month ago. Mr.. Il. de la Chsppele,
whose interest in the local Gun Club is its
life and soul, presented the Club with gu
perb gold headed cane, to be shot for by the
Club. Two days were spent with the guns,
and on Monday last it was won by Mr.. d.
A. Maher, who captured it by one point
over Mr.. De Ia Chappeles son. Dan, how
ever, refused to accept the cane unless the
| Club would consent to make him q visit on
Thursday evening to see the delivery of the
cane in proper form. So they agreed to do
| it, and on that evening about 20 gentlemen
were present, after the caucus Of the coun-
cilmen had adjourned. Several guests who
we're there say they never spent more en-
| joyabe evening The supper was luxu-
rious spread. Prof. Stokes and Mrs. Maher
discoursed excellent music, AID the stories

fisherman q log book. Even Geo. Blake who
doesn't know a blank cartridge from Texas

gun that brought tears to his listeners eyes.

They Are Dressy.

WHAT Alshuler's new custom made spring
ovescoats, They are stylish. Why? Be
cause they are made Of elegant fabrics, with
best workmanship and latest patterns. Don't
make mistake this season in buying an
overcoat. A neat fitting and stylish coat
will do you twice the service that an i'll fit
ing garment can he made to accomplish at
the same cost. The reason is that you like
the one, take care Of it, and know you look
well in ii. The other becomes distasteful,
is used roughly and is thrCw n aside as an
old rag before it is half worn. Alshuler
has aud handles only the ones that fl, for il
they don't fit he makes them fit. They are
in black, blue. grey, trown-any color, and
the Innings grade upward from serge to
satin lined. They are all reasonable in
prices-the best for the least money.

1t was about three years ago, when the
hidden flame of love, lying dormant in the
breast of John Horning, was famed into
being, and fed by the glances from the eyes
of pretty Rose Thomas, burned brightly and
long. They were lovers, but the hidden
hand of fate willed that their lives should
lie apart, and one night their love making
was broken, alleged by Horning to have been
the mechanism Of Henry Thomas Jr., a
brother of the young lady. Henry's barn
was in ashes shortly afterward, and his
suspicious rested upon young young Horn
ing, who, his friends said, had made
threats against him. Horner was arrested
indicted and acquitted, and later filed
warrant setting forth in substance tina
Thomas was bent upon the ruination Of his
character and reputation. The trial, taking
up several days, ended on Saturday after
noon in verdict of $500 verdict for Horn

The Spring Anniversary.

The anniversary-cf IOW prices runs
right along at II. j, Gillen's now, and will
until further notice. It's an anniversary OF
new spring and summer stocks, too; and II
has been success. No political boom OF
the year has had one hundredth part the
life this sale has had and is having. In
dress goods, carpets and boots and shoes,
particularly the business done this season
has eclpsed any the house has ever seen,
even in the best of times,-the good old
times people talk about cant compare with
the business of this season at this house
The reason is apparent.
The stocks in these departments this sea-
son are by far the best in the county-com-
plete in every minute detail. In dress good.
all the new, fashionable and standard fab
RIGS and colors, with black and colored silks
and velvets, with the latest novelties il
trimmings, etc, are in stock. In the carpet
line there is an assortment covering every
grade of carpe.s made, each line complete in
styles and colorings; while the boot and shoe
stock is practically new throughout in
guaranteed goods of every description.
The stocks themselves are enough to make
tesde "hum," but the extra inducement be
ing added of prices simply unapproachable
elsewhere gives the key to the secret of The
enormous trade Of this season thus far-a
trade whose volume is the more remarkable
because it has been thus far, as rule
deemed dull one in general.
Those who have spring purchases to make
cannot afford to neglect visiting this house
aed all are invited to do 30.

Chopped nj, Head OFF.

George Wetherell, of Denver, Col,
induced Charles MeKane, of Pueblo,
to start with him for the mountains
to visit a mining camp. Nothing
more was heard of McKane until his
mutilated remains were found in
Beaver Greek. Hisahead had almost
been severed with an ak, while his
body was shockingly mangled. Weth
erell had murdered his victim while
he slept. He then abstracted $23S
from McKane's pocket, stole his team
and drove to Denver. He could not
satisfactorily account for the team,
and the police arrested him on sus-
picion of being horse-thief, but when
bloody ak was found in his wagon it
appeared certain that he committed
murder. When the news of McKane's s
death was received the suspicion was
verified. Wetherell was sent to the
penitentiary on life sentence eigh-
teen years ago for the murder OF a
sheep herder, but, under the law passed
two years ego, making twenty-five
years the maximum imprisonment,
| WeLherell, with his combinations for
good behavior, secured a release. He
was taken to Canyon CT y and placed
in the penitentiary, as there was talk
Of lynching him.
