S. III. Tardy Relates His Experience on
the site of Grippe Creek.
S. II. Tardy, a guest at the Southern
hotel, after reading the account of the
second fire at Cripple Creek, said: Il
was one of a party of about 30 who made
up the population of Fairplay, Col, in
1850 We had plenty of pack and saddle
animals, and while the entire population
were prospectors. parties were detailed at
certain times to make prospecting sec

roamed over the ground where Cripple
Creek how stands, or did stand the year
before the war broke out. mention
this" he said to a party at the break
fast table yesterday morning, because
the papers state the money loss from
both fires will aggregate s.. 100000. l can
recall the lay of the country and you
can imagine my feelings when / think
that So years ago l tramped over the hid
den wealth of a country that is now cred
tied with surface property worth
princely fortune"
In speaking of those days Mr.. Tardy
said that he was a member of grub
party from Fairplay who visited old Fort
Garland, N. M. in 1861. They were in
need of a number of articles In the line
of provisions. When they made their
wants known they were informed that
Fort Sumter had been fired upon and that
this circumstance might cause the cut
ting down of provisions for the post.
They used all of their persuasive elo-
quence, however. and finally succeeded In
getting a reasonably good supply of flour
and bacon.
Speaking of the future of Cripple Creek.
another member of the breakfast party
said: This may mean practically the
doom of Cripple Creek. There are a num-

THEY PARTED.
Antoni and Lizzie Ailemandl Break Up
housekeeping

Antoni Allemandi was telling his trou-
bles to a reporter yesterday. His trou-
bles are great His wife has left him.
Antoni is young Italian who wears a
set of frightened chinchillas around his
face and lives in Meaderville. Less than
five months ago, but before the chinchil-
las had begun to bloom, he was married
to young woman who now bears the
name of Lizzie Allemandi. He says they
had no troubles of their own. and as they
fully agreed with the sentiment that a
man should neither a borrower nor a
lender be. they borrowed no trouble from
their neighbors, and yet, while Antoni
was at work yesterday Lizzie packed her
trunk and returned to her fathers house.
When Antoni came home he was inform
ed that Lizzie had left him for good and
he believed II, for at once he hied him
I self to the newspaper offices and obtained
advertising rates on a notice warning the
world not to give his wife credit on his
account, as she had deserted his bed and
board. There was no other man i'm the
case and Antoni claimed he had always
been fairly good husband, as husbands
go. and yet she fled. He thought that
perhaps she had grown tired of smarried
life
