THE BLACK DAG0."
An Italian at Ibex, Near LeadvilIe.
Made Anarchistic Remarks
and Came Near Getting
Himself Lynched.

Leadville, Sept. 20, I9oI.--J John
Talien, an Italian miner at 1bex,
made the remark in the PRESENCE OF
his fellow workmen that "All presi.
dents, queens, rulers, etc, should
be killed, and that it was good
thing that Mckinley was shot"
He also used profane and vile Lam
guage in speaking OF the martyred
president. He is known among
his fellow workmen as "The Black
Dago" and can talk English huent>
ly. When this news reached the
ears of the men at hex great indig>
nation was expressed and some
were for the cabin at once and ex>
ecuting summary justice. Cooler
counsels, however, prevailed, and it
was decided with that splendid spir-
it of fair play which characterizes
the people of this country to find
out the exact truth Of the charges.
Then if the man were guilty he
would be properly punished.
A committee was named and they
waited upon him and found out
that the words he had uttered were
true. He was given "a hours to
get his belongings together and get
out of Lake county.

Sample Alfalfa Farm.

AS an instance of the importance OF
alfalfa as a money producing crop, we
wish to cite the case of h. 81. Dresser,
who lives just above town on the road to
Ouray.
Mr.. Dresser has about 30 acres Of
land in alfalfa and does little else but
look after that crop, so that his returns
may be taken as fair sample of the al
falfa yield and value.
Mr.. Dresser, with his SO acres in alfal-
ia, hires very little help and does most
of the work himself In fact, he got in
the entire third cutting with no help at
all. The first cutting brought in little
over ITO tons Of fine hay. The second
cut yielded 60 tons and the third pro-
duced about 80 tons, all fine hay. This
makes total yield of 2OO tons, maybe a
little more, which during the winter will
average over 81 to the ton, which brings
in the neat return OF 3l4OO for alfalfa
alone.
The work Mr.. Dresser does with very
little help, and finds time to garden.
raise pigs, and chickens and some fruit
as well, with occasionally a nice horse
for sale, makes good return for the la
Dor of one man. OF course it takes work,
and those who know Dresser know he
works, but the returns amply repay the
work .-Montrose Enterprise.

Alaska Newspapers.

John G. Broemser, head clerk In Sam
pliner's clothing store. received bundle
OF Alaska newspapers from his brother
who is in business at Skagway. The
latest date on them is September 1lth,
thus showing that ono can make the trip
to the frozen north in rather quick time
now. One OF the papers contained a full
account OF the shooting Of Mckinley.
The Daily Klondike Nugget, published
at Dawson, told OF the hanging of Geo.
O'Brisn, a noted desperate, who commit
ted foul murder in that city on Christ
mas Day, 1899. O'Brien was hung on
the morning of Friday, August 23rd, and
the Nugget, in speaking of the hanging,
said: "At 7:35 this morni q the trap
was sprung which launched George
O'Brien into eternity. The condemned
man maintained his innocence to the
last, and went to his death oursing all
who had any part in his trial or execu-
tion."
The Nugget is a six-column folio and
the entire four pages were devoted to the
crime of O'Brien. He was accused Of
numbering three mon. He lay in wait
for his victims along q tra6 and killed
them as they came along.
The papers also contain many items OF
interest Of that famous gold country.

The Original Elk.

Editor Goodwin of the Salt Lake Tri-
bune has hunted up the origin Of the
Elk, and in long editorial tells the fol-
lowing story, which is timely as the big
Elk Carnival is now on in that city:
The elk. it seems, was a native OF Ire
land. He may have originally existed
10 other countries, but he surely did in
Ireland. and he was great chap. Nat
ural Science tells US that he must have
been a most impressive looking speci-
men; that "the Irish elk was a magnif-
cent and imposing animal. Its antlers
wore often ten feet long and spread from
tip to tip = distance Of from nine to
twelve feet" 1t tells, too, how his exist
ence there is made clear to common men.
In substance it is this way: Originally
there was great lake. 1t covered .
great part Of Europe, for at that time
Great Bsitain had not been detached
from the continent. The lake was sur
rounded by forests Of pine, birch and
willow. Reindeer and elk betake thsm-
selves to the water in summer. They
sink into its miry depths and perish.
Centuries pass; the lake grows more
shallow and the climate softens, and in
some CONFUSION Great Britain is de-
tached from tho continent We cannot
fix the period Of the Irish ok there, but
it must have been 5000 and probably
16, 1000 years. 1t will thus bs seen that
the elk 10 of most ancient and honorable
lineage. He was pioneer, sure enough;
he carried himself with grace and
statsliness which all modern elks should
seek to initiate; he never drank anything
but water, and the footsteps that he left
on the sands OF time were proof Of his

Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural free mail delivery will come
with free delivery In this city it ID
thought. Two routes, one east and one
west, have been mapped out by Post
master Edwin Price and others inter
ested. A government inspector will be
here in few days to go over these routes
and then it will be decided just what
can be done.
Free rural mail delivery would be a
great thing for the fruit growers and
farmers living In Mesa county. They
could keep in touch with the markets
each day, with such a system. Surely
things are advancing in the west whom
a people of county can get their mail
delivered at their door daily. 1t 10
through tho hard and persistent work Of
Postmaster Price that free delivery Of
mail has been brought about for the
residents OF this city and county.

Roosevelt and Irrigation.

The reclamation OF the arid lands Of
the Trans Missouri west is not a partisan
question, having been indorsed by the
platform Of both tho great national po
litioal parties In the obtaining OF gov
ernment aid for storage reservoirs the
trouble will be TO get lngressmen, re-
gardless Of party division, to comply
with their platform pledges.
In this view Of the situation the posi-
ton of the national executive becomes a
matter of pine importance. since very
many congressman are anxious to stand
in with the policy OF the administration.
President Roosevelt knows more about
the Transmissouri region than any other
man who ever came to the presidential
chair. His letter to the president Of
the National irrigation congress at it's
Chicago session, written on November
IL, 1900, just after his election to the
vice presidency, was a vigorous and
hearty Endorsement of the storage reser-
voir movement and also of forest preser-
walton.
ooho'o w 1ho ia5t Poins, no "tisoos
sin the vital necessity OF storing the
foods and preserving the forests, espe
cially throughout the plains and Rocky
mountain regions. The problem of the
development Of the greater west is in
large part a problem Of irrigation. 1
earnestly believe In the national govern
ment giving generous aid to the move
ment."
1t is not too much to expect that in
his first meesale to congress- President
Roosevelt will give his approval to a
storage reservoir policy, and will lend
the influence OF his administration to-
ward the passage OF such measure

completed in every detall within four
weeks at the outset. That means that
the track will be ready for racing by
June 15 though the actual sport will not
begin until the end Of the month.
Mr.. King stated last night that he was
DESTROYS of having the track completed
by the middle of next month so that the
riders who will race here can have a
chance to familiarize themselves with
the track and at the same time get into
racing form while they are becoming
altitudinated. He said that while Butte
, offers the finest kind Of climate for
'bicyclists or in fact any athletes. it will
require week or two Of regular work
| before the men become thoroughly ac-
climated.
AS the program is now arranged Butte
twill have 20 days. or rather nights, of
bicycle racing, by electric light. 1t is
expected that the racing will close about
September 10. BY that time it is. certain
/ that Butte will be bicycle crazy.
Captain Angel. who will build the
saucer track in Butte, is thoroughly ex-
Experienced in his business. He built sew
l>eral similar tracks throughout the coun-
try. notable among them being those at
Salt Lake and Los Angeles, Cal. Both
tracks are exceptionally we'll built and
fast. Records have been established on
both. In fact worlds records for bicycles
and motor cycles were frequently lower
ed on the Salt Lake track. Both tracks
are eight laps to the mile so that it can
be seen that the Butte track will at least
be equally as fast.

GENERAL SPORTING GOSSIP

kid" Parker, accompanied by his
wife. was in Chicago for short while
last week. Although his stay was brief,
the Kid found sufficient time to de-
clare himself about few matters. which
he, in his egotisnl. imagines the sport
ing fraternity will swallow. A part Of
what the kid" said was all right but
: 1t would have been better to have left
the rest unsaid.
" Parker stated that he hal planned an
Interesting trip which would take him
to England. He said he contemplated
spending two weeks in Buffalo, taking
! in the pam American. and possibly a
week in New York before sailing for
| the old world. All of that is Of course
all right. But the question arises, what
will the kid do in England?
Parker answers by saying that he
has nothing definite in sight but that
he will be able to make expenses by en-
gaging in one or two mix ups" with
England's fistic products. Perhaps he
will. but it hardly seems probable that
a pug as obscure as Parker. can hope
to be a drawing card on the other side.
OF course there is this to be taken into
consideration that there are few OF them
across the pond who amount to great
deal when it comes down to it. The
sports, however. know a pretty good bit
i about who is. and who Is not. in 1t. on
| this side and as they in all probability
never heard of Parker they can not be
| expected to enthuse over him. Parker

ants will include the best of the coun-
try. Mr.. King says it is the intention to
have the best riders at any cost. The
sport. he says. being new in Butte. can
get frmer foothold when it is of the
highest order. His intention. he says. is
not to run a lot of novice races but a
series Of first-class scratch and handicap
events. AS an evidence of what sort
Of an inducement he intends offering
to catch the best riders, he will hang up
an average of $500 in prizes each week.
The prizes will be particularly desirable
because they will be cash.
AS was previously stated the racing
will be under the rules of the National
cycling Association. The officials of the
track will all be competent men and
members of the National Association so
that clean. honest sport. such as the AS
ISOLATION demands. will be a sure thing.
Among the crack cyclists who have
already signified their intention of riding
at the coming meet are:
John Lawson, the Terrible Swede;
liver Lawson, his younger brother, who
is said to be much faster rider; the
Turville brothers. last years motor
cycle record breakers: Chapman. Green.

HERRERA TRAINING FOR HIS
FIGHT WITH McG0YERN.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

San Jose. May 11.-Aurrelia Herrera,
accompanied by his brother, Tim Nc
Grath, the veteran trainer, and Harry
Slater, his sparrinS partner is settling
down to the continual grind of life in
training quarters preparatory to meeting
McGovern.
The gymnasium formerly used by the
Trinble brothers is being retitted to suit
the Kern county wonders ideas ana
hard road work has already been begun.
Herrera's daily work will consist of a
run to Alum Rock Park and return, fast
work with the mits with Slater and Who
ever comes and expresses a Willingness
to become target for Aurrelia's fast
jabs and crosses, and wrestling with his
torther.
McGrath has acquired far more conf
dence in his protege after having seen
him tried out. and is eloquent of the
young mans abilities. He says that
while Frisco sports are not quoting
Herrera stock very high just at present
it is because they do not know the
young phenom. Herrera put Tommy Cox
to sleep in the brief space Of time allot-
ted to eight rounds, which seemed long
enough to Tommy after his dusky op-
ponent had limbered up and begun work.
Irwin met a similar fate. and Solly
Smith was lucky to get off with draws
on the two occasions of his meeting
Herrera in the ring.
Despite the fact that Herrera has been
dubbed the Kern county wonder" he
belongs properly to San Jose. He was
born at Almaden. near this city, twenty
seven years ago. His family moved away
before. Aurrelia could tell a boxing glove
from a pump, however.
