CREEDE, Colo, April "A genuine
petrified man is the sensation and talk of
the camp. j. J. Dore was out prospecting
seven miles southeast of here and in .
draw" on the east side of the hills of the
Rio Grande river he found perfect speci-
men of petrification. The body had been
buried, but a landslide let the soil away so
one foot protruded. 1t is the body Of q
man who was apparently about IS years
old. He was feet inches in height and
well formed
Was Probably with Fremont.
The body was perfect when found, but
the left arm and big toes were broken of
in getting in out from the soil which
covered it. 1t weighs about 600 pounds
and the stone is a peculiar unclassified
stuff, solid and firm. Every detail-forrn,
wrinkle and grain of skin is perfect. The
man was probably a member Of Fremont,s
party and met q violent death.
Wounded in Several Places.
His right arm showed signs of blows
from a hatchet or tomahawk received in
warding of an attack. A sharp cut slashed
the wrist to the bone, his throat had been
cut, and the head in the forehead appears
to have been struck so that the brains pro-
truded, and some of the examiners claim
to see evidences of scalping. The corpse
had been buried by white men, and the
posture was that of civilized dead.

Crowds of Settlers on Hand Paying Dou-
BILE Prices for Everything.
The largest crowd at present is gathered
along the Rock Island road on the ex-
treme eastern border of the reservation
but as the people learn that only a small
portion of the best lands are available
from there they will scatter out. Most of
the county seats are nearer the north or
south linas of the reservation than they
are tho Stern, but the people who have
come teady do not learn this until they
are landed in the wild crowd at Kinsfisher
or Elreno and are robbed and taken in on
every side. Already prices on supplies

impatient. A telegram was received
saying that the boys would arrive about
3 o'clock, so everybody returned and
commenced waiting again. However
they were at last rewarded, for abont
8 :15 p m. the belated train pulled in. its

THE CABLE CAR COMPANY
IT WILL ORDER THE PAVING OF
FIGUERoA STREET SOON.
Meanwhile the Gauge of the Blue Line
Tracks Will Be Changed-The Con-
tract Already Let for the Paw
ing-The Company's Plans.

The contract for paving between the
street railway tracks, between Pico and
Washington streets, which has been
hanging fire for some time, has been
awarded, and in very short while work
will be commenced in that direction.
The completion OF this needed street i'm
provement has been retarded by the
condition of affairs under which the
company is operating, but the formali-
ties have now been completed, and the
work will be rapidly pushed. Mr..
Crank stated yesterday that it would be
commenced inside OF two weeks. The
company has also been retarded in its
movements by other economic consider
ations. 1t has long been its intention to
operate all it's horsepower lines by cleo
tricity, and the preparation for this
change has had to figure in all its plans.
1t has been determined, SO far as the
"blue line" is concerned, that in paw
ing the track on Figueroa street the
company will make the necessary prep
arations Tor using electric power. The
gauge will be reduced to the prevailing
width for electric cars, and the rails
properly bonded with underground
wires for the new method of locomotion.
This will necessitste changing the
gauge from Arcadia street to First, to
Spring, to Ninth, to Figueroa, to Wash.
ington, and on out to Rosedale ceme.
terry, excepting euch portions as are
now covered by the Consolidated Elec-
trio company's lines.
While these track changes and altera-
tions will be made at once, it is not vet
decided when the cable company will
introduce electricity upon this line. 1t
has been definitely determined to event.
ually introduce the ''broomstickn mo-
tive power, but just when the innova-
ton will take place has not been de-
cided.

| View avenue to Atlantic avenue. and
then east on First street to Pine street,
where they halted. Colonel Spileman
then introduced to the regiment Presi-
dent Mintzer, who delivered the address
Of welcome. The speaker wasted no
time with unnecessary words, but well
coined the visitors in short and appro-
pirate talk. He said:
Fellow citizens, soldiers of the Ninth
regiment: You are heartily welcome to
Long Beach, and we hope that you will
have an enjoyable time, and will do all
in our power to make you happy. l
think it is unnecessary to offer you the
freedom of the city, for, ss American
soldiers, you can take anything you
want.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Mintzer's
speech the boys responded with three
cheers, and then marched directly to
the camp.
Here everything for while was chaos.
The men were hot and tired after their
ride on the cars, and Immediately began
to prepare for supper. Many were put
ting the tents into sleeping shape, while
others were arranging who should bunk
together.
For some time after the arrival of the
men, the camp was crowded with visit
ors, the women decidedly predominant
ing. However, things will be in perfect
order tomorrow, and the boys will be
more in the humor of entertaining the
visitors. n
There is a good joke on several Of the
officers, even this early during the en-
campment. Yesterday Captain Diss
and Lieutenant Drake, accompanied by
Colonel Bryant, went to house called
the Ark to hire some bedding for the
men. The first two officers went up to
the old landlady and told her
what they wanted, while Colonel
Bryant stood within hearing dis
tance. After hearing them, the old lady
said: 'Are you members OF the Saliva
ton army?'' Eyes," Immediately re-
sponded both OF the officers. "Well,"
said the lady, with very sanctimonious
tremor in her voice, II hope that you
will get real good accommodations for
the night"
The Santa Ana company attracted
much attention during the march, with
their knapsacks and blankets, broad felt
hats and leggings.
The mounted officers today were
Colonel Spileman, Lieutenant Colonel
Bryant, Major McKelvy and Commits
sary Rice.
A large crowd is expected Sunday on

Mr. Ress, Statement.

--- Mr. keeb' Statement.
EDITORS HERALD: In your Tuesday q
report of the proceedings OF the city
council, sitting as board of equaliza-
ton, your reporter did me an injustice
ably without intention) in ascribing to
me the assertion, that it was eminently
proper that the assessment on the fran
chise Of the Sunset Telephone company
should have been reduced from $50, 600
to $15,000." made no such statement,
and as matter of fact. the valuation
placed on the franchise by the assessor
was $751; 900; so you will readily see
there was no necessity for me to make
any such statement.
In today's issue you do not state the
facts, when you assert that, shy strict
party vote, the sum eff $4,000 was
Topped off, or just about enough to cover
the expense of putting their wires un-
der ground The only construction
that can be placed ON this language is,
that the Telephone company, by appeal
ing to the board of equalization, has
saved the sum of $23, 900 in taxes. This
is too grave statement to pass uncon-
tradicted. If the rate is again fixed at
$1.00 the Telephone company will, by
the action of this strict party vote, as
you are pleased to call it, save in taxes
exactly one hundred and sixty-seven
dollars and forty cents ($167 .40.)
As to the matter of strict party vote,
permit me to inform you that Council
man Nickel introduced motion to re-
duce the valuation on telephone boxes
from $75 each to $50 each. This would
have been reduction of $2S ,050, but an
amendment OF mine was carried reduc-
ing boxes to $50 each, and I believe the
records will show that Messrs. Nickel
and McGarry both voted for my amend
ment. Trusting in your usual fairness
for publication, remain, respectfully
yours, SAMUEL REEFS.
