terday. The news was received here

The %Cg)-noble "duke" of York now
%languishes in durance vile-where he
properly belongs. After taking Joe
Beauties horse and cart as narrated bv
the MAD1soNIAN last week. the
duke" proceeded up the Ruby valley
until he came to the elegant home of
Senator Alex Metzel, York ranch"
and, of course, being attracted by the
name OF the place, stopped and pro-
ceeded to buy all of the Senator's fat
beeves, some six hundred in number.
1t is said that the Senator after selling
all his beef cattle and promising to
be on Red Rock by Sunday evening
to turn them over, noticed that the
purchaser had no overcoat and kindly
offered him one to keep until they
should meet on Red Rock.
After leaving the York ranch, the
duke" proceeded up the river, and
was overtaken by Sheriff Haines
whilst negotiating for the cattle OF
Thomas Callahan. He came along
with the sheriff without trouble. but
informed him that if he could have
gotten Callahan started a little sooner
he would have secured a horse and
that in a short time he would have
beer beyond reach. That evening he
was given a hearing before Police
Magistrate McGown. He said that
his true name was Charles Claiborne
Herbert Wimhurst- Wrigley, but it
develops since that lying is not the
least of his varied accomplishments.
After the complaint was read to him
by County Attorney Galloway he said
that he was not DESTROYS of having the
services of an attorney, and that he
would waive examination. He was
bound over to await the action of the
district court, his bail being fixed at
$1,000. Contrary to the expectation of
the officers, who supposed that he
would deposit some of that $500 a dav
income, he is still stopping at the iail.
AS court does not sit until November
IS, he will have plenty of time to think
nm all of biC ON

fully inspecting the location for the
new bridge across the Jefferson river
near Ed Cardwell's ranch contracted
for the building of the same with the
King Bridge Company. 1t is to be a
steel bridge consisting of two spans,
each 10 feet long. The bridge will be
an exact duplicate of the iron rod
bridge, except that the spans will be a
little shorter and the cost less than
half as much. There were eight bids

accepted. This makes the bridge by
far cheaper than any bridge of it's
kind in the state
