Three prominent farmers of Valley
City, John, Fred and Edward DIETRICH,
were named defendants in a $4,000
damage suit filed this week in COM
mon pleas court by Henry Yost.

accepted job helping in the harvest
ing last August, and was employed
jointly by the three Dietrichs. One day
while engaged in hauling oat bundles
from the field to the barn, the storing
of which was accomplished by means
of a hay and grain sling, the rope on
one of the sings broke, letting a
number Of the oat bundles fall upon
Mr.. Yost, breaking his leg near the
hip.
The bone never properly mended,
according to plaintiffs petition and
he will be cripple for life and un-
able to earn proper wage. Therefore
he asks damages in the sum of 1000.

Nova Bank Robbers Pulled Seville
Job According to Inspector,

The accidental explosion Of nitro

PETITION COMMISSIONERS
FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Work Of Raising the Township Tax
Duplicate Under Way.

If persistence will avail anything
Granger residents certainly will have
an improved road into Medina. This
much was evident on Monday Of this
week when petition bearing names
of about II per. cent Of the abutting
property owners was filed with the
county commissioners, asking that the
road be improved from west line of
Granger township at the intersection
of the Medina Grangerburg road, to
where it connects with the concrete
road, a distance Of 2.53 miles.
Some time ago residents Of the
township asked county commissioners
for this improvement, and commits
sioners passed resolution favoring
the proposition. The fly in the oint-
ment was that Chas. Scanlan, one Of
the commissioners appeared to be
dead set against doing anything, stat
ing that he favored improving the
road running north through Granger
ahead Of anything else. Incidently
this latter improvement would benefit
farm owned by the commissioner,
which brought charges and counter
charges thick and fast. AT the same
time the residents Of the township
sought to have the tax duplicate Of
the county raised enough to allow a
bond issue Of sufficient amount to
Y. Allard was appointed this week to
take care Of both improvements. Al.
do the assessing, and an average raise
of five or six dollars an acre was
thought sufficient.
This commissioners refusal to favor
the proposition, however, killed this
resolution, as the law holds that the
decision of the commissioners in res
olutions for road improvements must
I be unanimous.
The next best method was therefore
taken, which resulted in the petition
this week bearing the names Of the
abutting property owners. This forces
! the issue and puts iysup to cominis-
\ sioners who have selected next Mon
Y day as the day when theySwill 90 over
the ground and give the asked for
Improvement the once-over. IA vote
will then be taken on the question, and
should two Of the members favor the

get around the negative vote which
they feel sure will be east by Mr.
Scanlan.

MISTAKE In ENUMERATION

County Auditor George MeNeal re-
ceived word this week from the village
clerk at Lodi that the figures as taken
in the recent school enumeration in
that village contained an error. The
first report credited Lodi with but 413
pupils of school age, which is So less
than it should have been.
The census this year was taken by
girls, and the mistake was not dis
covered until the reports had been
checked over.

By Edgar Rice Burroughs

coming, and rising now to both feets
hyena in each hand, he hurled ons
Of the foaming beasts straight at
the witch-doctor's head. Down went
the two in snarling, biting heap.
Tarzan tossed the second hyena
across the crater, while the first
gnawed at the rotting face Of it's
master; but this did not suit the
ape-man. With kick he sent the
beast bowling after it's companion,
and springing to the side of the
PROSTATE witch doctor, dragged him
to his feet.
Bukawai, still conscious, saw
death, immediate and terrible, in the
cold eyes of his captor, so he turned
upon Tarzan with teeth and nails.
The ape-man shuddered at the proxi-
nifty of that raw face to his. The
hyenas had had enough and disap+
peared through the small aperture
leading into the cave. Tarzan had
little difficulty in overpowering and
binding Bukawai, Then he led him
to the very tree to which he had been
bound; but in binding Bukawai, Tar
zan saw to it that escape after the
same fashion that he had escaped
would be out Of the question, then
he left him.
As he passed through the winding
corridors and the subterranean apart
ments, Tarzan saw nothing of the
hyenas.
"They will return he said to him-
self.
In the crater between the tower,
ing walls Bukawai, cold with terror,
trembled as with ague.
"They will return!" he cried, his
voice rising to fright-flled shrek,
And they did.
The next complete "Jungle Tale" will
appear Saturday, July 10.

THE END OF BUKAVVAI Sdg ing the @ SHea1 7 of the E Series Bu

second application Tarzan opened
his eyes and looked about.
"Devil-god," cried Bukawai, 81 am
the great witch-doctor. My medicine
is strong. Yours is weak. If it is
not, why do you stay tied here like
goat that is bait for lions?"
Tarzan understood nothing the
witch doctor said, therefore, he did
not reply, but only stared straight
at Bukawai with cold and level
gaze. The hyenas crept up behind
him. He heard them growl; but he
did not even turn his head. He was
beast with a mans brain. The
beast in him refused to show fear
in the face of death which the
man-mind already admitted to be
inevitable.
Bukawai, not yet ready to give his
victim to the beasts, rushed upon the
hyenas with his knob-stick. There
was a short scrimmage in which the
brutes came off second best, as they
always did. Tarzan watched it. He
saw and realized the hatred which
existed between the two animals and

| the hideous semblance of a man.
With the hyenas subdued, Buka-
wal returned to the batting of Tar
zan; but finding that the ape-man
understood nothing he said, the
witch-doctor finally desisted. Then
he withdrew into the corridor and
pulled the lattcework barrier across
the opening. He went back into the
cave and got sleeping mat, which
he brought, to the opening, that he
might lie down and watch the spec
tacle of his revenge in comfort.
The hyenas were sneaking fur
lively around the ape-man. Tarzan
strained at his bonds for a moment,
but soon realized that the rope he had
braided to hold Numa, the lion,
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-07-12

in security, for then the hyenas were
penned in the crater that they might
not sneak upon sleeping Bukawai
in the darkness.
Bukawai returned to the outer cave
mouth, filled vessel with water at
the spring which rose in the little
canyon close at hand and returned to-
ward the pit, The hyenas stood be-
fore the lattice looking hungrily to-
ward Tarzan. They had been fed in
this manner before.
With his water, the witch-doctor
approached Tarzan and threw a por-
tion of the contents of the vessel
in the apeman's face. There was
futterine of the eyelids, and at the
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-07-12

hatred and batfled hunger cleaning
from their savage eyes.
Bukawai stopped and placed his
ear above the ape-man's heart. 1t
still beat. As we'll as his sloughed
features could register pleasure they
did so, but it was not a pretty sight.
At the ape-man's side lay his long,
grass rope. Quickly Bukawai bound
the limp arms behind his prisoners
back, then raised him to one of his
shoulders, for, though Bukawai was
old and diseased, he was still a
strong man. The hyenas fell in be-
hind as the witch doctor set off
toward the cave, and through the
long black corridors they followed as
Bukawai bore his victim into the
bowels of the hills. Through sub
terranean chambers, connected by
w n d ng passageways, Bukawai
staggered with his load. At sud
den turning of the corridor, daylight
flooded them and Bukawai stepped
out into small, circular basin in the
hill, apparently the crater Of an an
cient volcano, one of those which
never reached the dignity of a noun
tain and are little more than lava
trimmed pits close to the earth's sur
face.
Steep walls trimmed the cavity.
The only exit was through the pas
sageway by which Bukawai had en-
tered. A few stunted trees grew
upon the rocky floor. A hundred feet
above could be seen the ragged lips
of this cold, dead mouth of hell.
Bukawai propped Tarzan against
tree and bound him there with his
own grass rope, leaving his hands
free, but securing the knots in such
way that the ape-man could not
reach them, The hyenas skunk to
and fro, growing. Bukawai hated
them and they hated him. He knew
that they but waited for the time
when he should be helpless, or when
their hatred should rise to such a
height as to submerge their cringing
fear of him.
In his own heart was not little
fear of these repulsive creatures,
and because of that fear, Bukawai
always kept the beasts we'll fed
often hunting for them when their
own forages for food failed, but
ever was he cruel to them with the
cruelty of a little brain, diseased
bestial, primitive.
He had had them since they were
puppies. They had known no other
life than that with him. and though
they went abroad to hunt, always
they returned. OF late Bukawai had
come to believe that they returned
not so much from habit as from q
fiendish patience which would sub.
nit to every indignity and pair
rather than forgo the final ven,
geance, and Bukawai needed but
little imagination to picture what
that vengeance would be. Today he
would see for himself what his enc
would be; but another should i'm
personate Bukawai.
When he had trussed Tarzan Sc
curely, Bukawai went back into the
corridor, driving the hyenas aheac

ing lattice Of laced branches, which

'tAe night that BukawA might sieeI

would hold him quite as successfully.
He did not wish to die, but he could
look death in the face now as he had
many times before without quaver.
As he pulled upon the rope he felt
it rub against the small tree about
which it was passed. Like flash
of the cinematograph upon the
screen, a picture was flashed before
his minds eye from the storehouse
of his memory. He saw 1.-THE, boy
ish figure swinging high above the
ground at the end of a rope. He
saw many apes watching from below,
and then he saw the rope part and
the boy hurtle downward toward the
ground. Tarzan smiled. Imme-
diately he commenced to draw the
rope rapidly back and forth across
the tree trunk.
The hyenas, gaining courage, came
closer. They shifted at his legs; but
when he struck at them with his
free arms they skunk off. He knew
that with the growth of hunger they
would attack. Coolly, methodically,
without haste, Tarzan drew the
rope back and forth against the
rough trunk of the small tree.
In the entrance to the cavern
Bukawai fell asleep. He thought it
would be some time before the beasts
gained sufficient courage or hunger
to attack the captive. Their growls
and the cries of the victim would
awaken him. In the meantime he
might as well rest, and he did.
Thus the day wore on, for the
hyenas were not famished, and the
rope with which Tarzan was bound
was a stronger one than that of his
boyhood, which had parted so
quickly to the chafing of the rough
tree bark. Yet, all the while hunger
was growing upon the beasts and the
strands of the grass rope were wear
ing thinner and thinner. Bukawai
slept.
1t was late afternoon before one
of the beasts, irritated by the gnaw-
ing of appetite, made quick, growl-
ing dash at the ape-man. The noise
awoke Bukawai. He sat up quickly
and watched what went on within
the crater. He saw the hungry
hyena charge the man, leaping for
the unprotected throat. He saw
Tarzan reach out and seize the
growing animal, and then he saw
the second beast spring for the
devil-god's shoulder. There was a
mighty heave of the great, smooth
skinned body. Rounded muscles shot
into great, tensed piles beneath the
brown hide-the ape-man surged for
ward with all his weight and all his
great strength-the bonds parted,
and the three were rolling upon the
floor of the crater snarling, swapping
and rending.
Bukawai leaped to his feet. Could
it be that the devil-god was to pre-
vail against his servants? Impos-
sible! The creature was unarmed,
and he was down with two hyenas on
top of him; but Bukawai did not
know Tarzan.
The ape-man fastened his fingers
upon the throat of one of the hyenas
and rose to one knee, though the
other beast tore at him frantically in
an effort to pull him down. With a
single hand Tarzan held the one, and
with the other hand he reached forth
and pulled toward him the second
beast.
And then Bukawai, seeing the bat
tie going against his forces, rushed
forward from the cavern brandish-
ing his knob-stick. Tarzan saw him
