THE FARMS ON OCTOBER MOUNTAIN.
Instead of having one head farm where
everything is conferred. Mr.. Whitney has
left the little farms jus. as he bought them.
and in most cases the original owners are
living In them now as his tenants and en-
ployes. The farms are connected with a
private telephone system and nfty-five men
are employed on them. Each year about
100 tons of hay has been cut. but all OF this
has been fed to the animals and nearly
nifty additional tons have been bought 10
feed the horses and cows. The domestic
animals form but small feature OF the
estate, and this number Is limited. but
time will probably increase them as the
estate grows and Is made more perfect
They hay is now the only crop which
amounts 20 anything. and the enormous
barn for IL at the home farm Is another
example OF the millionarie's way OF do"
Ing things. Last year the hay crop was
larger than had been expected. anc IL was
seen that a new barn must be built % store
H. Again the twenty day order was issued.
and this time IL was executed and the hay
stored In safety. Charles II. Parsons Is
In charge OF the farms and. In fact OF the
whole estate. he Is the superintendent
His work is enormous. he has 10 visit
all the different places each day and be
responsible TO Mr.. Whitney for everything.
All biffs are sent to him, and none are paid
unless approved by him. He has the pay
rolls, amounting TO 600 a month. and has
absolute power over the men. Under his
care are the twenty-four houses and thirty
barns on the estate. besides the October
mountain house and stable.
Away down In the southern part OF the
estate Is the Grossctt farm, where the
fiocks OF goats and sheep are kept The
goats all Angoras and beautiful with
their long, silk-like hair. No one but Mr..
Whitney knows why they are there or
what good they are. for they are seldom
seen. There are sixty-fye goats in the
flock now. and they simply run around
and butt each other for lack OF something
better TO do. On this same farm il the big
flock OF 226 sheep. another bunch OF ant
mails with no particular excuse for being
there. They are just sheep with not even
an ancestral tree, and beyond the few
which have furnished mutton for the NIL
lionsire they have done nothing. October
mountain Is yet crude. but the promise Is
there and enough has been done TO give a
slight forecast OF what viii follow. And
on some future day. when the stranger
comes to October mountain over the tops OF
the blue Berkshire hills. he win see a coun-

keep them in captivity. They fly and
all about the outside of the fence now,
but three times a day they come in so as TO
ceops in hai the pheasantry. and If IL had not
been poor year for raising the young
birds there would have been many more.
This is the first season that such a large
number of pheasants has been raised but
an even greater number will be brought
up next year. None have been shot on the
estate as yet and 1T is not probable that
this year. IL seems to be his idea to thor
oughly stock the woods before any shooting
is INDUCED in, and besides IL IL an awful
lot of work to chase bird through the
woods. 1t is much easier to sit on ones
front doorsteps and break clay pigeons
and have man in top boots load your
gun for you. This is the popular shooting
at october mountain now. Many part
ridges and quail are TO be seen about the
place. and all over the estate tiny fields
of buckwheat have been planted and the
grain will be allowed to drop its black
seeds on the ground for the birds. so that
they can have plenty to eat in the fall.
and they will be fed by the gamekeepers
through all the long winter.
BELGIAN HARES RUN WILD
Two years ago, in the height of the Bel
gian hare craze Mr.. Whitney laid in a
stock of these long-eared innocents. and
they have increased and multiplied as only
rabbits can. At first they were kept in a
warren on the southern slope OF October
mountain but soon they became so pIenti-
full that most of them were given their
freedom and the woods and fields are now
full of them. In year so they will
be thick the hares are In an English
park. and hare hunting will be one of the
popular sports. Large numbers OF quail
were also liberated. and they increa sed

STRIKERS USE DYNAMITE.
House Of a Special Officer Badly Dam
AGED by Explosion.

Hazleton, Pa, June 15.-The home
of James Apologize, at West Halle
ton, was badly shattered early today
by an explosion Of dynamite, which
had been placed near the side of the
building. The family escaped injury.
Apologize has been employed as a
special officer of the Cranberry COLI
cry since the strike went into effect.
Frank Pardee, superintendent Of the
Cranberry colliery, has offered a re-
ward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of. the dynamiters. He says
~bloodhounds will be brought here to
assist the police in running down the
guilty parties.
Apologize, while returning from the
Cranberry colliery. whittier he had
gone to report off the day or account
of the explosion and the consequent
shock to himself and family, was held
up by two men and relieved of his re-
|volver. He made no resistance, as
four other armed men stood close by,
ready to assist if necessary in over
towering him. Apologize knows the
men, and they will be arrested.
Mrs. Apologize says she was told by
a West Hazleton man that IA houses
would be dynamited if the men occu
plying them did not stop working at
surrounding mines. Policemen r now
looking fer the person who is alleged
to have made this threat.

In block 40, bounded by Third and
Fourth avenues, north, and Thirty.
third and Thirthy-fourth streets, are
six lots over which considerable dis
pute is said to exist. AS near al can
be learned several parties claim them,
holding title to them by virtue Of tax

who claim to own the lots r Austin
North and Henry White. The latter
is in possession of them now and
North has instituted suit to GUST him.
He began his action this morning,
through Hathhorn & Berry.
In his complaint North alleges that
on March Z, 1901, he vas in possession
as owner in fee and entitled. to such
holding of the lots, which are mum
bered 16, II, IS, 10, 20 and 21; that
while so possessed and entitled the de-
PENDANT, on the date named, ousted

right or title. Therefore he demands
judgment for possession and $3.50
damages and all costs of court.

FRYING NEW STOCK.
Southern Utah Cattle Shipped Into
Judith Basin.

Judith Basin.
The Judith Mercantile and Cattle
company has decided upon an expert
ment which will no doubt be watched
with considerable interest by cattle
men all over the state. The company
received two trains of southern Utah
steers last week and started to trail
them to it's range at the mouth of the
Judith.
The cattle were originally loaded at
Milford, but shipped no further than
Pocattello, where they were unloaded
and grazed on the Fort Hall Indian
reservation. The reservation having
been opened to settlement the COM
pany was obliged to transfer them and
concluded to bring them onto it's own
range. .
. It is said that steers of that class
can be bought for SIS or Sc per head
less than eastern Oregon animals of
the same, g Should the company's
experiment prove successful undoubt-
eddy southern Utah will hereafter be
called upon to a larger extent to sup
ply stock for the Montana ranges.

Dave ze~arfoss, 1utte's Catcher.

m" #|H" fE -
Butte Miner: Dave Zearfoss, Butte's
heady and clever catcher, is one of
the best men behind the bat in the
west, and his work during the season
has been almost phenomenal. His
throwing to bases is so sure that few
of the players who oppose him attempt
the second bag. He is also noted for
his catching of foul flies. He goes
after every ball knocked in the air
in his territory, and he is sure. He
has made some remarkable cathces
against the grandstand fence during
the home games. He is a good hitter,
keeps his men full of ginger and is
in the game every minute and never
loses his head. He is a great help to
a pitcher and can control the widest
twirler.

His alleged onense consists Of selling
mortgaged property, horses and cat
tie. In addition he is also accused
Of having mortgaged property not his
own. Mr.. Hoffman will leave with
his prisoner tomorrow morning.
Through his attorney, ]. r. Goss,
C. F. Tomlinson has begun suit In
Judge Mann's court against the North
ern Pacific Railroad company to re-
cover the value of two colts alleged to
have been killed by trains Of the de-
PENDANT. One Of the animals is said
to have been run over on or about
June 9, 1901, and the other on or
about March IA, 1902 The first n
killed is said to have had a value of
$3.50 and the second a value OF $75.
Both accidents occurred near Laurel,
the plaintiff claims, through the negli-
gence of the defendant in not keeping
it's track properly fenced at that point.
The Sisters of st. Vincent's hospital
have decided upon an innovation
which will undoubtedly prove popular
with those for whose special benefit
it has been introduced. They have es-
tablished a c~ontributory list, subscrib-
ers to which upon the payment of q
monthly contribution of 81 will be en-
titled to hospital accommodations, in
GLIDING medical attendance and medi-
cines. The list is designed particular
ly for the many single men of the COM
munity, who have no other homes than
afforded at hotels and lodging houses,
and who in case of sickness very often
find themselves without proper care
or treatment. Intending subscribers
may leave their dues at either OF the
banks or larger business houses, the
secretary of the labor union or at the
hospital itself.

Whitney to ~foreclose q mechanics lien
on the residence occupied by the de-
PENDANT. Plaintiff alleges that Sep
TENDER IA, 1901, he entered into q
verbal contract with the defendant to
raise the dwelling and add a story,
for which he was to be paid $1,525;
that he did extra work amounting to
$50O.27 and of this amount only $255.59
has been paid and there is now due
him $244.68. To secure payment of
the alleged balance he says he caused
q lien to be executed and filed, cost
ing him $3.50. He demands Judgment
for the unpaid balance, the cost of the
lien and 800 attorneys fees.
The case of State VS.. Solomon Price,
arrested sometime ago for having a
beaver skin and six deer hides in his
possession, was set for 2 o'clock in
Judge Fraser's court today. The de-
PENDANT was on hand and SO also the
county attorney, the latter with a sur
prise for the accused. Under the law
which Price is charged with having
violated the offense alleged against
him is manifestly a felony, and instead
of trying him he was given a prelim-
mary hearing, which is now in prog
ress. Provision is made for punish
ment by a fine, or Imprisonment, eth.
err in the county Jail or the states
prison. The latter clause caused the
prosecution to apply for a preliminary
hearing. instead of a trial, as at first,
when it was supposed only a misde-
meanor had been committed.

Cheap Furniture.

writes thus about it:
Just such advice has been the cause
of more young men going to the wall
than any other one thing, whisky eX-
cepted. Suppose man working for 50

George N. Lawrence Of the American
Ice Co. has the following to say In re-
gard to the ice situation In the State:
Although the recent heavy rains that
have visited this region in the past few
weeks thinned down the Ice, yet the
frozen crystal is of good quality and
from 10 to IL inches in thickness. Pre-
partitions had been begun to harvest a
good crop before the rains set in. Ice
ought to be from IL to- IA inches in
thickness before cutting. If weather
conditions hold good the crop will be-
gin to harvest at the Hodges place.
about mile below Richmond. and at
Boothbay and Wiscasset. Only 1900
tons have been housed in the State this
season. OF course, on the Penobscot
the crop was an utter failure on ac-
count OF the jams. We want to cut at
least a half million tons on the Ken
nebec this season, and intend to fill the
houses to their utmost capacity"
