BOULDER CRY, NJ. T., June 3, 1885.
The county seat of Jefferson county is
improving wonderfully. New buildings are
being erected; new babies are being manu-
factured. Sixteen have been born within
the past two months and the prospect OF a
new summer crop is favorable. The hotels
are well patronized Milt Cooper still holds
his popularity in the estimation of the
travelling and local public.
The County Commissioners are in session
so lar as they go. We mean by this that
the Chairman of the Board, William Pow
ell, who had his left leg broken in two
places on Monday last, is not present,
hence Messrs. Jeffrys and Parsons, with the
assistance OF Clerk Stevens, are transacting
the business OF the county. They have
passed Judgment upon several bills, located
lot for thenew county Jail, which is to cost
$1,000, to be built OF stone and contain an
inside uOuD1e IRON cage, and transacted
other
BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE
Considering the fact that the Board is
purely Democratic and that the officials OF
the county, with two exceptions, are Demo
Gratis, we look upon the report of the last
Grand Jury, composed almost entirely OF
Republicans, as a personal and malicious
piece OF work. The report is three columns
IN length, is not specific in any respect,
brings accusations and surmises and gives
no details. The report is erroneous and
the matter which they ask the Commits
sioners to pay for after accusing them of
extravaganza, shows the inconsistency of
the entire statements made.
BROKE HIS LEG.
A step-son of w. D. Mcintyre, named
George VeNoy, had his right leg broken on
Monday last while driving in band OF
horses. His saddle animal fell upon him,
and the limb was broken below the knee.
DIR. Hunter of Boulder, was called upon to
set the limb. The boy is doing well.
A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Judge A. j. Elder, the Under Sheriff of the
county, gave a most enjoyable entertain
ment at his elegant residence, Monday even
ing last. 1t was a purely musical sOiree.
The quartette, which included Mrs. Elder,
an accomplished pianist and vocalist, Cor
nelius Griswold one Of the wealthiest ranch
men and heaviest stockgrOwers of the
county, gave some excellent music. Pro-
lessor Miller rendered some bright and diff
cult musical gems with artistic taste. The
Judge and his charming wife also sang some
fine duets, while Thomas F. Murray, a
prominent merchant OF Boulder, made a
big success as a comic caricature singer.
THE HOT SPRINGS,
owned by Cornelius Griswold and A. C..
Quaintance and now under the manage
ment of Daniel Merrill, are looming into
prominence. A continual stream of people
from Helena and from other portions of
the county are filling his Golfers with golden
sheckles. Yesterday sevsnty-five people
were seated at the tables. His plunge bath
is nearly 100 feet long, 80 feet wide and
from 5 to feet deep. The regular bathing
house consists of large building where the
baths are situated across the hall from
elegantly furnished rooms which are occu-
pied by the most chronic cases OF rheumat-
les. The hotel is commodious and elegant
ly furnished. Mr.. j. j. Donovan has the
contract for erecting new Dance hall and
skating rink, II by 60 feet inside, with a
basement for saloon purposes.
The stables have just been completed
and will accommodate from 80 to 100 horses
and have carriage apartments attached.
A grand blow out with races and athletic
sports will take place here on the Fourth
OF July. A new DR.. Ira Layton is also ex-
pected to arrive in few days.
THE ROUND UP.
About forty stockmen have just started
out upon their regular yearly round up.
The cattle are all fat and i'll the best OF
order. The ranchmen of Boulder valley
are nearly all stock owners and the major
portion OF them wealthy.
Boulderites are making extensive pre-
parations for grand celebration on the
Fourth of July, music, brass band, speech
es. parade, ETC., etc. Z.
