said he, but he reckoned that the In
dams were after gold as much as any,

have all there was, so he could get
away and bury 1t in safe place. This
was speedily done.
In the excitement OF the Pawnee at
tack, no one on either side noticed the
Missourian gliding out Of sight. He
paused long enough to see that the In
dams were besting the travellers, be-
fore long, he surmised rightly. none
would be left alive. So he had better
go on--and keep going.
The scout, as soon as his Indian al
lies had killed everyone In the train,
began to look for the gold. He could
not find 1t; furthermore. he could not
find Goidie among the slain. His anger
rose again. and he gathered the Paw

on. He came to artillery mountain, In
Oklahoma, and here he buried the gold
near strangely twisted tree, and hast

pursuing Pawnees lost the trail. and
Goldie reached home In safety.
Not long afterward, the Missourian
became very Ill. Feeling sure that he
would not live to 60 back for the buried

Hopkins Threat Is
Watched by Scion
Relief Probers

WASHINGTON. May 2. R-Sena-
tors preparing to conduct a sweep
ing investigation into the handling
Of relief watched Thursday to see
If Harry l. Hopkins. the relief adj
ministrator. would make good his
latest threat TO withhold federal
funds from states refusing to make
requested contributions.
Numerous Developments pointed
to the possibility Of an immediate
showdown on FERA'S efforts to force
state officials into line.
Chief among them was the fact
that Hopkins was at work on grants
to be made Thursday or Friday from
the 500. 000 900 fund which he ask
ed President Roosevelt to set aside
Wednesday for May relief needs.
He was aware that the Illinois
House OF Representatives, faced by
the threat that federal funds would
be cut off at midnight Wednesday
night unless the state agreed 70
raise S3,000,000 monthly for relief
had rebuffed a salse tax proposed
to meet the ultimatum. In the Illi-
nois Statehouse il was rumored that
Hopkins stood ready to take over the
states relief administration and as
sumo full responsibility for the care
OF its l.l65, 897 on relief.
Pennsylvania. with 1866 19 de-
pendent on relief payments, likewise
had failed to comply with a federal
demand for larger contributions
Several other states were in the
same category. Missouri moved only
Wednesday to get under the wire
by passing a bill appropriating $780,
600 for relief this month.
