Preacher Gets a Bear.

Rev. Claude Martin, Bascon
Billups. Robert Wright and Johl
Stoufer returned last night from
a ten days hunting and fishing
"trip to the falls on the Selway
river. about SO miles east of Koos.
kia.
Bear was the principal objective
Iof Rev. Martin and bear he gos,
but he was prevented from fetch
ing along the evidence by a re-
cent provision of the game restlic-
tions which prohibits the bringing
out of any fur-bearing animals
taken by a hunter. The bruin in
question was a small black beast,
and he was brought down in two
shots on the opposite bank of the
river, where it was impossible for
the hunters to reach him. Rev.
Martin came in touch with larg-
er bear at another time, but was
unable to stop him with a half doz-
EN- landed shots from his 3S Spe-
cial "six gun" He did not hap
pen to have his rifle with him at
this time.
The party saw lots of deer, but
the closed season prevented any
attacks on these denizens of the
big woods.
They found fishing so good that
they became ashamed of the guam
tity of fine 16-inchers they land
ed-with no means of getting
them home-and restricted their
activities in this line to the re-
qllirements of their mess table.
The pleasure of the outing was
only marred by the loss of a horse
one of the boys had borrowed for
the trip. The animal was a good
bay. and by some unknown means
got into the river and was drown
ed. The feed was found very
scarce; practically all burned up,
and on this. account the party
came out earlier than had been
planned.

: Nezperce Wins Last Game.

The Nezperce base ball team
played its last game of the 1919
Iseason last Sunday when Russell
was defeated IA to 6. 1t was a dull,
uninteresting game, full of hits
and errors. Nezperce made nine
runs in the first three innings and
then took it easy the rest of the
way. Hollen was in the box for
Nezperce and at no time exerted
himself, simply lobbing the ball
over most Of the time and letting
the Russellers hit it. Jewell, form
erly a resident of Nezperce, pitch
ed most of the game, Schlader
pitching the last inning. Russell
has some likely players, but it is
almost impossible for them to get
the necessary practice.
After the game the players met
at Manager Kettman s office and
divided the spoils Of the season.
All players that played in any
considerable number Of games
participated in the division of the
money and the boys generously IN
cluded the manager. scorekeeper,
and the bat boy and water boy. |
$400 was in the treasury,
he players that were at every |
game receiving over $35 apiece.
This shows that the patrons ap-
oreciate the efforts of a good ball |
cam. Preparations are already
mder way for next year and the
ocals will be back on the job with
he same old strong lineup and
everal youngsters are being con-
idered.
Credit is due to all that have
lelped in the affairs Of the team
S well as to the business men and
ommunity. And next year let's
ack them up stronger than ever
'ourteen games out of nineteen
, a good record. and while Nez-
cree did not win the pennant, let
s show the neighboring towns
hat we are good losers.

/ upon the rope, and the would-be as
sassin came tumbling to the earth,
where he lay stunned in a drift OF
i snow.
Within the lean-to Davis, now that
/ the attack upon him had ceased, quick
sly threw off the entangling blanket and
got upon his feet. Then pulling on his
boots he picked up his gun, rushed to
Ia low window and threw it open.
Through the darkness he obtained
% momentary glance of a rapidly van
fishing human figure as it sped up the
! mountain side. The window from
which he looked was upon the side OF
| the lean-to, while the senseless Hawk
! Morgan was lying across the end.
! Pausing only long enough to fix the
Ipicture of the fleeing man in his mind,
| John leaped through the window and
! started in hot pursuit.
Morgan regaining his senses just at
this moment slowly raised himself to
Ia sitting posture in the, drift. The
| cold air and snow had swept the fog
Fof insensibility from his brain and
flor q few seconds he remained silently
watching the figure Of John as it was
| swallowed up by the darkness. Then
arising he threw off the lariat that
had caused him his tumble and once
more scrambled to the lean-to's top.
From here he pulled out the lance, re;
leased the roof board and tossing the
lance toward the barn sprang to the
: ground and started in pursuit of
EDavis

noticed that afternoon, Hawk gained

ing to take this when he come to,
so I guess I'd better be on the safe
side. He is liable to start in being

truss him up for the time being until
I can find out how he wants to act.
Might as we'll tie q handkerchief over
his face, too, in case he should be a
mite curious or want to start trou-
ble."
Hosting the still motionless one
upon his back, he started down small
tunnel which evidently had been blast
ed from the rear Of the cave.
Back in the living room Of the cabin
Rainface, knocking at the door OF
Ethel's room, listened a moment for
a response from within. None came
and for a second time his knuckles
fell upon the panel. Hearing him
this time the girl listened, sat up in
her bed and then called out demand
ing to know who was there. The voice
of the old Indian came family through
the door.
"Me, Ratnface, knock. Young chief
he gone"
With little cry Ethel sprang from
the bed. Thrusting her feet into her
slippers, she drew on a wrap and
throwing the door ajar breathlessly
asked what had happened. Silently ne
led to the lean-to, opened the door and
pointed at the bed. Then still un-
speaking but indicating by motions
that the window had been open he
stood immobile as he watched her face
Greatly alarmed and wholly puzzled
at the mystery Of it all, the girl stepped
back into the living room and opened
the outside door. A furry Of snow
struck her in the face.
She turned to Rainface.
"Fire your gun. That will bring
Mr.. Morgan, and maybe Mr.. Davis Is
with him."
With a nod the Indian drew his
weapon and fired twice into the night"
Within the harness room Morgan,
hearing the reports and knowing that
the alarm was raised, smiled grimly
as he drew on his coat. Leaving 1t
unopened as though he had responded
with the greatest of haste, he rushed
out in the direction Of the cabin.
throwing open the door and entering
"What is the matter? heard the
shots and came as quickly as could"
he exclaimed as he looked into the
agitated face of the girl. Quickly she
approached him.
"Mr. Davis is gone. Wasn't he with
you? Haven't you seen him? As
he was about to reply sound as of
q stone thrown against the door caused
them to wheel with a start. For an
instant they stood looking into each
others face, then striding to the door
Morgan threw it open, and the form
Of Davis lurched heavily into the room.
Quickly Morgan and Kainface grasped
him, and closing the door laid him on
a robe before the fire. Clasping hei
hands in her anxiety Ethel bent over
him, while Rainface severed the bonds
by which the Hermit had bound him
before he had brought him there and
hurled the stone against the building:

they would be in direct range. AS
Ethel and John came back from the
stable he addressed the latter in a
friendly voice.
Suppose you draw up some simple
articles of agreement as to how we
shall work the mine when we find it,
Davis"
Gall right responded the one ad-
dressed. Going to the table which had
been placed in range by the plotter he
seated himself and began writing.
Morgan, pointing down the canyon at
an imaginary object, thus diverted the
attention of the girl while he grasped
the string. The next instant there
was flash, a roar and a clou9 Of
smoke
Startled by the explosion so close
behind her, Ethel turned upon the in
slant to see Davis pitching forward
out Of his chair and falling hands out
stretched upon the floor. With cry
she brushed by Morgan and ran to-
ward the PROSTATE and unconscious
man, the Hawk close following on her
heels. Together they lifted John up.
Across the side of his head was the
track of bullet where 1t had plowed
it's way, grazing his temple and stun
ming him. Owing to the fact that the
injured man had turned his head to
look at the pair just at the instant
that the shot was fired, the bullet
merely had missed his brain. Paus-
ing only long enough to see that his
plot had again failed, the Hawk left
his would-be victim to the mfnistra-
tions Of the girl and hurrying to the
cellar removed the pistol, concealed
the line and went back to meet Rain
face and Bridget Wegan.
1T was another dastardly attempt
on his life by the mysterious stran-
GER" explained Morgan with an as
sumption of great indignation. Point
ing to the hole in the floor he told
them that the shot had come through
it, and turned to Davis.
'Two attempts on your life and one
on mine," he said. 1--WE cannot let
this thing go on. Suppose we 60 and
search the vicinity?'
"He must have a cup Of tea first
to brace him up after this" insisted
the kindly hearted Irish woman, and
Morgan agreed.
Leaving John for his cup of re-
freshing brew the Hawk approached
the barn. AS he did so a man came
sliding down the hillside, bringing up
at his feet in 8 cloud Of snow. In
stantly Morgan whipped out his pis-
tol, but in the act Of firing stayed his
finger as he saw who the newcomer
was.
"Spider Belfast" he exclaimed as
he replaced the weapon. "You made
good time in coming" The Spider
grinned.
Eyes, I got yer telegram. I could
have come up with the Indian and the
Biddy, but I thought I'd better take q
horse and the trail on the other side
of the mountain. Well, now I'm here.
and what do you want Of me?"
Quickly Morgan explained his plan
ending by saying:
Gas soon as Davis gets across,
show yourself and lead him On. Don't
let him catch you. Just give me time
to fix the thing up, then make circle
and meet me here tonight. Get me?
With a nod the Spider turned and
went up the canyon. Providing him
self with snowshoes and a small
shovel and saw which he concealed
beneath lis coat, Morgan met Davis
at the door. He addressed the other.
