THE PARK.

l.incols Park is being settled quite
fast. II has been but few years
since it was barren place with but
two or three log houses and two or
three little garden patches watered
from Mil Greek, The water was car
ried in a ditch abort foot deep and
looked about like a plow furrow.
The Park was christened Lincoln
Park in honor of President Lincoln
by Mr.. William Shepherd, Sr., in the
year of SO. A few years passed and
the families moved to a better loca-
tion, so the, then thought. Time
passed by, the houses were carried
away piece by piece until nothing was
left to show of any habitation. The
Park lay idle for years. Mr.. Prentiss
put a pump in about fifteen years ago
forcing the water from the river up
on the Park, watering it on the lower
side.
Three years ago Mr.. DeWeese
thought there was still better way
for watering it, SO he and Mr.. Dye
formed a company and made the ditch
from Grape Creek, carrying the water
several miles. Since then there has
been steady growth in the population
and cultivation Of Lincoln Park.

ALL the sorrow and tragedy just
now is not being caused by the war.
Passengers on the down train from
Cripple Creek last Thursday were
witnesses of scene of sorrow which
they win not soon forget. A mother
was on board with her only baby. She
had started for Canon but had only
money enough to pay her passage to
Florence. The child was sick and she
was fastening to lower altitude to
save her darling's life. Hardly half
way down were they when the child
became worse and died in its mothers
arms. Alone with death, without
friends or money.

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. l3.-The Bear

wanted for resisting halftreed dep
uty United States marshal
Commissioner Jones, who put in the
day in council with them, returned to
say that theenet result of the days
powwow is two future powwows. One
will be held between the hostiles and
the agency Indians, the other will be
held che next day between these rebels
and General Bacon and Commissioner
Jones. The purpose of Bear Islanders
in comforting with the friendly Indians
is to get their advice on the subject Of
surrendering the men wanted, their
failure to do which has caused the
presence Of troops there. At the coun.
Gil with the officials the question of
surrsndering the Fugitives
to the United States marshal may be
discussed. At the council held during
the day the Bear flanders re.
fused to talk about surrendering the
men. They talked only of their griev.
ances against the deputy marshals,
who, they say, oppress them, and
against the men whom they charge
with stealing their timber. When
these questions are settled, they said,
they would talk of the surrender de.
manded by Marshal O'Connor. Com.
missioner Jones said that, incidentally,
he inquired about the battle, and the
Indians assured him not one of them
received a scratch in it.
A telegram has been prepared by
General Bacon ordering the Fourth
and Seventeenth regiments of regulars
here At the earnest request of Com.
missioner Jones the order will be held
in allegiance until after the council.
