Meeting Called to Order


 trict court room. It was opened a few minutes after ? o'clock by Judge Bunnen. who explained the reason tor the calling together of the de positors and read from the session laws of 1913 the law pertaining to bank receiyerships. The law says that those representing more than fifty per cent of the clains against t defunct bank shall agree in writ ing on who shall be recommended to the court for appointment as per reason why the petitions for the several candidates were decided on by the meeting, in view of the fact that but approximately 10000 of the claims against the bank were represented at the meeting.
 Continuing his talk, Judge Bunnell stated that he had instructed the temporary receiver to prepare several lists. One was a list of creditors of the defunct bank, numbering 552. Of this number 180 of the accounts represent sums of from one cent to s5, which accounts have remained undsturbed for a number of years
 
 counts. Another list containing the names, but not the amounts owed, of those who have notes in the bank, had also been prepared, as had still another list of those who had over drawn their respective accounts. Then there was a list of amounts of money due to the bank from core spondent banks and still another list of amounts due correspondent banks by the defunct institution. The final summary fo the affairs of the bank shows that the liabilities Of the in- stitution are s136,855.34, and that the resources are s24,731.99. The lat ter item includes cash and gold bull lion, and the amount due from other banks. None of the property of the defunct bank nor the notes or other securities, are included in the state ment of resources. The notes listed number Seventy-three.
 Judge Bunnell closed his remark by stating that the interests of the creditors of the defunct bank were in keeping with the duties which the court has to perform He also stat ed that he thinks the expense in volved in winding up the affairs of the bank should be kept down as much as possible, telling the credit ors that it was their place to nomi- nate candidate for the receiver ship, to fix his compensation one agreeable to both candidate and cred itors alike, and then to recommend the candidate for appointment to the receivership.
 In response to a question Judge Bunnell also stated before retiring that he knows of no law of record which says anything regarding wheth- CT or not a receiver shall be ap- pointed from the ranks of the stock holders or creditors of defunct bank
 The Meeting.

unusually tall figure. When it ap-
peared nearer he was seen to be walk
ing with both arms raised, hands high.
He slowed his stride.
Does Burt Jones live here?" he
asked, in low, hurried voice.
Il reckon. I'm Burt. What can 1
do for your" replied Jones.
The stranger peered around, stealth
lily came closer, still with his hands up.
'It is known that Buck Duane is
here. Captain MacNelly's camping on
the river just out of town. He sends
word to Duane to come out there after
dark"
The stranger wheeled and departed
as swiftly and strangely as he had
come.
Bust me! Duane, whatever do you
make of that?" exclaimed Jones.
"a new one on me-" replied Duane,
thoughtfully.
First fool thing ] ever heard of
MacNelly doing. Can't make head nor
tails of 1t. I'd have said off-hand
that MacNelly wouldn't double-cross
anybody. He struck me square man,
sand all through. But hell! he must
mean treachery. 1 can't see anything
else in that deal"
Maybe the Captain wants to give
me fair chance to surrender without
bloodshed," observed Duane. "Pretty
decent of him, if he meant that"
"He invites you to come to his camp
after dark. Something strange about
this, Duane. But MacNelly's a new
man out here. He does some queer
things. Perhaps he's getting swelled
head. Well, whatever his intentions,
his presence around Mercer is enough
for US. Duane, you hit the road and
put some miles between you and the
amiable Captain before daylight. To-
morrow I'll go out there and ask him
what in the devil he meant"
THAT messenger he sent-he was a
ranger" said Duane.
Sure he was, and a nervy one! 1t
must have taken sand to come bracing
you that way. Duane, the fellow
didn't pack a gun. I'll swear to that
Pretty odd, this trick. But you can't
trust it. Hit the road, Duane"
A little later a black horse with
muffied hoofs, bearing tall dark rider
who peered keenly into every shadow,
trotted down pasture lane back OF
Jones' house, turned into the road
and then, breaking into swifter gait,
rapidly left Mercer behind.

CHAPTER XII.

Next morning Duane was Off again,
days he paid brief visits to several
villages that lay in his path. And in
each some particular friend had q
piece of news to impart that made
Duane profoundly thoughtful. A
ranger had made a quiet, unobtrusive
call upon these friends and left this
message, "Tell Buck Duane to ride
into Captain MacNelly's camp some
time after night"
Duane concluded, and his friends all
agreed with him, that the new rangers
main purpose in the Nueces country
was to capture or kill Buck Duane,
and that this message was simply an
original and striking ruse, the daring
of which might appeal to certain out
laws.
But 1t did not appeal to Duane. His
curiosity was aroused; 1t did not, how
ever, tempt him to any foolhardy act.
He turned southwest and rode hun
dred miles until he again reached the
sparsely settled country. Here he
heard no more of rangers.
He got into rough country, rode for
three days without covering much
ground, but believed that he was get
ting on safer territory. Twice he came
to a wide bottom-land green with will
low and cottonwood and thick as
chaparral, somewhere through the
middle of which ran a river he de-
cided must be the lower Nueces.
One evening as he stole out from
covert where he had camped, he saw
the lights Of village. He tried to
pass it on the left but as he mounted
ridge he noted that the road made a
sharp turn. and he could not see what
was beyond 1t. He slowed up and
was making the. turn, which was down
hill between high banks of yellow
clay, when his mettlesome horse heard
something to frighten him or SHE'D at
something and bolted.
The few bounds he took before
Duane's iron arm checked him were
enough to reach the curve. One
flashing glance showed Duane the open
once more, a little valley below with a
wide, shallow, rocky stream, a clump
of cottonwoods beyond, somber
group of men facing him, and two
dark, limp strangely grotesque figures
hanging from branches.
The sight was common enough In
southwest Texas, but Duane had never
before found himself so unpleasantly
close.
A hoarse voice pealed out: by hell !
there's another oner
Stranger, ride down an account fer
yourself" yelled another,
"Hands-up"
Thet's right, Jack; don't take no
chances. Plug him |"
These remarks were so swiftly ut
tered as almost to be continuous,
Duane was wheeling his horse when a
rifle cracked. The bullet struck his
left forearm and he thought broke 1t,
for he dropped the rein. The frighten-

Looping along in his rear. He paid M
more attention to them, and with teeth
set he faced ahead, grimmer now In
his determination to foil them.
Sight of the village ahead surprised
Duane. He reached 1t sooner than he
expected. Then he made discovery
he had entered the zone of wire fences.
AS he dared not turn back now. he
kept on, intending to ride through the
village. Looking backward, he saw
that his pursuers were half a mile
distant, too far to alarm any villagers
in time to intercept him In his flight.
AS he rode by the first i.3uses his
horse broke and began to labor.
Duane did not believe he would last
long enough to go through the village.
Saddled horses in front OF a store
