mistress before he shot Border, and
since he has been in Jail he has several
times expressed a desire to have a mar.
risge ceremony performed. Since Judge

Judge Merre!l got Judge Bramel's con-
sent to patch up the fragmentse OF the
laws Of the land that the pair have re-
peatedly broken, by performing the GER
emory. Judge Merre;l rash.y consent
ed to act as best man with the expecta>
ton o. drafting another member of the
bar for a bridesmaid. Performing a mar.
riage ceremony was a new procedure
to Judge Bramel, and he put in the az

form in such cases made and provided.
Unfortunately for Judge Merrell's
clever.y laid plan, Mr.. Chatterton put
in an appearance about the time the
ceremony was to take place. As soon
as the prosecuting attorney saw what
was in the wind he made a great kick.
Consequently Judge Bramel declined to
go ahead with the affair, and the we'd
ding had to be Indefinitely postponed.

ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE "A
DESPERATE GANG.
The Outlaws Were Warned by Friends
Of the SheriR's Approach-Thsif
Rendezvous in the Wilds Of Central
Wyoming-Brief Biography Of
Butch" the Desperate Leader.

---
The Rawlins Republican contains a
lengthy account of an attempt ON tho
part Of Sheriff Davis to capture Butch
Cassidy and his band OF desperate out, /
Jaws, OF which the following Is 1 con, !
iensation:
Sheriff Davis made two unsuccessful
attempt to capture the Powder Springs
gang OF outlaws within the past few
weeks. Although their rendezvous Is
in Sweetwater county Sheriff Davis Is
determined to get them If he can.
Butch Cassidy, the leader, has re-
peatedly slated that he would no be
aiken alive, and 1t is known that his
gang Is as desperate a lot as can be
found in the country. They have peo.
pie in the southern part OF the county
terrorized. They also have a great
many friends throughout the county
who keep them posted on the movements
of the officers, sc that it is almost i'm
possible to surprise them.
On the first attempt Sheriff Davis
went to Saratoga, ostensibly to visit his
ranch, secured a posse o. eight men, and
started out, riding only at night in the
hope OF surprising at least a portion OF
he gang in their camp. When the posse
got to Powder Springs they found that
Cassady and his crowd had got warninA
and left the country. The sheriff had as
a guide a man whom he had sent to
ioin ne outlaws and learn their habits.
On reaching the cabins occupied by the
gang they found only two men there,
and as the guide could not recognize
them as members they we're not arrest
ed.
The camp OF t., outlaws is an ad.
mirable one to prevent surprise. situat-
ed, as It is In a park surrounded by high
hills, from which sentinels can view the
country for miles, they rest in
i've safety. At the first warning of
danger they fly to other hiding places.

so many thousand dollars went from

general ultimate sorrow OF its owners.
The savings banks have accordingly

THE HOOD FARM.
What Native Chelsea Has Done in
Fame, breeding.


The East Charleston correspond
ent of the Barton Monitor gives tn.
following interesting account of what
he saw ON "A recent visit to the cele
bralcd Hood farm
"While we were in Lowell, Mass,
few weeks ago we spent few hours
ut the stock farm Of &. !. Hood, and
perhaps a description Of some OF the
things we saw there VIII be Of inter.
Isl 10 the readers of this paper. Our
time was limited and we could not 90
into all the buildings The first place
visited was about oue.haIf mile from
the farm buildings This place was
where the swine were kept. There
were from three to four hundred hogs
aud pigs. every one Of them rs black
as a coal They have about seven
acres of land on which they are al
lowed to run from different pens and
buildings: the food is al cooked by
steam; the pigs are sold when about
Two months old, the prices ranging
from $50 to s25 for single pig. We
riage and coach horses are kept; there
were twelve Of these and they were
beauties, as were the harnesses and
carriages. The barn where the work
horses belong we did not visit, but
the cattle barn was the best we ever
saw The cows were all out the day
we visited there except the prize cat
tie, which are kept in large, WELL
lighted stalls or pens, and blanketed
and grOomed as well as the horses.
We saw one calf that Mr.. Hood said
: 900 would not buy; il was con-
,idercd to be the best bred calf ever
raised on the farm; they had about
pa head of cattle and MIXED l05,
making from three to four hundred
pounds of butter a week. the butter
being sold in New York for fifty cents
a pound. At the rear Of the barn was
a long lane, on both sides Of which
were small buildings with separate
yards for young cattle, calves. etc.
Near by these we saw large and we'll
filled corn cribs; the corn was picked
in the field aud thrown into rows and
after the stalks were cut and ont OF
the way, the corn was gathered up;
several two-horse teams were drawing
the corn from the field the dav we
were there. Every one about the
place was courteous and seemed will
ing to answer questions and give any
Information desired in regard to the
business. We would advise any one
visiting the city of Lowell to take the
drive and visit this farm.
