Governor Townsend on Wednes-
day signed the Bottle Law Re-
pealer," passed at the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature, which took
effect at once, and also the Lincoln
Highway bill. On Thursday he
signed the "Resubmission" bill

Court ruling as to whether the
bottle law repeater can properly
take effect before the expiration of
existing licenses, but as yet have
done nothing beyond employing
counsel.

She stood beside the rock from
which the ledge was reached from be-
low, and as if she had just stepped up
into sight. Her rifle was so held in
both hands that it could be fired from
her hip and at such close quarters
with deadly accuracy. AS she stood
with startled eyes fixed on his bag
gard face her slender neck and poised
head were very familiar to De Spain.
And her expression, while 1t reflect
ed her Mortified alarm, did not conceal
her anger and aversion at the sight Of
him. Unaware OF tile forbiddng spec
tacle he presented, Dc Spain, swept by
a brainstorm at the appearance of this

demnation, and felt in no way moved
to argue her verdict. Il SUPPOSE he

as noiselessly as she had come Shaken
~ the discovery she had so unexpect-
adly made, Nan retreated almost pre-
cipitately from the spot. And the
question of what to do worried her as
much as it worried De Spain. The
whole range had been shaken by the
Cnlobasas fight. Even the men in
Morgans gap, supposed to be past
masters of the game played in the
.losed room at Calabasas, had been
stunned by the issue of the few min
ltcs with Jeffries' new man.
Nan, who had heard but one side Of
