MALCONTENTS.

NEWARK, N. j., June IA QN.S0
A camp in Alaska for native-born
residents who believe in commu-
nlsm and fascism, and deportation
for those believers who came to
the United States from other
lands was frigidly suggested by
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City today from the witness stand
OF Federal Court here.
Hague is defendant in injunc-
tlon proceedings instituted by the
C1O, the Civil Liberties Union and
others who charge he has autocrati.

provisions of the Constitution in
his city. His examination was be-
gun Friday.
AGAINST ALL MALCONTENTS
Today he was asked by Spauld-
ing Frazer, counsel for the petit
TONERS:
DO you believe persons who
believe in the doctrine of MusSo-
lini, Stain and Hitler should go
back where they came from?"
Hague snapped: Anyone who
lives here and is diSpleaSed with
our form of government, should
not be put out, but driven out!"
How about those born here?"
prodded Frazer.
Il think we should establish a
camp in Alaska and keep them
there if they are opposed to our
Government. There should be a
remedy"
Immediately dressed as always,
Hague was at ease on the stand
and answered questions with little
pause for reflection.
SUGGESTS REFERENDUM
In response to one question, he
snapped:
I'D like to let the people take
a vote on whether they wish to
be 100 per cent American or left
wing. Candidates seeking sup
port on the left would be de-
feated"
Questioning continued as fol-

A.-No. I believe in law. AS

SYNOPSIS

Billy Wheeler, wealthy young cattle.
man, arrives at the "a ranch, summoned
by his friend Horse Dunn, its elderly and
qu1ck-tempered owner, because of a
mysterious murder. Billy is in love with
Dunn's niece Marian, whom he has not
seen for two years. She had rejected his
suit and is still aloof. Dunn's ranch is
surrounded by enemies, including Link
Bender, Pinto Halliday and Sam Cald-
well. whom he has defeated in his efforts
to build a cattle kingdom Dunn directs
his cow hands, Val Douglas, Tulare Cal
lahan and others to search for the killer
horse. He explains to Billy that the
morning before he had come upon blood
stained ground at Short Creek and found
the trail of shod and unshod horse. The
shod horses rider had been killed. The
body had disappeared. Link Bender had
arrived at the scene and read the signs
the way he had. Dunn reveals that be-.
cause of financial crisis the ranch may
be in jeopardy: his enemies may make
trouble, since Sheriff Walt Amos is
friendly with them. He says he has
trailer. to join them. Dunn and Billy
meet Amos, Link Bender, his son "the
Kid" and Cayuse Cayetano, an Indian
Trailer, at Short Creek. Bender has
found the slain mans horse, but the sad
die is missing. Almost supernaturally,
cattle attracted to the scene by the blood.

Dunn is angered when Amos tells him
not to leave the county. Following an
argument. Bender draws his gun, but
Dunn wounds him in the arm. Back at
the ranch Old Man Coffee arrives, with

of the dead mans saddle. Dunn tells
Billy that Marian is incensed at him for
trying to settle disputes by bloodshed. He
reveals that the ranch is really hers, also
that he recently sold his own ranch in

without greeting to anyone. He shot
a contemptuous glance about the
walls, which were decorated with q
parcel post map, a calendar adver-
Using tick dip, and stains from leaks
in the roof; then planted himself
facing the door with his back
against the wall-an instructive pro-
vision. Shafer jumped up and hus-
tied around the table to place a
chair for Marian at the end opposite
himself, and when this was done
the remainder of the room filled
rapidly with sombreroed men.
Link Bender was there, looking
hard-bitten and taciturn, and so was
Rufe Deane, a green-eyed man with
heavy sorrel eyebrows and a storm
carved face; the lanky Pinto Halli-
day took up an uncomfortable posi-
ton in the corner by the door. And
there were other cattlemen, and
some of the cowboys and line riders
from the outfits of these men, cram
ming what little space was left.
Horse Dunn growled into Wheel
er's ear, "Wish Bob Flagg could see
this. Anything like this always tick
led him."
II take it this is the case against
William Wheeler" said Shafer I'M
necessarily. "Who's prosecuting this
case?"
The sheriff said, II am, Judge.
The district attorneys gone upstate
to sit in on the Democratic COM
mittee, like you know"
II see here" said Shafer, fussing
with papers, "you got him charged
with resisting an officer; bearing
arms against authority; assault; as
sault with intent to kill"
what about assault on horse
back?" said Billy Wheeler.
"Never heard Of it," said Shafer.

Outside, Horse Dunn turned to
Billy Wheeler. "Guess you better
get Marian. This here's the part
I want her to see."
Marian was waiting in the side
street to which Horse Dunn had sent
her with his car; and to the grim

"Sure, hon." The wagon boss shot

CHAPTER v-Continued

"Why" the sheriff demanded,
haven't you turned that saddle in
to the authorities-to me?"
"Oh," said Horse Dunn with false
innocence, ibid you want that sad
dle?"
The sheriff hesitated, unexpected
ly at fading of the trail. For a
moment he had undoubtedly be-
lieved he had trapped Horse; but
this hope was now trampled out
by doubts.
Zone more question:" said the
sheriff. II want to know where
all your riders were, last Monday
the day Of the killing"
wal Douglas and Gil Baker were
on Yellow Medicine Flats; Steve
Hurley and Tulare Callahan were
riding Slinkard's Hole. That's all
the riders I've got right now"
Zone thing more" said the sher-
if. II questioned Hurley and Cal
lahan when they were in town; but
still got to talk to Baker and Doug
las. Stay here a minute"
At the door he turned and met
Horse Dunn's eye squarely. II don't
mind telling you this" he said.
"This case is nearly washed up. I
figure to pick up the killer within 60
hours" He went out, jerking the
door shut behind him.
Old man Coffee's eyes showed an
inward smile. "That last seemed
kind Of forced in," he said.
Gil Baker now lounged in, taking
his time. The sheriff was impatient
at his heels.
Baker, where were you Mon
day." he demanded.
Gil Baker, young and hawk-faced,
glanced at Horse Dunn and rolled
his quid of tobacco over his tongue.
Erode a scope of ground, last Mon
day." he offered.
Mostly where?"
Baker watched the sheriff narrow

"Anybody with your"

Gil Baker studied him, snake
