Kirk, 600 trees; William Fulton,

of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Hopkins.
The party of sixteen left town
about four O'Clock in the afternoon
and drove to Gilpin's Rocks, Mr..
Hopkins appearing later with a
bountiful supply of refreshments.
AS soon as he arrived he was taken
prisoner and relieved of everything
edible to satisfy the keen appetites
of the savage sixteen. Luckily he
came we'll provided and the pangs
of hunger were allayed and the
prisoners life was spared and lib,
erty restored. The pleasant trip
homeward after dusk was not the
least enjoyable feature of the ride.
