A party of gentlemen from New
Orleans composed of MesSrs. Peter Pes
cud, William Lawler, and Armand NJ.
Delavallade. They were the guests OF our
enterprising fellOwtOwnsman, Mr.. F.
Rousseau. Their object in visiting our
section was for pleasure, recreation and
a big hunt. The hunt was indeed big
and successful one, for they returned
home, after enjoying themselves hugely,
with over two hundred birds.
One of the parties, Mr.. William Law
Ter will never in all his life forget his
experience in the AttakapaS prairies, for
while under the excitement of an inter
esting hunt lost his companions, who
could not find him in the grassy fields,
and the consequence was that he had to
put all his confidence and courage in his
almost refusing legs; but they proved
| faithful to their master, and after Mr.
Lawler had been shown the steeple of the
catholic church upon which he guided
himself to find the town, walked OveI
eight miles loaded down with birds
which he carried home Notwithstanding
his fatigues.
On arriving here Mr.. Lawler gave gra
phic descriptions of his experience al
snipe hunting to the great amusement
of his companion.
After refreshing their unfortunate
companion they were given hearty re
ceptiOn by Mr.. Rousseau and his family
and Mr.. Felix BieIvenu, after whicl
they departed for New Orleans, bighl!
pleased with the pleasure they enjoyed
and the success of their hunt, but littl,
fatigned, at least Mr. Lawler.

MIA excursionists. He was wan and sallow

though. The glassy.eye loaned an air Of
sincerity to his affected hilarity and he

of Rawlins the poor man passed away

THE NATIONAL ENGAGEMENT,
The Department of Colorado will Send
a Big Delegation East.

From Capt N. j. O'Brien, adjutant
of the department of Colorado G. A. R.,
it is learned that Commander Fisher. and
himself will head a big delegation to the
national encampment at Milwaukee.
Capt. O'Brien says that only a few east
ern men are dissatisfied with the rates
made by railways and that a contract Tor
carrying Colorado and Wyoming veter-
ans was made some time ago. He thinks
the scheme to boycott all the railways in
the United States a ludricous plan and
predicts that 1000 veterans from the
Rocky mountain region will attend the
big camp fire. The difference between
the rate made and a cent a mile is but a
very small sum. But for the fact that
the city of Milwaukee threatens to with
hold its contribution of $50, 900 for the
entertainment of the soldiers if the de-
sired tariff is not established no attention
would be paid to the railway quarrel.

BASE BALL.
A Denver League Club TO PLAY the
CapitoIs Sunday.

At the fair grounds Sunday afternoon
the Capitol ball team of this city, now one
of the strongest mines in this section Of
the West, will cross bats with the excel
lent club representing the Strauss clothing
house in the Denver commercial league.
Contrary to predictions of knowing ones
the departure of Rapp has not percepti.
bly, weakened the home club and it puts
up a steady, scientific game against all
corners. The boys have become more
proficient with the willow and more dar.
ing base runners. while they pull together
right along and have demonstrated ability
to play an up hill game.
The visiting team ranks high il its asso-
citation and includes some of the best anna
teur ball talent in Denver. where, by the
way. half of the male population toys with
the horsehide sphere.
Admission to Sundays game will be
ladies free, gentlemen so cents and chill
dren % cents. The home club is under
heavy expense and the attendance should
be large.
Thursdays game with the Boulder nine
was the only one this season which re-
suited profitably to the home team. That
day the gate money exceeded the ex
penses by the munificent sum of 81 rs.
Louis Kirk is organizing two clubs
which propose to give grand tree exhibi-
lions. at the fair grounds Saturday after
moons. There will be a series of fifteen
games and when the runs made by the
two teams are less than thirty five hat
game will not be recorded. There is sport
ahead.

The Death of u,IIy McNisb.

The Lander Clipper has this account of
the drowning of VIM. McNish in the
big Horn river.
He started to swim his horse across the
river. The horse refused to swim and
Billy pulled him over on his side, he 60
ing under the horse. He drowned very
suddenly. but the gallant rider SCOT made
his appearance and started bravely for the
shore with apparently everything in favor
of safety. When nearing the shore one
of his comrades called to him from the
shore and asked him how he was making
it. He replied ''all right" but the next
minute he was apparently taken with a
camp and sank beneath the angry flood,
calling for help as he VEN down. In
stantly several of the boys rushed to re-
lieve him but all their efforts were in
vain. He came to the surface twice but
could not be rescued. The horse hoated
to the shore about 300 yards below, but
the body of McNish was not recovered.
The dead man is a cousin to Jas. New
man of Cheyenne and is well known
here.

Pacific, stated to a reporter hat he knew
nothing Of my movement in that diree.

its own line of boats, he had reason to be-
lieve that the report was groundless. II
