RECOGNITION TERNS
FOR MEXICO TO BE-
SUBMITTED BY j. S.
Conditions Practically Identi-
cal With Recommendations
of Fall In Report to
Congress

Washington, May ga definitA
statement outlining the conditions
upon which the United States would
extend recognition to the Oregon
government of Mexico has been pre-
pared for submission to President
Obregon.
This statement In the form of a
memorandum, 1t was said tonight will
be delivered to Oregon by George 7.
Summerlin, counselor Of the American
embassy at Mexico, who is expected to
leave for Mexico this week. He was
Secretary of State to give first-hand
concerning the situation in
that country.
The conditions for recognition, it is
understood. are practically identical
with the recommendations made by
Senator Fall in his report at the last
session of Congress as chairman of
subcommittee of the Senate foreign re-
lations committee which Investigated
the Mexican question.
MUST GIVE ASSURANCES
The important feature of the cont
munication is said to be the insistence
that Obregon must sign some document
giving assurances that Americans and
their interests will be properly safe
guarded in Mexico before the United
States will consider the resumption of
formal relations with that country II
such assurances are given, 1t is be-
Neved that Henry p. Fletcher. under
secretary of state, who was ambassa-
dor to Mexico for a time under the
Wilson administratio until he re-
signed because of disapproval OF that
administrations policy toward Mexico,
Will be designated to represent the
United States in drafting a treaty.

upon their release and took them to his
walton county farm, where they were
alleged to have been held in peonage.

negroes had been paid $40 a month ana
well clothed and fed.

Among the historic relics destroyed

bought in 1927, was used for many
years and was paid for by the con

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root. a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
hilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact
so many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

Allan spring to his feet and rush

Then there had been another shot-a
revolver shot this .time-and every
thing was darkness, and he could hear
only something struggling at the door.
Then he told of his own fight of how
they had fallen and rolled about on
the rotten floor, and how, in despera-
ton, he had not hesitated to use his
teeth on the hand of his assailant, who
had finally broken away and disap-
peared in the darkness. Then he told
the rest of his story; of his vigil with
Allan, of the loss of the money, of
the capture of Travers, and finally of
the arrival of the policeman on the
scene.
Didn't 1t seem to you a foolish
thing to go into the hills with all that
money to meet man you had never
seen, and buy a property you had new

CHAPTER XIII.

An Inquest-and Some Explanations
The inquest party consisted of the
coroner, who was the doctor that had
already attended Allan: Sergeant
Grey, six Jurors, selected from the
t0wnspeople; the manager of the bank,
whose suspicious had first been COM
municated to Grey; Travers, and Gar
diner. In the early morning the po-
lceman had ridden out to the ranch
for Gardiner, but had met him on his
way to town. News of the tragedy
had reached him, he said, and he was
hurrying in to see If he could be of
some assistance to Travers in arrang-
ing for lawyer. or in any way that
might be practicable. Grey told him
that as yet no formal charge had been
laid against Travers; that he was
merely held pending the finding of
the coroner's jury, and suggested that
IL Gardiner would accompany him to
the inquest he might be able, not only
to throw some light on Travers' char.
acter, but also on his whereabouts on
the night of the tragedy. To this
Gardner readily agreed.
1t was noon when the party reached
the Arthurs' ranch. They swung into
the yard amid a cloud of dust, the
jingle of trappings, and the hearty ex-
change of greetings between Arthurs
and his acquaintance from town.
Gardiner was introduced to Arthurs,
and shook handstwithout removing his
gauntlets. Then the rancher walked
over and shook hands with Travers.
There We're no signs of handouts
now, and an outsider would not have
known that the young mans position
differed from that of the others pres
ent.
After the meal Gardiner joined them
again. and the party, which now in

ed up the valley to the scene of the
tragedy. 1t was great shock to Har-
ris to find hat the victim of Allan's
gun was his old neighbor, Rifles. He
stood for long time as one dazed by
the discovery but gradually out of
The confusion a horrible fear took
shape in his mind. Allan had shot
this man, with whom they had an APP
pointment at this spot; had shot him
down, as far as could be shown, with
out excuse or provocation, before he
had so much as entered the door. The
body proved to be unarmed, and from
its position had evidently fallen into
the building after receiving the fatal
charge.
Harris evidence was first received.
He found it difficult to give his story
connectedly, but item by item he told
of his acquaintance with Rifles in the
eastern province; of their decision to
come west and take up more land; of
the chance by which they had fallen
in with Gardiner, and the prospect he
had Laid before them of more profita-
bic returns from another form of III
vestment; of how his hesitation had
finally been overcome by the assur-
ance that all he need do was have his
money ready-he was to be under no
obligation to go any further in the
transaction unless entirely satisfied !;
of the offer wired by the New York
capitalists; of the sale of his farm
for a disappointing sum, and their
journey with the money to the old
shanty up the valley, where they were
to be met by Rifles and Gardiner, and
also, as they expected, by the owner
of the mine, with whom they would
open direct negotiations, producing
the money as proof of their desire and
ability to carry out their undertaking;
of how they hoped the owner would
be induced to accept deposit and ac-
company them back to town, where an
option would be secured from him for
a period sufficient to enable them to
