property which Florence Conway. the
suicide, is known to have left here at
the time of her death. The Bickford
letters nave been returned to the sur
veyor general. The big trunk is now

munication from a male friend of the
dead woman, who claims the valise
which was found in the trunk The

Judge M. A. Hance, who returned
last week from the placer grounds
along the Laramie river north of this
city, has finished a test of the sand
which he brought from the grounds to
the city with him. He was below Nc
Gilps ranch, and he put 100 yards of
the dirt through the sluices, making a
cleanup and panning out the gold. He
| finds now that the dirt averages 35
cents to the cubic yard. The final test
was made in the city from the sand
| brought in.-Boomerang.
A dispatch from Washington says:
Sharp Nose, an Arapahoe Indian chief
| Of Wyoming. has been deemed by the
| House pension committee worthy of a
pension of $12 a month for services to
| the government as a scout in leading
an attack on village of hostile Chey-
ennees on the Big Horn mountains in
November, 1876, and on other occa-
sions.
Wright Gauthier, the young man
who desired to take Miss Lane of this
city to Denver, and who was stopped
| by the girls papa, was ordered out of
the city limits by the local police.
They kept him in Jail as long as posi-
| BILE and then took him to the city linn
its and told him they had no use for
him. He told the officers of the law
| that he would go and stay away. On
his arrival in Denver he proclaimed his
honorable intentions toward the girl,
and the Rocky Mountain News says
that it was because Miss Lane had
many admirers here that she was
guarded SO acknowledgements Sun.

interested in the Larimer county
canal are making an inspection of the
| company's new mountain ditch and
Chambers lake with view to report
ing what further work is needed to be
| done this fall. So far the canal has
proved a big success, some ninety feet
of water now being drawn from the
Laramie river to the Cache in Poudre
via. Chambers lake. The Colorado par
| ties think that with proper safeguards
there is no reason why the flow of water
should not be continued throughout the
winter, as the fall is considered by
some to be sufficient to keep the canal
open. Those who have visited the
works pronounce the mountain cut a
wonderful piece of engineering skill.
This is the ditch about which a
controversy arose two years ago
when the work of construction was be-
gun. A suit was promised by Wyo-
ming people and ranchmen along the
Laramie river, who claimed a priority
of right. Owing to the complex char
acter of interstate water rights nothing
has yet been done, although a suit is
liable to arise at any time in the fu-
lture when there is a shortage of water
in yoming-Laramie Boomerang.
The news of very sad accident at
Rico reached this city last evening.
Helen Yokum, the thirteen-year-old
daughter of DR.. G.. D. Yokum, with a
party, was camping near Dolores. Yes
: terday morning the party broke camp
and started for home. When crossing a
piece of meadow land one of the party
was shooting grouse, when one of the
shot struck a rock and -glancing, pen
, etrated the brain of the young girl who
: was in a wagon. She fell out of the
! wagon unconscious and died inside OF
two hours-just before the broken
hearted father reached her side.
The many friends of the family will
sympathize deeply with the sorrowing
parents at the untimely and heartrend-
ling manner in which their daughter
was carried off-Durango Herald.
Amy July S0.-The Republican coun-
ty convention to place a county ticket
in nomination and name delegates tc
the state convention at Casper was
l held in the courthouse yesterday
5 Great interest was manifested-greate
| than at any time since we have ha6
statehood. This interest resulted from
| the scramble for places on the ticket
as some of the Republicans had worked
themselves up to the belief that they
: will carry the county this fall, ant
were consequently anxious to get places
on the ticket.
1t is but fair to all to say that this
feeling of jubilation is not shared
since the nominations have beer
} made. The defeated aspirants are
nursing their Sores and it is conceded
that many of these will not yieIt
, readily to trea tment and may give
l trouble even as late as November 9Th
The first nomination was knock
out for the stalwarts. Tom Painter

Evanston, was defeated by T. J. Cor
