Justice Court.

George H. McCoid made COM
plant before Judge Blood, on the
18th inst, against John Nelson,
charging him with the larceny of
five and one half tons of hay from
the ranch of j, w. Heather, last
January. The case was tried be-
force Judge Blood at 3 o'clock p.
M, of last Tuesday, w. G.. Lemon
appearing for the prosecution and
Judge Rowen for the defendent.
The defendent was acquitted.
The facts as gathered at the
trial are as follows: Mr.. Heather
had ten tons of hay in his barn on
his ranch on South Spring creek.
which he offered to John Nelson
for 81 per ton. MI. Nelson said
he would take the hay at $3.50
No bargain was made at the time
and Mr.. Heather testified that he
did not sell the hay to Nelson at
any subsequent period, but did
sell the hay to George H. McCoid
in the latter part Of December,
1898. So far there was no con-
hict in the testimony of either,
but Nelson testified that he came
to MI. Heather III the early part
of November, having bought more
stock, and told him he would take
the hay at 81 a ton if he could
have the use of the barn to feed it
in, to which he claims Mr.. Heath
er consented. When Mr.. McCoid
went to haul the hay he found
only about half of it there. He
undertook to collect from Nh.
Nelson and, failing to get n settle
ment, brought charge of larceny.
Mr.. Heather was positive hat he
never had any conversation with
Nelson about the hay after Nelson
refused to buy for 81 a ton the
first time. 1t vas "a very %unfortu-
npte affair, as all parties to the suit
are honest, upright citizens, and
it should have been settled out of
court by all means.

MINING MACHINERY.
Boilers, Engines, Air Compressors and
Pumping Machinery Finding Its
Way into the Mountains in
Large Quantities.

The ore teams of the Rudefeha
mining company passed through
here this week loaded with new
machinery for that mine. The
outfit comprised a Is horse power
boiler, IN air compressor and re-
ceiver and a lot of other machin-
cry, together with fire brick and
mining supplies, in all about 49,
600 pounds, which is being taken
in to the mine to be placed in po-
sition yet this fall. The company
have also given a very large order
to Cosgrif Bros. Co. of this place
for supplies of every kind needed
in the camp and in the store which
they will establish in that place.
The 400 tons of ore at the land
ing has all been hauled to the rail
road and shipped to Chicago, with
the exception of about n car
load. There will be no more ore
hauling until the new machinery
is in position at the mouth of the
new shaft. and the new road from
the mine to this place made ready
to travel AS it is the intention to
remove all the stumps and other
distractions with giant powder on
the road it will be a month at least
before it VIII be ready for use. 1t
is expected that when the road is
once in shape that it will make a
good winter road, one on which
the snow will not drift to any
very great extent, and the hauling
of ore will not be interrupted until
the going off of the the snow in
the spring,
Hon. George Ferris came over
the new road Saturday arriving
here at IL o'clock a. IN. He esti-
mates the distance from the mine
to Saratoga at 26 miles and says
his teams can pull a full load of
10000 pounds each on sieds from
the top of the divide to the edge
of the timber and in wagons to
this place, and thinks the expense
of hauling ore to the railroad will
be diminished fully one half.

out of the Platte river, and allow
ing them to spoil by the score,-
literally catching them for the
sport of pulling them out, and
then allowing them to spoil be-
cause they could not eat them or
give them away, The Sun knows
whereof it speaks in this matter.
While these men may not have
exeede" the twenty pound limit,
they have caught far more than
they or their friends could
use. In some instances it is
related of them that when they
have caught all the fish hat the
law would permit they have gone
on fishing, turning the fish caught
loose again. Not many people
are aware of the fact that nearly
every fish SO caught and worried
to the drowning point and then
turned loose dies, but it does, as
every one posted in such matters
can vouch for.
Another unpleasant feature con-
nected with this question is that
the large fish are fast disappear
ing, not a single large fish of the
dimension of ten pounds having
been caught this year. We are
told by the men who are posted in
the matter that five pound fish
are beginning to be a rare thing
much rarer than any season be-
fore the present one.
The fact is there should be a
license exrcted from every nom
resident of the state, for which he
should be compelled to pay at
least $50 for the privilege of fish
ing in any of the waters of the
state, and this fee should go to-
ward the support of the state fish
hatcheries. By this means the
state could be enabled to keep the
streams stocked at lessened ex-
pense.
1t is not a pleasant thing for the
people of this state to contem-
plate-that of seeing outsiders
come in and clean our streams of
fish without contributing a single
cent toward the replenishing of
them again. Let us have a good
stiff license for all non-residents.

WYOMING FISHING.
The Large Trout Disappearing-A $50
License From Non-Residents
Should be Demanded.

wyoming trout fishing is COM
monty held to be the best to be
found anywhere on this mundane
sphere, but | fear me that it will
fall below its standard this sea-
son." remarks A. B. Daniels, in
the Denver Times, who has just
returned from a ten days fishing
trip on the Platte witt, headquar-
tiers in Saratoga. Il had good
enough luck on my trip, but the
fishing was not what it should be
at this time of year. The cause
of this is found in the fact that the
water was unusually high this sea-
SON., and it has been receding
rather slowly. The Wyoming
anglers expect good fishing from
now on, but this is what they
should have had for the past four
or six weeks. The season will be
very short, for Jack Frost viii
soon camp in Wyoming. OF
curse that will not interfere with
the fishing, put it will make a pis-
catorial trip a bit unpleasant.
Wyoming is not exactly a pleas
ant place for foreign fishermen at
the best, owing to the fact that
you are not permitted to bring
any of your spoils with you. OF
course one could sneak a mess OF
trout out of the state, ! suppose
but | would not advise anyone to
try it. The game laws are very
stringent and the citizens of Wyo-
ming lay awake nights trying to
catch the violators Of these stat
ntes."
A great deal can be said on the
subject of the trout fishing in this
valley, at least, in addition to the
above from one of the Colorado
men who has been here the past
summer. 1t might be said that
many men are now coming into
the valley and catching the fish

FOOL TRAIT OF CRABS.

Make PRISONERS OF themselves Dy
Crawling Into Live Oysters.
An oyster shucker found in the shell
of the bivalve what he called baby
crab.
That's the first one of that kind |
ever found in Long Island oyster"
said the old shucker, land I've been
shucklng along the sound for twenty
years. But such crabs are frequently
found In Virginia oyster shells and are
considered great dclicacies when you
get enough of them. Last summer
was shucking while on visit to Nlr-
ginia, and | found enough baby crabs
in oyster shells to fill an ordinary size
coffee pot. \ young woman saw them
and clapped her hands ut the sight.
She asked me what | would take for
them. and said 50 without thinking.
She took me up quicker than Il mice,
and off she ran with them as if she had
drawn a prize.
"Why do they go into oyster shells"
81 don't know. ! asked an old Nir.
ginia shucker that same question, and
some and went in for company. But
don't believe it. That would mean that
crabs think. and we know they don't.
Neither does a lobster. think the
biggest fool in water is a lobster.
suppose you know how we catch lob
sters in the sound? Take box, bore
holes in the side of it, and sink it. Put
out your buoy so you'll know where to
find the box. Leave the box sunk all
night and go out the next morning,
haul 1t up. and you've got a box full Of
Holsters. And the funny thing about
it is that they go into the holes back
ward. Even people will put their
heads into holes where they are look
ing, but it takes "A lobster to back Into
a hole, and they keep on doing it. Fish
are smart. You have to play with
them to bite. But Holsters, they back
right into your arms. Biggest fools

about her domestic troubles, more ex-
travagant in her expenses.
Finally the husbands remonstrances
eliminated in request that she should
name some friend in whom she had
confidence and whom he might take
into his. She suggested Roscoe Conk
ling The husband was staggered.
Conkling was his enemy, politically as
we'll as personally. Moreover. 1t was
Conkling's name that was linked with
Mrs. Sprague's in the gossip of the
capital.
Nevertheless so desperate We're his
straits-for even then the shadow Of
financial ruin was lmpending-that he
consented to unbosOm himself and
lay bare all his private affairs to his
foe.
On Aug. 10, 1879. occurred the sensa
tional episode which was the first blow
to the political prestige of the New
York Senator. Mr.. Sprague, returning
home to Canonchet unexpectedly from
an interrupted journey. surprised Conk-
ling breakfasting with his wife. He
gave him half an hour to leave the
house under pain Of death. Mrs.
Sprague, with her accustomed audaci-
ty, laughed at "Willie's threats" and
heartened the Senator to remain, but
the return of Mr.. Sprague with a shot
gun made the Senator beat precipl-
tate and ing oriots retreat, the shotgun
in his rear.
The flight Of the wife from Canon
chet followed on Aug. 81. Then came
divorce suits, brought by the wife
against the husband and by the hus-
band against the wife. Finally an
amicable arrangement was reached,
and on May ~, 1882, a decree Of divorce
was granted. Mr.. Sprague retained
the son, William Sprague Jr., and Mrs.
Sprague the three daughters. Sprague
afterward married the daughter of a
Virginia farmer.
While the Governor spent his time In
litigation, trying to save something out
of the wreck. Kate Chase retired to
Edgewood, the small property left by
her father in the suburbs Of Washing
ton. There she lived during the last
fifteen years, with steadily dwindllng
fortunes, until Il few months ago she
was offered by Secretary Gage clerk 8
position in the Treasury Department,
over which her father had once pre-
sided. She declined the place, and only
few weeks ago. Edgewood. covered
with mortgages, was ordered to be
sold.
or her children the son committed
suicide in Seattle in 1890, but her three
daughters survive her. The eldest,
Ethel. went on the stage. but short
time ago she married and retired from
public view.

unfailing charm OF manner, she easily
remained the center of attraction In
Washington society. All these gifts OF
fortune were utilized in the effort to
make Salmon Il. Chase President OF the
United States.
Chase. who had left the Democratic
party on the slavery issue. was willing
to become a candidate of a reconstruct
ed Democracy. and in 1ShS, when the
national convention was held in New
York Mrs. Sprague opened up quarters
there in the interests of her father
Every effort was made to bring the
man and the pla tform into harmonious
relations, but failed. The convention
would not go far enough to suit Mr.
Chase and the latter was unbending.
He did not long survive his disappoint-
ment. In 1870 he suffered paralytic
stroke and in 1873 he died.
His death precipitated a rupture be-
tween Mrs. Sprague ana her husband.
After that event she became less cir
cumspect in her conduct. less reticent
