where he with a gang of men has been
staking the trail to the < hisana.

not to his liking and that he will not
be back for another six months.
More snow has fallen at McCarthy
up to date, than during the whole of

sympathy of the entire community is
with the schoolinarm who has the
task of controlling about twenty
youngsters who have run wild for a
year or more.
