On the northern bank of the Tlman.

wagon bridge is a prolongatiOn, be-
comes a country road. forking few
hundred yards from the bridge APP
proach to send one of its branchings
northward among the Little Creek
ranches and another westward up the
right bank of the stream.
At this fork of the road, between
eleven and twelve o'clock of the night
of alarms. Sheriff Harding's party OF
special deputies began to assemble.
Under each mans saddle flap was
slung the regulation weapon of the
West--a scabbarded repeating rifle;
and the small troop punching itself In
the river road looked serviceably mill
tant and businesslike.
An automobile rolled silently down
came to a stand among the horses.
The sheriff drew rein beside the car
and spoke to one of the two occu-
pants:
"Well, Mr.. Smith, we're all here"
GLOW many?" was the curt question.
"Twenty."
"Good. Here is your authority
handing the legal papers to the officer.
Before we 80 in you ought to know
the facts. A few hours ago man
named M'Graw, calling himself depu-
ty United States marshal and cla!m-
ing to be acting under instructions
from Judge Lorching's court in Red
Butte, took possession of our dam and
camp. On the even chance that he
isn't what he claims to be, we are go
ing to arrest him and every man in his
crowd. Are you game for it?'
'I'm game to serve ally papers that
Judge Warmers got he nerve to is
sue" was the big mans reply.
That's the talk; that's what l hoped
to hear you say. Was Stanton arrest
ed?"
~He sure was. Strothers found him
in the Hophra House bar, and the line
of talk he turned loose would have set
wet blanket afre. just the same,
he had to go along with Jimmie and
get himself locked up"
THAT is the first step; now if you're
ready. wen take the next"
! h. ling rode forward and the ad-
vanC began. For the first mile or so
the midnight silence was unbroken
save by the subdued progress noises
and the murmunAgs of the nearby
river in its bed Once Smith took the
wheel while Starbuck rolled aD1 light
ed cigarette. 1t was Starbuck who
harked back to the talk which had
been so abruptly broken off.

goes to bed. I'll telephone While you're
getting q car"
Starbuck had no farther to go than
TO the garage where he had put up his
car, and when he got it and drove to
the Kinzie building, Smith came out of
the shadow of the entrance to mount
beside him.
"Drive around TO the garage again
and let me try another Phone" was
the low-spoken request. my wire
isn't working"
The short run was quickly made,
and Smith went to the garage Office
A moment later a acknowledgement
policeman strolled up to put a huge
foot on the running board of the wait
ing auto. Starbuck greeted him as a
friend.
Hello, Mac. How's tricks with you
tonight?"
9TH tricks are even, an I'm tryin'
to take tn odd wan" said the big Irish
man. "Tis a man named Smith I'm
lookin' for, Misther Starbuck-J. Mon
tay-gue Smith; tn fi-nanshal boss av
tn big ditch comp'ny. Have We seen

Starbuck, looking over the police
mans shoulder, could see Smith at
the telephone in the garage Office. An
other man might have lost his head,
but the ex-cowpuncher was of the
chosen few whose wits sharpen hand
lily in an emergency.
"He hangs out at the Hophra House
a good part of the time in the eve
nings." he replied coolly. Hop in and
XII drive you around"
Three minutes later the threatening
danger was a danger pushed little
way into the future, and Starbuck was
back at the garage curb waiting for
Smith to como out. Through the win
dow he saw Smith placing the receiver
on its hook, and a moment sfterward
he was opening the car door for his
passenger.
did you make out to raise the
judge?" he inquired, as Smith climbed
in.
"Yes. He will meet me at his cham
bers in the courthouse as soon as he
can drive down from his house."
what are your hoping to do, John?
Judge Warner is only circuit judge;
he can't set an order of the United
States court aside, can hep"

sides, there is nowhere to run to in
this direction"
Again Starbuck's reply translated
itself into action. With a skillful
touch of the controls he sent the car
ahead at top speed, and for a matter
of ten miles or more held a dimin-
ishing lead in the race through sheer
good driving and an accurate knowl-
edge of the road and it's twistings and
turnings. But the road would soon
become a cart track in the mountains;
there was no outlet to the north save
by means of the railroad bridge at
Little Butte station, and from some
where up the valley and beyond the
railroad bridge came the distance
softened whistle of a train.
Starbuck set a high mark for him
self as a courageous driver of motor
cars when he came to the last of the
three road crossings. Jerking the car
around sharply at the instant of track
crossing, he headed straight out over
the ties for the railroad bridge. 1t
was a counting of death. To drive
the bridge at racing speed was haz-
ardous enough, but to drive it thus in
the face of downcoming train seemed
nothing less than madness.
1t was after the car had shot into
the first of the three bridge spans
that the pursuers pulled up and
opened fire. Starbuck bent lower over
his wheel, and Smith clutched for
handholds. Far up the track on the
north side of the river a headlight
flashed in the darkness, and the
hoarse blast of a locomotive, whistling
for the bridge, echoed and re-echoed
among the hills.
Starbuck drove for his life. With
the bridge fairly crossed, he found
himself on a high embankment; and
the oncoming train was now less than
half a mile away. Somewhere be-
yond the bridge approach there was a
road; so much Starbuck could recall.
If they could reach its crossing before
the collision should come
They did reach it, by what seemed
to Smith margin OF no more than the
length of the heavy freight train
which went jangling past them a seant
second or so after the car had been
wrenched aside into the obscure mesa
road. They had gone rIile or more

river detour nefore Starbuck cut the
speed and turned the wheel over to
his seat-mate.

Alfalfa, clover, beans, peas and the

add more nitrogen to the soil than
they remove.

WHY RAISE LIVE STOCK?

Because the by-products Of
live stock are from year to year
advancing In prices and promise
to continue to In advance.
Among them are wool and hides.
Because no permanent system
of agriculture Is likely tc be
adopted If the farmer does not
base that on the growing Of live
stock, in part. 1t Is the lack Of
permanent system that has led
to the exhaustion Of our soil,
both as to it's plant food and as
TO its hUmus.
Because the raising of live
stock enables the farmer to util-
ize his pastures, which, rightly
handled, are among the most
profitable acres on his farm.

Extensive use of automobiles in
Wayne county will result in summer
and winter roads being built between
Richmond and the smaller towns near
by within the next ten years, County
Surveyor Horton and Road Superin-
tendent Jones predicted today. An in
creasing demand for such high ways
has been noted among the residents
and tax payers of the county.
Summer and winter. roads have
twelve foot Tarvia bound crushed
stone centers laid between six-foot
graveled sides. The cost of construct
ion is about $4,000 a mile. The main
tenance cost is very small.
They are called summer and win
ter" roads because during the disagree
able weather when traffic is light, all
vehicles can find room on the solid
stone center while the gravel sides
care for increased traffic in summer.
ARTERY" Roads Unimproved.
1t was estimated that there are
about ninety-six miles Of unimproved
artery" roads leading into Richmond.
These are the Hagerstown pike to the
Henry county line, IS miles; Williams
burg and Economy pike extending to
the Randolph county line, Is miles;
Fountain City road extending to the
Randolph county line, miles; White
water and Bethel pike, 10 miles; New
Paris pike, miles; Boston pike, the
principal road to Cincinnati, z miles;
Connersville pike, from National road
Cambridge City, to the Fayette county
line, Z miles; Centerville and Williams
burg pike, starting at Abingdon cross
ing National road, "a miles; Richmond
and Liberty pike from Wayne town
ship line to Union county line, S miles.
The foregoing figures represent the
parts of the mentioned highways
which are not improved.
These summer and winter" roads
could be built under the direction of
the county highway department, large
ly with prison labor. The department
now has all necessary tools. A slight
ly increased appropriation by the COM
missioners would make the improve
ments possible.
Stone Crusher is Considered.
1t was suggested that if stone
crusher were purchased by the county,
enough stone could be prepared by
prison labor during winter months to
improve several miles of road in the
summer.

CHRISTIE CITES
NEED FOR MORE
CHURCH ACTION

Prof G. I. Christie, Purdue univers-
.ty, speaking before the Rural Church
Workers Conference at Earlham last
night said in part:
Indiana offers great opportunity for
people in the rural community to
make money This is an important
factor at this time when industries of
all kinds are springing up and with
their rapid and complex development
demand strong men to carry forward
the wark The call from these indus
tries to young men Of the farm Is
strong and insistent Large financial
returns are promised, In many cases
the dollar is the determining factor.
Farm Offers Inducements.
To meet this inducement from the
farm offers financial returns with
other equal II not greater rewards. 1t
Is perhaps not desirable that all people
born on the farm remain on tlu' farm.
but 1t is absolutely necessary If the
farms are to be kept in a state of
high productivity and made to pro-
duce so as to meet the demands of the
people Of the country that fair share
of the bright boys and girls shall re-
main to direct the activities Of the
farm and the farm home.
There is great opportunity for the
schools to touch the life of the com.
munity and organize the people for
larger and more progressive work.
Provision should be made for the
teaching of agriculture, domestic
science and manual training.
1t is also possible and desirable to
engage the teachers of Agriculture and
Home Economics on twelve months
basis.
Community Life Develops.
Another opportunity which presents
itself to Indiana people is that for
building strong and rich community
life. In this work the rural church
plays prominent part. Here must be
found people who believe in taking
the money made from the farms to
build better roads. better schools, bet
ter churches and better homes and to
secure for the people such amuse-
ments. recreation and education that
build for happy, satisfied life The
church serves to place the commun-
ity on a high moral plane. molds the
view point OF the people so that they
realize their relationship to,each other
and to the various problems in way
that they fulfill to a higher degree the
requirements that men live together
as brothers.

why are the young people not in
the church? One reason is the adults
are not in the church.
"A second reason is that the church
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-02-21

has failed to contribute to the social
and recreational needs of young peo-
pie.
Again there is lack of cooperation
between denominations. In many In
stances there is open hostility. This
is true even of congregations.
The church fails to reach young
people in many cases because saliva
tion is preached as a means of escap-
ing eternal punishment and not as a
preparation for service.
There must be the fullest ard most
