ing been one of the early proprietors Of the
Denver Tribune. Captain Cutler, who adds to
thorough knowledge of the stock business
an extensive knowledge of the State, of which
he is one of the pioneers, will retain his con-
nection with the paper as editor.
Denver seems to be thoroughly
aroused over the alleged waste of artesan wa
ter which is permitted in that city. 1t is said
that some wells flowing from one hundred to
two hundred thousand gallons day permit
the whole amount to waste, thereby lessening
the pressure in other wells, and exhausting
the supply. 1t is probable that the authori-
ties will devise some means to prevent this.

A Cattle Queen.

Miss Maude Reed has been located
for five years on the Little Dolores. says
the Montrose Enquirer. Coming from
Sweden poor girl. Maude launched
out into the far West. and started with
few head of cattle. and by strict at
tention. economy, and Drawing all the
hardships of a frontier life, she is to-
day one of the shrewdest and ablest
cattle owners in Mesa county. Many
is the gallant cowboy that has dofled
his sombrero and bestowed his most
devoted attentions upon fair Maudc.
but up TO the present writing she is vet
heart whole. Miss Maude towns 40
head of good grade cattle and AN cx-
cellent ranch worth snug fortune.
All this she has accumulated by her
own eNertions and good business man
agement Being fine horsewoman
she superintends the roundup. cutting
out and branding of her own cattle
each year. markets her beef and at
tends 10 her bank account with much rs
shrewdness as any accomplished cattle
dealer. Rumor had it that the fair
queen was to bestow her heart and
hand on neighboring stockman this
last week. but it must be only rumor.
as she still refuses to bow to cupid's
yoke. We sincerely wish her well,
with all the success this life affords,

A Receiver for the Rio Grande.

Denver Tribune July 10
Yesterday morning Judge Hallett in
the United States Circuit Court, appointed
Mr.. W. s. jackson, of Colorado Springs re-
ceiver of the Denver & Rio Grande railway.
The order will probably be signed to-day, and
before the day is over Mr.. jackson will have
entered upon his duties. Mr. jackson is a
Colorado man, having resided in this state the
past twenty years From the organization of
Denver x Rio Grande until within the past few
years he was Treasurer OF the company. He
resigned the position to attend to his largely
increasing personalEbusiness. His interests
all lie in the State, and 1t Is safe to say That he
will make good receiver. Personally he is
genial gentleman. and his reputation for hon.
esty and integrity among Colorado people Is
very high. That Mr. Jackson will make a good
receiver no one doubts. The Loyejoy people
say it is a victory for them. The creditors and
bond holders who presented his name say that
he will look after their interests The Colora-
do Coal and Iron Company people are smiling,
and the citizens of the State, the employees of
the road, and all interested in the growth of
the State and its 'hahy" road are well pleased
with Judge Hallett's selection.

No Fun for the Husband.

Boston Beacon.
1t is very generally believed that the
two months of emancipation from the
bonds of matrimony is husbands de-
light. 1t does seem that trip to Con-
ey Island and little dinner at one of
the hotels is charming; but this is one
of the many things which have ihe sole
merit of pleasing only the ear. In
point of fact this negative enjoyment
is well enough for one two, yes. three
times a season: but how about the fifty
seven other nights in July and Augustp
These are the nights at the club-how
pleasant for the first and second weeks
but how dreadful after seven or eight.
How one hates the menu. To-day's is
the echo Of yesterday, and the prophet
ic voice OF tomorrow. Ask II club
man who dimes regularly at the club,
Delmonico's or the Brunswick, at nny
season of the year. what will probably
be on the bill of fare, and doubtless he
can name everything on il. No; the
fact Is, TO the married man the summer
is wrctched bore. This fashion of
closing house for two months Is n
mistake, II the residents must pack of
to boarding house or summer hotel.

Thrown Out OF Court.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


About thirty years ago Gov. Albert
G. Porter came to Indianapolis fresh
from law school. and among his first
cases was n suit against George n.
Ashton, now big farmer and Demo-
cratic politician The trial was had
before a Justice in Pike township. Mr..
Porter was then white-haired boyish
looking young fellow, who felt. rs all
young la myers do, that heavy argu-
ment of cause consisted in being rough
on the man on the other side. As he
waxed warm in his argument, he began
fire on Ashton. The latter bore it for
time, and asked the Court to protect
him. But the Court felt that Mr.. Por-
ter was keeping inside the legal limits,
and allowed him to go on. Finally.
Ashton rose up, seized the docket. and
threw it out of doors, kicked the Squire
into corner of the room, and chased
Porter up stairs in an adjoining house.
and kept him treed there until after
dark. When Ashton was asked the
next day how the trial went he replied
that '.the lawyer against him had prov
ed an alibi, the Squire had taken a
change of venue, and he had appealed
to another court"
