The trail was lost again yesterday morning at the railroad track near Telocaset and has 'not been picked up. Edward McCullough, proprietor. -Of the Stockmen's Exchange saloon at Haines, was shot and Instantly killed at a quarter to twelve Tuesday night by an unknown assassin, who -with a companion entered the saloon, as Mc Cullough was eating lunch with a friend. One of the two men went to the back room of the place where several .men were talking, one of whom was using the telephone. He covered the occupants of the room, while his" confederate , ordered Mc Cullough to throw up his hands. When the man at the phone heard the order to "throw up 'your hands'.' he thought some of his companion's had said tt in a Joke and answered "Shoot if you want to," The man in front hearing this remark, which was coupled with a loud oath, prob ably thought that resistance was of fered, and fired, , his bullet -striking McCullough directly between the eyes and penetrating his brain.

A Story ofGraustark BY GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON 1 1 .1 Capyriht, 1909, by Georg. Barr McCntchaon Copyright, 1909, by Dodd, Head H Carapaay At present we are permitted to at tend. iueethiff of the cabiuet. which sits occasionally in solemn collective ness just on, the throne room wlthlq the , tapestried walls of a dark little antechamber known fo the outside world as the "room of wrangles." The question under discussion; relates to tue lonn or O.OOO.OOO gavvos. before mentioned. At the head of th -).. table. perched upon an aug'mentary pile of lawbooks, surmounted bv a lit. tie red cushion, sits the priucg. almost lost iu the huge old waluut tbalr of his forefathers. , . . The prince was a sturdy, curly haired lad, with big' brown eyes and a lam entably noticeable scratch ou bis nose, acquired In less stately but more prof liable pursuits. (It seems that he hnd peeled his nose while sliding to second base In a certain American gume that he was teaching the Juve nile aristocracy bow to play.i .' About the table sat the threrf and the other men high In the admlnls-, tration of affairs, amuuor thm ion. eral Braze of the army. Baron Pulta or tne mines, Koslou of agriculture. The Duke of. Perse was discussing the great loan question. The prluce was watcbtllff his ' count, antnrnlru to,. with more thnn usual Interest ' "Of course It Is not too late to rescind the order promulgated at our last sit ting, mere ure Hve bankers In St, Petersburg who will finance the loan Without delay.' We need not delay the Interminable length of time necessary to secure the attention and co-operation of bankers in -France and Eng land. It is all nonsense to say that Russia hns sinister motives in the mat ter.," We -need the ttionev hpfnro tho winter Opens. Why should we prefei England? Why France?" ! For some unaccountable reason he' struck the table violently with hta flat! uua uirecieu nis glare upon tne aston ished prluce.. The explosive demand caught the ruler by surprise. He gasped and ' bis lips fell apart Then It must have occurred to blm that the question could be answered . by no one .save the person to whom it i was so plainly addressed. He lifted his chin and piped up shrilly and with a fervor that startled even the - intense Terse: "BecauKe Uncle "because twci e Jack said we jack said, ' wb s h o u 1 d, that's should." why." It goes without sayine that the tnno. cent rejoinder opened the wnv tn nn acrid ; discussion of John Tullis. If mat gentleman's ears burned in re sponse fp the sarcastic comments of the Duke of Perse and Baron Pultz, they probably" tingled pleasantly as the rcuu 01 me Btout aeiense put 'up by Halfont, Dahgloss and others.' The duke's lmpussioned Dlea was of no. avail, 1 His confreres saw the wis dom of keeniuir Russia's out . of the country's affairs at least -ror tue present and reiterated their decision to seek the loans in England and France. ' The question, therefore, would not be taken to parliament for reconsideration. The duke sat down, pale in defeat: bis heart was more hit. ter than ever against . the shrewd American who had Induced all these men to see through his eyes. At this juncture the Drlnce. irather- Ing from the manner"of hip ministers that the question was settled to his liking, leaned forward and announced to his uncle, th5 premier: "I'm tired. Uncle Caspar. How much longer is it?" , Count Halfont couchpd. "Ahem! Jnst a few minutes, your highness. Pray be patient er my little man." Prince Bobby flushed. He always knew that . he. was being patronized when any one addressed him as "my little man." -', . 'I have' art" encasement." . ha said. with a stiffening of his back. The Duke of Perse smiled irrimlv. In his most polite manner be arose to ad- oress the now harassed princeling, who shifted uneasily on the pile of lawbooks?" .;, 1 - "May your most" bumble subject pre sume to inquire lntov the nature of 1. i.-i , .... j" uiguueaa engagement 'You may, your grace," said the prince. The duke waited. A sml o crent into 1 . , - tne eyes or tne others. "Well, what is I the engagement?" "I had a date to ride with T'nela - ,. M - . 1 JacW ULond to yjew the troops," , "count naTToirc mterposea gooa nu moredly: "There is nothing more to come before us today, your grace, so I fancy we may as well close the meet ing. To my mind it is rather a silly custom which compels us to keep the prince with us er after the opening of the session. Of course, your high ness, we don't mean to say that you "? n ""erested, In our grave dellber- 1 ",,' : ."f006 Bobby broke in eagerly: "Un cle Jack says I've lust sot to h intor. ested in 'em whether I want to or not. He says it's the only way to catch on to things and become a regular prince. You see, Uncle Caspar, I've got a lot to learn." "Yes, your highness, you have," sol emnly admitted the premier. "But I am sure you will learn." , "Under such an able instructor as Uncle Jack you may soon know more than the wisest man in the realm" added the Duke of Perse. "Thank you, your grace," said the prince so politely that the duke was confounded. "I know Uncle Jack will be glad to hear thut. He's he's afraid people may think he's butting in too much." , "Butting In!" gasped the premier. At this the Duke of Terse came to his feet again, an angry gleam In his eyes. "My lords," he began hastily, "it must certainly have occurred to you before this that our beloved prince's' English, which seems, affor all, to be .his mother tongue, is not wnat it snouid be. Butting in I Tes terday I overheard him advising your son, Pultz. to 'eo chase' himself. Ami when your boy tried to chase himself 'pon my word he did what did our prince say? what aid you say, Prince Robin?" "I I forget," stammered Prince Bob- oy. - , "You said 'Mlcer Or was It er" - "No, your grace; rats. I remember. That's what I said. That's what all of us boys used to say in Washington." "God deliver us! Has It come to this that a prince ot Graustark should grow op with such language on his lips? . That confounded American has every one hypnotized!" exploded the duke. "His influence over this boy is a menace to our country. He is mak ing an oaf of him a slangy, Impudent little" "Your grace!" Interrupted Baron Dangloss sharply. ' "Uncle Jack's all right," declared the prince, vaguely realizing that a de fense should be forthcoming. . . "He Is, eh?" rasped the exasperated duke, mopping his brow. "He sure is," pronounced the prince with a finality that left no room for doubt "He Is a mountebank, a meddler, that's what be is!" exclaimed the over heated duke. But the prince had slid down from bis pile of books and planted blmseli beside him so suddenly that the bitter words died away on the old man's Hps. : 1 '" . ' . "Y011 awful old maul'' he cried, trem bling all over, his eyes blazing. "Don't you say anything against Uncle Jack. I'll I'll banish you yes. sir hanish you like my mother fired Count Mar- lanx out or the country. I won't let you come back here never. And he. fore you go I'll have Uncle jack give you a gooa ucking. 011, be can do it, all rightl I-I hate you!', The duke looked down in amazement into the flushed, writhing face of his little master. For a moment be was stunned by the vigorous outburst. Then the bard lines in his face re laxed, a softer expression came into his eyes, and he smiled kindly on the boy. uut rriuce Bobby was still unni- peased. "I could have you beheaded." he said stubbornly. "Couldn't 1. Uncle Caspar?" The Dnke of Perse suddenly bent forward and placed his bony baud upon the unshrinking shoulder of the prince, his eyes gleaming kindly, his voice strangely free from its usual harshness. "You are a solemlld little man, Frlnct Robin," be said. "I glory in you. 1 shall not forget the lesson in loyalty that yoo have taught me." Bobby's eyes filled with tears. The genuine humility of the hard old man touched bis tempestuous little heart. "It's it's all rlirht du your, craea. I'm sorry I spoke that way too." As the prince strode soberly from the "room of wraneles" every eve waa upon bis sturdy little back, and there was a kindly light In each of them, bar none. , Later on the prince In bis khaki rid Inir suit loped eavr down Mm hmmt j mountain road toward Oanlook beside t. i,i.ir t,.i. .... iuiuv wuiLii cornea j 0 n 11 rmna. rr hri glorlou, defemMS m ft antechamber. tt, .....

This last stroke of bad luck seems to be only one of a series of misfor tunes which have been visited upon Mr. Wolverton in the past year or so, says the Repoiter. A year ago last fall he was in the hospital at Wal lowa for a long time suffering from blood poisoning caused by running a nail into his knee. The accident left him with a stiff kneo and practically renders him unable to do hard work. His family consists of a wife and two little girls, the oldest one four years old.. . As the house was going up in fames Rev. Crockett Btarted around with a subscription paper and about $200 was raised for the benefit of the Wolverton family. CONDEMN ELGIN OPERA HOU8E. Elgin. At an adjourned council meeting the opera house of Robert Bluraenstein was condemned, leaving Elgin without a playhouse. The dance hall of Henry Bader was dis cussed. A committee was appointed to Investigate public buildings.

"Some day soon," said Tullis. "You seo, I'm not sure that she's receiving visitors these days. A witch is a very arbitrary ierson. Even princes have to send up their cards." The witch's hovel was in the moun tain across the most rugged of the canyons and was to be reached only after the most hazardous of rides. The old woman of the bills was an ancient character about whom clung a thou sand spooklsh traditions, but who, In tho opinion of John Tullis, was noth ing more than a wise fortune teller and necromancer who knew every trick lu the trade of hoodwinking the superstitious. As they rode Imek to the castle after an hour, coming down through Castle avenue from the monastery road, they passed a tall, bronzed young man whom Tullis ut once knew to be an American. He was seated on a big bowlder at the roadside enjoying the shade. -At his side was the fussy, well known figure of Cook's inter preter eagerly pointing out certain Im portant personages to blm as tbey passed. Of course the approach of the prince was the excuse for consider able ngltatluu and fervor on the part of the man from Cook's. Ho mounted tho bowlder and took off bis cap to wavo it frantically.

The John Anthony road was order ed opened by the county court at the session this week. This Is the road leading from Smith Mountain down to Rondowa that was fought by the Palmer Lumber com pany It will be the financial salva tion of the settlers on Smith Moun tain and in the new township, 4 n 41. The celebrated Knapp road case that every one thought was settled by the Supreme court decision in fa- or of the road, bobbed up again. C. Elliott, who fought the road to the highest court, appeared with a large backing this week asking the road be vacated. The court ruled that sign- era of both petition and remonstrance must be freeholders resident of the district. This cut many names, off both but left more on the petition for vacating than on the remon strance. The matter was continued. F. S. Bunnell was appointed road supervisor of district No. 20, the new Sled Springs district. ' , After allowing claims all day Fri day the court adjourned until March 13. CUTTING ICE AT ELGIN.

CHAPTER III IIANT PERSONS IN REVIEW, TRUXTON KING witnessed C review of the gnrrlson. Th . . In Itself was rathcr a tame hlbjtlnn for a man who h ' seen the finest troops In all the w A thousand earnest looking !i proud of the opportunity to mnr '1 1 fore the little prince, and that was ail so far as tbe review was concerned. Mr. King saw tbe court in oil Its glory scattered along the shady r Up avenue In carriages, In traps, in mo tors and In the saddle. His brain whirled and his heart leaped under the pressure of a new found Interest In life. If Truxton King had given up in dis gust and fled to Vienna this tnlo would never have come to light. Instead of being the lively narrative of a yonng gentleman's adventures In faraway Graustark, it might have become a tale of tbe smart set tn New York, for, as you know, we are bound by tradition to follow tbe trail laid down by our hero, no matter which way be elects to fare. He confided to bis friend from Cook's that be could nev er have forgiven himself if be bad ltd bered to his resolution to leave 0:1 th following day. "I didn't know you'd cbuu.d ;c-'.i mind, sir," remarked Mr. Ilubbs in surprise. "Of course you didn't kuow it," said Truxton. "How could you? I've Just changed It this instant 1 didn't kuow it myself two minutes ago. No. sir. Qobbs or Is It Dobbs? Thanks. No, sir, I'm going to stop here for a well, a week or two. Where the dlcUeus do these people keep themselves? I haven't seen 'em before." "Oh, they are the nobllity-the swells. They don't bang around tbe streets like tourists and rubbernecks, sir," in plain disgust. "I say, who is that Just passing the lady In the victoria?" King asked abruptly. "That Is the Countess Marlanx." "Whew! I thought she was tbe queen." Ilobbs went into details concerning tbe beautiful countess. "I was Just going to ask if you know anything about a young woman who occasionally tends shop for William Bpantz, tbe armorer," King finally asked. Hoobs looked Interested. "She's quite a beauty, sir, I give yon my word." "I know that Ilobbs. But who la she?" ROAD RONDOWA (Continued on. Pa 1 2.)
