Expensive Law Practice.

According to the Denver Re.

and Frank Hyatt. deputy sheriff
OF Conej"s county, have gotten
themselves into trouble IN en-
deavoring to regSin n sum Of
money which Mr.. Lee entrusted
to his wife, Emily Lee. Lee WAS
married at Del Norte in 1886.
Some time ago Mr. Lee when sick
gave his wife sGo0 in cash and
some mining stock which she took
with her to Denver later.
In order TO regain this treasure
MIR. Lee. takes the deputy sheriff
to Denver and til. two threatened
to arrest her aud send her 10 tb.
penitentiary unless sh. would give
up 1900 aud the stocks. After
being Imprisoned in the matron's
department = day or two by means
OF threats. she gave up the key to
the safety deposit vault in the
Elui,abl. building anl WAS
allowed her liberty. For these
indisni,i.s Mrs. Lee claims dana.

CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS.

Maydav was the beginning Of
days for the bettermrnt of the
Monte Vista cemetery. The direc-
tors had invited all persons inter-
csted in cemetery improvements to
spend the day on the grounds help
ing to forward the general work
which they have planned and com
menced to carr, out.
The response to the request and
the interest manifested were most
gratifying. During the entire
day from twenty five to fifty per.
sons could he counted on the
ground all busy as bees doing what
seemed most necessary to bc done.
About one hundred cotton. woods
and three hundred grey willows
were donated and planted and
many hardy shrubs and Towering
plants put out on individual lots.
Several lots were graded and
seeded to grass and number of
others prepared for seeding.
The directors provided Il reg
istery book in which the names of
most of the visitors were reg
istcred and list made of the work
done and the trees and shrubs
donated This book will bc kept
for similar entries in the future
and will bc interesting MS showing
who are caring for the Monte
Vista Cemetery.
The interest manifested by those
present was all that could be
desired and the general wish
seemed to be that Mayday of each
year should be set apart for n
continuation of the good work.
The Chapel project was gen.
orally discussed and the opinion
prevailed that the project should
be pushed to completion the com
ing summer.
At the close of the day the
directors met and decided to plant
out two hundred more Cotton
woods and twenty. five cvergrccns
and employed II man to continue
the work of Improvement and keep
the water running to all the lots SO
that the trees and shrubs and flow.
ers planted will bud and blossom.
While there was marked
absence Of \ number Of prominent
Monte Vista lot owners, the city
WAS fairly well representative
Swede Lane was on hand rs usual
for hard and efficient work while

day to bcautifying the last resting
