LITTLE QUEEN HoLD-UP.
Revolver Similar to That Used by the
Robbers Found

Robbers Found.
Friday afternoon there was brought
to the sheriff's Office from Pleasant
View a rusty revolver which was found
by section hand near the Oregon
Short Line tracks, out at the Hot
Springs. The finder knew of the en-
counter between Sheriff Belnap and
Deputy Chambers and three tramps
the night Of Oct It. during which one
of the tramps was shot in the leg by
Sheriff Belnap.
Belnap has always declared that the
man had something in his hands re-
sembling a gun, which he was pointing
at the Sheriff when the latter fired.
Diligent search was made for the Wea-
pom, but it was not found. It will be
remembered that the officers went out
to the Springs to arrest men suspected
of holding up the Little Queen saloon
proprietors and taking about SOS from
the till. They took one of the proprie-
tors with them, who called out that a
certain man running away from the
officers was one of the holdupS. The
sheriff followed the fleeing man, who
turned and, so the sheriff thought, was
about to shoot, when the officer got the
drop. The wounded man had oppor-
tunity to throw the gun away and this
the officers thought he did, hence their
search for the weapon.
During the melee several shots were
fired, but by whom has always been
a mystery. Belnap thought they were
being fred at his deputy, but now
thinks they were fired at him. The
men were brought to ogden and one
was lodged in the hospital, whence he
was recently discharged. He first gave
the name of Cranes, afterward of Jones
and a pawn ticket in his pocket bore
the name of Johns.
Since his release he has still remained
in Ogden, though his two companions
left town within ten minutes after they
were released from Jail.
John, Jones or Cramer has been
waiting around, and it has been said
he intends to bring suit against Bel
nap for damages, and has arranged
with attorneys to take the case. The
announcement that such a suit was to
be brought caused the section man to
forward the weapon to the sheriff S
office as soon as he found it. The sher-
iff being absent the matter was kept
quiet till his return yesterday from
Oregon. The pistol is a Smith & Wes-
son, short BARREL SO calibre, and ap-
parently was a new weapon when left
out in the field. Five chambers were
loaded.
Frank Merrill found the pistol, four
or five of his fellow laborers being pres
ent. It was discovered in the weeds,
near the fence, about 80 feet from the
spot where the man fell after being
shot by Belnap.

was about even, but the Democratic
vote was split between two or more
candidates in each ward, while the Re-
publican vote in every case was cast
solidly for one man. None Of the old
board were renominated, although some
were candidates for denomination.
Those selected are as follows: First
ward, n. w. Haws, D.; Second ward
Professor George Thomas, d.; Third
ward, William H. Apperley, r.. Fourth
ward, Lorenzo Benson, R.; Fifth ward
William Brangham, r.
Great indignation is felt over the
nomination of Benson in the Fourth, as
he is looked upon as incompetent, and
is also the rankest kind of a partisan
He is at present employed as janitor
of one of the school buildings. On the
whole the board is not considered a
very strong one, the Democrats having
the only strong men upon it.

recently had a large cancer removed
from his face, has entirely recovered.

Yesterday was the day set for argu-

fore the attorney general he made out
a report advising the governor that no
conviction could be gained by Dunn's
going back to Idaho. Governor Adams
then listened to the argument of the
attorneys and decided to stand by the
opinion OF General Carr. During the

Champion Sugar Beet Raiser.

Denver News: William c. Smith, a
leading farmer Of the western slope,
is registered at the Windsor hotel. Mr..
Smith came to Denver on a round trip
pass presented by the Denver & Rio
Grande road and is entitled to be the
complimentary guest of the Windsor
hotel FOR three days if he so desires.
He won the prize as the champion
sugar beet raiser of the western slope.
The sample he supplied yielded 1871
per ce-2t purity, whereas the average
of IA competitors reached slightly above
Is per cent sugar. Major Hooper and
Colonel Wiggin offered the inducement
which brought Mr.. Smith to Denver
The farmers of the slope are highly
pleased at the result of the test and it
is probable that practical results will
follow.
II never raised sugar beets before -
said the lucky Mr.. Smith, "but l read
the bulletins of the State Agricultural
college and the beet report issued by
the national government from Wash
ington. L do not believe in extensive
cultivation by farmer when he first
attempts to raise a new product. My
idea is that he should give about the
same attention to the plant that he
would give under normal conditions
and let nature do the rest. The sample
which carried the most sugar was
raised in the valley of the Four Mile,
a tributary of the Roaring Fork. at an
altitude of 1000 feet. We have sun
shine and soil and the experts tell US
that those elements are the principal
features for success in the culture of
sugar beets. Pitkin, Garfield and
Eagle counties could furnish beets for
half dozen factories, and we expect
something tangible to grow out of the
test we made during the season now
ended

Logan, Nov. 2S.-Hon. Joseph Kim
ball returned yesterday from a three
weeks sojourn in Alberta, Canada,

children, who reside there. He gives a
glowing account of his observations
while there. He pronounces it the fin
est agricultural section of the western
hemisphere, there being millions of
acres of the finest farming and grazing
land that could be desired
The average yield per acre in that
section this year was 35 bushels of
wheat and so Of oats. So far no irri-
cation has been done, it being all dry
farming. A project is now on foot,
however, to take canal out on the east
side of St Mary's river, which, when
completed, will water 3,000,0 900 acres of
the very finest farming land.
The Mormon colony there is in a Won
derfully flourishing condition, every
member being prosperous and happy.
There is plenty of work at very good
wages, in fact labor is SO scarce there

of the inability of the people to secure
men to work for them in threshing the
