In the Regional games next Satur-

1936 teams

Dr. E. E. Litenhous, in the News of March 3 rates the Regional teams as

follows:

1. Creencastle 68.9 2. Crawfordsville 67.2 3. Dana 56 5 I 4. Williamsport 54.5 On this basis, the Cubs should win from Dana 12 to 15 points and the Athenians should rap Williamsport about the same, while in the night cap i our boys should win from 5 to 8

points.

On the local squad. M. King, John- | son. Oliver and Hammond saw action | against Dana and Crawfordsville in i 1936 and with the new additions, they should be even better than before but we must say the Athenians look

a bit "tuff".

He paused, and noticed that Wild fill also was looking in the direction from which sound had come. Slowly they glanced at each other, and again looked toward the trail. Along

north to Join Crook on the Little Missouri.” "Then find him, Cody!” Hickok’s eyes were aglare. "Ask him to make forced marches while I try to head off Latttmer at Deadwood. Either that or the West Is dead and every white man In It!” Calamity Jane was at the height of happiness. It had been quite an achievement, when at last, in the new mining city of Deadwood, she had been able to stake a claim, sell it and then open with the proceeds what she proudly called the Bella Union Saloon. But now the ultimate had come. Across the bar from her, grinning with something of his oh! self, stood Wild Bill Hickok. At last. Calamity came to the subject most on her mind. “Aw, Wild Bill Hickok.” sha begged, "you just know you care a

question to Carnality over his shoulder. "What’s he talking about?” "This here weasel,” answered Calamity, “was braggin’ to me that h ■ sneaked in and warned Uaulmer, that day at Hays City—.’’ McCall staggered, as with an Impact. His whisky-shattered nerves seemed to shake visibly, lie cried out: "She's lyin’, Mr. Hickok. She's lyin'—” "Get out of here!" snapped the gunman aud McCall almost ran from the saloon. Hickok turned back to the bar. ‘'Funny tiling, a year ago, I'd have shut him on sight—” lie heard someone on the street calling: “Hers's the livery barn down here, Mr. Lattimer!"

Ti.e right hand of Hickok had flashed to his hip. There had been an explosion, a burst of smoke. Now Lattimer was staggering backward; suddenly he crumpled and fell.

alry.

"Tint means trouble," Cody i gasped. ‘Tor the Seventh Cavalry," Wild Bill answered. "There’s been a bat- '

tie."

The Indian dismounted at the campfire. A pistol cracked and the bullet tore the rifle from the warrior’s grasp. Then Cody and Wild Hill were on him. Hickok ripped the coat from the Indian's shoulder. "Who killed soldier?" demanded Hickok In Sioux. The answer was the beginning of a strange chant, growing steadily louder, wilder, more exultant. On md on It went, while the faces of the two white men grew steadily more horror stricken. Cody looked unbelievingly toward his partner. “Custer wiped out—at the Little Big Horu—dead—they're all dead—" "Yellow Hand coming up to Join Sitting Bull." added Hickok. "And a white man friend bringing thundersticks—rifles—to Sitting Bull. In the new village In the canyon. That’s Deadwood. The white man is John Lattimer! Where's the nearest regiment?” "General Merritt’s on the march

lie scowled.

• I told you a long time ago our trails might cross. 1 ain't tho only person that’s come to Deadwood. There’S thousands of others." "Guess who’s with ’em?” said Calamity. "Remember that weaselfaced little runt, Jack McCall? He's here. Came in the saloon about a half hour ago.” "I was in Tony’s barber-shop gettin’ slicked up—bath and every-

tliing.”

"All shined up before you started out to find me, hub, Bill? Yeh, Jack McCall’s up hero. Slowin' about how much money lie’s going to make and be a big man like you. That little wart sure lias got you on his mind, now, ain’t he?" Suddenly she lowered her tone. "Speakln’ of the devil—" Jack McCall, a different Jack McCall from the dandified person whom Wild Bill Hickok first had met on the Steamer Lizzie Gill, had returned to the saloon. He was nervous, shaky, as if some terrific mental strain had sent him many times to the whisky bottle. Not noticing Wild Bill he came to the bar. “Now, listen, Calamity,” he said, “when I was talking in here a few minutes ago—” He stopped dead at recognition of Hickok. Suddenly he burst forth with: “l didn’t do nothin’, Mr. Hickok, honest 1 didn’t do noth-

in’—”

Hickok regarded him, shooting a

“Lattimer?” snapped Wild ’ Bill. He started toward the d > >r, U- u suddenly turned back, groping .:s he did so for ills belovrd wuicli. "Here. Clam,” he said bru'-qur. “it s (lie only tiling I’ve got that a worth anything. And I’ve—I’ve t a funny feeling shout sorm ’iiin; - that might happen to me.” Ha blinked and shook his head. ’’Aw. shucks!" he grinned. Th n swinging, he strode out of the saloon. Perched on a chair at the window, Calamity Jane saw him move do\\ 11 tho street. She watched the c.ith' ring of men about a wagon train, th« contents of which she f it sure were more "farming tools " She saw the quick parrying as Bill and Lattimer met, the accusations that tills w.r . a train carried guns and ammunition for the Indian army of Sitting Bull. She watched Wild Bill ur he forc’d Lattimer to remove ths buffalo hides which acted as camoullago for the rest of the load. Then .-uddenlv her throat swelled wlili a ory of warning. Lattimer s hand was cu ning from beneath a robe and it held

a gun.

"Bill—Bill!” cried out Calamity

Jane.

It was needless. The right hand of Wild Bill Hickok had flashed to his hip. There had been an explosion. a burst of smoko. Now l.attimer, was staggering backward; suddenly he crumpled and fell. Calamity Jane rushed out of the taloon, to find Wild Bill with the tivs teamsters herded before him.
