There was a gasp Of incredulity.
The leader had turned back to the
smuggler's landing. The older pri-
vateersmen followed. The deserters
stumbled among their wine casks.
Then the leader of them, John Crack

smuggler's stern. A cloaked figure
stepped out and grasped Laftte's

A case which deserves the SYM
patty of all has come to our atten-
ton this week. Last Saturday
morning the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gust Salli at Kimball was burned to
the ground, the household goods and
clothing of the family being COM
pletely destroyed in the space of a
few minutes. The mother had gone
to a neighbours early that morning
on an errand, leaving her four child
rem alone in the house. When she
returned she found the house in
flames, and with the assistance of
neighbors was just able to snatch
her children from the fire which was
fast consuming the house. Her
eldest child, girl of four years, was
able to tell what happened while
they We're alone in the house. A
younger child had climbed to n high
shelf, secured matches and set fire to
a tablet of paper resulting in the
destruction of their home.
The immediate needs of the family
for the present could be met by do
nations CT clothing for the children
and also bedding. Anything in this
line may be sent to the Salli family
in care of Mrs. j. p. Rogers at

KilIs Wolf in Yard

How would you like to have the
equivalent to sac walk into your
yard? Pretty easy, Ell? But this
is just what happened to Alex Buc-
canero, a farmer at Iron Belt, ac-
eording to the story he related to
the county clerk when he appeared
to claim the bounty on a large
timber wolf.
Here's how the meal ticket came
to this Iron Belt resident; Early
Monday morning he was awakened
by noise in his yard 1t was early
too, for he said it was around 8
O'Clock He arose and went to in
vestigate and discovered that the
commotion was caused by wolf that
included Buccaneers yard in his
nocturnal migrations. But it was
bad move for Mr.. Wolf, for Mr..
Buccanero filled his carcass with o
charge from a shotgun. Dead wolf.
Heap big bounty-twenty plunkers
from the county and twenty from the
state. Beats all how easy it comes
to some fellows.
Joe Page, of Saxon, is getting to
be some wolf slayer. He appeared
at the county clerks office again
this week with the pelt of large
one. This is the second time for
Joe within short time.
Paying wolf bounties is one of the
financial burdens the county has to
bear And in the course of year
it amounts to quite sum. Last
year Iron county paid out total of
81 $50 in wolf bounties.

Look for Gravel Beds.

could not be located. Gravel beds
from which the run of the pit"
could be taken and hauled directly
