house. I was standing beside my mother when father said, Get those children inside, quick!' And as ev- eryone got inside the last was Bill Darson and as he jumped through the doorway a bullet killed the dog right between his legs.
 Then father said to mother. You and the children lay flat down on the floor and we obeyed the call at once. This was all in 1869. The ranch we lived on was known as the Dickinson ranch. A few days later we were in the garden gathering some vegetables when mother said to father, There are three Indians lay ing up on the hill above the house looking down upon us.' Father said.
 Don't look up any more so that they won't think we see them.s When we went up to the house father and Dickinson saddled their horses and one started down the creek and one up the creek and all of the boys in the house were on the guard. In about three quarters of an hour they came back with three scalps tied on their saddles and both were laughing about what short work they had made of the three bucks
 John Townsend was our neighbor, five miles below us The Indians finally killed him. but every time he killed an Indian he cut notch in
 his belt. I well remember his old belt: it looked like an old buck saw
 Mother said when poor John was killed his belt had AZ notches in it
 John and my father used to set old shotguns in the corn, rigged up with long string and tied to the trigger and when an Indian hit the string it would go off and the big stampede
 would begin One morning they found a whole wagon load of baskets
 in the field and one third of the corr broken down.
 From there we moved to the old Pinyan station at the forks of the road from Camp Verde to Prescott There is where father killed the big chief of the Black Hills in the house after nightfa1l. It was on Christmas eve. That was the hardest struggle 1 ever seen between two men in my life. Mother picked the lamp from the table and held it. and said, 'Ge back. children-out of the way,'
 Finally father overpowered tht huge Indian and drew his old cap ana ball six shooter and shot him through the heart and then took him by ths 1 loag hair and dragged him outside | It left a streak of blood the full | length of the Indian clear across tht | floor.

Little Stories For Bedtime
 THORNTON w. BURGESS
WHY THE WORLD LOOKED UP-
 SIDE DOWN
BY THORNTON w. BURGEs.

Jerry Muskrat sat on the Big Rock in the Smiling Pool, which smiled no longer, and held his head in both hands, for his head ached. He had thought and thought and thought un- til it seemed to him that his head would split and with all his thinking he didn't understand things any more now than he had in the beginning. You see, Jerry Muskrat's little world was topsy -turvey. Yes, sir, Jerry's world was upside down. Anyway, il seemed so to him, and he couldn understand it at all.
 The Smiling Pool, the Laughing Brook and the Green Meadows are Jerry Muskrat's little world. Now, as he sat on the Big Rock and looked about him, the Green Meadows were as lovely as ever. He could see no change in them. But the Laughing Brook had stopped laughing, and the Smiling Pool had stopped smiling. The truth is there wasn't enough of the Laughing Brook left to laugh. and there wasn't enough of the Smil- ing Pool left to smile.
 It was dreadfuli Jerry looked over to his house, of which he had once been so proud He had built it with the doorway under water He had felt perfectly safe there, because no one excepting Billy Mink and little Joe Otter. who can swim under water could reach him. Now the Smiling Pool had grown so small that Jerry's house wasn't in the water at all. Any body who wanted to could get into it. There was the doorway plain to be seen. Worse, still. there was the secret entrance to the long tunnel leading to his castle under the roots of the big hickory tree. That had been Jerry's most secret secret; and now there it was for all the world to see. And there were ali the wonder full caves and holes and hiding places under the bank which had been known only to Jerry Muskrat and Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter, be- cause the opening had always been under water.
 Now anybody could find them. And where had always been smiling. dim

The lily pads lay half curled up at the ends of their long stems, stretched out on the mud. and looked very, very sick. Jerry turned toward the Laughing Brook. There was just a little teeny-deeny stream of water trickling down the middle of it. with here and there tiny pool in which frightened trout and min nows were crowded. All the secrets of the Laughing Brook were exposed, just as were the secrets of the Smil- ing Pool. Jerry knew that if he wanted to find Billy Mink's hiding places all he need do would be to walk up the Laughing Brook and look.

AWARDS TO0WNERS.
| | IN ABOUT 9cASES

! Justice Siddons Of the District Su-
preme Court today decided to award
judgment for possession in about fifty
landlord and tenant cases which have
been under consideration by the court
and in which the tenants proposed
many technica1 defenses infaddition
to relying on the constitytfohality Of
the Ball rent law. - - -:
Before actual entry of judgments a
Few days will be allowed to the ten
ants, who desire to appeal to the
Court OF Appeals. in. which to furnish
bonds to prevent orders of eviction.
Chief Justice Mccoy, who also has
under advisement a number of land
lord and tenant cases appealed from
. the Municipal Court. announced to-
day that he would follow the action
OF Justice Siddons in such cases in
which the only point raised is the va
lidity of the Ball act. In the major
ity of the cases submitted to him, he
said. other points are relied on by
the tenants, such as sufficiency of
service. lack of proper service and
the like. These cases he will con-
sider in turn and announce later his
decision as to each.
Because of what has been termed
the deplorable condition in the hous-
ing situation the justices of the Dis
trict supreme Court October last
passed an order suspending hearings
OF motions for summary judgments in
landlord and tenant cases, in which
reliance was placed on the validity of
the Ball act, pending the, decision of
The United States Supreme Court.
When the case involving the con-
stitutionality of, the rent law had not
been docketed in the highest court by
November IL. the District Supreme
Court revoked it's order of suspension
and began to hear arguments on mo-
tions for summary judgments.
The cases decided today by Justice
Siddons had accumulated from sew
eral motion days because of the ne
cessity to consider and determine the
many technical points made in efforts
of counsel for the tenants to hold the
cases for jury trials.
The United States Supreme Court
has assigned the Ball rent act case for
argument February %. and a decision
may be rendered by that tribunal be-
fore the cases decided today would be
reached on the docket of the Court of
Appeals.
