Shooting STARR
IS KNOCKED out
Verne Spencer Puts Bad
Man From Bald Ridge
To Sleep Twice

Laboring under the m~isapprehen-
sion that he was the White Hope,
Howard B. Starr, of Bald Ridge, tied
hall on Friday afternoon and took
the count twice in a three round Ego"
declared to be the best sporting event
in Cody for many a day.
The men were evenly matched, and
in deadly earnest as the result of i'll
feeling between them growing out of
Stars recent gun play when he took
$40 from Spencer which he asserted
he had lost in a poker game.
Witnesses to the last encounter are
Of the opinion that Starr had on brass
knuckles, MS he wore a pair of gloves
which he kept pulling up as if to con-
ceal something.
Spencer was in conversation with
Frank Trayilla when Starr came in
the pool hall and interrupted with
the boast thai he could whip Spencer
on the spot where he stood. He then
renewed the quarrel over the poker
game and struck two or three blows
at Spencer before the latter retaliat-
cd.
When he got into action after be-
ing hit on the check, Firpo, "the Wild
Bull Of the Pampas" was a sheep
compared to the way the unusually
good-natured Verne went Mt him. He
put all his pent-up wrath into the
blows he landed on the belligeront
Starr, and they were many.
Earnest Edwards started to separ-
ate them but the spectators told him
they were "doing fine" so they made
a ring and let them finish it.
Starr was knocked down twice be-
fore he finally went out for good.
The second time he was knocked
down, Spencer was urged to stomp"
on him, but he was n good sportsman
and told him to get up and fight if
he was going TO" and waited for him
TO get to his feet before he landed on
him.
The last time Starr went down he
laid on his back unconscious for sew
eral minutes while Spencer went to
have his hand dressed which he had
injured when he struck a picture
frame instead of Stars visage.
The outcome Of the battle was en-
tirely satisfactory to all who saw
II as, in addition to the fact that Starr
started II and was believed to be us
ing brass knuckles, IL Is the general
opinion he has been acting as n stool
pigeon for the prosecuting attorneys
office.
Some time ago when Starr picked
n fight with A. T.. Evans Of Sunlight
and knocked him unconscious for 90
minutes, it was charged that he wore
brass knuckles under the gloves he
had put on for the occasion.

for this encounter since court closed

The daily quantity of whiskey in

Dear Doctor:
Reference is made to your letter of
the 18th inst. relative to the proprie-
ty of prescribing or administering a
quantity of whiskey in excess of one
pint in ten days to a patient now un-
der your care.
While the case mentioned by you
is undoubtedly m%eritorious, we are
compelled to call your attention to
Sections II and n of Regulations go,
which state that the total amour of
spirituous liquor administered or pre-
scribed by one. or, more physicians to

You will, therefore, see that thi.

of one pint may be legally prescribed
or administered to one patient in a
ten day period.

5000 cases of whiskey worth $1,O00,-
900 which was withdrawn from a

through the connivance of a high pro-

him into smuggling against them. This
expression of abandon and surrender,
of absolute trust, he reserved for the
master alone. In fact he never re-
garded the members of the family in
any other light than possessions of
the love-master.
Also White Fang had early come to
differentiate between the family and
| the servants of the household. The
latter were afraid of him, while he
| merely refrained from attacking
them. This because he considered
that they were likewise possessions
| of the master. Between White Fang
/ and them existed a neutrality and no
more. They cooked for the master
| and washed the dishes and did other
| things, just as Matt had done up in
the Klondike. They were, in short,
| appurtenances of the household
outside the household there was
even more for White Fang to learn.
| The masters domain was wide and
complex, yet it had it's metes and
bounds. The land itself ceased at the
| county road. Outside was the COM
mon domain of all gods-the roads
and streets. Then inside other fences
were the particular domains of other
gods. A myriad laws governed all
these things and determined conduct;

| maintain a dignity that was almost
| solemnity. He ignored her existence
whenever 1T was possible, and made
| it a point to keep out of her. way.
When he saw her or heard her COM
| ing, he got up and walked off.
There was much in other matters
for White Fang to learn. Life in the
Northland was simplicity itself when
compared with the complicated af-
fairs of Sierra Vista. First Of all,
he had to learn the family of the mas
ter. In a way he was prepared to do
this. AS Mit-sah and Kloo-kooch had
belonged to Gray Beaver. sharing his
food. his fire and his blankets. SO now,
at Sierra Vista, belonged to the love-
master ali the denizens of the house.
But in this matter there was diff
ference, and many differences. Sierra
Vista was far vaster affair than the
tepee of Gray Beaver. There were
many persons to be considered. There
was Judge Scott and there was his wife.
There were the masters two sisters,
Beth and Mary. There was his wife,
Alice, and then there were his children,
| Weldon and Maud. toddlers of four
and six. There was no way for any
body to tell him about all these peo-
pie, and of blood-ties and relation
| ship he knew nothing whatever and
| never would be capable of knowing.
Yet he quickly worked it out that
all of them belonged to the master.
Then, by observation, whenever op-
portunity offered, by study of action,
speech, and the very intonations of
the voice, he slowly learned the inti-
macy and the degree of favor they
| enjoyed with the master. And by
| this ascertained standard. White
| Fang treated them accordingly. What
was of value to the master he valued
what was dear to the master was to
| be cherished by White Fang and
| guarded carefully.
Thus it was with the two children
Evening star., 1924-08-25

All his life he had disliked children.
He hated and feared their hands. The
lessons were not tender that he had
learned OF their tyranny and cruelty
in the days of the Indian villages.
When Weldon and Maud had first ap-
preached him, he growled warningly
and looked malignant. A cuff from
the master and sharp word had then
compelled him to permit their ca
resses, though he growled and
growled under their tiny hands, and
in the growl there was no grooming
note. Later, he observed that the
boy and girl were of great value in
the masters eyes. Then it was that
no cuff nor sharp word was neces-
sary before they could pat him.
Yet White Fang was never effusive-
ly affectionate. He yielded to the
masters children with an Ill but hon
est grace and endured their fooling
as one would endure painful opera
tion. When he could no longer en-
dure, he would get up and stalk de-
terminedly away from them. But
after a time, he grew even to like
the children. Still he was not de-
monstrative. He would not go up to
them. On the other hand, instead of
walking away at sight of them, he
still later, it was noticed that a
pleased light came into his eyes when
he saw them approaching, and that he
looked after them with an appearance
of curious regret when they left him
for other amuSements.
All this was a matter of develop
ment, and took time. Next in his re-
gard, after the children, was Judge
Scott. There were two reasons, pos
sibly, for this. First, he was evil
IDENTIFY a valuable possession of the
masters, and next, he was undemon-
strativve. White Fangg liked to lie
at his feet on the wide porch when
he read the newspaper, from time to
time favoring White Fang with look
or a word-untroubleSom tokens that
he recognized White Fang's presence
and existence. But this was only
when the master was rot around
| When the master appeared. all other
beings ceased to exist SO sas as White
Fang was concerned.
White Fang allowed all the mem
bers of the family to pet him and
make much of him; but he never gave
to them what he gave to the master.
No caress of theirs could put the love-
Groom into his throat, and. try as
they would, they could never persuade

CHAPTER Ill
The Gods Domain.

Not only was White Fang adaptable
by nature, but h ehhad travelled much,
and knew the meaning and necessity
Of adjustment Here, in Sierra VISTA
which was the name of Judge Scott's
place, White Fang quickly began to
make himself at home. He had no
further serious trouble with the dogs
They knew more about the ways of
the Southland gods than did he, and in
accompanied the gods inside the
house. Wolf that he was. and unpre-
cedented as it was, the gods had
sanctioned his presence. and they, the
dogs of the gods, could only recog-
nize this sanction.
Dick, perforce, had to go through
a flew stiff formalities at first, after
which he calmly accepted White Fang
as an addition to the premises. Had
Dick had his way, they would have
been good friends; but White Fang
was averse to friendship. All he
asked of other dogs was to be let
alone. His whole life he had kept
aloof from his kind, and he still de-
sired to keep aloof. Dicks overtures
bothered him, so he snarled Dick
away. In the north he had learned
the lesson that he must let the mas
ter's dogs alone, and he did not forget
that lesson now. But he insisted on his
own privacy and self-seclusion, and so
thoroughly ignored Dick that that
good -natured creature finally gave him
up and scarcely took as much inter-
est in him as in the hitching-post
near the stable.
Not so with Collie. While she ac-
cepted him because it was the man.
date of the gods, that was no reason
that she should leave him in peace.
Woven into her being was the mem
ory Of countless crimes he and his
had perpetrated against her ances
try. Not in day nor a generation
were the ravaged sheep-folds to be
forgotten. All this was a spur to her,
pricking her to retaliation. She
could not fly in the face Of the gods
who permitted him, but that did not
prevent her from making life miser-
able for him in petty ways. A feud,
ages old, was between them, and she,
for one, would see to it that he was
reminded.
So Collie took advantage of her
sex to pick upon White Fang and
maltreat him. His instinct would not
permit him to attack her, while her
persistence would not permit him to
ignore her. When she rushed at him
he turned his unprotected shoulder
to her sharp teeth and walked away
stiff-legged and stately. When she
forced him too hard, he was COM
pelied to go about in a circle, his
shoulder presented to her. his head
turned from her, and on his face and
in his eyes a patient and Nored ex-
preston. Sometimes, however, a nip
on his hind quarters hastened his re-
treat and zade 1t anything but state
". But as a rule he managed to
Evening star., 1924-08-25

yet he did not know the speech of
the gods. nor was there any way for
him to learn save by experience. He
obeyed his natural impulses until they
ran him counter to some law. When
this had been done aefew times, he
learned the law and after that OBJ
served it.
But most potent in his education
were the cuff of the masters hand,
the censure of the masters voice. Be-
cause of White Fang's very great
love, a cuff from the master hurt him
far more than any beating Gray Bea-
yer or Beauty Smith had ever given
him. They had hurt only the flesh
Of him: beneath the flesh the spirit
had still ragged, splendid and irwin
chile. But with the master the cuff
was always too light to hurt the
flesh. Yet it went deeper. 1t was an
expression of the masters disap-
proval, and White Fang's spirit wiltet
under it.
