Ranchmen all appear to be thrifty.
New coiners have taken up the balance
of the agricultural land to be had aud

The towns of Carbondale and Rock
Ford have recently started up at the
mouth Of the river, and business houses
are doing a prosperous business at
these points. .,-
The Carson and Western stage lines
run four and six horse coaches between
Glenwood and Aspen, receiving quite

BoYCo1TERs SENTENCED.
The Court Declares Their Offense
Little Short of BIackmail.

Little Short of Blackmail.
The conv.c'ed boycotters OF Thesis, the
proprietor of concert garden, at New York
were arraigned in court for sentence. Judge
Barrett made some str ng remarks to the men
about the lawlessness of the crime of which
they were convicted. He said that this was
violation Of psacs to a cou airy that wel-
coined foreign born citiz,ns, to country
that offered freedom and privilege of right.
They had violated public rights and opinions
and their ofanse was not short of black mail.
The distribution of circulars before
places of buinees was conspiracy
and punishable as such. Their
conduct, if UNPUBLISHED, would lead to saw
agery. They may have been misled by bad
advice, bus their counsel should have re-
bukel them. They did not use the money
for their own advantage, and this palliated
their offense. We are told that it had be en-
the custom to rob in that manner. He would
not impose the full penalty of the law, as
they were working man. The Ju1ge then
sentenced Paul Witz'ig and Henry Holdorf
to two years and ten months at hard labor,
and Michael Stroh AMI Julius Rosenberg to
one year and six months imprisonment
Darrell Danenhauser, the most violent of any
OF the boycotters, got three years and eight
mopths IN State prison.
