DEATH OF CHARLES OLDHAM.
yesterday at Fort ashakie Charles
Oldham was accidentally killed. He was
running the post saw mill and was en-
gagged at the time Of the fatal accident in
sharpening a saw ON the emery wheel.
The wheel burst, one large fragment
striking MIR. Oldham in the center Of the
forehead. He never knew what struck
him, being unconscious from the tune he
received the blow at $50 a. M. until his
death at 1870 p. IN.
A general favorite, Charley's death
is deeply deplored throughout this Sec
ton. Energetic, honest. a faithful
worker and no mans enemy, Charles
Oldham's place will indeed be hard to
fill. He leaves a wife and FIVE small
children. AS leading member of the
Masonic lodge here he will be buried with
appropriate ceremonies.

News has Just reached Lander of an
other fatal accident by which Lander is
deprived of one OF her most promising
young business men. and a large circle of
western friends filed with sorrow and an
eastern house plunged in mourning. Yes
terday while endeavoring to swim the full
and rapid current of Wind river. Morti-
mer Spooner was
DROWNED.
Mr.. Sponer was young cattleman. and
was attending the Wind river roundup.
which was yesterday engaged in crossing
the Big Wind river. Placing his bed
ding on the ferry-boat, Mr.. Spooner at.
tempted to swim his riding horse across
The horse became unmanageable midway
of the stream, and threw his rider, striking
him with his hoofs after he was in the
water. Men were on the ferry boat and
On the bank, and they were soon in mo
ton, and every saving effort was made
From the ferry boat and from the hands
of hardy riders who boldly plunged into
the rapid stream, a shower of ropes tell
about the sinking man. Time after time
a rope was within his grasp but he needed
them not, and the turbulent waters of
Wind river closed over his head while
hearing all around him the means of
safety. 1t is supposed that he was
stunned by the blows from the horses
hoofs, and was really unconscious IRON
the time he received the strokes until he
disappeared from sight. At last accounts
his body had not been recovered.
Mr.. Spooner came TO Lander about
three years ago from one of the New Eng
land states. Possessed of some capital.
he entered the large general merchandise
establishment OF Major Baldwin as a
salesman, in order to acquire a useful
knowledge of the business and people OF
the country where he had cast his lot
Last year he purchased a bunch of cattle,
and this spring resigned his position in
Major Baldwin store and went to the
cattle range.
He was just on the threshold Of a use
full and successful manhood, and will be
sadly missed here both in business and
social circles, Major Baldwin closedLlis
store last night, and the expressions Of
regret and coincidence are universal.
FRUIT TREES.
The fruit problem is fast approaching "A
solution. Apple and plum trees are in
full bloom, and many of our old-timers,
as they gaze upon the fair blossoms and
inhale their sweet perfume, are carried
back to the days when they were boys on
the old eastern homestead. Even the
switches look natural and bring the ''old
man wildly before the minds eye.
PLACER CLAIMS.
The placer claims Of the Miners
Delight and Atlantic regions are booming.
Rich dirt is the rule, and those holding
claims are in constant receipt Of flattering
offers for them. The prospect points to
the whole surface of the region being
turned up TO the light of the sun this
summer. Every available spot Of earth
is being located, and a mining boom rest
ing on a most solid basis is close at hand.

Ohio, an interesting discussion took place IN
preparing frutfo the market, and the opinion
was generally expressed that evaporsted fruit
was bound to obtain and hold the highest
place in public favor Ezra Arnold, well
known Illinois fruit grower, presented draw
ings and specifications Of cheap evaporation
made by himself with which he has had more
success than with more expensive dry houses
and e,aporators With it he evaporate
apples in two hours Strawberries in three
hours, peaches in two hours, cher
ries in two hours, corn in two hours,
and all kinds Of fruit proportonately
quick. As he did not desire to go
into the manufacture ofevaporators, he offered
to make over to the association all right and
title to the continuance provided that body
would distribute gratuItously among the farm
ers, fruit raisers and consumers Of the United
States complete illustr ,ted directions for
making and using it. This the association
