We followed tbe tracka uutil arriving at a amall Swiss settlement where we obtained milk and "Other food. Fire la First Clue. While at the settlement an -old resi dent came In the house and inquired of ua as to who had built a fire In tbe timber across Mary'a River, evidently thinking some one had been violating tbe forest fire restrictions, and the thought came to- me that Hall was responsible for the fire and I sug gested that we investigate. "After crossing the river I took a shotgun and walked through the high lorn, t n .Via varv Atm et 111. anmntll and located the fire under a tree. Not I wlahlns; to run Hall further Into tb' mountains, and considering the dan ger of being shot if I walked up di rectly facing him. I crept around to hla back, and was up within 80 feet of him when I stepped on a twig, snapped loudly. At tbe sound, I saw a big form rise out of the ferns and readily recognized Hall. Covering htra with my gun, I ordered his hands In the air. He was resting on his knees when tbe posse came up to tie his hands. Hands Trown Up. "The first thing he said was, 'Are you the sheriff?' I told him that I was not the sheriff, but tho man ho had lied to, and he looked at me like a whipped dog, and stuck both hands high In the air. It wss a mighty good thing that' Hall did stick his hands up, too, as It was bis last chance to see daylight If he had refused. "When we found him. Hall bad ap parently been lying asleep, and bad bis gun strapped about hia wrist. We took the prisoner to tbe settlement and gave him something to eat and then walked out of tbe canyon to Blodgett, where we took the automo bile for Salem. "These people who have been roast ing me for sticking to my prison pol icy can have something else to talk about," said Governor West "and one of the principal reasons I had for go ing after Hall was to show tnem tnat I Intend to win."
