FIyzIk Loses First Round In Legal
Battle.

Martin ]. Flyzik lost the first round
In the legal fight he, has become in
volved in over the charge of GRIMM
ally hbelling the president Of the
State Federation OF Labor. A weeks
extension of time was originally asked
tor by his attorney, George Wander
veer in which TO prepare his plea to
the court. The plea was heard last
Friday before Judge Calvin s. Hall,
where Mr.. Vanderveer entered a de-
murrer to the information on the
grounds that it did not state the re-
port had been circulated. The de-
murrer was oyerruled by the court,
and Mr.. Vanderveer entered a plea of
not guilty for his client.
It Is understood that considerable
time was devoted to the preparation
of the demurrer, although little time
was wasted by the court In overrul-
ing it.
Another blow was dealt Mr.. FIyzik
last week, IL the following press re-
port Is correct:
Earl D. Houck, legal counsel for
the national mine body, left here (Se-
attle) yesterday with his wife for
San Francisco. Although he looked
over the defense plans for Mr.. Flyzik,
he will have no part in defending him,
nor will the national body take a hand
In the case, he declared"

more radical and do a new sand dance
every morning. Some say 1t is too
radical and a peril to the Republic and
ought to be brought down to the runc-
tions of a pinocle party and discuss
nothing more alarming than chicken
patties.
1t goes on its own way without
bothering about either sand dancers
or pink tea-ites, achieving results be-
yond any other labor organization
anywhere.
4 Many persons think 1t ought to cut
loose and be a political party and get
control of the government and imi-
tate labor parties elsewhere.
It is evidence Of the intelligence
and good sense of the American work
er that he has no time for these kite
Nyings.
He has stuck to the economic field
as the right place for the operation
OF his organisation. and behold him
now, working on the economic field,
far better situated than any other
worker on earth.

Local with Short

Another interesting development
was the adoption by unanimous vote
last Sunday by the Black Diamond lo-
cal union, of which President Short is
a member, OF a resolution setting forth
that he was q member In good stand
ing of that body, and quoting sections
from both the international and dis
trict constitutions of the Mine Work
ers, which clearly defines that any
charges to be made against member
Of the miners organization must be
filed and the case tried first In the
local union Of which the alleged Of
fender is a member. The resolution
also sets forth the fact that Brother
Short has never been tried for any
offense Of any character whatsoever
at any time, and that no charges Of
any nature involving him are pend
ing in their local union. The resolu-
tion is signed by all the officers un-
der the seal Of the local union.
Letters continue to pour into Feder-
alton headquarters from local unions
IN every section OF the state, denounc-
ing the attack made by Flyzik and
pledging their support to the Fedora
ton head.

In Politics.

Better in every way. For while he
has been securing larger and more
nearly just share Of the fruits OF in
dustry, he has been steadily raising
organized labor in the respect Of the
country and as steadily multiplying
its power and influence for good.
These are wonderful results. Rea-
soning men that know them may well
give thanks as this year closes upon
such manifestations.
ParIiamentarism is the fatal lure in
other countries. the deadly trap, the
rock on which labor goes smash, soon
OF late.

Bedding cursed low and deep in his
threat, and the sound resembled NUT
tering thunder. The shade of anxiety
on his face changed to one of darh
gloom and passion. Next to his wife
and daughter there was nothing so
dear to him as his white horses. His

Then Bedding led the lame horse to-
ward the watering-trough, while the
two rangers went toward the house.
Dick was telling Laid about the af-
fair at Papago well when they turned
the corner under the porch. Nell was
sitting in the door. She rose with a
little scream and came flying toward
them.
"Now I'll get it." whispered Laid.
""The women II make a baby of me.
An shore l can't help myself"
"Oh, Laddy, you've been hurt!'
cried Nell, as with white cheeks and
dilating eyes she ran to him and
caught his arm.

The morning was bright. still. and
clear as crystal. The heat waves had

Nell sat perched high upoa the top

leaned beside her, now with his eyes

alfalfa field where Belongs thorough
breds grazed and pranced and romped
and whistled. Nell watched the

of watching them. But her gaze was

row, rock-bottomsd and rock-walled
gulch that could be damned at the
lower end by the dynamiting of a
ing cliffs above. An ineXhaustible
supply Of water could be stored there.
Furthermore, he had worked out an
irrigation plan to bring the water
down for mining uses, and to make a
paradise out of that part Of Altar
valley which lay in the United States.
Bedding claimed there was gold In the
arroyos, gold in the gulches, not in
quantities to make a prOspector re-
1oice, but enough to work for. And
the soil on the higher levels of Altar
valley needed only water to make 1t
grow anything the year round. Gale.

future for Forlorn River.
on the afternoon of the following
day Ladd Unexpectedly appeared lead
ing a lame and lathered horse into the
ward. The legs of the horse were raw
and red, and he seemed about to drop.
Ladd's sOmbrero was missing; he
wore a bloody scarf round his head;
sweat and blood and dust had formed
a crust on his face; little streams of
powdery dust slid from him and the
lower half of his Scared chaps were

II think he means my herder," add
ed Bedding. IF he does. that settles
any doubt 1t might be decent to have
-Yaqui-malo Papago-Si?"
The YaQui spread wide his hands.
Then he bent over the tracks in the
road. They led e~verywhither, but
gradually he worked out of the thick
net to take the trail that the cowboys
had followed down to the river. Beld-
ing and the rangers kept close at his
heels. He found a trampled spot where
the raiders had left their horses. From
this point a deeply defined narrow
trail led across the dry river bed.
The trail of the raiders took a
s~outheasterly course over untrodden
desert. The Yaqui spoke in his W
tongue, then in Spanish.
Think he means slow march, said
Bedding. daddy, from the looks of
that trail the Greasers are having
trouble with the horses"
TON, shore a boy could see that"
replied Laddy. ASK yaqui to tell rs
where the raiders are headin', an if
there's water"
1t was wonderful to see the Yaqui
point. With a stick he traced Il line in
the sand, and then at the end of that
anolher line at right angles. He made
crosses and marks and holes, and as
he drew the rude map he talked in
Yaqui, in Spanish with a word here
and there in English. Bedding trans
lated as best he could. The raiders
were heading southeast toward the
railroad that ran from NOgales down
into Sonora. 1t was four days travel,
bad trail, good sure waterhole one
day out; then water not sure for two
days. Raiders, not looking for pur-
suit, could be headed and ambushed
that night at the first waterhole, a
natural trap In a valley.
The men returned to the ranch.

sobs, seemed at his very door. In
the cold and gray dawn Dick saw
something white. Gun in hand, he
bounded across the room. Just out
side his door stood Blanco Sol.
It was not unusual for Sol to come
poking his head in at. Dicks door dur
ing daylight. But now in the early
dawn, when he had been locked in
the corral, it meant raiders-no less.
Dick called softly to the snorting
horse; and, hurriedly getting into
clothes and boots, he went out with a
gun In each hand. Sol was quivering In
every muscle. Like a dog he followed
Dick around the house. Hearing
shouts in the direction of the c~orrals,
Gale bent swift steps that way.
He caught up with Jim Lash, who
was also leading a white horse.
They reached the QArral to find
Bedding shaking, roaring like a mad
man. The gate was open, the corral
was empty. atom, where's the Papa

Hes gone, Laddy-gone! !"
"Double-crossed us. eh? l see here's
a crowbar lynn by the gatepost. That
Indian fetched it from the forge. 1t
was used to pry out the bolts an
steeples. Tom, I reckon there wasn't
much time lost forcin' that gate"
Daylight made clear some details of
the raid. The cowboys found tracks
of eight raiders coming up from the
river bed where their horses had been
left. Evidently the Papago had been
false to his trust. His few per-
sonal belongings were gone. More
horses were found loose in the fields.
The men soon rounded up eleven Of
the whites, all more or less fright
ened.
Bedding was unconsolable. He
cursed and rallied, and finally declared
he was going to trail the raiders.
"Tom, you just amt agoin' to do
nothin' of the kind" said Laddy,
coolly.
Bedding groaned and bowed his head.

presently. 1--WE got to stand it. I
can't leave the women and my prop

The probability of a visit from the
raiders, and a dash holder than usual
on the outskirts of a ranch, led Beld-
ing to build a new corral. 1t was not
slightly to the eye, but 1t was high and
exceedingly strong. The gate was a
massive affair, swinging on huge
hinges and fastening with heavy
chains and padlocks.
AT night Bedding locked his white
horses in this corral. The Papago
herdsmen slept in the adobe shed adj
joining. Bedding did not imagine that
any wooden fence, however substan-
TALLY built, could keep determined
raiders from breaking it down. They
would have to take time, however. and
make considerable noise; and Belding
relied on these facts. Bedding did not
believe a band of night raiders would
hold out against a hot rifle fire. Ladd
did not share Belongs sanguine
hopes.
One January morning Dick Gale
was awakened by a shrill. menacing
cry. He leaped up bewildered and
frightened. He heard Belongs boom

steps on f%agstones. But these had not
awakened him. Heavy breaths, almost
