Woman's Biz Goat Ranch.

Mrs Armour in Sierra County. New
Mexico. OWES a herd of more than 25,Jg
AnSora goats, from which she is max
ing $25, 900 profit year. Her Columbia
Pascha'' is the most valuable AngOra In
America and worth $3.50.
In 1899 she was left a widow, penniless,
and with nine small children dependent
on her for support. The ranchmen ana
miners took compassion on the destitute
family and contributed a small sum for
their immediate relief.
Then she pluckily cast about for some
means of earning living, so that she
might not be a burden on the generosity
of her friends BY chance there drifte
into camp a ranchman with herd OF
30 AnSora goats for sale. Nobody cared
to buy them. for it was thought there
was more money in cattle-raising. With
genuine intuition. Mrs. Armour looked
at their silken coats. and knew that they
would be valuable.
But she hadn't any money and didn I
want to borrow So she made a PROPOSE
ton TO take a small flock of the goats,
tend th<m ard care for them and breed
them. and a: the end of the year divide
the profits with the owner The PROPOSE
ton was accoptea She took her goats
and her children and went up on the
mountainside. 5000 feet above the sea
level, where the scrub-o oaks grow in pro-
fusion. Thus she secured the necessary
fodder and as for shelter, the goats
needed none. She located a claim, built
herself a ranch and settled down t.
work. At the end of a year her success
was such that she had money to buy "A
flock of her own and start out independ-
emily.
Since that time each year has added ia
her prosperity. She now employs TWEEN
ty goatherds to care for her flocks.
The greatest prccaution is required to
protect the goats from the inroads Of
the mountain lions, or cougars. which
are so numerous that the ranchmen
have to organize hunts to get rid of
them.
Through her industry and perseverance
and pluck Mrs Armour has made her
self wealthy She has sent her eldest
son to college. where he is now studying
law, ana her four other children attend
school III Kingston.-Seattle Post Intelli-

is that the life Of partial or complete

Executors AlIese a Conspiracy.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 90
The legal entanglements surrounding
the Stratton estate became more num-
erous and involved as to-day's develop
ments unfolded. The official announce
ment of a S5.OOO.OOO damage suit, that
has been in the hands of counsel for
the Venture corporation of England
against the Stratton estate for alleged
fraudulent representation of the STRAIT
ton Independence mine, and charges of
conspiracy of lawyers to eat up the es-
tate, made in an answer filed by the ex-
ecutors to charges of unsound mind of
w. S. Stratton, preferred by his son in a
petition filed in the County Court, have
made the days developments rarely
sensational.
The answer filed this afternoon
charges that Ex-Governor @. s. Thomas,
of the firm of Thomas, Bryant & Lee
of Denver, is attorney for the admins
traitors to collect, appointed by the
court, and also for certain persons who
intend and have long intended to bring
suit against the Stratton estate, involv-
ing practically the entire estate.
2 The administrators to collect, Black
mer and Hamlin, are declared to be fl
nancally interested in a promotion syn
dicate which is declared to have wrong
fully confederated and entered into con-
tracts with young Stratton by which
they assume all expenses of litigati ton,
guarantee him the $4,000 allowed by
the will and secure the right to involve
the estate in litigation for their own
profit.
