THAT HORSE CREEK TROUBLE
Further Particulars Relating to the
Threatened Assassination.

Henry Delaby, step-father Of the two
Smith boys who were warned of their
ranch on Horse creek a couple Of days
ago, as already reported, called in at
The Republican office today. He still
remains on the ranch but states that
his two sons are filled with the fear
that they will be assassinated and are
afraid to go back to the ranch.
Mr.. Delaby says that the warning let
ter was received by the boys at Sum-
NIT %postofice last Sunday and 1t had
been In the office since Tuesday. The
notice. which was evidently written in
a disguised hand. read:
you are spotted. If you don't leave
within three weeks you will follow
Fred Powell"
Mr.. Delaby proposes to see the mat
ter out and is trying to secure evidence
against certain parties whom he says
he has reason to believe are guilty Of
making the threats against the lives Of
his family.
In the meantime the two boys are
making Laramie their headquarters.

A Lone H|CHWAYMAN.
SAID TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE HOLDING UP OF THE
PASSENGER.
Worked on the Express Car Safe for
Fully 80 Minutes Before the job
Was Given Up-A Large Amount
Of Registered Mail Taken-Uncle
Sam Securing the Country.

Salt Lake City Utah. Oct. 14.-The
vest bound Union Pacific fast mail
train, due here at 3:15 o'clock this
morning. was held up and robbed by a
single man a short distance east i,
Uintah, nea the mouth Of Weber
canon. and about eight miles from Og-
den. 1t was at first supposed that two
men did the work. Just how much
booty was secured cannot be told, as
the robber secured only the registered
mail.
The holdup was so disguised as to
prevent any possibility of identifca-
ton. The train was in charge Of Con-
ductor Allen and Engineer Rowland.
The robber crawled over the engine
and covered the engineer and fireman,
compelling them to stop the train and
cut off the express and mail car. He
ordered the two men to pull their Lats
over their eyes and disguise themselves,
making it appear there were three rob-
bers.
After the express and mail car had
been cut of the robber got on the en-
CINE and ran 1t west half a mile, where
he began his attempt to blow open the
safe. The engineer in the meantime
had made his escape on foot. while the
fireman also slipped away, going to the
rear portion Of the train.
Tho rpEhar forooI +l,1
senger to keep quiet while HI attempt
ed to blow open the safe. but his work
for 80 minutes proved a failure. He
finally ordered the mail clerk to throw
out all the registered pouches, which
the robber rifed and then escaped in
the darkness. A tramp made his way
from the front portion of the train to
the rear section Of the train and re-
ported that the robber had fed. The
section foreman took charge Of the
train and al 1t to Uintah. where he
found the engineer. None of the pas
sengers were molested.
Officers have left Ogden. Kaysville,
Salt Lake and Evanston and the coun-
try is being searched for suspicious
characters. Three tramps who were
found or the train lave been Jailed and
are held at Ogden as witnesses.
Postofice Inspector McMechen re-
ceived a telegram this morning from
Uintah, Utah, in relation to the robbery
Of the mail there. Another telegram
was received a few hours later from the
postmaster at Ogden. saying that four
Stripes" or registered mail pouches.
due through to San Francisco. had been
rified. Postofice Inspector Nichols OF
Salt Lake set out at nce for the scene
of the robbery.

RANCH PROPERTY BURNED.
Valuable Horses Destroyed at the Titus
Ranch.

At 10 o'clock this morning the stable
belonging to the ranch of Ed Titus on
the Pioneer ditch took fire and was
completely destroyed with it's entire
contents. Two valuable stations which
e in their stalls were burned to
death. Quite a lot of ranch machinery,
harness. etc, were also destroyed.
An unfortunate circumstance was that
when the fire started there was no per-
son near the premises. Joe Barthe
happened to be about a mile from the
house and first noticed the smoke. Be-
Tore he had time to reach the barn 1t
was a complete wreck.
The loss has not been estimated, but
will probably be over $500.

A HOMEMADE FERTILIZER FOR
CORN.

My 200 acre farm is composed of
limestone, sandy and clay soils. Ipre-
pare my corn land in the following
manner: Cover the ground with coarse
manure, which is plowed under, then
after narrowing and marking, pre-
pare a compost in the following man
manner: For a Is acre field l take
Is barrels wood ashes, IL of hen ma
nure and Of fine manure scraped from
the barnyard and mix thoroughly to
gether. This compost is then dropped
in the hills before planting, l have
been using this compost for the last Is
years, pro ucing an excellent yield Of
corn and a good growth of stalks, Cx-
cept for the last two years have had
poor yield Of corn with the usual good
growth OF stalks Will you kindly give
an explanation for this2-H. w. D.,
Columbia Co, n y.
The good culture and the application
Of nitrogenous manures have tended to
stimulate the vegetative system Of the
corn, and the potash also has tended IN
the same direction. This stimulation
(Of course the word Is used in it's better
eensC) has tended to multiply the roots
in the eaTly stages of growth, which is
beneficial. The potash has also helped
to set free the phCephoric acid. The
result has been to deplete the land of
its mineral elements, especially phos
phoric acid. It will be readily seen
that the ration fed TO the plants un-
balanced and the result was what might
have been expected unless the soil was
unusually fertile in phosphoric acid
and other minerals. A good crop of
clover would bring, without cost, large
quan tiles Of mineral matter from the
subsOil and an application of the same
mapures that have been used with q
liberal per c3nt. of available phoephoric
acid would, without doubt, overcome
the difficulty. A little lime might also
be added and the results noted, but
after all the cheapest way would be to
utilize the plant food in the suhsoil by
means of a clover crop.-I P. Roberts,

SOME NEW Goo5EBEKRIEs.

An article in an English paper re-
Gently giving almost fabulous reports
concerning the producJivenese Of goose
berries IN that far way leland, led me
to investigate the merits and success
Of certain new and large varieties now
being tried in this country. That
gooseberry culture here has been great
ly stimulated and increased either by
improved methods of culture, or by
better and larger sorts recently brought
out, is evinced by a recent order given
by one man for 10000 plants. The
English article above referred to stated
that 27 tons Of fruit had been harvested
from 10 acres and the following year
80 tons. But the variety there cult
vatt d is the Industry and it does not
generally succeed in this country, 1t
is too productive and lacks vigor.
An amateur has been testing nearly
ali of the new sorts as they have ap-
peared and fuds a ready market for
all the fruit he can grow. Downing
with him ranks high, but is small to
medium in size; 30 points. Smiths I'm,
proved, small, quality best, has 80
points in it's favor. Keepsake, medium
too large, 81 points. Industry, large, is
graded at ~ points. Red jacket very
productive, 80 points. Triumph, or
Columbia, which is the SAME, is very
large and scores 27 points In freedom
from mildew Downing ranks as best
and Red Jacket as second. With me
the report would be reversed, for Ihave
not found a trace of mildaw since l
have had that variety and the Triumph
has been equally free though not so
vigorous grower. If these large vari
eties should prove as productive and
healthy as the Houghton, a great and
valuable addition will have been made
to the fruits Of the temperate zone and
especially to us in America.-J. W.

TO PREVENT TIE PEACH ROT

Rot is one of the worst enemies Of
early peaches, but it can be controlled
by proper spraying, and at a cost Of
less than two cents per tree for each
spraying. At the Delaware Experiment
Station, five or Elk sprayipgs increased
the yield three fold, and of this total
yield the amount of sound fruit was in
creased from three to four fold, max
ing a total increased yield of sound
fruit at least ten fold on trees sprayed,
at a cost Of 10 or u cents per tree, com
pared t. the uEsprayed, The first ap
plication was made when the fruit buds
opened; the third when the petals had
fallen; the fourth when the fruit y as
the size Of peas; the fifth when the fruit
began to color, and the sixth about two
weeks later. 1t is oou6tful if the two
last sprayiDgs are really necessary il
most seasons. The best success followed
the use Of a weakened Bordeaux mix
ture, made Of six pounds bluestone or
sulphate of copper and six pounds lime,
to As gallons of water. After the first
