Wonder Who He Is?


from Rlgtt county on Wednesday. He
was rounded up by an Avalancher with
reference to the Utes and the game kill
ing question, and says that the Indians
are about all back on their reservation.
Some few scattering lodges are still out.
but are being ordered back as fast as
runners can reach them.
With regard 10 the slaughter of game.
Mr.. 4. thinks that while the Indians
kill good many deer, there are white
men who are also guilty. He SAYS that
he is satisfied that one man alone makes
his headquarters on the head. of Pice-
ance creek. and Systematically kills
game for the market. The deer are
killed and skinned. and the hams aud
other choice portions sent away in four
horse wagons to Ncrnal. Utah. from
which point they are shipped 10 supply
the local markets at Provo, Ogden and
salt Lake City.
The warden says that this mans bust
ness Is an open secret. but so well are
his plans laid that it is almost impossi-
BILE to obtain the necessary evidence Ia
convict him. Not only is he engaged in
the nefariOus business himself, but he
has other men in his employ. whom he
provides with grub and ammunition
and allows a certain percentage on the
game they turn in. SIR. Tayor looks
forward to finally getting him where he
will he allowed n term at Canon City To
ruminate on his dastardly violations of
the game laws of the state.
In addition to the query ut the head
of the above, we would like to ask the
Avalanche lin which it appeared on the
LIST inst who has been personating our
game warden? Mr.. Taylor hasn't been
at Glenwood for over six weeks, and it's
possible that some Pice-ance creek set
tier is afraid to tell the truth over his
own name.

Jack Card, a teamster who has been
employed for the last three months by
G. L. Stevens, has skipped out. He
has always born an excellent reputation
as a steady, hard working man, but last
Saturday night life of virtue seemed
to pail on him. lie gathered up all the
money in the house and left for parts
unknown. lie told one of the boys
that he was going to Leadville, but not
a word has been heard from HIM since.
lie left wife with baby but little
more than year old in her arms. The
poor woman is naturally very much
broken up at the desertion.
The above appeared in the Aspen
Times few days ago, but whether it
has reference to John w. Gard formerly

we think the reporter drew strongly on

Hints to Writers.

THUS 10 "TltSISs
There are now, we think, 10000
words liz the English language; the
possibilities in the use of synonyms are
remarkable, and we should say that to
the study of synonyms the Young wri-
ter should applg himself diligently. To
the newspaper writers We are looking
with solitude and hope, for the reason
that, outside of the columns of the
press, our literature does not appear TO
be making any progress at all. Our
| literature of press is, on the other hand,
constantly improving, and in the last
ten years that improvement has been
marked.
Still there is chance for improve
ment, and it occurs to us that the beset-
ting sin OF our newspaper writer's at
this time is devotion 10 absurdisnls-
for example, the too common usage of
| that negroism like for las fit
looks like it was going to rain" This
absurdity runs riot i'll prints south OF
the Mason aud Dixon's line, and has
crept across the liue here in the West to
shock US with ID sporadic appearance in
our diurnai publications.
There is no sucn word as 'wended; !"
the past OF "weud' is went" y man
cannot be said to have wendell his way.
He either went his way or lie has gone
his way.
Likewise" is ften enormously used
for "also. :" likewise couples action or
states OF being; also classes together
things OF qualities.
Commence should not be used when
begin can he instead.
Transpire is never a synonym of
happen.
Weary is transitive verb only; it is,
therefore, highly improper TO say zone
wearles of lIfe.n
Do not say in our midst" when you
mean in the midst OF us
DO not use "auyhOw'' when you
mean anyway"
BE exceedingly careful in placing
that small but potent word only"

DO not coniound try with make.

The sun sets" and hen sits
a proposal and proposition are diff

seven or e ght inches high and bearing four
or five leaves, was disclosed to view. After
another interval a Seeding mango appeared
at least thirteen inches high and bearing
seven or eight leaves. Here the perform
ance ended, my correspondent adding that
he did not see the fruit produced, although
in some CT ses, it is said, the jugglers under
take to bring the fruit itself into equally
rapid existence.
SECRET OF THE TRICK.
Curiosity was rife, of course, regarding
the juggler's modus operandi, and my cor
respondents anxious to know how the trick
was performed, offered the juggler good
round SUN of money for the disclosure of
his secret After some hesitation the man
consented to reveal his art, STIMULATING that
his revelation should be conducted in a Sc
Guided spot. A cabin on the ship was Of
fered and accepted as a suitable place, and
the jugglcr and my correspondent retired
| thereto. The basket was prepared as be-
fore, and the mango seed was handed
around. 1t was, as before, large one.
On its being returned to the iuggler he
| pressed one end of the seed with his long
/ finger ma l. when the seed opened. Two
! small leaves, those first seen in the deck
| trick, were withdrawn from the seed, and
/ next in order came forth the stem with
/ four leaves Ultimately the full thirteen
/ inches of he plant were manipulated out
| Of the seed before the eyes of the specta-
tors. The seed was in fact a hollow one,
and the young plant had been dexterously
folded within its compass. 1t is the art of
folding the plant inside the seed which
| constitutes the essence of the trick.
Ny corr espondent added that he has re-
peated the trick since, and simple ex-
pertinent shows how its conditions can he
realized. Nest leaves can be so folded
that when liberated from pressure they
spring back to their original shape. The
folding, however, must be done in a special
and careful manner. The upper surface
of the leaf must be folded on ITSELF and
that surface skillfully treated and watercC
viii scarcely show crease on a superficial
examination.
The crelsing which the under surface
viii show is of course concealed from the
spectator view. If the fruit is produced
in the course of the trick, my correspondent
conjeCtures it also is contained in the mol
low seed. 1t is likely to be very small
mango, which is packed in a dry state, anc
which, under the watering process, swell
out to considerable proportions.-D An
