 Just about, Uncle John."
 And you, Henry?"
 I'd like to hear about the young mans departure from his home the night Andrew was killed" Deacon responded.
 q was coming to that" Jerry went on. Dad was wild to bring Dillon to justice. First, he'd have to take me into his confidence though, and he called me in and told me everything.
 Uncle Jerry must have proper burial. The mine was open. 9th CT people would be getting into it. If Furie talked, as he prob ably would, we'd have rush on our hands.
 Meanwhile, the mine was still Uncle Jerrys tomb and intruders must be kept out of it. Some one must go down there. I was the logical one and Dad said I'd bet ter leave in the morning. But morn ing wasn't quick enough for me. l was going that night-at once. Dad finally agreed and I asked him what he was going to do about Dillon.
 Hang him, if it takes every dol lar I've gotp he said grimly Youc better be off, if you are going to- night, son. he went on. I'll follow you in a day or so. Stay there unti come Those were about his last words to me-"
 Jerry paused, that breeding look in his eyes again, and we respect ed his silence.
 Tt was around nine. now" he re- sumed. Driving into town, I stock ed up with water, food, and gaso- line, and set off. It was nearly dawn when I got to Torridity. l drove out to the mine at once.
 Uncle Jerry was there, just as Furie had said. I put in most of the day looking over the new veir and the old workings.
 Tn the afternoon I drove back to the village and went into Lun- dy's Place. I went up to the sec ret room. And there were the dummies, pretty nearly as dad hac left them 30 years ago! And Furit was with 'em-he was talking tt them and pretending to play pokel

Tt was lead!"
 I sat bolt upright in my chair and Deacon all but leaped out of his.
 Dad was stunned. He put Furie out. It meant upsetting the assumptions of a lifetime, but he soon got it straight. Do you see it, Uncle John?"
 See it?" I shouted. "Of course I see it! And so does Deacon. Lun- dy hired Dillon, the ex-Flinkerton man to trap Jerry. Dillon got him and double crossed Lundy by per suading or forcing Jerry to go in with him on something bigger. Jer- ry agreed and he was caught. Lundy naturally set Dillon on guard out side the mine AS soon as the crowd had gone, Dillon spoke to Jerry, told him to push out the key your father had thrust under the door. Jerry, thinking he was to De freed, obeyed. Dillon opened he door and shot him.
 Why? Because he reasoned that when Jerry felt rope around his neck he'd try to save his own life by exposing his accomplice. Dillon saw no danger in shooting Jerry He would report he had heard a shot in the mine. The miners and your father would find the door locked, the key under it, and Jerry dead with his brothers pis- tol at his side, one chamber ex- ploded. Being a stranger, he probably knew nothing of Peterson's gold bullets and he reasoned his alibi was perfect.
 But before Dillon could get hold of Jerry's goldmounted pistol and discharge it to account for the bull let hole in Jerry's body, Jerry, who was mortally wounded, managed to put bullet in him. The impact knocked Dillon down. Jerry was dying, but he penciled those few words we found, slowed them away in the cartridge case, and reload ed the gun I expect he reasoned like this: If he concealed it in an unexploded cartridge Peterson was bound to see that the cartridge had been tempered with. as soon as he broke the gun to replace the empty shell. It never occurred to him that Peterson would leave the SOL dier his weapon Jerry died a minute or so later.
 Dillon now came e to himself Seeing that Jerry was dead, he

with 'em. He often does, it turned out. There were chips on the table. It was a showdown. Sitting Bull had three aces! I thought Furie was going to shoot me when I walked in on him, but I calmed him down and he talked a little. The room was a sort of holy place to him, too.
 "The next day a car drove into the village, but it didn't come up to the mine. And a couple of hours later-Lucy came. We didn't see you, Uncle John."
 There was more to follow, sus- pected, for with the finish of his story Jerry's voice had dropped odd ly and that queer defiant expres- sion had come into Lucy's eyes. Deacon looked at me grimly and

Jerry's vivid description h d brought a realistic picture of the meeting between F'urie and An drew. Our eyes were fixed on the boy as he continued the story.
 "Furie brought specimen from the new vein and he said he fig ured he was entitled to a 50-5C Share of the profits He hac some claim, of courses but when dad realized Furie had violated Uncle Jerry's tomb, he went crazy What else had Furie done or found in the mine? We'll, Furie had found a gold mounted .45 and a 'passel O bones' One of the back rit bones had a bullet stickin' in it.. Dad must have gone mad for the moment. Where was the gun?

ASKS FARMERS AID
Street Department Needs Cooper
alton to Preserve Oiled Roads

There are some new oiled roads
running out of town. They are
smooth, in good condition, and pop
ular with motorists, who want
more of them. They will carry the
heaviest car and truck traffic and
improve under it. The cost is only
one-thirtieth Of the cost Of con-
crete, so oiled roads are econom-
ical-if they are not abused.
Here's where the rub comes.
Oiled roads will not stand up under
the use of sharp-shod teams or
tractors with spuds. A few dozen
trips Of either Of these will ruin
these roads, cutting them all to
pieces. Here's chance for the far
mer to cooperate, says the city
streets department. If they haul
with the sharp-shod teams or spud
tractors, they should try whenever
possible to take another road, and
keep off the oil. The roads are so
situated around Kennewick that
this can be done without going
very far out of the way. It will
show their regard for the county
and city road-builders and their
many neighbors who want to use
the roads in their automobiles.
Such consideration will be greatly
appreciated by all

GEOLIGISTS MAKE
GAS WE'LL REPORT
Sub-strata Conditions Point to
Large Mineral Deposits;
Visitors to Come

Sam Foster is authority for the
statement that two more parties
of interested oil and gas men will
visit the Kennewick fields during
the coming week. He also states
that tentative arrangements have
been made for sub-leasing some of
the acreage south of town to drill
ers who will begin operations this
fall.
Foster has prepared statement
comprised of reports from various
geologists who have examined the
Kennewick fields, which he will
submit. Professor James G. Sto-
vail, of Oregon University, states
in his report of the field that Sin
the area examined closed struc-
ture was found, also rock suitable
for an oil reservoid. The well logs
in and around the area indicate a
large series of sedimentary rocks,
which may well be the source of
material. In this section these fac
tors are sufficiently developed for
me to recommend that test well
he put down on the structure in a
search for oil or gas, or both.
'Twa samples Of gas from the
Kennewick wells tested. by Prof.
Van Alta and DR.. Friedman of the
chemistry department of the Uni
versity indicate a wet gas and the
analysis very closely parallels the
gas analysis of many other oil
fields in the United States"
In Fosters report he calls at
tention to the fact. that not one
petroleum engineer has reported
unfavorably. He points out in his
statement that Major John w. OF
tley, Charles Morris, Mr.. Talcott,
Dorsey Hager and other petroleum
geologists examined this structure
and all reached the same conclu-
sion as to deposits of oil and gas.
