and small stock growers in this and Athe
adjoining counties 1 sent for aud re-
ceived copy Of Mr.. Shafroth's public
land bill, as well as several other bills
that contemplate some changes IN the
present condition Of the PUBLIC domain.
1 also wrote our governor. United States
senator's and representatives, telling
them that We people over here ot the
western slope want to be ut ALONE. &nd
that there is y unanimous and bitter
sentiment in this portion of the state
against any legislation that may 10 any
manner allow or render it possible for
the public range to be monopolized by
large cattle or sheep syndicates. 80"
l have received answers from all OF
them, and 80 enclose herewith
copies, including q copy Of Mr.. Shat
roth's bill, and you are at liberty to
publish all of them or any portion, to-
cether with this explanatory letter, II
you 80 desire. You will see that there
is much misinformation in the press
and public mind on this question. -
However. there are several leasing
propositions before congress and others
being prepared, so that 1t is high time
we should take united and energetic
action to preserve our public range.

THE HERALD herewith reproduces
the gist Of the answers received by Mr..
Taylor, the one from our congressman,
bearing Washington date Of the 4th

of 100000.

The clouds which have gathered around
the life of H. S. Barnet have cleared
away long enough to permit 100000 to
drop at his feet Barnet for a num-
Der of years lived in st. Paul and was
better known as Risky Barnet" He
had no occupation in particular, gambled,
organized local variety troops and did a
turn on the boards himself occasionally
at the old Olympic.
About 1890 Barnet went to Duluth,
where he stayed for two years managing
a variety tbeater. From Duluth he
went to Spokane. Here he spent a great
deal of his time counting Dame Fortune on
the green cIoth. While in Spokane he
engaged in a fight with John Bull, the
famous confidence man. When the fight
was all over and they began to reckon
losses it was found that "F'risky'' had
shot Bulls arm off.
From Spokane Barnet went to Seattle,
and has since been roaming all through
the West.
He learned of his good fortune only
a few days ago, when he was notified
by New York law firm that a relation
dying in England, had bequeathed him
an estate.

Frank Ledo was IN police court yester-

his father Nov. 2 at their farm, near
Highwood. The testimony developed that
young Ledo had made his presence IN

therefore expelled.
About a month later he turned up one
day while his father and brother were
engaged in erecting a fence. He engaged
in a heated conversation with his father
and terminated the conversation by beat
ing his father over the head with fence

He then left the scene and soon after
returned with a revolver, which he did
not use. The hearing was continued until

HEART OF CHICAGO.

On next Wednesday night "The
Heart Of Chicago" comes to the
Opera House. One OF the most real
istic scenes of the place is that of
the draw-bridge. when the schem-
ing partner, with the aid OF several
scoundrels, attempts to wreck a
fast train by sending it through an
open draw-bridge. The draw is
opened, the signals changed to
clear track and the audience sees
the dim headlight of the engine ap-
preaching in the distance. Gradu-
ally the light grows larger, as the
engine comes speeding onward, and
just as it seems that the fatal train
is to be wrecked, the heroine ap-
pears and sets the signals at danger
and the train comes to stop with
in a few feet of the open draw. The
play is mounted with beautiful
scenery. The vivid pictures of the
great tire--the Court of Honor. a
reproduction of the great feature Of
the Worlds Fair, and a bird S eye
view of Chicago looking south from
the Masonic Temple, are said TO be
three of the realistic stage pictures.
The play is said to be Interpreted
by an excellent cast. Bright and
sparkling comedy permeates every
act and up-to-date specialties to re,
llcve the tensionof the heart scenes.
