He has numerous competitors i'll his

A CHASTITY Find.

f'oo y CloCA, L. t. hedley,
brakeman on the Union Pacific
railway, discovered the mangled
remains of two men lying upon
the yard track leading to the coal
chutes. The bodies were taken
to the court house and an inquest
held upon them by Justice Policy
and a jury composed of the fol
lowing men: B. Beatty, foreman,
J. r. Alcock, DR.. Hungerford,
August Polzin, Henry Brown,
Otis johnson. Four Witnesses
Marshal Twomey, T. F. Healey,
P. j. Carr, and F.. w. Fletcher
We're examined. Mr.. Twomey
testified that he had seen the two
men whose bodies were found, on
the previous day; that he had
warned them to keep out Of the
railroad yards, and that they had
promised him to do SO. Mr..
Healey testified as to finding the
bodies, as also did Mr.. Fletcher.
Mr.. Carr testified that there had
been but one engine on that par
ticular track during the night;
that was thc anoine of passenger
train No. 104, which he b =
had run to the coal chutes about
9 O'Clock TlArsday night, Mr..
Carr's opinion was that his engine
killed the two men as it was back
ing to the roundhouse from the
coal chutes. This was also the
opinion formed by the jury and
verdict was rendered according
ly.
Nothing was found upon the
bodies of the men by which they
could be identified. In the pock
cts of one of the men was found
purse containing Sl.10 in mon
ey and card from an employ
mcnt agency in Denver. Both
men were dressed as labOrers,
and their hands showed that they
had been used to hard work.
One of the men was about 5 feet
9 inches high, of dark complexion
and slender build. His head was
completely severed from his body
and his arms and legs were badly
mangled The other man was
about ) feet 7 inches high, Of
sandy complexion, heavy build.
His body was not SO badly mang'
led as the other.
The inquest established the fact
of the killing Of the men by an
engine, but no particulars of the
accident could be brought out.
Mr.. Carr, who was in charge Of
the engine that did the killing, is
of the opinion that the two men
were standing on the track watch
ing an outgoing train and did not
see his engine or hear his bell.
The bodies were buried Friday

is situated in Colorado, the source Of
its maintainance lies within the boun-
dares of Nebraska, the state line
touchin. within few miles, both east
and north. To the south runs the
South Platte, and up and down its
pathway stretches valley beautiful
and grand. Considerable farming is
done. but the principal industry is
stock raising, and as far as the eye can
reach great herds Of cattle may be seen
grazing upon the hillsides, in the val
ley, and far back upon the plateau
that extends for forty miles to either
side.
In describing the wonderful advan-
tages and resources of the Platte val
ley. W. Fl. Pound, county attorney of
Sedgwick county, said: 'It may be
said without vain boasting, that the
country around Julesburs furnishes
the best natural advantages for stock
raising in the world. The man who
owns his big farms in the east is
slave, compared to the easy way Of
getting rich in this country. | know
men here today who came here a few
years ago and bought Il half a dozen
cows, and turned them out on the
range, and now they are rich. The
stock simply grew into wealth."
Julesburg is one of the leading trad
| ing towns in the west. 1t is the conn
II seat of Sedgwick county, and here
= side the county officials. At present
the town is under temperance Jaw,
but what plainsnan is there who could
not find flow of firewatcr, if he but
seek? There is one boy here who
makes from 25 cents to 80 cents every
morning selling "empties" he picks up
in the park and alleys.
The mayor, Z. J. Mason, is an old
timer, and knows how to extend west
ern courtesy to all well meaning jour
neymen, who chance along the trail.
w. II. Pound is city attorney, city
| clerk, and county attorney, all at lone
and the same time" and it is said that
nothing Of interest to his constituents
escapes his ever watchful eye. J. T..
Twomey is chief Of police. and he has
no fear Of man or beast.
One of the neatest little papers in
the west is published here by G. M.
Braxtan, and he doesn't have to de
pend on the dog towns either, for
his circulation.
The Union Pacific company has
made extensive improv ements at
Julesburg during the past year, over
$4,000 being put into improvements,
buildings and trackage. 1t is stated
on very good authority that the divis-
ion of the road will be changed from
Sidney Nebraska, to Julesburg. This
is already the junction of the road,
and it is quite probable that there is
something more than talk in the prop
ositon.
Spring rains have been frequent and
copious all over the range, and as a
consequence cattle are looking fine,
and stockmen are feeling elated. 1t
! is maintained that the ranges have
more cattle feeding on them this sum
mer than ever before. With the up
ward tendency of the stock market the
stock raiser feels himself getting rich
er every day. A. U. MAYFIELD.

all foreigners in China are the same,
the burden of war will be shared with

the United States naval forces brig

1t is possible, of course, that peace will
be restored before then, but the war
department is taking no chances on
that. Supplies, including winter cloth

Manila.
The news of the safety of the
foreigners who were so persistently
reported to have been murdered in
Pekin, caused the president to say, be-
fore leaving Washington for months

that he believed the worst Of the Chi

who heard him, said that he agreed
with him, provided the Europeans did
not deliberately take steps to inten-

If many congressman have not un-

DsPartnsnt Stores want Them to Make

A movement Is on foot to put a one
half cent coin in general use in the
United States. Several suggestions
have been made to the government,
and last week a document was present
ed. signed by the heads of the big
department stores of New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg,
showing the need for this money in
making change where articles are sold
at 81, M, 12lsc, and at similar prices.
The half cent coin has been in use in
Chicago for the last two years, and last
week one of the New York stores or
dered 500, 600 one-half cent coins. These
coins are to be made of copper, size
one-half inch In diameter, or just two
thirds OF the size OF the regular one
cent piece. Stamped in heavy raised
figures and letters Non one side will be

appear the name and address OF the
firm issuing the coins. Besides, being
q convenient change maker, this new
coin Is considered an advantage from
an advertising standpoint, as 1t carries
the name and address OF the merchant
and would be carried in the purse
sometimes for weeks, until the Gus
toner receiving Il returns to the store
where It can be used in making pur-
chases. So far the United States gov
eminent has nothing to do with issuing
this new money. 1t Is put out by in
dividual firms and Is only recognized
at the store from which 1t is issued.
The proprietors of the big stores are
anxious, however, to have the govern
ment make and recognize the h-cent
