutely eXpressionless.
"Mornin', JIM" he called.
The sinking stranger whirled with
start and an instructive motion as
though to bring his rife to his shout
der. But, seeing Samsons peaceable
manner, he smiled and his own de-
meanor became friendly.
"Mornin', Samson"
"Kinder stranger in this country,
haint we, JIM" drawled the boy who
lived there, and the question brought
sullen flush to the others cheek
bones.
Jest a-passin' through" he vouch-
safed.
81 reckon ye'd find the wagon road
more handy" suggested Samson.
Some folks might 'spicion we fer
stealin' long through the timber"
The skulking traveller decided to lie
plausibly. He laughed mendaciously
That's the reason, Samson. l was
kinder skeered ter go through this
country in the OPEN"
Samson met his eye steadily and
said slowly:
81 reckon, Jim, hit mought be half
es risky fer We ter walk upstandin'
along Misery es ter go a-crouchin'
Ye thinks we've been a-shadderin' me.

Jim Asberry's face darkened but he
said nothing. There was nothing to
say He was discovered in the enc.
my's country and must accept the
enemy's terms.
