largest in the world They purpose to
grow upon this ranch In the future a hop

pri Q than the common hop raised in this
country. The gentlemen making the

from their owner last Friday morning, in
the vicinity OF the old town, and running
up the railroad track were caught in a
trestle just outside our corporate limits,
where west-bound freight ran into them
and literally tore them to pieces. The
team had harness on, and inquiry devel-
oped the fact that they had been wander
ing around in the sagebrush, their driver
not knowing the road, until finally be-
coming detached from the vehicle, they
struck up the track at lively gait until
the misfortune related befel them.
David Guilland and family have moved
out on the bench, Mrs. OFT having as.
sumed charge Of the Guilland house,
Mr. Guilland is now seen only occasion
ally at his old haunts, and appears to
have lost his best friend, having been in
the hotel business at his old stand ever
since the town was started, not to speak
of his experience in the same building
prior to its removal from the old town
We hope his ranch life will agree with
him, as no doubt it will after he becomes
accustomed to it.
