WILL OPEN UP
 NOTED TEXAS
 CREEK PROPERTIES

depth the spectacular ore showings on the noted Texas Creek Comstock group. on the upper end of Texas Creek, will be undertaken during the com ing summer by the Hyder Lead Mines, Inc by which name the former Texas Creek Comstock Mining Company will be known, as a result of action take at a special share holders meeting held here Sat- urday.
 The contemplated develop ment program, as outlined in c. communication from President Wellington Beaton to Secre, tary Ernest Blue will involve expenditure of approximately $25,000 on the property this year. According to MT. Beaton the company proposes tn prove, the lower principal showing by driving the present tunnel tt the main vein, drifting on it's strike and raising to the sul face. A similar plan of devel- opment will also be employed in proving up the somewhat smaller but no less impressive surface showings located far ther up the hill. In addition the program will of necessity involve the performance of considerable surface work, in- cluding the erection of camp buildings and other facilities.
 MT. Beaton's message states that the financing of the com pany is proceeding in excel- lent manner, as indicated by the fact that the disposal of a quarter of the initial stock is sue has been concluded and sale of a further quarter is al ready practically assured. MT. Beaton says that the property and the company arrange ments are regarded in favol. able light in Vancouver and he expects no trouble in finan. ing, judging from the favol, able reception so far accorded the company's proposals.
 R. c. Mellin, c. E. who spent considerable time on the co1n- pany properties last summer and fall, will be in charge o1 the new development program and is expected here as soon as transportation conditions ill the Texas Creek section are favorable to operation.
 The decision to open up thls splendid property, is gratify- ing to the community as & whole, as it is rated by experl- enced mining men among the most promising in the Texas Creek area. The group in- cludes total of 20 claims, To- cated on the south side of Tea. as Creek and is in close proA imity to the Texas Creek tran.
 The act of changing the com, pany's name from Texas CreeK Comstock Mining Company tt Hyder Lead Mines, Inc. in- wolves no changes in the con trol or managing personnel and is attributed by officials to a desire to adopt a less cum. bersome title and also on, more fully descriptive of the character of mineral develop ment which forms the obJec, of the company's activities.

Athens, Jan. 4 An announcement
tantamount to the declaration of a mill

General Pangalos caused a great sensa-
ton. In a speech at & military banquet,
Gen. PangalOs declared that henceforth

without date. Recalling the revolution
of 1909, Gen. PanPaIos said
AS a result OF that revolution Greece

who made Greece powerful tried the
experiment Of parliamentary elections
and from that time the power Of Greece

CHAPTER w
Barry LspeIIe.

SO this was Barry Lapelle. This was
the wild rake who might yet become
his brother-in-law, and whose sprightly
enterprise had been frustrated by a
woman who had, herself, stolen away
in the dark of far-off night.
AS they rode slowly along, side by
side, into the thick of the forest, Ken
meth found himself studying the lovers
face. He looked for signs of the reck-
less, dissipated life he was supposed to
have led-and found them not. La
pelle's eyes were bright and clear, his
skin unblemished, his hand steady, his
infrequent smile distinctly engaging.
The slight, disdainful twist never left
the corner of his mouth, however. 1t
lurked there as a constant reminder to
al the world that he, Barry Lapelle,
was devil of fellow and was proud
Of it, While he was affable, there was
no Disgusting the fact that he was also
condescending. Unquestionably he was
arrogant, domineering, even pompous
at times, absolutely sure of himself.
A lordly fellow, decided Kenneth,
and forthwith took a keen dislike for
him. Nevertheless, it was not difficult
to account for Viola's interest in him
nor. to a certain extent, the folly
which led her to undertake the exploit
of the night before. Barry Lapelle
would have his way with women.
"You come from Kentucky, Mr..
Gwynne," Lapelle was saying. II am
from Louisiana. My father came up
to ST. Louis a few years ago after es-
fahlishing a line of steamboats, between
Terre Haute and the gulf. Two Of our
company's boats come as far north as
Lafayette, so l spend considerable of
my time there at this season of the
year. / understand you have spent
several years in the East, at college
and in pursuit of your study of the
law"
Principally in New York and Phila-
delphia," responded the other, subdu-
ing smile. "My fame seems to have
preceded me, Mr.. Lapelle. The farmer
with whom spent the night was thor
oughly familiar with my affairs"
'You are an object of interest to
every one in this section" said Lapelle,
indifferently. "Where did you spend
the night?"
"At the farm of man named Striker
--Phineas Striker
LapelIe started. His body appeared
to stiffen in the saddle.

woods, Mr. Gwynne, for one reason er
mother, an it must ha' been a mighty
good reason, cause from what know
about Barry Lapelle he allus knows
which way he's goin' to leap long be
fore he leaps. He's sorter like paint
er in that way"
"It is very strange" he said, frown-
ing. 1t was suddenly revealed to him
that if Lapelle had tricked him ii was
because the messenger had brought
word from Viola, at the farmhouse,
and that the bafIled lovers might even
now be laying fresh plans to outwit
the girls mother. This fear was in
stantly dissipated by the next remark

"It is strange to most of us. Unless
I am mistaken, sir, you are Mr.. Ken

The other smiled. my approach ap-
pears to be fairly well heralded We're
vain person 1 should feel highly
complimented."
Then you are Kenneth Gwynne?'
said the stranger, rather curtly.
"Yes. That is my name."
Permit me to make myself known to
you. My name is Lapelle-Barry La
pelle. While mine no doubt is unfa-
milisr to you, yours is well known to
me. IN fact, it is known to every one
in these parts. You have long been
expected You will find the town anx-
iously awaiting your appearance. I am
on my way to town, Mr.. Gwynne, so if
you do not mind, l shall give myself
the pleasure Of riding along with you
for a short distance. I shall have to
leave you soon, however, as l am due

heavily laden, 1 see, to travel at top

A beautiful young deer met death
Saturday by leaping. suddenly into
the path Of a speeding automobile
near English Creek. The buck, IN
the fresh bloom of animal youth
and weighing nearly 200 pounds, in

At Willis Home
Commander Chambers, Son
in-Law of Freebooter,
SOjourning Here.
ASSIGNED LEXINGTON

Commander William Chambers,
who will report for duty in the
near Allure at Fall River, Mass,
where he will be one of the off
GERS of the Lexington. one of the
newest of the plane carrying ships
constructed for the United States
Navy, is at the home of his father
and mother-in-law, Freebooter and
Mrs. Robert Willis, 40 E. Verona
avenue. where he is passing few
days.
Commander Chambers comes
here from San Antonio, where he
has been stationed at Brooks
Field, flying Naval planes from
that station. He was sent east for
duty on one of the newest of the
United States plane carrying ships
arriving a few days ago.
The Lexington will not go into
commission until the early part
of 1927. The boat is constructed
to carry planes, and has besides
its crew United States Naval Off
GERS who have been trained es-
pecially to fly.
Until his ship goes into active
service Commander Chambers will
be frequent visitor at the home
where his wife has been visiting
her father and mother for SINE
time. She has many friends in this
city.
Commander Chambers was re.
ticent when questioned yesterday,
declaring the Lexington to be a
new ship, and that he would not
care to discuss her until she had
been commissioned, and he knew
more about the plane carrier.
The Lexington, it is understood,
is of the type of new ships which
carries special equipment for the
shooting of planes from the sides
of the ship into the air, where
they take off without first touch.

time, and enables an aviator to
get away from his carrier much
quicker than otherwise would be
possible. She also has number
of other improvements over the
plane carriers which are now in
service

COrOner'S jury
Probes Deaths
Reaches Conclusion That
English Creek Men Were
Intoxicated.
MURDER THEORY VOID.

George Forman, As, and Charles
Lake, 43, English Creek residents
whom met death early Sunday
morning one week ago when
Forman's shanty at the Creek
burned to the ground, met death
from fire while intoxicated" ac-
cording to a verdict which Cor
oner's jury reached Friday night
as it conducted an inquest in the
Sfullville school house.
The fact that the men mad a con-
siderable sum of money on their
persons, and that buckahot pei
lets had been found in the left
breast of one of the bodies brought
about a foul play theory which
the jury could not sustain.
Frank Harold, chief of county
detectives, and County Physician
Souders emphatically denied that
their Investigations had revealed
any evidence of foul play. The pei
lets found in one of the bodies
were lodged there when car
tridges which had been on a shelf
in the shack had been exploded
by the intense heat. it is believed.
A number of witnesses who had
seen the men in Somers Point
which place they were supposed
to have left in an apparently in
toxicated condition, were ques-
toned by Corner Parsels. The in
quest was made on request of the
parents of Lake, Mr. and Mrs.
William Lake, of English Creek
with whom he lived.
