Upon the Monday following, Stella
stood for tho first time in "a fierce

shut off partially her vision of the
rows and rows OF faces. She went
on with n horrible slacl<ness in her

would sing or fly. When she had

Briefly. Monohan, under the firm
name of the Abbey-Monohan Timber
Company. was suing Fyfe for heavy
damages for the loss OF certain
booms OF logs blown up and set
adrift at the mouth OF the Tyee
River. There was appended an ac-
count of the clash over the closed
channel and the killing OF Billy Dale.
