where he had been leaning. Estrada,
sent by Richard to find out why the
train did net pull out, saw him the
same instant as did Molly. Silent
swsyed, waving them back unseeingly,
lite man who is drunk.
God, man, you can't 60 like thatI"
cried Estrada.
!. 'ssWho's goingw demanded Silent, his
tongue thick with thirst and exhaus-
ton, The whistle blow again.
II willIr The train moved out on
the tressie, as the whistle blew angriJy
twice. Only Molly and Silent saw Els,
trada go. Silent staggered unseeingly
up the bank toward the camp, Molly
following. ''!:sss'r>,.'
The river was humping out yonder;
the rolling mass came, roaring, flank
on, against the dam. '~-~
"Quick, for Gods sake, quick"
yelled Rickard. His signals sounded
short and sharp, Dump it on, throw
the cars in" Marshall was dancing,
'h:s ..:s mouth full Of oaths, on the bank
edge. Breathlessly all watched the
rushing water fling itself over the dam.
For several hushed seconds the struc-
ture could not be seen. When the
foam fell q cheer went up. The dam
was standing. Silent, it was supposed,
was bringing in his train.
Above the distant jagged line OF
mountains rose red ball. A new day
began. And again the Dragon rose;
mountain Of water came rolling dam
ward.
Three trains ran steaming on the
rails.
Don't stop now to blast the big
ones. Pour 'em on" ordered Rickard.
There was long wait before any
rock fell. Marshall and Rickard wait
ed for the pour. The whistles blew
again. Then they cav what was
wrong. The morning light showed a
rock Weighing several tons which was
resisting the efforts Of the pressing
crew. Out Of the gloom sprang other
figures with crowbars. The rock tot
tered, fell. The river tossed. it as
though it were a TERMS ball, sent it
hurtling down the lower face Of the
dam.
Things began to 60 wild. The men
were growing reckless. They were
sagging toward exhaustion; mistakes
were made. Another rock, asheavy as
the last, was worked toward the edge.
Men were thick about it with crow
bars. They hurried. One concerted
effort, drawing back as the rock top
pied over the edge. One man was too
slow, or too tired. He slipped. The
watchers on the bank saw q flash Of
waving arms, heard a cry; they had a
glimpse of a blackened, face as the
foam caught it. The waters closed
over him.
There was hush Of horror; halt.
"God himself couldn't save that poor
devil" cried Marshall. "Haye the
work 60 on!"
Pour rocks on that wretch down
there? Pin him down? Never had 1t
seemed more like war! "A man
DOWN. Ride over him! to victory" !"
Soberly Richard signaled for the work

DRY ACT WILL
BE ENFORCED
U. s. Department Of Justice Will
Prosecute vioIaters Of the New
Law.

Considerable interest has been
aroused lately by the discussion of
who would enforce the new dry
measures which are to go into effect
July LIST. This questions has been
definitely answered according to the
following message from Washington,
d. c.:
Enforcement of national wartime
prohibition, effective next July l,
will be undertaken by the Depart
ment of Justice.
Attorney General Palmer in a
statement Sunday declared that Gas
long as the act remains in force un-
der its terms it becomes my duty to
see that il is enforced like all other
laws by prosecution Of such persons
as violate it." The Attorney Gener-
al further asserted that he possess
ed no power to grant amnesty to
anyone who might manufacture beer
pending an Interpretation of the
law as to what percentage of alec
holic constituent brings beer within
the meaning of the prohibition act.
The statement definitely settled the
question of the agency to take ur
enforcement of the act which arose
when Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Roper let it be known that his
bureau had neither funds nor 6
staff available when carrying ou'
the acts enforcement
The voluntary assumption by th'
Attorney General of the acts en-
forcement also relieves Presiden
Wilson Of any delegation of author
ity under the .Oyerman act, which
t was thought might be necessary.

AVIATOR DOES
MANY STUNTS
People Amazed at Daring and Brav-
cry of the SkiHful Young
Pilot.

Through the courtesy Of Capt.
Herbert schaffner, of CaYp Knox,
Mt. Sterling and Montgomery coun-
ty citizens were given rare treat
Saturday evening and Sunday morn
morning by 1t. Charles T. Skow,
Pilot, and Sgt. James j. Lynch,
Mechanician, of the Goth Areo Squad
ron, who were dispatched to this
city. The aviator drove his ma
chine from Lexington to Mt. Ster-
ling a distance of 33 miles in IL
minutes. He reached height Of
1000 feet and cut his engine off
while passing Winchester and simply
coasted here a distance of IA miles.
A large crowd was present at
Woodford's farm near the city limits
to receive the men. They were clean
cut, manly gentlemen and were ex-
ceedingly courteous in answering
the many, many questions and ex-
planning the working, ETC., of the
machine. They were due to return
to Lexington Saturday night but on
account of a cold motor were forced
to stay over until Sunday morning
when some real "stunts" were put
on. II. G. Hoffman, Geo. G. Eastin,
Paul Strother and William Day
made flights with the aviator. Gan
account of the ride enjoyed by Mr..
Hoffman will be found elsewhere)
If the men coming here with the
Flying Circus this week are any
better than 1t. Skow, we would not
miss seeing them for anything.
Cattle and horses were scared
from noise of the motor; several
superstitious negroes made many
funny remarks. One cook ran into
the house where she worked, ex-
claiming: 'Lord, Missus, come out
here; this here flying machine up
there; nobody in it and the Lord
only knows what it will do"
While here they were entertained
by Messrs. Hoffman, Eastin and
Strother.

LOCAL OIL NEWS

The Bradford Oil & Gas Co., on
Monday struck its second well on
the Apperson lease, in sight of the
Court House, which is said to have
made a much better showing than
the first well and is estimated to be
good from between 10 and 20 bar
rels. The sand was struck at a
depth Of little more than 300 feet.
The well will be shot and pumped in
connection with the first well. Both
Of these wells which are estimated
to be small producers seem to indi-
cate that oil is in Montgomery coun-
ty in paying quantities and it is not
unlikely that large pool may yet
be discovered here.
Drillers on the J. r. Crooks lease
are now down something over 800
feet but as yet have found no show
ing Of oil. Yesterday afternoon the
bit was reported to be stuck in the
sand. This is the deepest well that
has been sunk in the county, the
outcome of which is being watched
with much anxiety. 1t is reported
the company operating this rig is
prepared to go $500 feet and we
sincerely hope a thorough test will
be made.

TROOPS CLASH
IN GERMANY

Of clashes between troops OF Gustav
Noske, secretary for military affairs.
and civilians. but Just what has
caused the disturbances is not clear
in dispatches published In German
newspapers. American army officers.
however, believe II is quite possible
that the manifestations are due to
the food shortage. the relocation Of
Noske troops and the subsequent
appearance of strange troops in
many cities.
In Celle. Hanover. there has been
trouble for moro than . week, at
times the manifestations amounting
almost to riots over the appearance
of a Jaeger battalion, which arrived
recently from the eastern front. The
citizens contended that this battalion
had eaten too much Of the city's food
supply. In Heilbronn, Wuerttenm-
burg. individual soldiers have been
attacked and beatSn by civilians at
night and their insignia stolen. Dis
turbances between Insterburg. West
