WATSON ON

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 7.-Thos. Watson.
the vice presidential nominee of the
populist party, addressed a Labor day
audience of 5000 people at the fair
grounds today. Watson pleaded with
the people to stand to the contract
made between the laborers and farm
ers in st. Louis in 1889. and the peo-
pies party who represents that con-
tract.

enemies of labor and Sewall represents

STRUCK 1T RICH.

The Copper King mine, at War Bon
net, is all right. and no mistake. An as
say certificate came in on last Wednes-
days mail which removes all doubt as
to whether or no the boys have a pay
ing mine. 1t was from ore passed over
in the tunnel several weeks ago, and
yields a value of 1922 in copper and
$3.50 in gold. The Copper King people
knew at the time they found this ore
that it was rich-one need not be an
expert. to see it-but they kept on.
without having it assayed, preferring
to drive the tunnel On through an iron
dyke just encountered before ascertain
ing it's value. They have % inches of
this ore at the point where it was found
which will doubtless widen as depth is
attained.
This claim was staked and develop

GOLD IN THE VALLEY.
A Very Rich Find Reported on the En-.
campment.

There has been a good deal of sup
pressed excitement throughout the val
ley for the past ten days over the new
finds on the south fork Of the Encamp-
ment river, which has cast that all
absorbing topic. the money question,
in the shade. Rumors as to the rich
ness and extent Of the new belt have
been floating around. but they were OF
so fabulous a character that we have
paid but little attention to them up to
the present time.
A. H. Huston and Ben Culleton OF
Cow creek and Grand Encampment
valleys are the lucky men in this in
stance and are satisfied that they have
got a good thing. The new camp is on
the south fork OF the Grand Encamp-
ment and the pay streak is not to ex-
coed three inches in width, but is rich
In free gold. The work done so far is
not sufficient to fix the extent and char
acter Of the lead, but If the vein does
moi widen as 1t goes down. its present
richness will lie SUFFICIENT inducement
to follow 1t to any depth.
The vein crops out for a long dis
lance, and the only wonder is that it
has not been found long before this.
Besides the locations made by Mr.. Hus-
ton and Mr.. Cu1leton and their friends,
a party OF seven rel up from here
the past few days and located eight
claims-one company and seven indi-
vidual claims. Mr.. Huston expresses
his determination to a tunnel in on
the lead this coming fall, and II the ore
is rich enough to ship he will put in q
night and day shift and push develop
ment as fast as possible. We hesitate
to repeat what we have heard from
good authority, concerning the value
OF this ore, but picked specimens run
away up in the thousands. A Cripple
Creek miner pronounced one Of the
specimens to be the richest piece OF
mineral of free gold character that he
ever saw.-Sarauoga Sun.

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. Cen. Dan
w. Jones. of Little Rock, today elected
governor for Arkansas, and the en-
tire democratic state ticket has been
successful at the polls. There was but
two full tickets in the field, democratic
and republican. the populists content
ing themselves with a candidate for

tive anvass of the state, but Files, the
populist nominee. made nc speeches.
The democrats put forth special efforts
to roll up a large majority in this cleo
ton for its moral effect on the free sill
yer cause in other states in November
and the election estimates have placed
Jones majority as high as 0 1000 over
the combined opposition. In Little
Rock the interest in the election cen
tered on the license question. Never
before in the history of the city had
there been such a campaign against IL
cense. The religious element, the w.
c. 7. IT,, and the ministers especially
have been busily engaged for more
than a month in the effort to vote no IL
cense, and were Joined in the move
ment by the republicans. Two big mass
meetings were held by the prohibition
lists yesterday and prayer meetings
were held every hour in all the city
churches today. At 9 p. m. enough re-
turns had been received from the city
polling places to indicate that license
has carried by a small majority and
that the regular democratic ticket in
this county is carried by about the
usual majority.

Sensational Romance Combining Love
and Winchesters.

A special to the Denver News from
Lander says:
A sensational elopement case &C.
Cured on Thursday from the ranch
known as the Mail Camp. at the foot
of Owl Creek mountain. This ranch is
on the reservation and there are no
neighbors within thirty miles. The
proprietor of the ranch, Geo. d. Rog-
ers, is the mail contractor from Fort
Washable to Meeteetse, and one of his
employees, Ed Brown, a young fellow 26
years of age, fell in love with Rogers
16-year-old daughter. The match was
opposed by both father and mother and
Thursday night the young gentleman
and his sweetheart, at the bewitching
hour of -, left the ranch in a buggy
and drove rapidly to the bridge on Big
Wind river, a point thirty miles away.
But a direful condition awaited them
there, as the bridge, which had been
in bad condition for some time, had
partly washed down the stream and
was impossible. In the darkness moth
ing could be done but wait on the river
bank until daylight, when they sought
a ford and crossed and turned down the
road toward Fort Washakie, which was
twenty miles distant.
But the young couple little suspected
that the stern father and his two stur-
dy sons, each of them armed with a
Winchester. were on the trail of the
clippers. But such turned out to be the
case. and the sun was not more than an
hour high when Mr.. Rogers spied the
runaways at a point not more than half
a mile away. At once the two sons left
the father. the one taking a right hand
circuit, the other a left. heading off the
clippers. Reaching the top of a hill,
Brown and the girl discovered the stu
alton and the horses were stopped. His
gun was brought out and the decks
were cleared for action. He motioned
to the young men riding forward to
keep of and with pride pointed to his
gun with which he proposed to defend
himself.
There was a halt and a hurried con-
sultation between the two young men.
when one Of them keeping guard to
head of an escape, the other went back
to confer with the old man. After the
consultation each took up his position
just beyond rifle shot of the clippers.
and there they waited. Finally a fourth
man put in an appearance. and he was
sent to procure the assistance Of Dep
uty United States Marshal Baldwin of
Lander. A few hours later Mr.. Bald
win rode up to the runaways and ar
rested Brown and took the girl in
charge.
The Rogers party would have fired
on the young man, but they were afraid
Of killing the girl. The young lady
smilingly went home with her father.
while her young hero was marched off
to the Lander Jail. where he now lam

Frank Brown. n of the early resi-

In Laramie in the early sos. passed
through en- route to Salt Lake this
morning. Mr.. Brown has been recently
operating In South Africa and other
large mining districts. A thrilling in
cident occurred when Brown was in
town 16 years ago. A man named
Adams came into town one day on the
morning train and had no sooner
struck the platform than Brown pulled
a gun which somewhat resembled a
cannon and told him to prepare to meet
his maker, that he was going to kill
him. Adams pleaded for his life, say
ing that he had just made SIS, 1000 on a
mining deal and wanted to spend it,
but Brown was obdurate and would
have executed his threat had it not
been for Bill Root and two or three
more OF his friends. who interfered
and persuaded Adams to again get
aboard the train and take his fight.
