A Terrible Experience.

Inc mystery VI tHo ulshppedT-
ance of Robert Mitchell of Peyton,
from his home ten days ago has
been solved.
The missing ranchman arrived
at his home Wednesday morning
after one of the most awful exper-
fences that ever befell man in
this part of the country, os result
of which it is feared that he will
live but short time. Mitchell
has lost both of his legs and TO
this fact is due to the awful suf-
fering which he has undergone
and is still undergoing and the
probably fatal character of his
present trouble.
He was caught in the tidal wave
of flood water that descended the
valley of the Fountain creek
week ago and was hurled from
his carriage and almost drowned.
He had started from Peyion to 60
to Pueblo to visit the smelter city,
and he started just in time
to get to Buttes when The
food water reached that point in
its mad descent of the Fountain
valley. He happened to he in
the worst possible place that he
could have been in when the water
overlook him. He was fording
the Fountain creek. The wave
decended npon him, towering ten
feet in the air above the creek
bottom and in the twinkling of IN
eye he had been caught and hurled
from his carriage, the horse also
going headlong before the terrible
wave of death. How Mitchell
ever survived the shock of the
first blow of the wave is something
that will never be explained, Grip
pied AS he is and was. But he
got to the surface of the water,
which was nearly three times
deeper than his own height, and
after struggling with death for
several minutes, succeeded in ut
tracing the attention of some men
who were at work near by, they
taking him from the water and
saving his life. Shortly after
ward they rescued his horse also.
After rghting things and resting
up little Mitchell proceeded to
Pueblo, drenched but apparently
not particularly worse off for his
experience.
He remained in Pueblo until
Monday last when he started to
return to his ranch near Peyton.
He was suffering considerably but
did not know that he was in II
serious condition. When he ar
rived home Wednesday morning he
was unable to help himself at all
and was assisted to his bed. Neigh
bors came to him and endeavored to
aid him but he is in intense pain and
the stumps of his legs are said to
be in n gangrenous condition as IL
result of the exposure during his
experience in the food.
His friend Don Dawson, of
Pueblo, was in Colorado Springs
Wednesday night, says the Gazette,
and said that Mitchell would not
likely live long, in fact that he
would not be surprised if his death
were to occur before aid from the
city could reach him. Mr.. Davi-
son says the county should take
the case in hand AS the unfortu-
nate ranchman has neither food
nor any one to attend him.

JUSTICE COURT.

Malinda. the lion tanner. was enjoy ing a late meal and few small bottles at the New England Kitchen, last night, when she suddenly flew into 8 rage and devoured 8 twenty-dollar bill. Sampson, the submissive, who saw his green-b backs served up for desert, at once told his troubles to a policeman. Malinda, a little later, paid her respects to the court, who at once dished out little of his wisdom.
 Matilda, this is most unparallele ] coincident, one that in all my broad and diversified experience upon the throne of justice not 10 my knowedge been equsled. Think of it. Who ever dreamed of deliberately devouring a twenty-dollar bill? Forty dollars in Mexican money at one square meal"' And the judge, to all appearances, was losing his mind
 "Shylock demanded 6 pound of that same merchants flesh, to be cut near est his heart, and even this same de- mand was denied him: but you ate four pounds of that miners money at one square meal, Malinda. Are you mad? Te think of devilishly, diabol- ically and deliberately; fearlessly, iraudulently and ioolishly: maliciously, miraculously and mischievously, when moneys hard and times are scarce, to feed upon twenty-dollar bills. Oh, Malinda" And it was observed that that the judge was deeply moved. 'Why, Malinda, have you behaved thusly? To think of serving rp a twenty dollar bill, and publicly grow. ing frt upon it. Why did you not go against a beef steak? should much prefer to choke than to feed upon a twenty-dollar bill. There is no pun ishment commensurate with so ter rible crime. Go from my sight, Ma linda: go, ut hereafter adopt a less expensive dish. Think of it. Eating a twenty-dollar billr'

 Bob, the opera house advertiser, came into the New England Kitchen last night all logged out. He was just going to tell big burly Tom cat some- thing about Uncle Josh Spruceby when Tom stuck up his back and spat square in Bob's face. A terrible ruction fol. lowed, in which Bob scattered his con- plimentary tickets all over the hoor Toms tail was as big as tent pole in a a jiffy. First Tom was on top, then Bob. and they resembled somewhat 6 passingstreak of greased lightning. Bob finally cornered his man,and compelled him to buy several reserved seats on the roof.

 Several sacks of potatoes were seen walking out the back door of the Opera Club restaurant when the pro- p,ietor became little nervous about being short in the morning. If it had been butter or cheese little notice would have been taken, but being potatoes it was different.
 Several of the boarders grabbed hold of the sack and after c6nsiderable squabblihg Mexican was found under the sack. Of course when the Mexi- can let go the potatoes stopped. The Mexican has decided to accept for the potato diet bread and water and for his head St. Jacobs oil.

Artificial Leather.

Fibroleum, new artificial leather
has just been invented by French
man. 1t consists of pieces of refuse
skins and hides, cut exceedingly small
which are put into a vat filed with m
intensely alkaline solution. After the
mass has become pulpy it is taken out
of the vat, placed in specially con
structed machine and after undergo
ing treatment therein is again taken
out and put through paper-making
machine. The resulting paper-liko
substance is cut into large sheets
which are laid one upon another, II
lots of from 100 to 1000, and put into
hydraulic press to remove all moist
ure. The article is strong and pliable
and can be pressed or nodded into all
kinds of shapes and patterns. 1t IS

article speak of it in the highest terms.

A Wholesome Dish.

To make a plain salad, first of I'll
mix the vegetables, well washed. with
plenty of oil. Then mix in table
spoonful OF oil with a little vinegar, a
few drops of Worcestershire sauce,
salt, pepper and very little mustard.
These are to be rubbed together in a
spoon and the whole added to the
vegetables in the bowl, repeating the
operation until the salad is well satu-
rated. The salad should be allowed
to stand for a time in order that the
oil and other ingredients may be incor-
porated with the vegetables. Thus
made, salad is healthful dish, much
improved by the addition of a few
slices of tomato similarly treated. To
make salad properly you should Do

Stale Bread and New.

writer alleges that ut need not be So
New bread contains vastly more water
