Blaine County Wins
Corn, Hog and Beet
Prizes at State Fair
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Harlem, Oct. 6.-Though Blaine
county did not have such a large ex-
hibit at the state fair it won quite q
number of prizes in the different d.
visions. 1t carried off first prizes on
corn, hogs and sugar beets which are
three of the important coming prod
ucts Of this country. 1t shows that
the farmers have a start in the right
direction and are raising produce of
the highest quality to be found any
where in the state.
1t is interesting to note that the
first prize on sugar beets was raised
by one of the new settlers who came
in here last spring from Idaho. He
came from a country where they make
a speciality of sugar beets and the fact
that he won the first prize at the state
fair speaks well for the Milk River
valley.

CHAPTER VI
An Unexpected Development


For weeks thereafter he was only
family conscious OF his surroundings
at intervals. Once, reused by some
injection, he was aware OF making q
brief deposition for use az the coro-
ner's inquest, and once Molly's face
appeared, wet with tears, out OF the
shadows, and her lips touched him
But he was desperately III, and II was
February before the crisis was past,
and he awakened. intensely weak, but
conscious. TO realize that he was In
Kitty's house, and that Kitty had
been nursing him.
Feebly he whispered his gratitude.
and asked forgiveness because he had
not been able to keep his promise to
look after Joe.
"You did all that could be done
WILL" she answered. cit was wonder
fully plucky. your bringing him to
Molly's house as you did. No one
could have done more"
He asked for Molly, and learned that
she had gone home on the day after
he had been brought to the house
Kitty promised to show Wilton Molly's
letters when he got better.
''Then you know we are engagedI"
asked Wilton.
Kitty smiled a little. II couldn't
help knowing that" she answered.
I'm glad for Molly's sake"
Wilton's mind had been all be-
wilderment as he racked his brains
for a clue to Joe's death. Had he been
sure 1t was murder. he could have
gone grimly to work on the solution
But there was always the doubt, the
paralyzing doubt, that IT had been an
accident, and that one OF the half
breeds had fred the shot.
Yet Bowyer must have known Of
Il Bowyer had sent the impOstors to
arrest him; he became more and more
convinced that Bowyer had learned
Of JOe's death that afternoon at the
portage, and had devised the arrest
to keep him from the meeting.
Among Wllton's callers was old Jim
Belts, to whom he extended his con-
fdence in a large measure.
"Bowyers guilty as ILL.," he do
clared. "Phayre mightn't have known.
guess he didn't. But Bowyer knew.
when he had Phayre bring that mo-
ton forward, that Joe wouldn't re-
turn. Put that thought In your pipe

"Jlm," said Wilton. I'm giving MP

added.

be. had had a good leeway TO develop
