last Wednesday evening, it was decided
that the people of that municipality
should put of the drawn and angular
expression worn by them with such
gentle resignation, and on the Fourth
of July to firt with Mirth and Jollity.

subscription paper was produced show
ing that $3.50 had been pledged by the
people Of Colby. The committee on
finance consists Of three members: n.
A. Turner, J. NJ. Donelan and W. F
McCue.
Providing that GoodIand has no cele-
bration this year, Colby intends to
extend a sweeping invitation TO the
paragon town of Kansas-Goodland.
Already a request has been made for
the base ball club of this city to play
the Colby team on the latter's grounds
on that day, promising a liberal purse
for this amusement.
Should the -paragons join Colby in
the celebration of this glorious day,
the people Of religious fame will have
a grand opportunity to make reputa-
ton for big heartedness.

A game Of base ball may be interest
ing, however great the score, if the two
clubs are Of about the same ability in
the art. Such was it Monday when the
northside and southside youngsters
crossed bats for the supremacy, on the
Iatter's grounds. The game consumed
much time and was hard fought con-
test, resulting in q victory for the
southsiders, by q score Of g to 50.
These two base ball factions have been
hard at it for some time, and this game
fell to the sOuthsiders through the
good batting OF several Of their ten
year-olds.

Philip Book sat parslyzed in his old
arm chair. After cIinging to existenee
for several hours IN such a precariOuz
condition, the solitude was broken By
the steps Of & neighbor on Wednesday,
June 6 at two o'clock p. m The relief
which mere human agency can give

Mr. Book came to this county a
number Of years ago, and has been
living alone on his claim eight miles

the time when this calamity overlook
him.
Had it not been for the circumstance
that a neighbor was DESTROYS Of secur-

Mr.. Book might have been left to fate
and died in his chair. It seems, how
ever, that one Of his neighbors, on his
way to q more northern point, stopped
at Mr.. Books home at ten o'clock in

for the plants, which be was to get on

His condition having been relieved
as much as possible by home simples,
DR.. ". H. Farrow was summoned, who

Of store buildings contiguous to Daw-

pIemented by much stamping Of the

might have been a cOnhagration.
In the afternoon some rubbish had

was extinct, but in the evening a very
brisk wind arose which removed the
covering Of ashes and blew about the
live Goals at the bottom.

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
Gus safer, . Boy or Nine Years, Meets
Death In SaddIs-He Was HerdIng
for George T. Wilson.


Death has all seasons for his harvest
Through winter and summer, and day
and night, this Harvester Of the human
race, with his sickle, cuts down the
ripened grain and the flowers that
grow between
If ever a grave stone mark the place
where today beneath q newly made
mound in the GOOdIand cemetery,
rests the remains Of Master Gus Safer,
the engraEen name alone VIII call forth
from the memory Of many for years to
come the frightful circumstances Of
his death.
Scarcely a month has passed since
Gus Safer, a boy Of nine years. left the
residence Of his grandfather in Good
land, to herd cattle for Mr.. George 7.
Wilson, who lives IA miles northwest
Of town. The boy herded cattle for
Mr.. Wilson last summer, and entered
upon the same employment this year.
He was given a gentle old mare for a
saddIe-horse that had been handled by
children with almost perfect safety.
A cowboy saddle was used on the an
imaI, but the stirrups being too long
for Gus, he was forced to put his feet
between the stirrUp-straps.
Mrs. Wilson, having been quite III,
was being cared for at the home Of her
mother, Mrs. J. NJ. Lamb, Of GoOdland.
Consequently, Mr.. Wilson and the boy
were keeping house alone. On Tues
day, little before noon, Mr.. Wilson
sent Master Safer to bring the cattle
which had drifted away about two
miles, to within a mile Of the house,
while he was to prepare dinner.
The boy, having driven the cattle to
where he was directed, was returning
home, when Mr.. Wilson, CHANGING to
look in that direction, saw the old
white mare at a distance Of One-half
mile, running toward the house, and
dragging her rider by the left foot
Running to the rescue, he caught the
horse some distance from the resi-
dence, and released the prisoner, then
unconscious, from which condition he
never revived He expired In a short
time. The body was badly bruised on
both face and back from being drag
ged; the clothing was torn from his
body excepting Overalls, and the stir
rup-strap twisted three times about
his ankle. 1t is supposed that the boy
was thrown from the saddle by the
stumbling Of the horse, which became
frightened at the hanging position Of
the rider, and ran
NeighbOrs were summed to the scene
Of the tragedy, but Of no avail. The
corpse was brought to town in the af-
ternOOn. An inquest over the body
was held.Wednesday at 9 o'clock, jury
rendering the verdict that Gus Safer
came to his death accidentIy by being
dragged by horse. The funeral was
held from the Christian church at 2:30
The deceased boy has a father, a
brother and a sister, living in Iowa;
his mother is dead.
Mr.. E. Safer Is now left alone. The
little boy made home bright for his
grandpa, who viii greatly miss his
young companion.

A Rich Mans Project.

\ rich mans statements that he in
tends to devote almost his entire for
tune to charitable works has aroused
much discussion. This is because ii
will accomplish much good. 1t is a
praiseworthy endesvor, but there are
many other agencies which accom-
plish just as much good. Take Hos.
tetter's Stomach Bitters, for instance
the great American remedy. For
fifty years it has cured constipation,
dyspepsia, and all the ills which arise
from weak digestion. This medicine
will keep the stomach in good shape
and the bowels regular. 1t is a won.
derful restorative tonic and health
builder. 1t is also a preventive ol
malaria, fever and ague. Ask for it,
and insist upon having it. See that a
private revenue stamp covers the neck
OF the bottle.

sidered a high price for hares that

with which this species Of the rodent

Description Of Process Used I'm the
IincoIn Coansy Properties.
A recent visitor to De Lamar, Lin
coin county, gives the following de-
scription of the vast resources of
that property.
The ore is stopped out in immense
chambers, many of which are from
40 to 100 feet wide and so to 200 feet
long. well timbered up in square
sets and as the work proceeds up
ward, the space between sets is filled
with waste. Thus the work goes on
from level to level and horizontally y
on each level. in the course Of which
are seen some excellent specimens of
fine timbering. An illustration OF
the system employed is seen by the
general superintendent's mine chart
on which is recorded the assay value
OF the ore from every block or square
set on any level or stope in the mine.
From 40 to so assays are made
each day from ores collected by the
sampler from which the daily record
is made up. The mill crushes about
300 tons of ore per day. The leach-
ing tank capacity is 5000 tons per
month. and about 5000 tons of ma
terial are constantly in course OF
treatment through the mill. Two
large vacuum tanks serve their pur-
pose in drawing the liquid from the
teaching tanks to the precipitating-
room. where zinc dust is used in
stead Of zinc shavings. The equip
ment for reducing the auro-cyanides
to bullion is quite complete. and
once q month the gold bars are
shipped in a burglar-proof safe to
Salt Lake City.
