CHAPTER XII

Horse Dunn watched the dust OF
the sheriff's car settle reluctantly
upon the dry fats until he was sure
Walt Amos was on his way.
Saddle up" he ordered. "Get a
fresh horse, Tulare."
Out at the corrals they roped
square built, hill running ponies.
Horse" Billy said, ''how big fool
is Magoon?"
''Magoon's a queer one, all right.
If it weren't for that I'd say he
must be clear of the killings, or
why amt he in Mexico by now? But
he hasn't got all of his buckles
and that's a break for us. Because
we sure need to catch us wit
ness"
Tulare put in, mis- mouth full OF
bread and meat he had grabbed
from the kitchen. ''Witness, hell! bet
he shotgunned Flagg himself, for the
dough he had on him. He probably
sold Flagg the horse and saddle in
Pahranagat, then rode along with
him, waiting his chance: Then lat
er he downed Cayuse because Cay
use caught up to him. Get it?"
II can't swaller any set-up that
doesn't show the Link Bender crowd
at the bottom Of it," Horse Dunn
said Aatly.
He jerked tight his latigo. ma
goon is most likely headed out of the
country. But here's what we do:
Tulare, you got the fastest horse.
You circle to the head of the Tamale
ViEe, by way of the upper bench,
and try to beat Magoon to the Pass"
''Rilly, you strike northwest into the
Eoint country. There's a bare
chance that Magoon will skirt along
tie foothills, picking a pass north of
where we're figuring on. Get your
self good high lookout, and camp
there until tomorrow.
This is as good try as any,"
4uare approved.
'"Then let 'er buck! And if either
Of you meet up with Marian, you
send her home a-packing. Billy,
leave word with Tia Cara where
we've gone" He put his horse out
Of the layout at a sharp jog, Tulare
beside him.
Wheeler held back long enough to
urge his horse to drink, and get
himself canteen; then he also
struck out, northward. along the
outer edge of the brush. Two hours
before dusk he took his post on
high rocky point far to northward
of the "a. He hid his horse, sprawled
with his back against a hot rock,
and swept the rolling country.
Quickly his eye picked out the trails
a rider would follow in moving from
the Tamale Vine toward the north
west passes. Far out on the dusty
flats he could make out dots that
were cattle; but in all that vast
visible range he could find no
man, and nothing moved
on the trails he fruitlessly watched.
Dusk came on, cool and clear and
still. and after a long time
the twilight faded, slowly. giving
way to the faint light of appearing
stars, and Wheeler had sighted no
one. An hour before dawn he was
watching again, awaiting the first
light. But morning showed only the
same vast empty range; and three
hours after sun-up he knew he must
give it up.
He saddled his pony and dropped
down from his lookout. One by one
he sought out and examined the
trails he had picked as the ones Ma
COON might use. This took time;
trails easily visible from his high
lookout were many slow miles apart
for a-rider on the ground. Still he
found no sign; and he at last turned
toward the "a, disguised.
It was deep into the after
loon by the time his thirst-fretted |
oony brought him in. disguised, to

RELIEF BOOST is URGED

lie Welfare recommended a de.
ficiency appropriation of $3.50, 900
to give relief to employables who
have been barred for more than
a year from relief rolls, and ex.
tend additional relief to unemploy-
ables.
Went to Bureau
The Commissioners delayed four
months before giving hearing on
the request. The city heads then
went to the Budget Bureau and,
without making a formal request
for the appropriation, were told
by bureau officials the request
would be turned down due to lack
Of funds. -
Members of the council indi'
Gated today they will insist on
the Commissioners or the Budget
Bureau either advocating or re.
jecting the new request in formal
manner.
At the hearing given the Work
ers Alliance by the Commissioners,
representatives of the organization
urged a four-point program: Jobs
or relief for all unemployed; a
higher scale rating for the District
in WPA region rating; continual
ton and expansion of the WPA,
and a relief budget to meet these
demands.

night, Miss Gunther screamed,
That's him" and tainted.
Howard was rushed to the Bal
timore jail by order of Governor
Harry w. Nice to thwart any pos
sible attempts at violence.
Mrs. Gunther drove her daugh-
ter and husband, Herman Gun
ther, head Of the carpenter shop
at the Curtis Bay Coast Guard
Station, to work about 7 o'clock
yesterday morning. 1t was then
that the colored man was seen on
the road near the Gunther home.
About three hours later William
Gunther, a son, found the body
of his mother in a thicket about
half mile from the family home,
beaten to death and with evidence
she had put up a struggle for her
life. Her empty pocketbook was
found a few feet from the body.
Learning that Howard had been
seen in the neighborhood, police
took him into custody, and al
though he had been out of work
recently, they found SIT in his
pockets. Mrs. Gunther was be-
lieved to have had about $40 with
her when she left home.
At Howard'S home police found
a coat and other articles of cloth
ing with dark stains hidden in q
basket under some rubbish.

Increase in Production,
Price Of Durable Goods
Causes Concern
international News serHice

President Roosevelt frankly
warned today that the current
rapid rise in production Of durable
goods as compared with consumer
goods constituted a danger sign
in the national economic field
which must be met.
He proposed that Government
expenditures for durable goods be
discouraged for the time being,
while expenditures for consumer
goods are encouraged.
The Executive pointed out that
almost every time in history the
durable goods curve had passed
up ;.bove consumer goods, within
IL or 18 months the country had
run into a definite falling off in
production and prices, if not into
a depression.
President Concerned
Current high prices in the dur.
able goods field concern the Presi-
dent, he said, and he does not be-
lieve the extent of those increases
is justified by boosts in pay rolls.
The President cited the So in
crease in steel. According to the
Central Statistical Board, he said,
this is jump of two to three times
more than justified by recent wage
increases.
Copper, Mr.. Roosevelt continued,
Is now selling at II cents, although
even such big mines as Anaconda
can produce that metal at a profit
of 8 or 9 cents.
The President told his press con-
ference he had outlined this
philosophy to a group of Congress
men yesterday, who called to urge
extension of PWA.
He pointed out to this group that
the Government already has pur-
chased about $3.50, 900, 900 worth Of
steel and is buying large portion
Of the total cement output.
Time to Slow Down
The time has come to slow
down on construction Of bridges
and other structures requiring ma
terial on which prices are soaring,
he declared.
Instead, such work as channel
dredging and building Of earth
dams will aid in spreading income
at the bottom where it is needed.

Short Strike Seen
A number Of committeeman ex-
pressed the belief that the suspen-
sion would continue at least until
Monday. Operators, with an esti-
mated 30 days supply Of the coal
on hand, were not alarmed.
Charles P. O'Neill, operator
spokesman and a negotiator of
the proposed agreement, was con-
fident that the impasse was not
serious, declaring:

II. G. L. Rise Studied
It also was reported the sub
committee had made q gentle
mems agreement to authorize
calling of a joint conference, to
revise the proposed contract, in
the event of an unexpected rise in
living costs.
After two sessions of the joint
negotiating committee of 16, op-
orators were granted another re-
cess until 1870 p. m. today. A
meeting of the full joint confer
ence of 300 scale and policy COM
mitteemen is scheduled for 2:3O
p. m. This conference has been
assembled three times in the last
two days and dismissed without
coming to order.
Though taking no part in nego-
tiations, Assistant Secretary Of La
Dor Edward F. McGrady has been
ready to offer his services as medi.
ator when needed.

and canont find jobs.
In her letter to the CommiS.
sioners, Mrs. Roberts stated:
"Having learned that no re-
quest has yet been made to
the emplOyableS, we again urge
that the Commissioners ask for
$1,00O,O0O additional for this
purpose for 1888 and for a de-
ficiency appropriation for the
balance of this year at the
rate Of 100000 q month.
when we approached the
Budget Bureau, they put the
blame Squarely back ON the
Commissioners of the District
Of Columbia by saying no re.
quest had come to them from
the Commissioners and there
fore it would not be possible
for them to recommend this.
We urged that this situation
be corrected"

ouently and sometimes forgot all
about paying me back; and I
finally decided to speak to her.
1T was a distasteful task for me,
to begin with, and Miss Shannon
got very angry because I brought
the subject up. I got angry, too,
at her attitude, because after all I
was in the right. She told me she
never wanted to speak to me
again"
And that was ALP"
THAT was all. It was the last
conversation had with her."
Nov, Miss Fowler, will you tell
the jury why you hid the mlSer1-
corde in your room after being
unable to return it2"
Here Janice blushed. II don't
take any pride in repeating it,"
she said softly. When I brought
it to my room I laid it on my dress
ing table, and then the thought oc-
Cured to me that, since Miss Shan
non owed me money which she re.
fused to acknowledge, might hold
this dagger, which I knew she
treasured, as ransom, so to speak.
It was my intention to tell her
she could have it when she paid
me-"
And that is why you secreted
| it in a bureau draWer?"
THAT is the only reason"
1.-THE following morning you re-
ported the theft of some valuables
to Mr.. LeWicki. You didn't notice
the theft before retiring?"
mo, thought it must have been
committed before my return, be-
cause double.locked the door
when I retired, and no one could
have entered after that"
will you describe the jewelry
that was Stolen?"
"A pearl necklace-imitation
pearls-and a dinner ring. The
ring was made of hammered white
gold and set with large turquoise.
It was a gift from my father, who
bought it from the Navajo Indians
on trip to the Southwest. It was
quite unusual looking and quite
large"
You'd be able to identify 1t
easily?"
I'm sure of it,"
very good, Miss Fowler. And
now. -"
Here Evans turned away and
moved briSkly to the defense table,
where MeSSick handed him some
thing. Returning, he held 1t up
before Janice Fowler.
rs this the ring?" he asked.
There was sudden hush. Judge
Sawyer, startled, adjusted his
spectacles and leaned forward. -.
Slowly, wonderingly, Janice let
Stanley Evans put the ring in her
hand. She stared at it as though
she could not believe her eyes and
low cry escaped her, half a sob,
half a moan. Then she burst into
tears.
And presently Janice lifted her
head and dabbed at her eyes. Il
am sorry" she said IN a husky
voice, but I was so surprised. Be-
cause this is the ring that was
stolen from me-"
Evans had the ring marked and
admitted as evidence.
NOW" he said, can you de-
scribe the negligee or kimono or
whatever it waS?"
We were prepared for anything
by this time. so we were not sur
prised to see Evans return to the
defense table and this time pro.
duce a light blue silk robe.
Yes, this is it. Here is where
my initials were ripped out; you
see it is not faded there as 1t is
elsewhere"
