Among the many good people residing in

writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied unintcrruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his

had q case chat struck me as q model

was mail carrier over the pass to the
other side of the range. It was not a
long trip, but it was a severe one, made
on foot and with the danger in winter
from heavy SHOWS added to its diff.
Guilty. Andrew carried the mail for q
year, then n day he failed to reach
home. There were valuable letters in
his sack, and the inference that he had
decamped was strong. On the night he
should have come into Silverton his
brother. fresh from Scandinavia and
unable to speak English, got off the
stage. AS county attorney I had to
break the news to the boy and stood by
while he wept.
Rewards were offered for Andrew,
and I sent out parties to search the pass,
Tut to no effect. A miner claimed to
have seen him a week later in Leadville,
but we got no more trace of him. The
brother refused to believe that Andrew
had done wrong and spent his days
tramping the canyons searching for his
brothers. body. We tried to get him to
go to work, but he did not yield until
by his shortness Of funds he was starved
to it. In the summer, when most of the
snow was off. he searched again, but in
vain. During the winter he worked,
but when the second spring came he re-
newed his lonely trampings up the trail.
We thought him demented, but he cared
not for our opinions. One day in August
he walked along at the base Of a cliff
and saw a boot sticking out from some
debris. He uncovered it, and his search
was ended. That evening he came into
town with the mail sack, much stained
but intact, and his brothers. coat. The
grave he dug, with the rough stone he
afterward put at its head, is up the
canyon yet. It took two years to vindi-
cate his brothers. name, but he did not
begrudge it. When it was done, he went
back to his native land. Chicago
