on the face of the bonds stipulating
I that the bonds are not issued In excess
1 of the limitations. This is the ruling
! Judge Rincr made In the federal court
yesterday in the case Of Flora @. Lucas
against the county commissioners and
involving about $4,000 of the bonds in
dispute. which reach n total of half II
| million dollars. about $G6OOO of which
are legal. The ruling of Judge Riuer
seems to reverse that Judge Marshall
made several weeks ago from the same
bench affecting bonds of the same issue
\ and under the same circumstances.
But there is Il great difference in the
value of the evidence submitted and
affecting the vital point.
The government now has a noun
| tain sheep. Buffalo" Jones on the
22d brought in the first results of his
hunt. fine buck lamb about month
old. It's capture was very exciting.
The camp is in the Coal basin valley.
about eight miles from Redstone where
the sheep have been located for four
days. In the morning the eve and
lamb were discovered in an accessi-
! BILE place. An attempt was being
made to get near them when the eve
discovered she was being rushed. She
mt once bounded up the side Of the
steep mountain. The lamb followed.
and gaining IL good height the mother
and lamb disappeared. Shortly after
| wards the eve was seen ascending
still higher, but the lamb had been
hid. 1t was impossible to reach the
point from below where the lamb had
disappeared. Miss Olive Jones, her
father and the guide made long de-
tour and reached Il point as near rs
they could judge directly over where
the lamb was thought to be. Miss
Jones was swung out over the cliff
with rope tied under her arms, and
search found the little fellow hid in n
Lrrevice. The brave girl was drawn
back over the cliff with the lamb in
her arms. this Is the first of the six
\ pair that Buffalo" Jones expects to
| secure under his permit from the state
Of Colorado.
Bear hunters have had great luck
during the last two weeks In the noun
tains near Glenwood. A guide killed
I silver tip bear weighing nearly 900
pounds, the pelt measuring eight feet
and nine inches from claw to claw.
This animal was killed on the Book
Cliffs on Piceance creek. Since then
Mr.. Baxter, accompanied by Charles
J. McGoey of New York, has been on
two trips, In each OF which they were
unusually successful. While hunting
on South Canon Creek, about seven
miles from Glenwood, they killed n
female bear. with two cubs. They
