Since the recent rain had rendered
the black valley roads impossible for
automobiles. Dave decided to go to
Pueblo by rail. even though it was q
roundabout way. and that afternoon
found him jolting W. the lcisurc1y

honor and discretion, Dave unburdencd
himself with the ut,ncst freedom re-
garding his suspicious of Ed Austin.
Ellsworth nodded. eyes. Ed has

use to I'll arms and supplies in this

are so friendly. Urbina is probably

"Dc you think Ed would pcrjure

"IIe has gone clean to the bad late

hate to see you crowd him, Dave"
"Thcy call you the best lawyer in

at this. swell, here's a chance for you
to do the county a good turn and keep
Ed Austin out Of trouble"
"How?'

"Well?"
"He intends to cinch Urbina, on Ri

friend of Austin's; you'd better tip him
to set his watch ahead a few hours and
save himself a lot of trouble. The

CHAPTER Vll.-continued.

The mist and NJ early dusk prevent
ed him from seeing Las Palmas itself
until he was we'll in among the irri-
gated fields. A few moments later,
when he rode up to the outbuildings,
he encountered a middle-aged Mexican,
who proved to be Benito Gonzalez, the
range boss.
Dave made himself known, and Be-
nitO answered his questions with ap-
parent honesty. No, he had seer moth
ing OF a sorrel horse or q strange rider,
but he had just come in himself.
Doubtless they could learn more from
Juan, the horse-wrangler, who was
somewhere about.
Juan was finally found, but he
proved strangely recalcitrant. He ad-
mittcd that he had seen a horse Of
the description given. Probably it be-
longed to some stranger.
Dave changed his tactics. "Oiga !" he
said, stcrnly. do you want to go to
jail?" Juan had no such desire. "Then
tell the truth. Where is the horse
nOw?"
Juan insolently declared he didn't
know and didn't care.
"Oh, you don't, eh?" Law reached
for the boy, and shook him until he
yelled. "You will make a nice little
prisoner, Juanito, and we shall find a
way to make you speak,"
Gonzalez was inclined to resent such
high-handed treatment of his under
ling, but respect for the Rangers was
deep-rooted, and Juan's behavior was
inexplicable.
At last the horseboy confessed. He
had seen both horse and rider, but
knew neither. Mr.. Austin and the
stranger had arrived together, and the
latter had gone on. That was the
truth.
"Bueno" Law released his prisoner,
who skunk away rubbing his shoulder.

A voice answered from the dusk

When the Ranger had gone, Gonza-

with his head bowed thoughtfully.

WE'LL KNOWN RESIDENT DEAF

William Henry Wade, for more than
thirty years a resident of Kenosha
died at his home on Grant street short
ly after noon on Monday. Death was
due to a complication of diseases which
had made the aged citizen an invalid
for the past two years. The end came
quietly and not Unexpectedly.
William Henry Wade at the time OF
his demise was sixty-three years old
More than forty years of this time had
been lived in Wisconsin and some thirty
in Kenosha. A carpenter by trade, he
was known to a wide circle of business
men and friends by reason of the eff
fciency of his work and the unfailing
good humor of his disposition. A wife
and six children survive him. The
children all of whom are residents OF
Kenosha, include: Mrs. John Defrang
George B. Wade, Mrs. Edward Roders
John B. Wade, Nicholas R. Wade
and Miss Gertrude Wade.
The funeral will be held from St
Georges church at 900 O'Clock on
Monday morning. Interment will be
made in the family plot in ST.
Georges cemetery.

COMMITTEE on Care of Dependent
Families of Soldiers and Sailors-W. J.
Frost, chairman. The activities of this
committee at the present time are not
large, but notwithstanding every at
tempt is being made to limit our armed
forces to those having no dependents
there win be many worthy cases for
assistance, and great care has been
taken in selecting this committee which
viii be called upon to use more than
ordinary judgment in passing upon the
merits of each case, working in con
junction with the state law for relief
and other societies who are expected
to actively interest themselves in this
particula- work.
"The American Red Cross is incor-
porated by act of congress to furnish
volunteer aid to the sick and wounded
OF armies in time of war, to act in all
matters Of relief and to perform all
other duties in accordance with the
spirit and conditions of the treaty of
Geneva. The patriotism and generosity
OF the people is to be put to thorough
test. Our soldiers and sailors will
shortly be called upon to fight on a
front more than 5000 miles from our
shores. Unlike their British and
French comrades, they VII. have no op-
portunity to obtain Burroughs or leave
OF absence. To insure the efficiency of
the men they must be encouraged and
made to feel that we at home are with
them in spirit. Not only must the sick
and wounded have every want sup
pl1ed-the fighting men must be kept
ut by supplies for use when off duty.
Every man, woman and child must
be encouraged to strain every nerve 90
that in working together as a rait the
entire ability of the people of Kenosha
county may take an important part in
assisting the Red Cross in serving the
men IN the field and at the front. -
Alfred Terrell, chairman of the Keno
sha County Chapter.
Thus effectively organized for every
department of service the Red Cross
chapter will now begin new era in
its history. In the near future it will
launch an enormous membership cam
palgn intended to enlist every person in
Kenosha in the cause of country and
humanity. The county, too, will re-
celve vital consideration. The work of
the auxiliary committee will be con.
t1nued until branch organizations have

secure membership of twenty. In
this way city and county will unite to
perform conspicuous service for free.

The words Of the popular song have
been impressively illustrated by Rev.
/. W. Corey of this city who received
word on Monday that second son had
been awarded the shoulder-straps and
was now ready to ssmarch beside his
brother" in Uncle Sam s battalions of
liberty and truth. Ralph Corey, the min
ister's elder son was commissioned a
second lieutenant in the Quartermaster S
Corps as a result of ability displayed in
the Officers Training Camp at Fort
Sheridan, while his younger brother,
Myron L. Corey, was winning a cap
taincy at Madison Barracks, New York.
Rev. Corey had expected his boys to be
commissioned but it more than gratified
that one of them reached so early the
commanding position of captain. The
success of both sons reflects great credit
upon a home training, which has appar-
emily given them only the highest ideals
OF patriotism and efficiency.

have done so much to advance the wei
fare Of the club. It took money to
build the splendid pavilion that adorns
the grounds at Paddock IS Lake and of
fers shelter to the thousands that come
to the annual picnic. Had it not been
for the generosity of Hon. 2. G. Sim
mons, who had never turned deaf
ear to the needs of the club, it is
doubtful if so splendid pavilion
would today be at the service of the
club. After the additional land was
secured and the pavilion erected there
was room enough for thirty times the
number which gathered at the first
Paddoc-1's Lake meeting.
To get old and young to come to the
yearly gatherings took careful, consci-
entious endeavor on the part of one
man, r. F. Roberts. He worked in
cessantly to secure speakers Of state
wide fame to address those who were
interested In topics of general interest
He worked just as hard to provide
amusement for those who did not care
to listen to the orator of the day. His
was no easy task, yet all who have seen
the club picnic steadily advance from
the three hundred to the six thousand
mark, know how well his work has
been done. Mr. Roberts did more than
any one man in Kenosha county to adj
vance the interests of the club. He
was elected secretary in 1889 and
served continuously to the time Of his
death, April 25th, 1907. G. M.
Bishop has held this office. since the
death of Mr.. Roberts. The club has
been most fortunate in securing as
speakers at different gatherings Cover
nor Geo. Peck, Robert LaFollette, Gov
ernor Phillip; also Hon. Henry A
Cooper, a public man whose name on
any program attracts people from far
and near. Tt is the expectation of
the club that this meeting will eclipse
all former ones.
