Show PIONEER DAYS ROBBERS' v (, ROOST PARADE LOOMS CHAPTER I the spring of 1877 a solitary horseman rode down the direclong, ghastly desert slant In the tion of the ford at Green River. He was a young man in years, but he had the hard face and eagle eye of one matured In experience of that wild He bestrode a superb bay country. n and a horse, dusty and travel-worlittle lame. The rider was no slight burden, Judging from his height and wide shoulders; moreover, the saddle carried a canteen, a rifle and a pack. At length he rode into a trail and soon came in sight of the wide band of green cottonwood, willow and arroand the shining, muddy river. On the far side, up on the level, stood a green patch and a cluster of houses. This was the town of Green River, Utah. The rider needed to reach that town before dark. His food supply had run out two days ago. But unless there was a boat in which he could row across he would most likely not make it His horse was too lame to risk in the eddies of that heavy, swirling, river. He rode on down the trail to enter the zone of green. In the thick dust be noted fresh horse tracks. Under a cottonwood, some distance ahead, the rider espied a saddled horse, head down, cropping the grass. He proceeded more slowly, his sharp eyes vigilant, and was certain that he saw a man on the river bank. Presently he rode out into an opening from which he could see a place where a ferry touched. Moored to the opposite bank was the ferryboat The rider sat his horse, aware that the man he had observed had stepped behind some willows. Such a move Then the might have been casual man moved out into plain sight Howdy," he said, laconically. "Howdy, replied the rider. He became aware of a penetrating scrutiny which no doubt resembled his own. The rider saw a striking figure of a man, gray with dust, booted and spurred, armed to the teeth. His wide sombrero shadowed a sharp bold face. "Aimin to cross? he queried. Yes. I see a ferry boat over there." But on the moment the rider wai Then he watching his questioner. swept a long leg over the pommel and slid to the ground, without swerving In the slightest from a direct front "Lucky for me if I can cross on it My horse Is all in.

Whereupon the stout man threw the packs off his horses and carried them the boat Wall now, what is this fussy upon old geezer about? queried Hays, much Interested. It was soon manifest He tied the halter of his lead pack horse to the tail of his saddle horse. The second pack animal was similarly attached to the first. Then, bridle in hand, he stepped aboard. All right, boy. So ahead. our But, sir, aint you fetchln horses sn, too?" Yes, but Ill swim them over behind the boat Get a move on, now. The ferryboy pushed off with his pole, and dropping that for the big oar, he worked the boat out into the current, which caught It and moved It across quite readily into the slack water on that side. Didnt like that, did you, boy? the rider said, as he led the animal ashore. Hays slapped his mount driving him off the ferry, while he watched the stout man lead his three horses along the gunwale of the boat, until they could touch bottom. Heaving and splashing they waded out, and their owner followed, carrying one pack. "Fetch my other pack, boy," he called. "Johnny, dont do nothin of the kind, observed Hays. I reckon I didnt Intend to, said the boy, resentfully. Puffing bard the stout man carried his second pack ashore. "Youre not very obliging, he said, gruffly, as he felt In his pocket for loose change. The ferryboy came ashore, followed by Hays. Presently the stout man, grumbling, and evidently annoyed at the necessity of producing a fat pocket book, took out a bill The rider, amused and Interested from his stand on tbe bank, saw some- one-doll- I r fountains, too.

The Brigham Peaches went Into o an undisputed lead iu the league by defeating the Logan Elks 9 to 2, Sunday at Pioneer Park. The game was a pitchers battle until the sixth inning when Brigham landed on Phippen, Logan pitcher, for three runs which gave the locals a lead that was never in danger. Brigham scored one run in the first inning. Logan tied the score in the fourth and it was anybodys game until the sixth inning. The in locals continued their the seventh and eighth innings, running up the total to nine. Floyd Gardner pitched another sparkling game. He seems to be just rounding into shape and pitching the brand of ball of which he is capable. Little Don Rasmussen led the local sluggers with two triples. Don and Elmer Facer both handled several hot grounders in the infield without a bobble. A large crowd of loyal fans turned out to the game and gave the local club some real support. With the fans backing the team, some real baseball games during the rest of the season are assured. The box score follows: Utah-Idah- thing that made him start Hays whipped out a gun. Throw up your hands! suddenly yelled Hays. Wha-at- s this? the stout man gulped. Hays reached for the mans wallet. Then he stepped back, but still with gun extended. Get out of here now, he ordered. And apparently he paid no more heed to his frightened victim. Pretty well heeled, for an old bird," observed the robber, squeezing the fat wallet. Youll hear from me, you robber, replied the other, furiously, as he rode away. Hays sheathed his gun. He did not need to turn to face the rider, for, singularly enough, he had not done anything else. Howd thet strike you, stranger?" Pretty neat It amused me," replied the rider. and parents four sisters: Rula, Madge, Merle and Marjorie Sackett, all of Brigham City.
