success Of their scheme.
1T Is working like charm" he
cried. "They fell for 1t just as | was
sure they would. The sight of that

more than they could stand, SO after

after rabbit. We are rid of them
for little while anyway, and mean

can get them all Off our trail and
maybe quarreling together over the
loot, we can give them the laugh and
beat 1t out Of this neighborhood."
Meantime, Dicks party had com
pleted the new bags and filled them
1 with stone, and these Dick hurled
into the ravine where the real gold
lay. He then placed lngots across the
trail, where the Aztecs would be sure
TO see them, after which all retreatcd
well back into the woods.
1t was not long before Lopez and
the Aztecs came along. They saw the
tracks and halted. Then they saw
the gold and followed its trail down
the sides of the ravine, leaving the
way clear for Dick and the others to
hurry away up the mountains.
The Aztecs and the outlaws met
where the two bags Of scattered gold
lay, and after brief exchange Of
greetings, Joined in a wild scramble
which ended abruptly when they
opened the bags and found they CON
tained only stones, Scarface in fury
shouted:
'sHe threw some Of the gold to fool
us. He's still got most of the treas
ure." And without delay the whole
crowd climbed back mp the ravine
and started after their enemies.
Having lost so much time and gone
to great labor In descending into the
ravine with so little to show for II

with passion.

of yellow ours to back me, we'd be
spending that gold In Frisco now In
stead of dying In this hole. You've
got only yourself to blame for this
mess" he said, as he drove his fist
Into his companions face. In an in
slant they were rolling upon the
boards of the hold, fighting with the
ferceness of two mountain cats. But
Scarface's first blow had partially
stunned Screweye and he was not for
long able to keep up his end of the
combat. His arm fell limp as ropes
at his side and his voice arose with
gasp.

cutting him off from air and life.

Dick and his party Of treasure-hunt-
ers were hemmed in by their enemies
ION narrow mountain trail, down
which the vengeful Aztecs We're hur-
rying, while approaching rapidly up
the trail were Scarface and his out
law band. On their horses were the
sacks holding the newly recovered
treasure. All seemed lost when Dick,
with a cry OF encouragement, drove
i the horses into the woods at one side
LOT the trail.
Selling two bags Of gold he rode
back down the trail until he was
within full view of Scarface, who saw
him and shouted exultantly:
We've got him Van Brunt's up
there and hers got bags Of gold on his
horse"
Then they ceased shouting as Dick
hurled the bags far out into the "a
vine, the bags bursting and the ingots
flashing yellow In the light. Tearing
open the other bag Dick scattered the
ingots so they made trail from the
mountain trail to the bottom Of the
irvine. He then hurried back TO the
others who were making new bags of
blankets.
Startled at what they had seen, the
outlaws hesitated which way 10 turn.
Then Scarface said.
He's throwing the gold away to
make his escape, hoping to come back
for II later. The Aztecs will get
them and Wen first get the gold for
ourselves So saying, they left the
trail and headed down into the ravins.

way, and II we hustle hard enough

In the middle Of 1t. 1t is going TO
turn out for our good after all, for
they have had the trouble Of finding
the treasure and carrying 1t all this
distance for us, and when 1t comes
to the finish all we will have to do
will be to pick it up and walk away
with It, Come on as fast as YOU can
men, for It is our last chance"
1t turned out a good deal as Scar
face had prophesied. A little later on
the outlaws came in sight of DICK
and his party In the midst of trans
ferring their effects from the beach
70 the vessel, and pausing but long
enough to plan a general charge In
company with the AZtecs, Scarface
led them forward with loud cries.
But, although they had the advantage
of numbers on their side, the attack
ing party ran up against the surprise
Of their life In the resistance which
they encountered.
Dick and the others were loading
the gold in small boat when the
outlaws raced up and fght started,
which extended to the decks of the
schooner and ended when Dick brought
the machine gun into play. Diaz, the
Kid, Roper, Chu and a score Of Axtecs
were slain, and Scarface and Screw
eye were tied and thrown below. Then
the treasure hunters set sail, hopeful
their troubles were ended.
Lying bound In the hold OF the
schooner and being borne away to the
arms of justice, Scarface and Screw
eye felt the desperateness of their
position. They no longer could hope
that their companions would come to
their rescue, and It indeed seemed that
sil was lost to them.
But the two had no intention yet OF
Giving up, and with their knives
which they had concealed from Dick
tsey severed their bonds and began

vessels hull. At last they had a

was terrific battle, but Dick soon
began getting the upper hand. He
hurled his foe TO the ground and
stepped back waiting for him Ia gain

knife, drew a pistol and fired. The
bullet ploughed Dicks shoulder and
in rage at the treachery he seized
the outlaw and hurled him over the

The bandits started to rush the

was fighting alone when the troopers

yesterdays game with Peoria to
Evansville in the eighth. At the

Evansville's favor, two out and the
bases filled with anxious Peorians.

dismissal from the park. Then
Wclfer took up the debate, and UNI
pire Roth Asserted his remarks
were insulting. uncalled for, even
in the heat of the fray, and elected
him. Then Manager Hamilton
upon election of Wolfer, came back
to the plate and demanded to know

Umpire Roth pulled the watch
upon Peoria, and when it refused
to respond to the call of play. after
the lapse of one minute, he de-
clared the game forfeited to Evans

base running had given Evansville

were stumped by Morrison, who
held them to three hits up to the

The Markets
TREND OF CORN
STILL BEARISH
Scattered Buying with Good Out
look for Crops Depress Mar
ket Quotations.

Chicago, June 5.-Bearish senti-
ment continued today to FREEDOM
mate in the corn market. Buying
was of only a scattered sort. One
of the reasons given for the alb
sence of demand was that the chop.
although late, seemed to be rap
idly catching up, and that in some
sections 10 days of warm weather
would make the condition of the
plant above normal. Opening
prices, which ranged from 15c off
to &c advance, with July at 1.7O1h
to Ill and September at ISL to
1914, were followed by marerate
downturns an around.
Oats were easy with corn. After
opening NC to 1ac1down, including
July at 6S1s to 6SK, the market
rallied a little and then sagged
again.
Weakness in hog values acted to
make provisions decline. The
Hoover statement as to supplies of
livestock in Europe was also a
bearish factor.
Subsequently reports that other
centers were outbidding Chicago
for grain to arrive led to a rally.
The market closed unsettled, &c
net lower to &c advance, with July
1.7O9s to I70A and September
1.607s to 1.61.
In the provisions market, the
market later became firmer as a
result of commission house buying
of lard.

Racine, Wis, June Sin one Of
the most interesting fights seen in
Wisconsin since the Badger box
ing bill went into effect, Pal Moore,
Memphis bantamweight, and Jack
Sharkey of New York. boxed ten
rounds to a draw last night in
John Wagner's arena
1t was a fight from start to fin
ish, with both boxers trying at all
times. They exchanged blow for
blow, but the punches lacked the
steam even to stagger the receiv-
er. Cleverness was in evidence at
all times. Most of the blows land
ed with the open glove.
In his jumping jack tactics,
Moore met his equal. The little
Italian was just as clever step
per and several times danced him
self out of dangerous positions. Pal
missed more than the Chicago
crowd expected. These misses
were due mostly to Sharkey's
cIeverness in ducking and side
stepping.
Pal Better at Long Range.
Sharkey had all the better of the
bout at infighting. Time and
again he forced Moore to the ropes
or into a corner and punched him
with short rights and lefts. At
long range Moore was the master.
The Memphis boxer used a straight
left, followed with a right cross,
for most of his points. Moore's
punches, his right cross especially,
lacked steam.
After the fight Moore said Shar-
key was one of the toughest boys
he had met since he was discharg-
ed from service. Pal will sail
June 16 for London, where he is
matched to meet Jimmy Wilde on
July II.
