C. B. Little, both friend of General Hughes and a Dakota pioneer, pre- sided, as president of the State His- torical society, and Governor George F. Shafer graced the occasion with his presence. John Burke, chief jus- tice, delivered the address. ‘The bust, a bronze piece of sculp- “ture from the Tiffany studio in New “York, mounted on a block of Italian marble as a pedestal, was unveiled by Ruth Rawlings, a grandniece of Gen- eral Hughes, and daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Rawlings. The presenta- tion was made by George F. Will, “president of the Burleigh County Pio- Tneers association, on behalf of that body and as a gift from Mrs. Alex Hughes, widow of the general, a pio- neer resident of Bismarck but now a) resident of Minneapolis. It was ac- cepted on behalf of the state by L. F. -Crrvford of the State Historical so- setsty. Pe Started Carcer in Civil War > Chief Justice Burke reviewed the career of General Hughes, who was a native of Ontario and came to Wis- in his early days, serving in one of the noted regiments of that _state in the Civil war, then, at the cloc: of that conflict, coming to Da- kota territory. While the territory still was undivided he served as chairman of the capital locating commission ‘and was one of the members instru- “mental in bringing the seat of govern- ment to Bismarck. He then was a “resident of Elk Point, now included in the state of South Dakota. After the removal of the capital here from ‘Yankton he moved to Bismarck. For 30 years thereafter General Hughes was a leader in the territory and state, a part of the time in of- “fice but for the most part engaged in “enterprises developing this section. “From 1872 to 1881 he was U. S. com- “missioner; in 1880, supervisor of the census of the territory; in 1835-7, dep- uty treasurer of the territory; 1877-81, “secretary and trustee of the hospital “for the insane; 1881-3, receiver of the and office at Yankton; 1881-5, ad- jutant general of the territory; 1883-6, attorney general; 1883-7, chairman of the capital commission; 1884-7, presi- dent of the Bismarck board of educa-; tion; 1886-7, city attorney of Bis-| smarck. He was president of the terri torial council 1872-3, and was elected to the state senate from the Bis- 7 Weather Report i o— ‘Temperature at 7 a. m. emory of Pioneer Sol the road.” marck district for the first two terms of statehood. Might Have Become Senator His political convictions were those which caused him to shed his blood in the Civil war, and he attended sev- eral Republican national conventions as a delegate. Chief Justice Burke, in reviewing the career of General Hughes, paid high tribute to his worth as a man and his ability as a lawyer and public official. He said, had he lived, it is likely that he would have been sent to the United States senate by North Dakota. He died November 24, 1907, at the age of 61, when his career was really beginning. Former Judge Burleigh F. Spaulding of Fargo, who with Genesal Hughes was a member of the capital commis- sion and now is the sole survivor of that body, was expected to be here, but he was unable to attend the cere- monies and sent a letter, which was read by L. F. Crawford. Pioneers Here The Hughes family was represented at the unveiling by Mrs. Alexander Hughes, the widow, of Minneapolis; Frank Hughes, a son, of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Hughes; E. A. Hughes, an- other son, of Bismarck; Mrs. G. A. Rawlings, a niece, Bismarck, and her daughter Ruth, who unveiled the bust. Others attending were Dr. and Mrs. R. 8. Towne, Mrs. Fred Conklin, Mrs. N. O. Ramstad, Mrs. G. Olgierson, Miss Aldyth Ward, Pat Byrne, William Byrne, Governor Shafer, C. B. Little, L. F. Crawford, Russell Reid, George F. Will, Chief Justice Burke, and Al White, a pioneer rancher from Dick- inson. After the ceremonies Russell Reid took pictures of the Hughes family and of the Pioneer association groups. e PALACE THEATRE, MANDAN Swelled heads do not always burst | with a loud report and a hiss of hot air.

Thousands of people stood fascinat- ed in the ficinity of the California Aerial Transport Company, as they watched a burning plane flashing like ® meteor through the sky dipping and nose diving in sensational stunt fly- ing. Excited crowds cheered them- selves hoarse at the gripping specta- cles displayed by the dashing flyers. Brilliant white lights from high-pow- ered searchlights swept back and forth across the sky, rockets shot into the heavens and exploded in multi- colored sprays and clusters, and planes whirled in single file and neat line formations while the search- lights threw them into the highlight. Commission Drops Highway Time Sheets Detailed time sheets, showing what employes of the highway department have done with their time, are a thing of the past. The system was installed by J. J. Ermatinger, former secretary, on the ground that it added to the efficiency of the department by making sure that each employe was on the job and working. A resolution passed by the highway commission dispenses with the de- tailed time sheets, but directed that @ record be kept of the absences of all employes, together with the cause. WILL HEAR TELEPHONE COM- PLAINT Hearing on a complaint by the Pretty Rock Telephone company of Elgin, that the power lines of the Northern Power and Light company are interfering with telephone service, will be held by the state railroad —and when one considers that he is board at Elgin, July 18. SYNOPSIS: The body of his brother entombed in the mine, Alex Peterson ends his picturesque career to become Andrew Ogden. His irrigation projects make him immensely wealthy. Anxious to shield, first his wife and later his son, from threatened scandal, he yields to Dillon's blackmail and pays $5,000 a year for 26 years to buy Dillon's silence on the killing of Joe Lundy. Dillon be- comes bold, demands $100,000 and Ogden refuses. By a queer chance he meets Mrs. Lundy and learns that her husband is still living. Furfe, the desert rat, discovers the new gold vein and comes to see Ogden but docs not recognize him as the former Peterson. CHAPTER 43 THE LEAD BULLET Jerry's vivid description had brought a realistic picture of the meeting between Furie and Andrew. Our eyes were fixed on the boy as he continued his long story. “Furie brought a specimen from the new vein and he said he figured he was entitled to a 50-50 share in the profits. He has some claim, of course, but when dad realized Furie had vio- lated Uncle Jerry's: tomb he went crazy. What else had Furie done or found in the mine? Well, Furie had found a gold-mounted .45 and ‘a pas- sel o’bones.’ One of the back rib bones had a ‘bullet stickin’ in it.’ Dad must have gone mad for the moment. Where was the gun? Furie had sold it that morning. Dad seized him by the throat. To whom had he sold it? That suave old stick, Nathan Hyde, it seemed. Dad sprang to the telephone, but Hyde had already sold the .45 to ou. : “Furie was wifimpering and snarl- ing on the floor where dad had dropped him. But he was scared and he must have got it into his head that dad was raving because of the value of the pistol. Anyhow, he pulled out the contents of one of his trousers pockets and planked them down on the desk. ‘That's the price o’ the six gun. Among the trash mixed up with the money was a bit of metal. Furie pounced on it. ‘An’ that’s the bullet that wuz stuck in his rib!’ he shouted. Dad got the shock of his life, then. It had never occurred to him in all; these years that Jerry hadn't com- mitted suicide. Now, if Jerry had killed himself, the bullet would be Id. “It was lead!” I sat bolt upright in my chair and Deacon all but leaped out of his. “Dad was stunned. He put Furie out. It meant upsetting the assump- tions of a lifetime, but he soon got it straight. Do you see it, Uncle John?” = “See it?” I shouted. “Of course I see it! And so docs Deacon. Lundy hired Dillon, the ex-Flinkerton man to trap Jerry. Dillon got him and double-crossed Lundy by persuading Jerry to go in with him on something bigger. Jerry agreed and he was caught. Lundy naturally set Dillon on guard outside the mine. As soon as the crowd had gone, Dillon spoke to Jerry, told him to push out the key your father had thrust under the door. Jerry, thinking he was to be freed, obeyed. Dillon opened the door and shot him. “Why? Because he reasoned that when Jerry felt a rope around his neck he'd try to save his own life by exposing the plot and naming his ac- complice. Dillon saw no danger in shooting Jerry. He would report he had heard a shot in the mine. The miners and your father would find the door locked, the key under it, and Jerry dead with his brother's pistol at his side, one chamber exploded. Be- ing a stranger, he probably knew nothing of Peterson's gold bullets and he reasoned his alibi was perfect. “But before Dillon could get hold of Jerry's gold-mounted pistol and discharge it to account for the bul- let hole in Jerry's body, Jerry, who was mortally wounded, managed to put a bullet in him. The impact knocked Dillon down. Jerry was dy- ing, but he penciled those few words we found, stowed them away in the cartridge case, and reloaded the gun. I expect he reasoned like this: If he concealed it in an unexploded cart- ridge Peterson was bound to sce that cartridge had been tampered with, as soon as be broke the gun to_replace By Williams | S, 3 ee) Beemes’ singe ANO By CHARLES G.

It never occurred to him that Peterson would leave ‘the soldier his weapon.’ Jerry died a min- ute or so later. your father came to, Jerry?” “Just about, Uncle John.” “And you, Henry?” “I'd like to hear about the young man’s departure from his home the night Andrew was killed,” Deacon re- sponded. “I was coming to that,” Jerry went on, “Dad was wild to bring Dillon to justice. First, he'd have to take me into his confidence, though, and he called me in and told me everything. “Uncle Jerry must have proper bur- ial. The mine was open. Other peo- ple would be getting into it. If Furle talked, as he probably would, we'd have a rush on our hands. “Meanwhile, the mine was still Un- cle Jerry's tomb and intruders must be kept out of it. Some one must go down there. I was the logical one and Dad said I'd better leave in the morning. But morning wasn't quick enough for me. I was going that night—at once. Dad finally agreed and I asked him what he was going to do about Dillon. “‘Hang him if it takes every dol- lar I've got!’ he said grimly. You'd better be off, if you are going tonight, son,’ he went on. ‘I'll follow you in a day or two. Stay there until I come.’ ‘Those were about his last words to me.” Jerry paused, that brooding look in his eyes again, and we respected his silence. “It was around nine, now,” he re- sumed. “Driving into town, I stocked up with water, food, and gasoline, and set off. It was nearly dawn when I got to Torridity. I drove out to the mine at once, “Uncle Jerry was there, just as Purie had said. I put in most of the day looking over the new vein and the old workings. “In the afternoon I drove back to the village and went into Lundy's Place. I went up to the ‘secret’ room. And there were the dummies, pretty nearly as cad had left them 30 years ago! And Furie was with ‘em—he was talking to them and pretending to play poker with ‘em. He often does, it turned out. There were chips on the table. It was a showdown. Sitting Bull had three aces! I thought walked in on him, but I calmed him down and he talked a little. The room was a sort of ‘holy place’ to him, too. “The next day a car drove into the village, but it didn’t e up to the mine. And a couple hours later —Lucy came. We didn’t see you, Uncle John.” ‘There was more to follow, “I sus- pected, for with the finish of his story Jerry's voice had dropped oddly and that queer defiant expression had come into Lucy’s eyes. Deacon looked at me ly and afterwards I won- dered if he had guessed. “What then?” I asked gneourag- ingly. Lucy slowly drew out of her breast a slender pink ribbon which hung around her neck. “We were married in San Miguel yesterday afternoon, Uncle John,” she said. (Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co.) “Dillon now came to himself. See- ing that Jerry was dead, he crawled out of the mine, locked the door, thrust the key under it, and took him- self off.
