certainly have cause 70 regret doing
so. It's time TO Speed Up. \ very
few subscriptions may al the finish

biggest awards. This would prove
"a great disappointment and should

last hour OF the race; 20 work this
week and next week harder than
before.
Awards worth a small fortune are
at stake and they are worth extra
ordinary effort. II IS not often that

full advantage Of it will always re-

at the right time and as a result
someone else captures what might
have been theirs. There will lie little
consolation after August 10. when

When the party ar rived in the town of Thompson, Smith alleges. his companions attacked him and disposed of him as described.
 When he was able to proceed after the attack made upon him he got in touch with Deputy Sheriff William \. Bates of the town of Thompson, but it was then too late to locate the men guilty of the assault Smith said that Sheriff Bates later brought him 10 Danielson in. an au- tomobile and lis fact was verified when Chief John Mcfarland communicated with the officer
