KILLED SEEKING TO ESCAPE
How General Morgan, Famous Confed-
crate Raider, Ended His Long
Series of Forays.

In December, 1868, Longstreet, who
had been conducting an active cam
paign in Tennessee, returned into Viz
GINA, leaving the noted guerrilla, Col
John II. Morgan, to carry on the strug-
gle in East Tennessee. December ~
there was a fight between General
Sturgis and Morgan-the latter having
an army of about 6.O00-near New
Market. in which Morgan was defeat
ed. In another fight January 10. 1864.
Morgan made the attack and Sturgis
was driven back to Strawberry Plains.
Morgan fingered in East Tennessee
until May, and late in the month, with
a small band of men, he went over the
mountains and raided through eastern
Kentucky, plundering the wealthy as
trict as he went through. lie cap
tured several small towns, dashed into
Lexington, burning the railway sta
ton and other property there. and 1ur'
ried on to Frankfort. But General
Burbridge was in pursuit. and came
up with Morgan's men near Cynthiana'
and in the fight which followed. Nor
gan lost 200 in k''led and wounded, 400
prisoners. and 1000 horses captured
Morgan now retreated into East Ten
nessee. In September he had his force
at Greenville, and Morgan himself
and his staff were at the house oil a
| Mrs. Williams. General Gillem, with
troops. surrounded the house, and
Morgan was killed while trying to es'
cape. His body was sent through the
lines by a flag of truce, and was bur
led with imposing ceremonies at Alb
ingdon, Va.

CHAPTER xxxlv--cOntInued.


A hard light came into ak eyes.
Gerry felt himself suddenly alone. He
went doggedly on. He told OF the
chase and the capture, of how he and
the girl had seen the canoe drift out
into the clutch OF the eddy and swirl
out into the river and away. He told
her OF how they laughed and AK
shrank. Gerry paused, his brow puck
cred. He wished he could tell in words
the battle OF his spirit, the utter ruin
az his downfall. He could not and in
stead ne sighed.
There was something in that sigh so
eloquent Of defeated expression that it
succeeded where words might have
failed. II called to Alix with the
strong call of helpless things. 1t drew
back her mind to Gerry. With him
and the girl she threaded the path to
Fa2enda Flores. Its ruin sprang upon
her through his eyes. With him she
discovered the traces of an ancient
ditch, with him and the old darby she
dug along that line through long, hot
months. She grew to know Lieber as
the tale went on and finally to love
him because of all things Lieber
seemed to need love - somebody
else's love-most she amused herself
with Kemp and his drawl. she tried

AS ne finished telling of the coming
of the Man. Gerry stopped short. The
thought came to him with tremendous
force that Alix too had gone through
that for him. The impulse to get UP
and throw himself before her and OH
his knees to thank her almost tore him
from his seat but he fought it down
He hurried on with his story. He told
OF the coming of Alan and OF the reve
lation he had brought. And then in
choked voice and only because he had
set himself 10 tell the whole truth ht
pictured the flood. the death Of True
Blue, and the overwhelming by The
waters before his very eyes Of Mar
garita and the Man. Then he arose
and with hands braced on the table
leaned towards Alix. II have told yoi
this so that perhaps you may under
stand what am going to tell you now
If the flood had not come-if Margaret;
and the Man had lived-I would no
have come back"
Alix sat very still and studied
Gerry's face. He had finished the tasl
he had set himself to do and he wa
suddenly very tired. His eyes droppet
as though from their own weight ant
then he raised them again to her in
scrutable face.

Gerry smiled and waited. Soon Alix

FARMERS MAY BUILD
WHEAT ELEVATOR

At the annual meeting of the Nor
row County Farmers Union in this
city last week, the plan for con-
structing wheat elevator in Hepp-
ner this year, was discussed with SER
iousness.
The farmer is compelled to pay
12R cents for sacks at the present
time and he looks to the future with
apprehension for as harvest time
draws near, he knows that the price
of grain bags invariably goes higher.
The Union has a committee working
on the elevator plan and they will
report the success of their investiga-
tions at later date.
A committee was also appointed
to take care of the arrangements for
the annual picnic. Since they have
received an invitation to hold their
picnic in Heppner this year, and
since the two former affairs were
held in Lexington and lone respect
lively, it is likely that Heppner will
be host this time.
Owing to adverst weather condi-
tions the annual meeting was not as
well attended as former meetings.
