learn that the western outdoors
still holds it's dangers among the
wild things, but that these are
ordinarily treated with unconcern.
She watched the ground and the
landscape with greater caution
during the remainder of the after
noon. Four times they saw dogs
trotting along at a distance, or
standing to stare at them. Ellen
knew they were wild, but did not
know they were coyotes. Once
Sonora, Montoya pointed to a cliff
ledge several hundred yards above
them and Ellen saw what ap-
peared to be a huge cat, a panther.
A small herd of javalinas ran
granting down a slope, but Ellen
never" real ed how fortunate the
people had been, nor knew that
wild hogs, disturbed, can be fero-
cious enemies. Cactus thorns
nipped at Ellen's ankles, and she
was kept busy lodging rocks as
the horses climbed up the noun
tain trail.
When night fell, Sonora Mon
toya called to the Yaquis and
talked briefly with them.
"Is it much farther?" Ellen
asked YEARLY. But her host did
not understand. The older woman
did make it clear, however, that
they must halt for the night.
Now more than ever Ellen be-
came grateful for Sonora Mon
toya's company. The ranch wom-
an knew how to effect makeshift
camp. Despite Ellen's protests,
she made the girl wrap in the sad
die blanket and lie down on soft
dry grass, while she sat on rock
holding her rifle. The men sensi-
bly, bedded down also, some few
yards away. Ellen promised her
self she would snatch nap-if she
could get over her fear Of sleep
ing on the ground and of possible
rattlesnakeS-then stand guard

was an unselfish idea, but it didn't
work.

too late for anyone to sleep again

exclaimed, sitting up.

muscles seemed afire with pain il

were too stiff to move. Senors
Montoya was huddled in her owl
saddle blanket, but she had beer

CHAPTER IL

THE START from the Montoya
ranch home was made about 1
p. m. At the last minute Ellen,
the Mexican mother and the two
released prisoners had taken some
food to eat in their hands, so i'm
patient were they to be riding.
There was meat, and the fiat, fab
by cornmeal bread called tortillas,
and some fruit.
Ellen ate hers not from hunger
but because she realized she would
need its strength. She and Sonora
Montoya rode about so feet behind
their strange escorts and guides
savages who were criminals
against the law of Mexico, but
who had been released without
trial on a bargain with a lovely,
dainty American girl. The Mexi-
can woman had made it clear to
Ellen that she knew how to handle
both kinds of guns, and she in
sisted on riding now with her re-
peating rifle held in her arms.
This act of constant suspicion
and threat really was psychology
cally a benefit to the plan. BY
contrast it made Ellen, whose guns
remained holstered, more friendly
jim the Yaquis' eyes. They hated
the Mexicans because Mexicans
hated them. But the American
girl-she was almost like a god
dess, fairer of skin and to them,
much more kind. !
i At the end Of about two hours
riding, Sonora Montoya signaled
to all that they must rest. She
and Ellen struggled with a few
words Of combined English and
Spanish, but most Of their scanty
communication was effected by
motions and signs. The Yaquis
dismounted also, to wait. To
stretch her legs Ellen walked few
feet toward them and off to one
side among the rocks and gravel
Abruptly, a whirring startled
her.
The extraordinary noise - not
very loud, and foreign to her ex-
perience-caused Ellen's blood al
most to freeze. She stood still
motionless with terror.
"Serpiente" shouted one Of the
men. It was almost a roar, sc
deep was his voice. Sonora Mon.
:toya was shrieking some sort OF
warning also.
The whirring was like dried peas
in q pod. It came from some.

large one, but it was most fright

came back near her horse to 81

comforting, even though she di,
not understand them.
The incident served to unnerv
Ellen Dale for several minutes, bu

HARLAN AMBUSH
KILLING AIRED
Former JaiIer Testifies He
Saw Deputies al Sheriff's
Office.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. KY, May 25.-Govern-
ment questioning in the Harlan labor
conspiracy trial turned today toward
the ambush shooting Of Bennett
Musick, 19-year-old son Of a United
Mine Workers of America organizer.
Clint c. Ball, former Harlan County
taller, testified on direct examination
he had seen "20 or 25" deputy sheriffs
about the Office of then Sheriff Theo-
dore r. Middleton on the night young
Musick was killed by shots fired into
his home.
Ball named among them Ben Un-
thank, described as chief field deputy
for the Harlan County Coal Operators
Association; Wash Irwin, slain last
June; Frank White, Allen Bowlin, Lee
Fleenor, Perry Noe, George Lee and
Louis and Lee Hubbard.
All but Hubbard and Irwin are
among the % former or present law
officers on trial with % mine execu-
tives and 20 corporations indicted on
charge of conspiring to keep miners
from forming unions.
Defense Enters Objections.
Welly K. Hopkins, conducting the
examination for the Government,
asked whether Ball had seen Merle
Middleton and Charlie Elliott, also law
fIicer-defendants, at that time.
Ball replied he was not positive. but
added, as the defense objected, that
"they were nearly always around the
sheriff's Office"
Forney Johnston of Birmingham,
Ala, entered defense objections to
nearly every question asked Ball.
Presiding Judge H. Church Ford
overruled a defense request that the
Government confine itself to testi-
mony offered as proof of conspiracy.
I'VE believe the Government should
not be permitted to 60 into this end
less catalog Of State offenses before a
reasonable and decent effort is made
to prove conspiracy as charged" d"
Johnston said.
$4,000 Fines Possible.
The maximum penalties the Gov
eminent could hope to have levied
against the defendants would be
$4,000 fines and or 10-year prison
terms for individuals and $4,000 fines
for corporations. There are no mini
mum penalties in case any are found
guilty.

The District Commissioners have
delayed action on a variety of pro-
posals for the loan" of space in the
new Police Court Building to agencies

study of space requirements.
A report of fact-finding commit
tee, headed by David Lynn, architect

Bar Association and leaders of the
Board OF Trade suggested placing
some of the District Court activities
in the new Police Court Building. but
