MADISON, w. Va, Sept. 4.-Magis-
trate Fulton Mitchell, of Logan, who
was captured last Sunday by the
armed forces on this side of Spruce
Fork Ridge, was brought to military
headquarters here to-day to be
Questioned
Four Logan County deputy sheriffs,
who were captured with the magistrate,
were at Jeffrey, where they had been
surrendered to the military by their
captors. In addition to Magistrate
Mitchell, the prisoners were Deputy
Sheritfs Lucien Mitchell, brother of
tn magistrate; Leslie Stanly, of Logan;
Howard Young, OF Holden, and a man
named Hume, of Monaviie.

become separated from other Logan
forces in the hills and were lost, when
number OF armed men approached
us. They ordered hands up and in
formed us that we were prisoners.
An Sunday night they questioned
us and threatened us with death unless
we told them what was happening on
the Logan side. After that we were
treated better, but were held under
armed guard in the woods. From time
to time our guards would move us from
place to place on the creek.
THE men there had good supply of
rifles AID ammunition and a number of
automobiles. The automobiles were
used to transport ammunition to the
men on the firing line, which stretched
the full length of Spruce Fork Ridge
Most of the fighters | knew to be
miners, but quite a number of them
were ex-soldiers who went into it lust
as an adventure. / would Judge that
there were about $500 fighters in the
miners side"
The magistrate said they had been
fed on bread and beans. He added that
all information OF the progress of the
fighting was withheld from them.
General Bandholtz gave out the fol

Upon receipt of this report, which
related wholly to the miners side OF
Spruce Fork Ridge, General Bandholtz
sent to William Petry, Vice President
of District No. II, United Mine Work
ers, and had him go to st. Adams to ar
range with the railroad officials there
to send special trains up Coal Rive,
Valley to bring down the miners who
surrendered. This was carried out by
Petry.

Bandholtz as to thc necessity Of pro-
mitigating the Presidents proelama-
tion of martial law. The 26th Infantry,
from Camp Dix, probably will be sent
back to it's station tomorrow il con-
ditions continue to improve, he said.
1t was explained at the War Depart
ment that the replacing of state troops
by Federal soldiers without the issu-
ance of the martial law proclamation
was permitted under the Constitution,
which provided for tho employment OF
armed forces in states as Federal aid
in domestic disturbances"
General Bandholtz's message said:
"By noon this date Federal troops
had replaced both state and county
forces and the invading miners
throughout the disturbed area. Up to
the present there has been no hostile
act on the part of anybody toward
United States troops, nor have our
troops fired shot or taken any drastic
measures.

the Presidents second proclamation.

In this message General Bandholtz
made only the briefest reference to the
plight of the missing army bombing
plane, which was caught in storm
over Poe, w. Va, while it was pro-
ceeding back to its station at Langley
Field, Va. No report has been re-
ceived at the department of the acr
cident, in which two aviators were said
to have been killed.
General Bandholtz has advised the
War Department that tho movement of
the Camp Dix troops was to have been
completed within twenty-one hours
whereas delays in transportation
brought this time up to forty hours.
The last of the troops from Camp Dix
did not reach their destination in West
Virginia until this morning.

why I didn't shoot; and l says the

Proutt laughed harshly, and
slapped triumphant hand upon his
knee. "Will wouldn't believe me-"
he declared, "till ! showed him
tracks, where we wuz, and where the
fox went by"
He looked around for their admi-
ration, but ne one spoke at all. Only
one or two glanced sidewise at each
other and slowly grinned. The tale
was all right, except for thing or
two. In the first place, Proutt was
no man to let fox go by, no matter
how long the shot, and, in the second
place, Dan was known to be surly
dog, not overly obedient, unruly as
his master. And, in the third place,
this incident, thoroughly authenti-
Gated, had happened two years be-
fore to another man and another
dog, as every one in the store knew.
Proutt had borrowed his tale from
a source too close home.
So they knew he lied; but no one
cared to tell him so. Only, after a
little silence, Nick Westley, the game
warden, said with slow twinkle in
his eye: "Proutt, that reminds mes
of a story my father used to tell"
Proutt grunted something or other,
disgusted with their lack of appreci-
alton, and Westley took it for en-
enlargement, and began to whittle
slow, das shavings from a silver Of

pine which he held in hand, and told
the tale.

he explained, "before he was
married, while he still lived at home.
But I've heard him tell the story
many time.
"My Uncle Jim was living then;
and he and my father had hound
Good dog he was, toe. Good as Dan,
i | think, Proutt.
"Well, one winter morning, with
six or eight inches of loose snow on
the ground, they were working up
some wood in the shed; and they saw
the old hound drift off into the pas
ture and up the hill. And after a
spell they heard him yelling down
by the river.
Jim said to my father He's got
fox And father said: Jim, let's
go get that fox So they dropped
their axes and went in and got their
guns, and they worked up through
the pasture and over the hill till thev
located the dogs noise, and they fig
ured the fox would come up around
the hill by a certain way; and so
they posted themselves there, one on
either side of the path they thought
he would take. And set waiting.
And it was cold as could be, and cold
waiting, and they stamped their feet
little, but they couldn't move much
for fear the fox would see them.
so they were both we'll pleased
when they saw the fox coming; and
they both shot when he came in
range, because they were cold and in
hurry and anxious to be done.
"Well, they shot into each other.

at it. The old dog had come up by
then, and was sitting there with an
eye on the fox, as dog will. And
father took the front legs and jim
took the hind legs, and they worked
fast. And they kept cussing their
hurts and the cold and each other.
But they slit the legs down and
skinned out the tail and trimmed UP

! a proud buck, come up from the
stream and follow the meadow to-
ward where he lay. 1t passed the
isolated alder clump, and something
there gave it alarm; for Jim saw its
head lift-saw then the quick leap
and rush which carried the creature
to cover and away. :,
Saw something else. Out from the
alder clump burst man, driving be-
fore him dog. Dusk was falling
jim could see their figures only dim
ly. But this much he saw. The
man urged the dog after the deer,
with waving arms; and the dog, ever
looking backward shamefacedly,
trottcd slowly off upon the trail, the
man still urging from behind.
They slipped into the brush where
the deer had gone and Jim caught
no further glimpse of them.
Now, Saladine was an honest
man, who loved the deer he hunted /;
and he was angry. But he was also
just man; and he could not be sure
whom he had seen. SO it was that
he kept a still tongue, and waited,
and through the weeks that followed
he watched, patiently enough, for
what should come.
He meant, in that hour, to take a
hand.
FRATERNITY knew nothing of
what had happened, though jim
Saladine may have guessed. There
was one night at Wills store when
Jim and Proutt were near fisticufss.
Proutt had brought Dan with him
to the store; and Jim, studying the
surly dog, asked:
Dan ever notice a deer, Proutt?"
Proutt exclaimed profanely. "No,"
he said.
Il was over in the Sheepscot
t'other day." said Jim evenly. "See
tracks where a dog had been after
a deer"
More. like it was one of these
setters," Proutt declared, watching
them all from beneath lowered lids.
They'll kill deer, or a sheep, give
'em a chance"
"It was hounds tracks," jim per-
sisted mildly; and something in
Jim's tone, or in Proutt's own heart,
made the trainer boil into fury, so
that he strobe toward Saladine. But
Will Rissell came between, and the
matter passed.
Proutt, before this, had taken Reck
home, and the Westleys made much
of the dog.
They thought the dog was unhap-
py when he came home to them. He
had sinking, shamed way about
him. At first Westley supposed
Proutt had whipped him, but Reck
showed no fear of a whip in West
ley's hands. After two or three days
this furtiveness passed away and
Reck was the joyously affectionate
creature he had always been.
He had one fault. Chained, he
would bark at the least alarm, in a
manner to wake the neighborhood.
So Westley had never kept him
chained. 1t was not the way of Fra
ternity to keep dogs in the house Of
nights; SO Reck slept in the wood
shed, and Westley knocked a plank
loose and propped it, leaving Reck
an easy avenue to go out or in. 1t
was this custom of Westley's which
gave Proutt the chance for which
he had laid his plans.
OCTOBER had gone; November

New-York tribune., 1921-02-06
OCTOBER had gone; Novemb,

OCTOBER had gone; November
had come. This was in the
days when woodcock might be shot
in November if you could find them.
But most men who went into the
woods bore rifles; for it was open
season for deer. Now and then you
might hear the swapping crash of a
800 in Whitcher Swamp or at
one of the crossings, or-if you
went so farm the alder wales along
the Sheepscot. And one day in the
middle of the month, when the
ground was frozen hard, Proutt
came to Nick Westley's home.
He came at noon, driving his old
buggy. Westley was at dinner when
he heard Proutt drive into the yard,
and he went to the door and bade
the dog trainer to come in. But
Proutt shook his head, and his eyes
were somber.
you come out, Westley," he said.
i've word for YOU"
There was something in Proutt's
tone which disturbed Wesley. He
put on his mackinaw and drew his
cap down about his ears and went
out into the yard. Reck had been
asleep on the doorstep when Proutt
appeared; he had barked a single
bark. But now he was gone into the
shed, out of sight, and when West
ley came near Proutt's buggy the
dog trainer asked:
Did you see Reck sneak away?"
Westley was angry, and he was also
shaken by sudden tremor of alarm.
He said, hotly enough: "Reck never
sneaks. He did not sneak away"
"He knows ] saw him." said
Proutt. "He heard me yell"
Westley asked. with narrowing
eyes: What are you talking about?
Where did you see hin?"
"This morning" Proutt declared.
"Scant daylight. Down in the
Swamp"
Westley stood very still, trying to
remember whether he had seen Reck

house, then as an afterthought got

and they moved on their way.
