Henry cried for liberty or death, and
the shouts of treason failed then and
there to save Virginia for the king.
The lads brain whlrled. What did
all this mean2 Who was this king and
what had he Scnei He had known
but the one from whom he had run
away. When he got Dave alone he
would learn and learn and learn
everything. And then the young
people came quietly In and sat down
quietly, and Colonel Dale, dIvining
what they wanted, got Dave started
on stories of the wild wilderness that
was his hOme-the first chapter In the
Had of Kentucky-the land Of dark
forests and cane thickets that sepa-
rated Catawbas, Creeks and Chero
KEGS on the south from DelawareS,
Wyandottes and Shawnees on the
north, who fought one another, an0
all of whom the whites must fight.
How the first fort was built, and the
first women stood on the banks of the
Kentucky river. He told of the perils
and hardships of the first journeys
thither-hghts with wild beasts and
wild men, chases, hand-tO-hand COM
bats, escapes and massacres - and
only the breathing of his listeners
could be heard, save the sound of his
own voice. And he came finally to
the story of the attack on the fort,
the raising of small hand above the
cane, palm outward, and the swift
dash of q slender brown body into the
fort, and then, seeing the boys face
turn scarlet, he did not tell how that
same lad had slipped back into the
woods even while the fight was going
on, and slipped back with the bloody
scalp Of his enemy, but ended with
the timely coming of the Virginians,
led by the lads father, who got his
death-wound at the very gate. The
tense breathing of his listeners cul-
minated now IN one general deep
breath.
Colonel Dale rose and turned to
General WillOughby.
"And that's where he wants to take
our boys"
"Oh, it's much safer now" said the
hunter. 1--WE have had no trouble for
some time, and there's no danger in

tribe of Shawnees by whom he had
been captured and adopted as son
OF the chief Kahtoo. Re Is given
shelter and attracts the favorable
attention of Dave Yandell, a leader
among the settlers. The boy warns
his new friends Of the coming OF q
Ehawnee war party. The fort Is
attacked, and only saved by the
timely appearance OF a party OF
Vlrginians. The leader Of these Is
fatally wounded, but in his dying
moments recognizes the fugitive
youth as his son. At Red Oaks,
plantation on the James river. Viz
ginia, Colonel Dale's home, the boy
appears with a message for the
colonel, who after reading 1t intro
duces the bearer to his daughter
Barbara as her cousin. Erskine

Mrs. julius Nelson and children
were victims of an outrageous
april fool' last week. Early in
the week, Mrs Nelson received a
telegram, supposedly from her hus-
band in Salt Lake, asking her to
get household goods ready to ship
and come to Salt Lake at once. She
followed the suggestion and left for
Salt Lake, with the children, the
next day. Meanwhile. after begin
ming the journey, she sent a tele-
gram to inform Mr.. Nelson when to
expect her. When she arrived in
Salt Lake, Mr.. Nelson was unable
to account for her presence. He had
not sent the telegram asking her to
come. The telegram. it is inferred,
was sent by man who had his own
private ends to forward and he was
unprincipled enough to send bo-
gus message, forging Mr.. Nelson's
name. Mrs. Nelson annd children
returned to Oakley the next day.
We understand that this april
fool" joke CD will furnish grounds
for some proceedings at court.

While it is still impossible to
state definitely, it is thought that
there will be some water available
for use during the early portion of
the 1922 irrigation season for which
no charge will be made.
In order to protect all Users and
make an equitable distribution I
such water possible, it is planned to
prorate the estimated so called free
water" among all users, but deliver
les will started on a basis of a
charge of fifty percent of the
amount used. If it is then deter
mined that there will be available
free water, such charge of fifty
percent will be cancelled. Should i.
turn out that there is no free water
available, the charge for fifty per-
cent for the water will be left stand.
No water of any description will
be delivered to those who have not
paid their maintenance assessments
