Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, Dec. 7.-"Don't you ma
1t pretty hard work rustling news THESE
days?" said Under Sheriff d. N. ELY |
to the Standard correspondent To-Day
Jrnon being answered in the affirma- |
tive. the under sheriff vouchsafed the |
information that a project was on FOOT
for the establishment of a Touring mill
in this city. eff I had the necessary
CAPITAL" said he, 1T wouldn't hesitate
a minute about investing in an enter
prise of this kind. A grist mill In this
city would pay big money on the an
vestment, and from a conversation MAD
the other day with Frank Russell am
of the opinion that that gentleman Sc
riously contemplates building a mill
here next summer. He was In the city
recently on his way home to Valparal-
so, Ind, and expects to return snoruy
with a saw mill outfit, which ne pur-
poses to set UP on Deep creek. he
has considerable means and can get
ample backing in the East Tor une
Touring mill project. This is matter
that should receive the attention OF une
business men of Livingston. With
little announcement from our citizens
I believe that the project would be
go. A Touring mill is something that
this section of the state has long stood
in need of. I know of no single enter
nrise that would be of more benefit to
the city and surrounding country. The
farmers of the Shields river, Yellow
stone and Boulder valleys have never
engaged in raising wheat for the SIM
ple reason that no market exists
for this cereal, but with a grist mill IN
operation DIN this city, wheat raising
would soon become quite general IN
park county A mill. say with capac-
itv of 100 barrels per day, could be
kept in constant operation after the
first wear as there would be nome
market for most of the product. Inc
soil of this section is as well adapueo
to wheat raising as Is that or GaIlatln
valley, and would like to see the ques-
MON OF the erection of a mill in this
city freely agitated."
Several weeks ago a stranger, clad
in the garb of a miner, arrived In this
city with a pack OUTFIT. He claimed 10
have come from South Pass. Wyo:' ana
said his name was Enoch Hon. AS re-
lated in the Standard at the time or
his visit, he seemed to be labordng un-
der the delusion that he was being FOL
lowed by parties bent on killing him
for the purpose of getting possession
of some rich placer ground discovered
by him near South Pass last spring.
He said he had been followed all the
way from wyoming, and that upon his
arrival here he saw one of his would
be murderers on Main street. No
amount of reasoning could convince
him that he was mistaken about pelne
followed and he left for Diamond CITY
firm in the belief that several Wyo-
ming men, whose names he gave, were
camping on his trail The other day
ne returned to this city, having left
his outfit near Townsend. he safd ne
H. laEf hi c
horses behind because he could trave
cheaper on foot. He called at one OF
the newspaper offices and related the
trouble that he was experiencing in ar
effort to elude his imaginary murder
ers He only remained in town a Few
hours, and then continued east on loot
stating that he was going to the hous'
of his sister, Mrs. J. Miner, whom n
said lived at Upton, Cedar county
Iowa. He left, as he came, armed Will
a butcher knife, revolver and shotgun
Aside from his peculiar hallucinatiol
about being followed he appeared ra
tional enough.
