A COLORADO FISH STORY.

A COLORADO FISH STORY.
Editor Sitter Your fish stories
recalls some experiences that l had
one day, recently. l went out and
caught five before breakfast, one of
which weighed IL pounds, at noon
| brought in three, one of which tip
ped the scales at 2 lbs, 8 OF. and at
night brought in four more, making
total of a dozen, none of which
weighed less than pound, and this
without bait, hook or line or anything
but my hands and a shovel, and in a
field of grain at that.
But for fear your readers may think
this is fish story, and my reputation
for truth and veracity suffer accord
ingly, l will explain: These fish
come from the irrigating ditch. All
the lakes and reservoirs are leased
and stocked with German carp by
private individuals. These, not be-
ing molested, grow and increase very
fast, and when the water is drawn
off, more or less of these fishes
escape and are distributed with the
water. Consequently, here the fish
come to us to be caught, instead of
having to go as you do away off into
the backwoods or on some mount
ain, to try and find some place where
the fish are not scared half to death
by so many fishermen. G. d. R.
The following, about the marriage
of sister of Mrs. Belle Converse of

formed in highly impressive manner
before select assemblage of the rel
atives and intimate friends of the
happy couple, who offered their hearty
congratulations and wished them DO,
uoydge as they took the night train
for Boston and vicinity, where they
expect to tour for about two weeks
The presents were numerous and cost

Tenth Ward.

AS the hour approached for the meeting
of the Peoples party in in the Tenth ward
last night, the Sixth Ward silver band was
heard discoursing strains of music, and a
large number of torches were carried about
the streets. When the hour of o'clock
arrived about three hundred and fifty PEG
pie were anXiOusly awaiting the call to
order.
William Fuller was elected chairman and
John Buckle secretary.
Mr. SiddOwaY made u rousing speech in
which he showed the benefits which would
be derived from the support ard election of
tn : nominees of the Peoples party.
J. H. Paul followed, and showed wherein
the platform of the Peoples party guaran-
teed to the members of that party that
their interests would be amply provided
for, and cOntrasted in a very lucid and
forcible manner. substantiating his state
ments from actual facts, the methods by
which the Liberal party had deprived the
people of many rights and showed how
they would continue to do so in the future
if they had the power.
The secretary read the constitution and
bylaws as prepared by the Peoples cen
trial committee, and on motion of j. G..
Woods they were unanimously adopted as
the constitution and bylaws Of the Tenth
Ward club.
j. H. Paul was elected president; s. w
Darke, vice president; Ernest Spiers, sec
rotary, and S. f. Baxter, treasurer.
1t was resolved that the first meeting of
the club be held on Friday, October II, aud
each alternate Friday thereafter.
CIV Penrose followed in brief address,
and among other things said: 1--WE are or
ganized simply for the purpose of main
tanning the principles of our party and of
sustaining our officers in the municipality
for the good, efficient and economic govern
ment which has been administered to US in
the past and which we are determined to
contend for in the future"

Twentieth Ward.

The schoOlhouse was well filled. D. C.
Murdoch was elected chairman and David
Z. Lyon secretary.
The chairman announced the object of
the meeting, and was followed by r. w.
Young, who presented for the consideration
of those present the constitution and by
laws thu had been framed by the cen
trail committee.
Some discussion ensued, after which the
proposed constitution and bylaws were
adopted, and the enrolment was signed by
large number.
The election of officers was then pro
ceeded with. d. c. Murdoch was elected
president; Edgar Howe, vice president;
Charles K. Brain, secretary, and D. h
Lyon treasurer.
Hon. +. S. Richards congratulated the
club on it's selection of officers. Efficient
officers are necessary for the important
labor ahead. Care should be exercised to
make the meetings interesting There is
vast amount of detail information that
must be accurately ascertained, and that
will be secured at the cost of great labor.
Most members of the Peoples party be-
appreciate the truth of the maxim
that the Lord helps those who
help themselves. The Peoples party had
never sought to prescribe their p )litical op
pOnents; its members had asked no more
than they were willing to accord to others.
He was proud of the Peoples platform: he
would be ashamed if he were engaged in a
labor to rob other people of their liberties.
Applause was frequent and the meeting
was enthusiastic. Adjourned to meet at
the call of the president
