box mail delivery al along the Animas
valley. Mr.. Biggs, who is thoroughly
informed on matters corrected with
p~ostotice business 10 this vicinity.
thinks the innovation will be one of
great convenieee to the people. The
mail route is now 10 better hands and
more satisfactorily handled than ever
before, and it IS to be hoped that the
present service or its equivalent will be
continued. ~
No effort has yet been made by Du-
range parties to make good the reward
offered for the capture of "Al" or Harry
Stevens. The people who made the
offer are coming about as near making
their word good as the two young fellows
whom they sent down here from the
mountains came to capturing Stevens.
It is row claimed that the reward was
for the arrest and conviction OF Stevens
on the charge Of stealing Stuckman's
team, the Durango people well knowing
that with Stevens held here it would b.
impossible to convict him in Colorado.
And yet they we're notified officially
that they could have Mr.. Stevens for
trial in Colorado and his preliminary
hearing here was delayed purpuaely to
give them a chance to claim him. The
$3.50 reward belongs in this vicinity
and the people who refused payment
are entirely welcome to the measly dough.
