SECOND FREE DISTRIBUTION

Co, manufacturers OF this wonderful rem
edy, have decided to make another free
diL -ribution from Henry Evans Drug
St--e, y22 and 924 Z Street northwest,
Friday and Saturday next. This will give
many people who were disappointed In. or
unable to secure samples during the for
mer distribution, an opportunity to try
the best and only guaranteed cure for
Dandruff, Failing Hair. and all Scalp
Troubles FREE. A large number OF sam
pies will be on hand to meet every de-
mand. The A. X. Bremen Co. is desrous
OF allowing everyone to try for them
selves the merits of this wonderful rem
edy, as many spurious and worthless imi-
tations are now on the market, and a
practical test is the best way to demon
strate to the public that COKE DAN

DR.. Burns Of this city. He makes
the following statement:
A valuable mare driven by Supt
Lyman of the Con. Virginia Mine
ON the Comstock Lode, has been in
the stable unable to work from the
kick of another animal. received on
the inside of the right fore leg above
the knee. The skin had been broken
and the muscles aud tendons severly
bruised. During weeks time l
had given the limb such treatment
as, from thirty years professional ex-
perience, | thought beneficial; but
without avail The leg was swollen
to nearly twice its natural size, and
the swelling would not yield to treat
ment On Thursday evening, June
Is, 1896, | made the first applica-
ton of the liniment Trib, throughly
in half of six ounce bottle
over the whole leg. | applied it reg
ularly twice day for the next
three days. On the fourth day the
mare went to work, completely cured
the most surprising and satisfac-
tory cure coming under my observa-
ton during a lifetime devoted to the
treatment of horses.
That was several years ago. ] have
since then used this liniment reg
ularly in my practice. Trib ful6lls
all it promises.
An especially valuable feature of
Trib is that, while it has all pene-
trating strength of the the most
powerful liniments, it does not
blister.
For love of the horse, and the fell
lowship of horsemen, l offer tais
testimony. know that Trib will
benefit both.

Band of Mountain Sheep.

Cripple Creek Press: There is
quite large focko mountain sheep
in the Pixies Peak region. During
the winter they stay ON the west side
of the eastern enterance to the tun-
mel where there is good shelter and
plenty of feed. When. summer
comes they migrate to the east side
along the line of the Cog railroad.
One of their favorite haunts is Sheep
Mountain where salt spring is loc-
ated. Upon the top of the mountain
the grass grown high and they bed
there nearly every night during the
summer, grazing around the neigh
borhood during the day. Owing
to the fact that the law has been re-
spected this flock of mountain sheep
on the increase for several years, up
wards of thirty have been counted,
They have grown so tame that they
have been approached near enough
to photograph upon one or two oc-
casions. These creatures are fre-
quently seen by tourists ascending
Pixies Peaks on the Cog railroad,
and great is the grief Expressed if a
trip is made without view of these
interesting animals being obtained.
tits to be sincerely hoped that the
report is not true that several of
these animals have been shot-or
even shot at-by tourists. But at
any rate the report should be einvesti-
gated, and if found to be true the
guilty parties should be severely
punished.
