A Former Vernon citizen In Cuba.

In last weeks Hillsboro Sentry APP
pears letter from Chas. A. Johnson, a
former resident of that place. now a
prominent business man of Nebraska.
The letter was written from Havana,
January 90 1t gives the following in
teresting points;
My wife and | are travelling with a
party of our Nebraska friends. Having
spent some time in our southern states,
especially Florida, we are now in Cuba,
with Havana as our headquarters. AS
we sailed into the beautiful harbor, old
MORO Castle glared down upon us and
we anchored within 100 feet of the
wreck of the Maine. Hundreds of Span
iards and Cubans came to meet us in
gondolas, clamoring in foreign tongue
the name of their hotels. This is truly
an enchanted place. A city of $50, 900
people, with most gorgeous buildings of
huge masonry, with Spanish aristoc-
racy who show great wealth and thrift,
courteous, dressy, and often beautiful
and very friendly and in favor of annex
alton to 5he United States. Then we
find the light and dark-colored Cubans,
who have lost all their property in the
insurrection and are very much dis
pleased with the United States, as they
wish to take the reins of government in
their own hands, which they would be
unfit to manage. The island of Cuba is
the richest land | have ever seen. Veg
citation grows the year around, making
most gorgeous and beautiful foliage,
which can not be described. To say
that we are having good time does not
express our enjoyment. This is trip
of life time. and although quite ex-
pensive feel that shall never regret it.

More Pictures Of fae Inviting West.

BEJ.LvUE, Colo, Feb. z, 1900.
EDITOR CENSOR; Noticing the inter-
esting letter from Bro. Layne and the
mention that several yvenonites were
coming west, thought that perhaps a
few words from this part of Uncle Sans
domain might prove interesting to those
who are contemplating lettering their
condition / hope that no one will
take offense at the foregoing statement,
but two years sojourn in this part of
Colorado proves to me that many Yer
non county farmers and stock growers
could come to our beautiful paradise
and find that nature is especially kind
to and thoughtful of stock growers. Our
coolest morning this winter was Decem-
Der 18th, when the thermometer regis
tered nine and three tenths below zero.
Through the months of January and
February, up to date, 1t has never gis-
tered zero Ground has bsen white
but twice this winter, and then lasting
but few hours. Farmers We're blowing
all through the month of January. Bro.
Layne in his orange grove, might show
us warmer time at this season of the
year, but he certainly can't show us .
climate that will compare with this the
year '1oand Mercury in Summer sell
dom reaches ninety above, and those
who have lived one summer in this
altitude know that the heat is not
nearly so oppressive as it is in the Mis-
sissippi valley, sunstroke being unknown.
Bellvue is quiet little village situated
100 miles northwest of Denver, right
in the very edge of the Rocky mountains,
at an altitude of 5000 feet Consequently
we have plenty of fresh air, beautiful
scenery and the purest water the world
affords. But gentle Vernonite, you
must not think that fresh air and noun
tain scenery is all we have. This is one
of the best agricultural districts west of
the Missouri river, All kinds of small
grain. small fruits and roots are pro-
duced in abundance The Greedy pots to
fields arSaknown even beyond the Miss
issippi Alfalfa produces three cuttings
per season, yielding from II to tons
per acre at each cutting The mountains
pr duce an abundance of fine spruce
and 1r for fuel and building purposes.
The wave of prosperity, which Bro.
Layne mentions, is not enjoyed by Cali
fornia alone. Colorado comes in for her
share, as is verified by the advertise
ments in the daily papers for "Lalp
wanted. But we must yield to Bro
Layne one point-we are never favored
with those holiday tremblors, as he
terms them; nor are we blessed with
those blow-outs of nature, called cyclones
and tornadoes, that are manufactured
down in Kansas and sent out to all parts
of the east.
l notice that Jesse Thompson was in
itiated into the mysteries of the K. p.
lodge. Give the grip, Jesse. rode tho
goat myself at the last session of the
Eft. Collins lodge. But ere this may

NO GOOD GpsUKDs 10 HOLD HIM ON.

viii Mcdonald Is Released From Custody After a
Preliminary Hearing on the Charge Of Murssrir.g
William Marker-Cour Considered the Evidence
Insufficient to Warrant Binding Him Over to a
Higher Tribunal.
The preliminary hearing of William
Mcdonald, who was arrested on a war
rant charging him with the murder of
William Marker, took place before
Squire McMichael, last Friday. The
case was conducted ON the part of the
state by District Attorney Bennett, de-
PENDANT being represented by Smith 81
Griffin. Quite number of witnesses
testified concerning the fights INDUCED
in between Mcdonald and Marker in
the last of which Mcdonald stabbed
Marker several times with his pocket
knife while he was the under man in the
scramble The real point in hearing
was to determine whether the death Of
Marker was caused by the wounds in
fiicted by the defendant. On this point
four surgeons were sworn, none of
whom We're willing to testify that such
were the conditions The court CON
sidered this the only point at issue and
the only one on which he was warranted
IN holding the prisoner to answer to the
charge Of murder, and dismissed Nc
