The Tomahawk., 1917-05-17

ow Of the trees, Johnson went for
ward with his famous "Pussyfoot'
tread, until he saw three men and
three women grouped about the fire.
A large tin coffee pot was bubbling
upon a glowing log, and the smell OF
sizzling fish in frying pan suggested
to the sleuth his course of action.
He knew that the murderer would re-
sist capture to the utmost of his ab1l-
ity, and the situation was difficult
one. Few men would have tackled 1t
single-handed, as Johnson did.
Assuming his amiable but deceiving
smile-afterward famous as the safe
cracking smile," from the fact that he
generally wore it when welding his
ak or sledge-hammer-Johnson ad-
vanced boldly toward the group OF
men and women.
AS he advanced he was able to pick
out, from their resemblance to the
photographs, Harris and his STEP
daughter, at once He saw the six
start and glance nervously toward
him.
"Got any fish to sell?" asked John
son. "We're camped along the river,
and we came away without our fishing
gear. They told me at the camp be-
low that you had had a good catch"
"How much do you want?" growled
Harris, looking at Johnson sus-
piciously.
Johnson began to dicker, and, while
doing so. he took hasty survey OF
his bearings. A tent stood behind the
outlaws, and he surmised that their
shotguns were undoubtedly hidden in
side. AS he chartered, he advanced
until he stood in the middle Of the
group; then he cautiously edged
around until he stood between them
and the tent. Then he suddenly
whipped his Colt automatic out Of his
pocket.
"Throw up your hands," he shouted.
Without a moments hesitation six
pairs of hands went up In the air
and stayed up. Johnson smiled; then
he whistled sharply, and, to the fur
ther CONSERVATION of the camping
party, the ferryman came out Of the
bushes at run, armed with the
farmers double-barreled shotgun, with
which he at once covered the party.
Johnson turned to the pair he was
seeking. "You are John Harris. And

what was your occupation before you
joined upT
It appeared the recruit had been
in the toy trade-a packer Of toys. His
Job was to pack toy soldiers into card
board boxes. He had been dismissed
by the firm.
"Why, exactly, did they fire you, my
MANI" asked the other.
'"They fired me-" answered the re-
cruit, deliberately, "for a good and, as
I see now, a very sufficient reason. I
put too many hloomin' sergeants in

stream, the ferryman contr1ved to run
it upon q. mud bank, and the united
efforts of the two were unable to get
it of again.
The ferryman had his horse in the
boat and, leaving the boat where 1t
had stranded, the two leaped their
steeds into the river and, plunging In
after them, led them ashore through
the shallow water until at last they
stood upon the opposite shore.
There they mounted. 1t was now
twilight, and the dense underground
made riding impossible after they had
traversed a few dozen yards. They
were compelled to dismount and lead
their horses again, pushing aside the
branches and the dense, tangled
masses Of vegetation that almost con-
cealed the trail. Suddenly they saw
a camp fire in the distance. The fer
rvman, at Johnson's Instructions, re-
mained behind, holding the horses,
while johnson, his revolver in his
hand, went cautiously forward.
The quest was fruitless, for the
camp was occupied by perrectiy re-
spectable hunting party. none Of
whose members in the least resembled
Harris. They told Johnson, however,
that another camp existed further in
the depths Of the thickets. johnson
brought back the news to the ferry
man, and 50 they made their way
forward once again, in almost pitch
black obscurity, until at length the
gloom was dispelled by the leaping
blaze of roaring fire short distance
ahead Of them.
Il guess we've got them now" said
Johnson. tYou stand by and take
charge of the horses, and wait until 1
give you the signal. When I want yoa
I'll whistle. Then leave the horses and
come quickly with your gum"

had forgotten that the ferryboat was
still stranded on the mudbank in the
middle Of the river. Upon the bank
the prisoners were ordered to mount
one of the horses. Johnson and the
ferryman mounted the other, Johnson
covering Harris with his pistol while
his companion linked the two brides
into his hand and guided the horses
into the water. The boat was reached
and the horses embarked, the most
difficult part Of the entire proceeding,
after Harris had been compelled to
jump down into the river and assist
in pushing the boat of the shoal.
Finally the party reached the other
bank.
The ferryman then remembered that
he had another horse loose in pas
ture, and went in search of It, while
Johnson remained covering Harris.

brought it back. The two captives

WATCHING Our Moods.

What Is the source Of the tendency
to grow careless in courtesy-real
heart courtesy towards those one loves
the most. Is it a peculiarly subtle
form Of selfishness? One will strive
hard to give positive happiness to an
other and then spoil it all by careless
~ giving way to a mood Of sullenness
or irritation. Is it not the worst self
ishness to be SO absorbed in details
of ones own comfort as to hurt 9TH
ers? Only by ceaseless watchfulness
can one prevent the growth Of such
hablts.-EdUnrd Howard Griggs.

you are Nora McKeehan!" he an
nounced.
The girl broke down and confessed
her identity, while Harris, glaring at
Johnson in fury and helplessness. al
ternately denied himself and upbraid-
ed his companion for betraying them.
Johnson listened till they had stopped
their recriminauons and then formally
announced that they were under ar
rest for the murder of McKeehan.
Partly to allay the fears of the rest
of the camping party, and more to
smooth over the situation and render
withdrawal possible, Johnson proceed
ed to deliver harangue. He told
them that If they played fair no harm
would come to them, as he did not
want anybody except Harris and his
stepdaughter; but that at the first
crooked move he and his companion
would shoot, and moreover shoot to
kill.
IT am going to the ferry" said John
son. "This man and woman are my
prisoners, and If any attempt is made
to rescue them or to ambush us we
will kill them first and you after
ward"
In fact, it was a ticklish place to be
in. Johnson had little hopes Of escap-
ing either with his prisoners or his
life. The night was dark and In the
tangled underground it would be the
easieet thing in the world to follow
until q favorable opportunity Of shoot
ing presented itself. This was. In
fact, what gave Johnson his reputa-
ton as the shrewdest, 5ustest, wisest,
sandiest man in the Southwest as
he has been described.
Leaving the panic-stricken campers
around their fire, Johnson and the fer.
ryman started back with their two
prisoners along the trail. Not only
were there the prisoners to guard and

THIRD ATTEMPT TO
PUT CENTRAL SPAN
OF BRIDGE IN PLACE

Quebec. Que. Sept. 1.-THE initial
step in the third attempt to place the
central span of the Quebec bridge was
completed today when the great steel
structure. weighing more than 5000
tons, was suspended on the hoisting
links
Two previous attempts TO place the
span have resulted in disaster, with
fatalities. The new piece is $40 feet
in length. When it was placed on the
hoisting links, the cantilever arms
bent ia inches under the enormous
weight, but more than this had been
allowed for. When in place this span
will form the center of the largest
cantilever bridge in the world
Up to l y. m. the span had been
hoisted IL feet. This is only at the
rate OF four feet an hour. but the en-
gineers figure they can lift 1t at the
rate of six feet an hour. Even at this
rate. it will take them up to some time
Wednesday afternoon before the huge
structure will be bolted into place on
the cantilever arms.

Idaho Falls, Sept. 11.--Two years
ago a man named Jones was given an
indeterminate penitentiary sentence
for burglary, being sent from Bonne-
willie county, leaving his wife and four
small sons in this city. A few days
ago Mr.. Jones was discharged and
wrote his wife he would be home on a
certain day. and they would take the
chilren and go somewhere and start
life anew. AS child had been born
to her about two months ago she did
not care to meet him. Asking a neigh
bor to care for the little one for a few
moments while she went down the
street, she left the little one and other
children. The neighbor waited for her
return. but she has not been seen since.
When Mr.. Jones arrived and learned
the situation he took the four boys and
left, saying he would have nothing
more to do with her. The little one
was turned over TO the Home Finding

STANDARD LOAF OF
BREAD PROPOSED

Chicago, Sept IA movement to
standardize the loaf of bread through
out the country was begun here today
at meeting OF the National Associa-
tion Of Master Bakers.
The size and price of the loaf have
not been determined, but definite ac-
tion is expected before the conference
adjourns. Bakers and the food ad-
ministration favor the plan, members
of the association declared.
]. l.. Nicholson of the federal trade
commission, attended today's meeting.
He is investigating costs of the manu-
facture of bread, preliminary to gov
ernment action to regulate the in
dustry.
An increase in the price of bread for
many localities. where bread Is now
selling for less than other sections, will
be the outcome of the investigation,
some bakers believe. Nicholson, how :
ever. refused to comment on this pos
sibility, or discuss his visit in any
way.

WITNESSES TELL OF
ADMISSIONS BY THE
ACCUSED MINISTER

Red Oak, Sept. 1.-THE statement
Lyn George J. Kelly is alleged to have
made to the state agents that he killed
eight persons with an axe at Villisca
in 1912, was not the first made by the
itinerant, unordained minister. This
was brought out this afternoon when
the Kelly trial was resumed here.
w. c. Mcqueen, former deputy at
Sioux Falls 8. D.. who arrested Kelly
in 1914 on some trivial charge testified
that Kelly told him he committed the
murders at Villisca.
According to the witnesses Kelly told
other persons who came to the cell to
see him that he killed the Moore family
and the two Stillinger girls and asked
them how did the Iowans find out I
killed them?
A man who shared cell with Kelly
