The earth all covered with SHOW;
As look on the distant field.
The iowlands, the hills. the river,

The earth so deep in snow.
The little birds have ceased to sing
The cows commenced a mnurnful low
And drawn, and pinchcd by the biting cold
They stand in groups beside the shed.
And by the gate post capped with snow,
Sitting there with meek di5may,

And with patience waits her coming fate,
As though expecting death she waits,
For death to free her from this earth.
The farm bell too has a coat Of white,
As il hangs in the top Of a tree
II makes a hollow dismal sound,
As farmer John pulls back and forth
The rope, that hangs from bell to ground,
And sways with every blowing breeze.
The little birds have ceased to sing,
From twig to twig in vain they fly,

TO save the life Of brides self.
And down the garden path is seen
4 row Of traps by the children set,

A tear steals quickly in mine eye,
For what is life when far from home?
For when the world looks lonely,
The heart can only give assent;
And when the heart is lonely,
The soul will yearn for heart desire;
Though shut within some narrow walls,
The human self, and there to stay
As is the doom Of human kind
1t cannot stay that soul divine,
1t cannot keep the thoughts within;
Oh lonely earth, and lonely heart

Is there no place for the hearts retreat.

That is no index true aud clear,
That heart is n heaven within;
For hidden grief is saddest yet,
A life with such can n'cr be bleSt.

The Wet Mountain Valley train robbers.

last chapter in the history OF this notorious
band of outlaws was a subject Tor record last
week. when Thomas Watson, alias "Pegleg"
Eldridge. and Burt Curtis We're taken TO De-
troit. where they have been sentenced 70 in
prisonment for life.
The chief Of the robbers, old Dick Mccoy.
is serving an eig~hteen-year term IN the Colo
RADIO p~enitentiary for murder. and because OF
his advanced age will undoubtedly spend the
remainder of his life there. Joseph Mccoy.
his son. and first Lieutenant in command OF
the outlaws. is in the Fremont county Jail
awaiting trial for assisting IN the murder for
which his father was convicted. Frank and
John Price. William Parry ana Tom Mccoy
are in Jail in Denver. charged with taking
part in the train robbery for which "Pegleg"
Fldridge and Burt Curtis were sentenced for
life. They were proved guilty by the evil
dence which convicted Kldridge and Curtis,
and the only question in their case Is As to
the term OF years OF their sentence. This
practically wipes out the gang which has
terrorized over one Of the most fertile sec
tions of Colorado for fifteen years.
While the principal business OF this band of
organized outlaws was cattle r~ustling. they
have not stunned murder. and many are the
crimes charged 20 them. In recent years
they have held almost absolute sway in the
Wet Mountain Valley, which lies in Custer
and Fremont counties, and such wholesale
raids were made by them on the herds which
found luxuriant feeding on the grasses OF
the mountain meadows and slopes
that. three years ago. the cattlemen we're
compelled to withdraw their herds from the
valley and disband the Wet Mountain Valley
Cattle Growers Association. which they had
formed years before that time for the mutual
defense against the cattle thieves. j. A. Nc
Candies. ex-State senator. one of the wealth
lest men in Colorado. individually lost S75,-
