the owner of race horse that was
described by George Cross of the
New Mexican after loosing a race,
as black sired by old Missouri and
damned by everybody. Mr.. olenger

turf down there.
An appeal was put on the contest
case against K. w. Fuller's claim
last Saturday, the history of this case
is known to all the people of Lamar,
but the fact that Mr.. Fuller has lived
on his claim three years and has OBJ.
tsined a decision a time or two in
his favor led public opinion to be-
lieve the case was finally settled, and
then the great harmony talk that has
been made led the people to believe
that there was desire for harmony
and nothing in future would occur
to cause discension in any way. Mr..
Fuller is not uneasy about the out
come of his case, and we feel conf

Along the roads, bitches and fields
alfalfa can be seen growing, where
the seed has been dropped or blown
from a 6eld, there are good many
little punches of alfalfa about Lamar
In odd places where it never was
planted, growing nicely and a good
deal of it in bloom. If In the short
time since the FIRST alfalfa was sown
In this vicinity, so much can be seen
growing wild, how near will the
prairies be of becoming covered with
it In FIVE years, and then it is reason
able to suppose in ten years the state
will be an alfalfa field. There is
proof right here at Lamar that alfalfa
i'll obtain enough moisture from
the rains to start it and keep it grow
ing, of course not luxurant enough
to make it harvesting crop, but
much better for grazing than buffalo
grass.

Especial to Denver Republican. Fl
Last night about O'Clock Under
Sheriff and Jailer A. d. Frost met
with a little experience not down on
the bills.
At the time mentioned some of
the prisoners wanted water brought
to them. Mr.. Frost procured the
water and told the prisoners to leave
the corridor and go into their cells.
There being but one lamp in the cor
ridor, it did not afford much light
over the apartment, When he sup
posed all IN their cells he drew the
bolt locking the cell doors, opened
the door into the corridor and passed
in with the bucket of water.
But one of the prisoners, Harry
Raven, an alias, probably, remained
in a dark corner of the corridor, un-
seen by the jailer, and when Mr..
Frost passed to the further end of
the coorldor this prisoner neatly
turned the tables on the jailer by
clipping out of the corridor and turn
ed the keys securely, locking the
taller in. He then passed into the
room where Mr.. Frost's wife was sit
ting, and she, nsticing who it was,
seized a revolver lying on the table,
but before she could use it the pris.
oner seized her and wrenched the re-
yolver from her grasp.
He then went through the several
snartments ia search of other weap-
ons and ysluables. He then COM
nelled Mrs. Frost to lock all the
doors but the outside one, after
which he compelled her to give up
all the keys, when he departed, look
ing the outside door, and after going
a few rods threw away the keys and
