hoofs slipped in their struggle to at
tain the top. Shelby gave the buck
skin his head, and the game little
devil went scrambling up, until they
came forth on a fiat plain above. Shell
BY dropped his rein, and climbed to
a higher point of rock, lying concealed
behind It's summit, while he swept the
scene below through the field glasses
He never had been there before, yet
he knew about where he was; this
must be Dragon creek and not far
below would be Wolves hole, Of which
he often had heard--a famous hiding
place for cattle thieves and border
outlaws. These fellows evidently we're
heading for there. but would they try
TO complete the Journey? His hope
conferred on their camping somewhere
until morning; If sufficiently assured
Of safety this would probably be their
choice Through the field glasses he
studied the course Of the stream, and
the little patches of wood intently. At
last he was rewardeda faint spiral
of blue smoke arose above some dis
tant trees, the evidence of a camp
fire. He lay there motionless, silent,
his eyes glued to the glass, planning
his action, and waiting for the night.
As the gloom slowly deepered Shell
by was able to distinguish the flicker
of that far-off fire, but the distance
was too great to permit any knowl-
edge of Its surroundings. The trail
leading down was narrow, and rock
strewn, and he determined to try the
passage while faint glimmer Of twi-
light yet fingered. Leading the buck
skin, and moving with the utmost eau
ton, he began the descent.
The gloom did not greatly retard his
movements, for, through the glasses,
he had mapped out the salient fea-
lures, and so impressed them upon his
memory as to go forward now con-
fidently. The camp fire was located in
the third grove Of trees, and there
were no signs of human presence be-
tween. However, he took no chance,
but advanced quietly on foot, leading
his horse, and using every pr2caution
against discovery.
He circled the two groves keeping
close in their shadow. and searching
their depths anxiously for any sign of
life. They were desolate and desert
ed, but, from the outer fringe of the
second he could perceive plainly the
duh glow of the fire hundred yards
ahead. 1t was no longer a flame, but
mere gllmmer of red ashes, casting
no reflection about, although clearly
visible. He fastened the bronco to
limb, within the circle of trees. and
crouched forward alone, Winchester
in hand, choosing his passage beneath
the bank Of the stream, and advanc-
ing with every precautlon, pausing
every few steps, to peer over the pro-
tecting bank, and thus assure himself
that all remained quiet. When almost
exactly opposite the red glow of the
Goals, he lay still, endeavoring vainly
to learn the situation, and becoming
more and more puzzled.
The camp appeared deserted, as
though the party which had halted
there had already passed on. He could
hear no sound. see no movement The
fire had died down into a mere glim-
mer of red ashes, barely pereeptible
amid the surrounding gloom. Shelby

MAN MISSING AT KEENE.
Joseph Smith Suffering from Nervou:
Collapse Disappears.

KEENE, n. H., June 2l-Searching
parties were out all yesterday afternoon
and late last night looking for Joseph
Smith, aged 80, of Fitchburg, Mass, who
has been visiting his parents in this town
while recovering from a nervous collapse.
Smith LETT shortly after 9 yesterday morn
ing on a bicycle, saying he was going to
the home of his sister in another part of
the city, but he never reached there.
No trace of the missing man has been
found since then. Automobile parties
have patrolled all the roads leading out of
Keene, and the police of neighboring
places have been furnished with a descrip-
tion of him. Smith has been employed IN
Fitchburg for some years. few weeks
ago he was struck on the head by belt
in the factory. The blow caused slight
mental arrangement and eventually a ner-
vous breakdown He has been here with
his wife for some time
He is feet 10 inches in height, about
AS pounds in weight, and was wearing
dark shoes and khaki shirt when last

Talking Cummings.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 2l-Ho-
mer $. Cummings of Connecticut, chairman
OF the Democratic national committee,
looms as dark horse of undeniable pos
sibilities in the approaching convention.
Cummings figures as largely as did Pal
,mer, Cox, Edwards, Hitchcock, Owen,
Glass, and others of the bakers dozen
who are entries for the nomination.
Owen and Glass are not considered
seriously. The formers record as United
States senator is not of such a character
to arouse the enthusiasm of the Demo
Gratis, if by chance he became the Choice
of the convention. Glass is an able man
but the Democratic candidate must APP
peal more to the North than Nirginian
ever could.

The league of nations as an issue has
possibilities only when it can be removed
from the realm of complex phraseology
to the formulas of simple every day UNI
derstanding. So long as it looked as if
men like Taft and Hoover and other Re
publicans would stick by the Wilson
guns i'll the league of nations fight, there
was chance out here for the Democratic
viewpoint But the accession of Taft
and Hoover by Harding has had a pro

GRANTS INJUNCTION
AGAINST UNION
New York Justice Imposes 100000
Damages Against Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y. June 2l.-Justice
Adolph j Rodenbeck in the supreme
court Of New York has handed down a
decision sustaining the Michaels Stern
Clothing company of this city in its suit
against the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America for a permanent
injunction and 100000 damages
The decision declares that no labor
union has the right to make itself into
a labor monopoly and says that the Anal.
gamated tried to do so by endeavorine
to undermine secretly the United Garment
Workers of America, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor union which was recog
nized in the Michaels Stems factories.
Justice Rodenbeck declared the Ameri
can principls Of equal rights and equal op
portunity for all, personal liberty ant
freedom of action interfered with by al
monopolies of whatever kind He sale
that the manner in which the strike o.
the Amalgamated against the compan,
was conducted was made a conspiracy by
the use of threats. intimidation and VIC
lence, no matter what the intention of tn,
organization at its inception
The liability for damages against tn
Amagamated, however, does not extern,
against the individual members, who ar
not specifically connected with the act
of violence and the like. The decision
warns that ultimate success in the labo
movement does not lie along this line
but in the direction of peaceful exempl
hcation of a just and reasonable admins
tration of the affairs of the union, wit
| advantage not only to Employers and EN-
ployees, but to the public as well.
