4 sad case was that Of John Gear who Or.
rived in this place Saturday night from Col
orado, where he had been working on the
railroad. His home and wife are in Elk
county. He went west about six weeks ago.
Taking something like lung fever, he started
for home. At Newton he was compelled TO
stop, being very sick, destitute, and without
money. The authorities there, in spite Of
the protests Of physician, shipped the poor
man to this city. After stopping over night
at the Valley House, he was taken by John
Stewart to the poor-house and washed, made
comfortable, and put to bed. His feet were
all blistered from walking. He talked OF
home all the time. and got up and dressed
Monday morning. saying he must 80 home to
his wife. But in trying to walk to the front
gate his strength failed him, and Mrs Stew.
art helped him back into the house. He SAT
up all day longing for home, while terrible
fever was consuming his life. In the deep
shadows Of Monday night, the poor, tired
mans spirit took its fight. He had gone Ia
home where, sooner or later. he will meet
and forever be with her for whom his heart
so longed while sick unto death among stran'
gers.

rHs HOOKER MARE.

An interesting suit. known as the Hooker
and Reese case, which has been hanging in
cur courts for a long time, was up again last
week, and, after thorough hearing, went
to jury, who stood six to six until they
wore themselves out. and were discharged.
We did not hear the ease, but remember
some Of the circumstances Hooker owned
sorrel mare which, during a trip into Green
wood county, took sick. He left her with "A
farmer and came on home. A few days after
he received letter from the man with whom
he LEFT her stating that the animal died.
This was two or three years ago, or more.
The mare was a running animal, and well
known hercabouts. Some two years since.
when Reese and Pittenger were buying
horses in Missouri, Pittenger bought among
others a sorrel mare, which he brought Oh to
this place. Hooker, upon seeing the mare,
declared that she belonged to him. Reese
wrote to the parties Of whom he purchased,
who wrote back that Hooker was mistaken,
ard that the mare they sold him had been
raised there, and was known TO many. And
SO the contest has gone on. On the trial the
Greenwood pirties were here, and swore
roint blank that the mare died and was haul
ed of, while several parties in this city swore
just rs positive that the mare now sned by
II. l.. Walker is the Hooker mare. II is u
hard case for both Reese and Hooker, as the
expenses have run up fearfully. The ease Is
no nearer settlement than when first institu-
ted. II the mare didn't die, and the Green
wood parties afterwards sold her, they ought
to 60 the penitentiary. Upon the other hand,
the Missouri parties ought to show up the ir
title 10 the mare, or else make Mr.. r. sc
whole.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND BUSHELS OF pEAc aEs.

Two or three weeks since we suggested
that some way ought TO be devised whereby
our farmers could realize something for the
surplus peach crop Of this county this fall.
Last week We Published a suggestive answer
from Mr.. Chas. Marsh, OF Colorado Springs.
Since that the Board Of Trade have had the
problem under adviscmcnt, and a committee
was appointed. The committee consists of
some of our wide-awake men who estimate
that the surplusage OF peaches, over and
above home consumption will amount 20 over
one hundred thousand bushels in this coan-
ty. As il is 4 crop that must be disposed Of
in from six TO ten weeks, the members OF the
committee have addressed the freight agents
Of the different railroads upon the question.
and the express companies with reference TO
suitable refrigerating or other ears and rates.
They have also written TO several heavy can
ming factory firms. No answers have yet
been received. The peach crop OF this coun-
ty every year grows in importance and mag
nitudc. With our warm sandy soil and ia
yorabc climate and lat .'ude, as also from u
short experience il is very evident that in
four out of every five years heavy peach crops
can be calculated upon. As to the quality,
there's no surprising it.
