COLORADO CLIPPINGS.

The Larimer County Express says
there is a general understanding among
the millers that wheat will be started
at two and a half cents per pound after
harvest. ~
w. n. Bachelor, of Fort Collins,
has, up to date, bought 10000 pounds
of wool, paying therefor $4,000. He
estimates that the number of lambs
saved will equal about 95 to every 100
ewes.
The Fort Collins boys put a wagon
top on the Episcopal church the night
before the Fourth; also carried an out
house into the street and placed u mil
liners sign upon it.
A ma named Auforoff, of Denver,
while engaged In driving ties in Boul-
der creek Saturday, attempted to cross
the stream on a foot log, and, his foot
slipping, fell into the stream and was
drowned.
Hail stones, four inches in diameter,
fell ten or fifteen miles from Las Ami
mas, last week, killing calves and colts.
Fifteen hundred sheep, belonging to
Lorenzo Abeyta, of Las Animas coun-
ty, were hilled by tie hail lear Willow
Springs, two weeks ago. 2
\ week ago an attempt was made to
rob Il ton.jack ore train between Silver
Plume and Georgetown. There were a
dozen Of the agents, and S. j. Pratt,
the wner of the train, had two drivers
with him. Mr.. Pratt was knocked
down a bank 75 feet, but the two driv-
ers made SO much fight that the robbers
ran away.
The Denver Times of Monday last
states that the harvesting of barley and
rye commenced in the vicinity of Den
Yer last week; and the harvesting of
fall wheat near Littleton, was to begin
Monday. The crops are exceptionally
good all around, which is well illus
trated by the statement of a dealer in
agricultural implements in Denver,
that he has sold more reapers this year
than for seven years, having sold nearly
ninety.

"Daa is Under the Hay -

In the triangular Presidential cam
paign of 1913, when Martin Van Buren,
was one of the candidates. his son
prince JOHN" was once challenged as
to his activity on the Free Soil side.
He turned the laugh on the questioner
by telling an anecdote. Coming to the
town where he was speaking John said
he met a young man whose load of hay
had overturned and who was pitching
the hay right and left instead of gather
ing and replacing it on the righted
wagon. When asked why he was thus
engaged, the youth sobbed out, Dads
under the hay" That, said John, is
the reason why 1 am boosting the Free
Soil ticket. ,
The reason which induced the young
er Van Buren, to spouse the Free Soil
cause is precisely the reaso which pre-
vented Charley Fairchild from accepting
Tweed's offer to testify in regard to
the men who received money from the
Tammany Ring. Fairchild's dad is
under the hay" as the attorney for a
corporation which has expended many
thousands in promoting and defeating
legislation at Albany.

The people of the great plains are
compelled to content themselves with
whatever comes along in the shape of
amusements. In the olden times, when
We all lived back in civilization, cir
cuses travelled by wagons exclusively,
and were compelled to give people the
worth of their money. Now, however,
they travel by rail exclusively, and
when you have seen the bulletin boards
and advertisements you have seen the
biggest and best portion Of the show.
Queens circus and menagerie is fully
equal to the best which has yet crossed
the continent, and we are not absolute
ly certain that it is not the best of this
number. Those who saw Mr.. Queens
show here in 1875 pronounce this a
much interior one. OF course there are
people who say they didn't get their
moneys worth, and others who say
they got more than their moneys
worth. AS for ourselves-and mind
you, we paid for our jacksonville
we consider this exhibition worth the
admission price, everything considered,
we must say that the bulletin board
maxim applies to it.

Harvey shasnsa,s Esae.

Further particulars Of the finding Of
the dead body of Harvey shipman mem
toned last Sunday, have been received.
1t seems that John Evans was crossing
the range from Middle Park into North
Park when he came upon Shipman's
cabin, intending to stop there, On
entering the cabin, he beheld Shipman
lying upon the floor, dead. He had re-
moved all the bedding from the bunk,
save the mattrass, and Vas lying ON his
blankets, upon his face and left side,
barefOOted. Mr.. Evans at once went
to WaldrOn's ranch, some twenty miles
distant, and reported it to Green, a for
mer partner of Shipman. Messrs.
Green, Evans and Waldron started on
Saturday for the cabin of the deceased,
arriving there at night, and buried the
body on Sunday morning, July LIST. On
searching the premises, nothing was
discovered to indicate suicide. Some
fifty poundsiof flour were in Il house,
but no meat or wood. 1t Is supposed
Shipman was probably taken sick, AID
was unable to cook for himself. He
and Green had gone to the cabin last
February, Green leaving 500 after,
while Shipman decided. to remain, to
trap and hunt, agreeing to come out on
the 10th of June. Green was already
becoming somewhat anxious concern
ing his non-appearance, and would have
gone to the cabin in a day or two, had
not Evans CHANGED to find him.
The body vas placed in a crib of
poles, and covered with blankets, upon
which the earth was thrown, it being
impossible to get material for a coffin.
From appearances surrounding the
locality, Mr.. Waldron thinks life had
been extinct some four or six weeks,
the body having shrunken considerably.
Old settlers in Albany county will
remember Harvey Shipman as the per-
son who, in a quarrel concerning a
game of cards, struck and killed Il man
at Tie Siding, SOME years ago, and was
sent t Detroit, Michigan, for Il term
of two years, having been convicted by
the first woman jury empanelled in the
Territory. After this he served for a
term in the army, at Fort Laramie.
In earlier years his father was killed on
Independence Mountain by Indians,
and upon n occasion, Harvey was
left all winter, alone, in a cabin in the
mountains, subsisting on martin, ante
lope hides, and the body of Il wolf that
had been poisoned.

The Black Hills Branch.

The Omaha Herald protests and
prays that when the Black Hills branch
shall be built it may not start from
Cheyenne, as it wants the benefits of
direct connection with the mining
country on the north to be conferred on
one of the Nebraska towns. The Her.
aid is late, however. The building of
the Black Hills branch has been trans
ferred to the Colorado Central, and the
Omaha influence is, therefore, not so
potent as it might be were the Union
Pacific the incorporation interested as
builders. Cheyenne suits Denver very
well, as the Black Hills trade from that
point is within easy reach by n CON-
pleted railroad and one underway.
Besides, this trade affords to the farm,
ing valleys of the northern portion of
the state a profitable market for nearly
all they can raise. Hence we glory in
the prosperity Of the Black Hills region.

Wantad An EIanhanf.

George Holt wanted to buy one of
Queens elephants. yesterday. George
thought that he co1ld train the animal
so that it would develop amazing speed,
and outrun the fastest horse in the
country. He was on the verge of hand
ing over $4,000 to MI. Queen for the
animal, when a friend at his side sug
gested that it would be well enough to
inquire as to the amount Of hay that
would have to be piled up for use,
during the presence Of the trunk
nosed racer. George accepted the sug-
gestion at once, and, on being informed
that nothing less than a four hundred
acre meadow would suffice for ''lunch-
ing" he Immediately returned to a
sense of duty demanded of him by his
wife and family. He informed Mr..
Queen that he was subject to spells of
WEAKNESS, and that me of them was
about to attack him; that he would
have to be excused for an hour or two,
and would esum negotiations with
him after circus hours.

The dreadful disease, scarlet fever, is
still raging with alarming mortality in
Chicago. When at its height last Win
ter, the local health authorities took
hold of the matter, and, by strict rules
well carried out, succeeded in checking
scarlet fever as an epidemic, and with
this partial success, the interest in Grad
icating the child-destroying plague
seemed to die out. The result has been
that the disease has again got tho upper
hand, and is doing deadly work among
all classes. Last month over eight
children died of scarlet fever in that
city, and very many little ones are
to-day tossing in the terrible torture
furnaces which this sickness prepares
for the innocents.

A correspondent, writing from Dead
wood July LIST. saws:

WGeSN ~ ~SSA
wood July LIST, says:
I have paid a visit to and explored a
wonderful a W on Whitewood creek,
four miles below Deadwood City. The
entrance Is large, of sufficient extent to
admit a hundred men formed into a
square phaianx, is of semi-circular form,
and fifteen feet high In the centre. L
entered it provided with a torch of
pitch pine, accompanied by a miner as
a guide who had before explored the
hfty feet in we found our torches indis-
pensable, as.the ave had turned at right |
angles from the opening, excluding all
light. The floor, being Of silicious
formation, desceDds rapidly at this
point, but the descent Is not so great as
to render upright walking unsafe or
difficult. Passing down over this floor
some two hundred feet, we came to the
end Of the first and main chamber,
when another opening Is encountered
of easy entrance, which leads by a gen.
tie ascent to a spacious upper chamber.
Entering this, we were fascinated with
the surrounding splendors. Formed
by the percolation of the water from
above, and t1ickly studding the roof,
are gorgeous pendants, of all sizes, from
an inch to several feet In length.
These stalactites are mineral-stained,
their vari-colors rejecting back their
bright hues In the glare Of the
explorers'torch with binding %brilliancy.
Pushing ahead through this wonderful
underground retreat of fair splendors,
the rear of the second chamber Is finally
reached, when another entrance or
connecting passage Is encountered, and
this leads up into a third chamber.
With tremulous, cautious steps We
entered it, probably no white mans
foot ever before having pressed its
alabaster floor. We find the splendors
and novelties have heightened in beauty
and increased in number as we have
advanced. Rejecting over our head,
and from all sides, was a solid mass of
crystals, some of them exquisitely
tinted. There are also here beautiful
coral formations and petrifed MOSES
in endless variety. In times past, and
not long past, either, this ave wa5 a
great retreat for Indians, as well as
wild animals. The former were wont
to go into it for shelter against the in
clemency of the weather, and probably
also as security from pursuing enemies.
In the back part of the first chamber l
/ noticed the marks of old camp fires
half-burnt faggots, ash heaps, bones,
etc. The walls and ceiling were also
smoked-stalned. The immense opening
is large enough to accommodate with
lodging and fe~asting-room several hun
dred Indians, crowded together as
closely as they usually live in their
tepees, and l have no Doubt large bodies
have often dwelt therein. 1t must
have proved to them a happy refuge
when the fierce storms Of winter were
bowling without, for the temperature
of that immense cavern is uniform and
quite comfortable at all seasons. 1t is
the greatest natural curiosity 1 have
yet seen in the Black Hills. / hope at
no distant day to visit it again and
renew my explorations. 1 am anxious
to know what Is to he seen still further
