his awful journey. his right arm grasp
ing the dead man, his helpless lief,
huggfng the tourniquet-stick against
his side.
He stumbled over the rough ground
until he reached the cleared road
through the trees. Here the going was
easier, but the burden numbed his
right hand and shoulder, the throbbing
pain In his left seemed 10 beat time to
his footsteps. and the ache Of the
eramping muscles increased the agony
Of his wound and began to spread
down his body.
A wind sprang up, driving gusts Of
whirllng snow into his eyes. A deadly
~lethargy was creeping W him. and
presently. turning his head to shield
his eyes from the beating blasts. he
saw a trickle of crimson on the road
behind him.

was only after an almost %superhuman
struggle that he could get Joe over
his shoulder. He knew that If he vas
forced TO set the body down again he
could never lift IL.
With knees bent. tripping over the
roots OF the trees. and Keeling
through a swimming world, he stag
gered on. and on and on. And neither
his anger nor the thought Of Kitty
could have kept his resolution through
that nightmare of pain. 1t was all Joe

So the miles reeled off behind him,
while the wind increased and the snow
fell thicker along the way. At last the
trees opened. and the bleak shore OF
Big Muskeg lay before him. a desert
Of Ice and snow. with the bluffs oppo-
site, and beyond them the trees once
more.
At once the fierce swirl of the gale
caught him, whistling like sirens, Dor

The ice that fringed his
blinded him and pulled them
from the lids when he tried to open

Tucson. Jan. 1S-Twenty-nine per sons were arrested and six autOmo- piles were seized by federal prohi- bitiou officers in Pima and MaricOp1 counties during the first 15 days Of January, according to an announce ment made last night by Mike Cassi- dy, director of federal prohibition en- forcement for Arizona.
 These figures do not include the arrests made by county and city of ficers who have given our department excellent cooperation" Director Gas sidy said.
 We are naturally gratified at Judge Sawtelle's statement made from the bench today that he would impose prison sentences in cases where the law permits such sen tences. since the danger of a jail sentence will aid in keeping down liquor law yiolators in Arizona, ther''- by making the problem of federal prohibition enforcement easier

THRILLING CLIMAX ENDS GREAT BEAR FIGHT AT ALMA, NM.

Globe, Ariz., Jan. 3-Howard Parks. cattleman of Dripping Springs was ill the city yesterday and told the bear story of the season.
 Jim and Bob Henry, said Parks. run a herd in the range near Alma, close to the line between New Mexico and Arizona. Of late they have lost some calves for which they blamed an old black bear, whose tracks they found on their range, and conseuuent- ly, although neither was armed. when the brothers caught sight of bruin a few weeks ago, they gave chase with their COW ponies.
 The bear ran, said Parks, and the ponies ran and the brothers shouted and pursued until the horses were tired out. Over the rough mountain country the chase led. At last the bear was worn down to a walk and the COW ponies to shuttle. The country grew rougher and rougher and the ponies stopped The bear was making slow progress toward q mounted. Then Jim, the elder, con ceived a brilliant idea
 'Tha old bear is so tired you can head him anywhere" he said Head him up that canyon and I'll cut over the divide and get ahead Of him. When he comes up the canyon fll hide, and when he gets close I'll knock him on the head with q pole"
 It was so ordered; and Jim took hind a boulder at tthe head Of q steep cascade. They only pass up ward was in the bed of the creek. The bear appeared, as per program, fleeing from Bob, and started to climb the acclivitty Jim stepped out to smite him with mighty club which he had gathered. His foot slipped and he slid down tthe slip pery incline and under tthe most as tonished bear in the southwest. The Homeric combat which fol i lowed, as told by Pasks, deserves a 1 place in history beside the tale of St. George and the dragon.
