DENVER, Col, August Is. - The
Grand County tragedy has reached q
climax. It will be remembered that a
few weeks ago Deputy Sheriff Roger
committed suicide in Georgetown be-
cause he believed be had lost the confd-
ence and esteem of his friends.
Ever since the memorable muir
ders of the Fourth of July there
has been eager inquiry as to the where
abouts of William Redman, one of the
murderers, who was wounded and who
was supposed to be hiding. Gen. D. j.
Cook, superintendent of the Rocky
Mountain Detective Association, last
night received the following letter from
one of his detectives who has been in
vestigating the matter:

A Cleveland Joke.
["Gath in New York Tribune.


John Tod, son of the war governor of
Ohio, is considerable of a wag. About
once week he has "stag" card party
at his house in Cleveland, and the same
circle of friends meet together, and prac-
teal Jokes are in order. Among these is
a young merchant who has made q re-
spectacle fortune, and is wisely about
to retire at the age of forty, so as to give
his time to reading, philosophy and
friends. On the card-party night it was
the method of this friend to prepare
himself for the abundant supper that
was always served. He took no d1nner
on that day and but little lunch, and
therefore his good appetite was remarked
and melted these wags to scheme. AS
Cannon came to the party on a partic-
ular evening the host remarked that his
cook had gone away and the steward
had met with an accident, and that there
was unfortunately nothing to eat but
bread and cheese. Brother Cannon, who
had large hollow place in his bread
to the bread and cheese, not observing
that the plate was pushed to him fire.
quently, and as the cards performed
their part game after game, he slowed
away about pound of cheese and the
same weight of crackers, staying his ap-
petite, though somewhat differently from
his preconceptions. Suddenly, when it
was observed that he would have nomore
cheese or crackers, the door of the din
ing room few open and there was dis
closed quail on toast, sweet breads with
peas, pate de foie graS, and the most
delicious things in the market. The
others, who had played off on the crack
ers and cheese, raised lond roar of
laughter as they walked IN and over
whelmed the guest, already full, with
supplications to eat.

fit Takes All Summer,

The friends of W. W. johnson, of
Webster, Mass, hope to welcome him
home next October from an extraordinary
journey. Mr.. Webster went to Califor-
MIA three years ago, but becoming dis
satisfied with his surroundings decided
to return. He owned beautiful young
Jersey COW, which he intended to sell
before his departure, but tn man who was
to buy her tried TO cheat him, and he de-
termined in his evaporation, to drive her
home to Massachusetts,. He started on
June LIST, 1882, with horse and wagon
and the cow, which he shod to protect
her feet. At Ogden he had to stop for
some important papers, but they were
delayed so loBg that he decided to go
into winter quarters there. On the 18th
of last May he started again, and on
August I'd be arrived in Des Moines.
He is In excellent health and spirit, and
the cow is IN perfect condition, but the
horse is a little the worse for wear.

Some add small percentage of rice and

some brewers. A curiosity among the
reports Is from Alaska, through the col
lector in Oregon. It will be news to
most people to learn that there is a
brewery in that country, but the demand
for its product does not seem to be very
great, as there were but thirty barrels
of beer brewed there last year.

plays twice week and everybody comes
out. The city is well governed and
quiet. It is very warm daytimes, but
cool nights. All criminals arrested, ex-
cept those executed, are put to work
cleaning the streets under an armed
guard. The dirt is gathered into small
piles and man with wooden chop
ping tray and piece of board gathers
it and carries it off in tip-cart drawn
by mule. The country about the city
is desolate and barren in the extreme
and very little is raised except vegeta-
bles and fruit. The city was built from
the proceeds of a silver mine near here,
but as the mine has been closed for
years do not see what supports the in
habitants now. Boston capital is open
ing the mine again.
The railroad is expected to be fin
ished to the city of Mexico in little

miles. The Mexican postal system is
poor. The mail is dumped into box
and everybody helps himself. An
opera has been in progress here and
was supposed to be fine, but it was
not equal to variety show in the

A Gamblers Dream

An old sport told Nashville Ameri-
can reporter the following yarn: "Two
young and popular sports were running
a bank up here on Cherry Street.
Luck was against them. Night after
night scored a losing, and the roll grad
ually dwindled away. One Saturday
night the two counted up after paying
rent, boy hire, and other expenses, and
there was just $35 left. It was gloomy
enough for them. AS they separated
for the night, one invited the other down
to Sunday dinner, and the invitation
was accepted. While discussing the
good things at the table the host sud-
denly spoke up as if something came to
his mind, and said: Il had a dream last
night. I dreamed we pulled up stakes,
moved over on the other side of the
street and opened bank. Youtook the
chair to deal. / saw player after player
come in, and not a bet did we lose.' His
partner was disposed to laugh at the sug-
gestion, being not the least superstitious
himself, but fnallyit was agreed to give
the dream trial. A room was engaged
and the tools arranged for business. The
interpretations partner began to deal.
Seven stacks, representing $35, the bank
roll, were separated from the remainder
of the rack. The new house got good
game from the start; but, singular to
say, not bet did they lose for several
hours. The second player who came in
was well-known sport and he dropped
$500. Every night for weeks was marked
on the profit side. At the end of the
year they counted up and found they
had $55, O0O-all from the $50 and the
dream. This is true story. Yonder
goes the interpretations partner now.
If you don't believe it ask him."

He WOULD See Her [ alter.

A young man living in Cumminsville,
o., about to be married to the lady of
his choice, wanted something original
and romantic connected with the cere-
mony. He had heard of people being
married IN the deep recesses of Mammoth
Gave, and up in a balloon, boys; but no
balloon was convenient, and trip to the
cave was too expensive. So he finally
hit upon wedding on horseback.
The idea was not entirely novel, as he
had dim recollection of having read of
such thing before, but it was romantic
anyhow, and quite superior to the hum
drum affairs the newspapers so briefly
noticed. He wanted 81 sensation that
would be the talk of the neighborhood
for some time, and he got it.
Neither he nor his affianced were
adopts in equestrianism, the minister he
engaged mounted horse on that occa-
sion for the first time IN his life, and the
result was a surprise to all parties. All
reached the rendezvous, which was out
on the Reading road, after some little
trouble, but when they drew up for the
ceremony the horses became FESTIVE and
the riders nervous and fearful The
bride and groom couldn't get their steeds
near enough together to take hold of
their hands, so that preliminary was
necessarily omitted.
The minister began.
eff any one knows any reason why
this couple should not be united, let
him"
Here the groom's charger began to
rear and plunge as if charged with vital
information on that point which he was
eager to unload. He was coaxed into
comparative submission, but as he
broke out more violently than before
when the minister again called for obiec-
tions to the bans, the question was not
pressed. The bride, who was engaged
IN struggle with her palfry to keep
him from standing on his head, begged
Historically that the nuptials be consum-
mated as quickly as possible, as she
wanted to go right home. Meanwhile
the minister's horse had backed up
against the fence and was preparing to
sit down there In order to make himself
as comfortable as possible till the show
was over. He changed his mind, how
ever, and waltzed around in the middle
of the road half dozen times so rapidly
that the afrighted parson thought he
was SO4OuuOOO W q 4OSAACAO VI ChfrI1
As soon as he could command his breath
he said to the groom: "Do you take

The groom didn't, but his horse did
he took the bits in his mouth and started
up the road on run. Then the brides
courser made mad dash in the opposite
direction. The parsons nag hesitated a
moment and then followed after the
groom, and when within earshot the
parson, with rare presence of mind and
fearful of losing his fee, shouted at the
top of his voice: "Do you take-this
woman-for your-wedded-wife ?"
What the reply would have been can
not be known, as the young mans horse
swerved from his course at this critical
moment and plunged into the canal
along which they we're passing. The
parson was only stopped by toll-gate.
He wanted to race back and get the
reply of the bride, but as she got toe
much the start of him he concluded to
see her another time.
