SimpkinS had drawn his revolver
and was in the act of firing. With not
second to lose, Davis hurled the bot
tie at him, and as the heavy glass
missile landed full in the superlntend-
ents face. the latter reeled backward
and dropped to the floor. But quick
as cat he was upon his feet again,
and seeing his opponent advancing
upon him, and with no time to regain
the revolver which had flown from his
hand. the murderous-minded one turn
ed and fled with John in hot pursuit.
Mortally in fear of his antagonist
now that his revolver was gone, Simp-
kins ran with the agility of an ape.
Bounding up flight of stairs he reach
ed the room above. where springing
upon table he threw up trap which
led to the roof above and pulled him
self through. John, close at his heels,
was in the act of following when the
one upon the roof slammed the trap
door down. For a moment ensued
struggle between the one above and
the one below. then with violent eff
fort John hurled the door aside and
leaped upon the roof of the building.
Simpkins, at bay and desperate, rush.
ed at him like a cornered rat.
They closed in hand to hand COM

John knocked his antagonist fiat, but
such was the vitality and toughness
of the man that each time he leaped
to his feet and renewed the battle as
fiercely as before. BY lucky blow up
on Davis chin the villain staggered
him back, and selling advantage of
the seconds opportunity this gave him,
the superintendent whipped a knife
from his pocket and rushed In with
savage sweep of the weapon. Bare
ly In time John caught his wrist, and
then ensued silent but desperate
battle to a finish between an unarmed
man and a foe nearly as powerful
who possessed deadly weapon. From
edge to edge of the roof they fought
for the mastery, with the issue ever
in doubt John, his clothing slashed in
dozen places, still managed to divert
the keen blade from his body. and
finally securing hold that gave him
the necessary leverage. raised the 9TH
er high in air. Poising him for an
instant while he gathered all his re-
naming strength, he sent the writh-
ing squealing would-be assassin flying
headlong through the air and over the
edge.

worthy collapsed upon the deck Paus-
/ ing only long enough to see the effect
of his blow. John grabbed the painter
of the dingey which the Sarah ].
was towing, leaped into it, and cut
ting the painter got out the oars and
began rowing desperately for the shore
just as the mate and several of the
crew came running aft.
! The smitten skipper arose to his
feet roaring.
Lower boat and get after that
man, or I'll skin every jack of Won
alive" Climbing into the quarterboat
and with four seamen at the oars. ia
cobs seized the tiller and the pursuit
began.
Rowing his best, the escaped one
saw that he could not hope to hold
his own with the four oarsmen who
were so hotly pursuing him. That he
would soon be overhauled and taken
back to the schooner to be grossly
manhandled and carried to he knew
not what foreign port, was fact that
became more and more apparent each
moment as the distance between the
two flying craft swiftly diminished.
Driven to desperation, John decided
upon a ruse which If successful might
put the advantage upon his side.
Abruptly he ceased rowing.
Thinking that the fugitive had recog-
nized the impossibility of escape and
resigned himself to the inevitable,
Captain Jacobs ordered his men to
cease rowing and hold their oars per-
pendicularly that he might swing the
quarterboat alongside the dingey. As
the four seamen obeyed and the skip
per with sweep of the rudder brought
his craft within few feet of the
now listlessly floating boat of John,
the latter leaped to his feet, boat
hook in hands.
Two vicious sweeps of the iron tip
ped hook he made, and before those
savage blows the upraised oars of the
quarter boat went down with crash
as saplings fall before a hurricane.
Two were snapped off at the blade,
one knocked into the water and the
fourth badly splintered. Throwing
down the boat hook and resuming his
oars John with parting laugh swept
on his way. leaving his enemies raging
impotently with no means of propel-
ling their craft in pursuit. Fifteen
minutes later he was debarking at the
spot where he had been landed by the
caretaker, and wiping the perspiration
from his brow started for the Water
side saloon. With his blood thorough
ly aroused by the treatment he had re-
ceived from Simpkins, he had no idea
of leaving the place until he had set
tied accounts with that vile scoundrel.
Opening the door of the place with
swift push, Davis looked within.
Simpkins was at the bar drinking with
the barkeeper, the others who had
taken place In the assault having left
the place. AS the returned one step
ped over the threshold the superin-
tendent. uttering a curse, took step
back and began tugging at his re-
volver. while at the same instant the
barkeeper reached beneath the coun-
ter for his weapon. Quick as flash
the incomer snatched a bottle from
! the bar. Before its blow the saloon
man went down with crash and lay
prone, and with one enemy disposed
of, John wheeled upon the other

CLOVIS MAY GET
!. FEDERAL BUILDING

There is a general feeling that Clo-
Wis is going to have federal building
one Of these days. The postoffce is
cramped in its present location and no
doubt could use bigger quarters to a
much better advantage. Right along
with new government building we
should have free delivery as the re-
ceipts Of the office have for a long
time been enough to justify this con-
venience.
Postmaster A. B. Wagner this
week received an enquiry from the
First Assistant Postmaster General
relative to the amount of business
handled here now, the amount hand
led ten years ago and an estimate Of
what increase could be expected dur
ing the next few years. The depart
ment also made requests in regard to
property values and other matters
that would indicate that Clovis has
good chance to get federal build
ing sometime in the future. These
things take time, but it is almost GER
tain in years to come we will get an
appropriation for a new postoffce
building here.
The stamp sales from the Clovis
office for the year ending March 81,
1919, were $24,12345. Each year
for the past several years has seen
an increase in the receiptssof the Of
flee here and with more sidewalks and
street crossings, Clovis could easily
get free city mail delivery.

SENATOR FALL AGAINST
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, June 30.--The league
Of rations was attacked in the senate
to-day by Senator Fall, republican,
New Mexico, as a proposal to scrap
the American constitution" and was
defended by Senator Gerry, demo-
crat, Of Rhode Island, as a necessity
TO protect American rights. Mr.. Fall,

committee, described the treaty with
Germany as not a treaty Of peace,
but treaty Of alliance, and asserted
he could not vote to ratify il without

Mr.. Gerry, who recently returned
from tour Of European countries,
said the treaty represented the appeal
Of the millions Of Europe for Ameri-
can cooperation in bringing a new
day Of peace.
