he proceeds TO sit "dhurna' upon his

Gently appointed Miss Annie Metcalf of
Denver lately a commercial traveller for
a ST. Louis house, to this rather dan
gerous position. Miss Metcalf is well
qualified for the practical duties of the
position. Like Mrs Warren Neal of
Michigan, she is an expert rifle and re-
volver shot and can handle most weap-
ons as dexterously as any man. She
is also a clever horseWoman and as a
daring, daShing rider is without an
equal among her sex in the state. Be
ing a thorough Western woman she
has had many experiences that do not
fall to the lot of the average person
in these days. even there. While living
in the western part of Colorado she de-
Tended the family home often from the
Utes, who came over from Utah every
year almost to kill game and terrify the
SETTLERS in Routt and Rio Blanco coun-
ties. She has broken vicious bronchos
and nothing delights her more than to
tackle a 'bucker'' that has been pro-
nounced unbreakable. Miss Metcalf did
not seek the position of warden. The
position of clerk to the game commits
sion was offered her. She accepted that
and Mr.. Swan went her one better by
making her game warden.
As clerk she receives $500 per year
As warden she will receive So per day
