Omaha Contractor Held
for Wife's Brutal Murder

Omaha, Neb.-John Warren Hahne,
er, is being held without bonds in the
city Jail facing a charge of first de-
gree murder in connection with the
death Of his second wife, Mae Hahne,
formerly Mrs. Hiram Bennett of James,
vile, Wis, and of Colorado Springs,
Col.
Mrs. Hahne's body, with her head
gashed and battered, was found in
the basement of their home.
Friends and relatives related a col
orful tale of Hahne's career, which
extended from a district politicians
job for Tammany in New York to
the race tracks in Kentucky and the
social world of San Francisco
According to Hahne and friends, he
was once a power" in Tammany
affairs in New York about 1911.
Hahne also admitted that he gained
notoriety in San Francisco by fol-
lowing a wealthy Omaha widow, Mrs.
Katherin Shary, to sea via airplane,
showering the deck of her steamer
with flowers as a token of his love.
1t was this episode, he said, that he
married his wife from Wisconsin.
Police are working on the theory
that Mrs. Hahne was first struck while
she was eating breakfast in the din
ing room, and that after being felled
she was beaten and thrown down the
stairway where her head was badly
hacked with the Ratchet and hammer
found hanging on a bench.

A Girl Rides Into the Range

She was perhaps two or three and
twenty, slender, of medium height.
with clear, grey, fearless eyes. and
hair Of pale brown with gold flecks
in it, coiled up loosely about her head.
Her open mackinaw revealed an
almost boyish figure, slender and
long-waisted. She wore corduroy
brooches and riding CATERS; and there
was about her that hardly definable.
but unmistakable air of breeding that
crops out in such unexpected places
along the Anglo-Saxon frontier.
From a respectful distance the men
we're staring at her, each asking Lees
unspoken question as to what such a
girl was doing in Little Falls.
That she was riding into the range
was evident. Had she been riding out,
the men would have known of her
But-whose daughter was she?

BAR Debt FROM
DAWES PARLEY
q. S. Enjoys to Insist That
Annuities Be Only Topic
at Conference.

Washington, D. C.-The United
States will be represented at the meet
ing of allied finance ministers, which
opens at Paris this week, by Ambas-
sador Kellogg, who will leave his Lon
don post; Ambassador Herrick and
Col. James A. Logan, the American
observer on the Preparations commits
sion.
In officially announcing that KEEL
logg would attend the meeting, a
high official of the state department
today emphasized that this did not
imply that the question of allied debts
would be brought up. The ambassa-
dor to England was designated as one
of the American representatives only
because it is believed the background
he acquired at the recent London con-
ference, of which the coming meeting
is an outgrowth, would be of value
in the discussions next week.
Although it is known that the Brit
ish and French governments are desir-
GUS of discussing the question of allied
debts at the Paris gathering, the Unit
ed States has taken definite stand
against addition to the agenda of any
question other than the apportionment
Of annuities under the Dawes plan,
the original purpose of the meeting
The American delegates have clear
instructions to discuss nothing except
the Dawes annuities. 1t is under
stood that any attempt to introduce
the question of allied debts would
cause the immediate withdrawal Of
the United States representatives.

Little Falls.
them Lee, hearing a muttering be-
hind him, turned, to see the big breed
staring at the girl and whispering ex-
citedly to his companion. His red
headed partner was tugging at his
arm as If to restrain him.
"You d-n fool, Pierre!" Lee heard
him expostulate.
Suddenly the breed shook off the
others grip and lurched forward.
Planting himself in front of the girl
he leaned toward her, with an ex-
preston on his face that brought the
blood into her cheeks.
Before he could utter a word, how
ever, Lee stepped quietly into the
breach with that instructive air of au-
thority which he retained, despite the
shedding OF his uniform.
"That'll be ALL" he said crisply.
The breed turned on him and broke
into string of oaths.
"Say, whadya mean?" he shouted.
"You dom know me. He dom know
who he's talking to, eh, Shorty? I'm
Pierre Cauchon." He doubled
brawny forearm. "Say, young Teller,
you see dis? Dere amt no man either
side Of de range can say 'dat'll be ALL

fight, mebbe?"
Lee, mindful Of the rigid code of
conduct that bound him, shook his
head
81 never fight if can help it." he
answered.
The two men snickered, and there
came murmur of disgust from the
crowd, which, till that moment, had
been decidedly favorable to Lee.
The breed turned about. "He never
fight if he can help it," he jeered.
"You hear dat, boys?" He turned to
Lee again. "Mebbe you like to set
up de drinks, den?" he inquired
blandly.
ST don't drink" answered Lee with
complete equanimity.
"Well, whadya t'ink of dat?" cried
Pierre to the crowd again. HE don
fight an he dom drink. You sure are
one d-n four-fusher," he grihned
belligerently in Lees face.
Lee, relieved to see, without turn
ing his head, that the girl had taken
the opportunity to slip away, returned
Pierre's glare calmly. The breed was
posing himself ready to strike. but
something in Lees aspect, some un.
certainty, the inability to size him
up, checked him. Perhaps he sensed
how quickly Lees right arm, hang
ing negligently before him, would rise
to the defensive; perhaps he did not
like the look of Lees left.

CHAPTER /
Sergeant Anderson Rides
Into Little Falls

Lee Anderson, sergeant in the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police, had
been leading his horse up the last
hill. Now he stopped at the top and
lit his pipe, letting the animal snatch
"a few blades of the sparse grass that
grew among the ferns and raspberry
brambles beside the cart track.
There were. perhaps, thirty-three or
four years to his credit. His rather
lined, deeply sunburned face and
throat contrasted markedly with the
edging of white flesh at the V-top of
his open shirt. Lee, in his prospec-
tors clothing, appeared to be typically
one Of those reserved, quiet, self-con-
tanned men whom the north breeds
His rather heavy horse, combina-
ton of pack and saddle, was well
laden behind the rolled blankets that
formed a parapet across it's shoulders.
Lee inhaled with delight the warm,
steamy exhalations Of tho earth, rich
with the added debris Of the year.
He turned and looked forward, be-
yond the settlement of Little Falls
living at the foot Of the slope in
front of him, the la1s of the settle
ments on his side of Stony range.
It was an unkempt, untidy little
place, created by the advent of the
lumber companies a few years before,
and struggling among the knee-high
stumps of what had been virgin forest
within the decade.
After his belated return from
France, only to find the old North
west mounted, of which he had been
a member, merged in the new Do
minion body, Lee himself had been
stationed at Manistree. He had been
in the police eight years before the
war. It was the only life that APP
pealed to him. His service had ex-
nired during his term at the front, but
his first act on returning had been to
rejoin.
Inspector Crawley had sent for him
a few days later.

thing about the case, though"
mo, sir. 1t must have happened

"Oh, 1t happened a deuce of a time
before you went to France, Anderson.
Twenty-Five years ago, more or less.
Might have left the poor devil alone,
especially as he's been q fugitive so
long. But it's murder, Sergeant, and
well, the new police have got to
show themselves just as efficient
blood hounds as the old force. The
papers in the case have just come
through ottawa.
"This man Pelly appears to have
killed a man in Toronto in the nine
ties for insulting his wife. Those de-
tails are not given. 1t appears a
tip came down some time ago that
Pelly has been living in the Siston
lake region. on the other side of
Stony range, for a good many years.
Pelly appears to have got wind of
this and made quick getaway. Now
the words come in that he's been
seen in the district. May be true or
false.

/, part he summed them up as being of
the average prospector type.
Among them, however, appeared to
be a few Of those hard-bitten charac-
| ters who are to be found in every gold
rush. Most of them had been drink
| ing hard, and all seemed embittered
| by their experiences of the summer.
They were freely cursing their i'll
luck.
Lees attention was first drawn to
the two men who were seated Oppo-
site him by the fact that they took
no part in this chorus Of denunciation.
| A glance showed him that they were
not prospectors, and that the under
standing between them was an init
mate one.
One was short, thick-set, muscular
red-haired man, with one Of the hard
est and most repulsive faces that Lee
had ever seen. The other, apparently
his partner, was a huge half-breed
with great muscular torso covered
with black hair, and long gorilla-like
arms
EFF 1 had that guy here what started
that yarn about the gold in Stony
range" began man on Lees
right.
"Ah, for the love of Mike, cut out
that spiel, Bill" shouted another
across the table. "D'you think you're
the only real fools ben summerin' in
the ranger
"Old Pelly never found no gold mine.
He was cracked about it. Eff he had,
wouldn't others have got wise to it,
with half the district hangin' about
the range spyin' on him?'
Nobody knows what happened to
him, do they?'
"Jest disappeared. Mebbe he had
stroke in the woods or somethin'. No
body's seen nor heard Of him this good
while past"
Lee absorbed this conversation
without feeling that he had got very
far. Pelly had discovered profile
NAUTICAL gold mine. Pelly had iisap-
peared; it began to seem probable
that the report of his return was
false. If these men had been pros
pecting the range all the sum mer, it
was probable that If Pelly had re-
turned to the vicinity they would have
heard Of it. In which case someone
would have corrected the statement
that nothing was known about it.
While he listened Lee noticed that
the two men opposite him were like
wise taking in every word. The big
breed was obviously under the in
fiuence Of liquor, and his little COM
panion was not only watching the
company but also watching him. AT
| times he would turn and whisper In
his companions ear. And once, in
his close scrutiny Of the company, he
turned his gaze on Lee.
For a moment Lee felt chilled by
the eyes of the little red-haired man.
They were pale grey, CLASSY, venom
Ous They looked like a snakes eyes.
Lee, though his gaze was as steady as
the others, did not like the look of
the little red-haired man.
The conversation drifted. BY twos
and threes the men began to make
their way back to the bar. Lee had
risen from the table and left the din
ing-room, intending to take smoke
on the stoop, when he heard a femi-
nine voice, and found himself staring
in surprise at a girl who had just
come in and was in conversation with
the landlord.
For this was not In the least the
| type of girl whom one might look for
In such a place as Little Falls.
