MOHAWK OWNERS.
They Visit Their Property and are Well
Pleasod-Think 1t far Better Than
Represented-w Will Certainly Develop
it the Coming Summer.

Prof. j. d. Parish, president of
the Upper Platte Gold Mining
Company and John T. Evans, sec
rotary of the company, have been
here the past week, looking over
the recent purchase of the No
hawk, which is a private venture
of the Professor and two or three
other friends, including Mr.. Ev-
ans and ID. G. Kitch, the latter al
SO of Chicago.
They paid a visit to the proper
ty Saturday and returned very
much pleased with the prospect.
They left for home on Mondays
stage and will stop in Denver TO
look over suitable machinery for
the development of the mine and
see what will be the earliest date
it raj be placed on the ground at
the mine. Prof. Parish took a
sack of ore from the claim home
with him for assaying purposes
and it will be subjected to every
known test to determine its exact
value. He nov has assays from
the claim which run as high as
1890.
Judging from the way these
gentlemen felt about the claim we
should not be at all surprised to
see them out here again shortly
for the purpose of starting the
work of development on the Mo-
hawk in person.

A Kindly Remembrance

The Sun has many warm friends
scattered here and there over the
country, but none more loyal and
faithful than G. f. Jones. of Can
tebury, n. H. Every year there
comes from him a kindly iemem-
brance in the way of a bucket of
maple sugar, fresh from the sugar
orchard Of that gentleman. Mr..
Jones is well known to many of
our people, who carry in their
minds the pleasant recollection of
a large hearted, broad minded man,
who formerly conducted the af-
fairs of the Pass Greek Ranch Co,
so successfully in this valley.
Large in heart as well as large in
body! May his shadow never
grow less.

TERRIBLE FOREST FIRE.
Of Acres Of Timber Being Con-
sumed on Timber Mountain, About 10
Miles Northeast Of Saratoga The Gov
eminent to Investigate the Cause Of its
Origin.

Last Sunday afternoon, the for
est FIRE on Timber mountain, ten
miles northeast of this place,
which had been slumbering for
the past ten days, broke out afresh
and since that time a terrible fire
has been raging on the mountain
AT this time it is clear over on the
eastern slope of the mountain and
has widened out until its front is
from five to ten miles in width.
1t has destroyed a very large
amount of timber, having burn
ed over at least a township in ex-
tent.
Word came in Yesterday from
the scene of the fire that the build
ings of the Cumberland mine had
been consumed. This was to be
expected, as they we're right in
the path of the fire.
A telegram was sent to Con-
gresham Mondell Sunday night
and another Monday afternoon
and there is 10 doubt but what he
will make an effort to get an APP
preparation to have the fire put
out.
Word comes that IA fire broke
out Monday on Independence
mountain which threatens to be-
come "a very serious matter for the
forests in that vicinity.
The weather is extremely dry
and has been so far for the past
month. The sky is like molten
brass and the earth is parched
and brown and a fire would run
through almost anything with the
high winds that now prevail.

go rapidly forward from this time
on. The poles are now being set
in position over the town and the
company say they will have the
town lighted within three weeks.

Details Of a Pleasant Trip,

Mr.. and Mrs. Amos. Baggo;t re-
turned home from a delightful
trip into the upper country last
Wednesday, after an absence of
nearly three weeks. They visited
the "Baggott RANCH on Encamp-
ment river, which they lease, to l.
Lebow, for several days and were
greatly pleased at getting back to
their old home once more and en-.
joyed the trout fishing, riding over
the ranch, and the music which
makes this home such a pleasant
place.
Their next stopping place was
at the ranch of Mrs. James Parr
where they spent a jolly week,
and Mr.. Baggott certainly enjoyed
the romping with the II young
PARIS very much to hear him tell
his experience. Here they were
kept well supplied with fresh
trout by the boys, and on
one memorable evening TWEEN
ty-one trout we're cooked for sup
per and We can safely say ''the
fragments that remained would
not fill twelve baskets"
On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Hol-
comb, of Riverside, ere invited
to spend the day with them, and
their music was much enjoyed by
all. On Monday they babe their
friends goodbye and then left for
Encampment where they attended
the wedding of their two grand
daughters. Mr.. Baggott requests
us TO say they will be up there
again about the End of July, and
then they will visit other friends,
so everyone had better look out!

Big Bunch Of Cattle.

A bunch of cattle, numbering
1900 head, the property of Ora
Haley, were driven through this
place last Friday. They we're be-
ing taken to Mr.. Haley's ranch on
Bear river, Uinta county. The
passage of the herd along Bridge

grade and we also hear that sever
al yard fences, as well as lawns
and trees, suffered from the pas
sage of this herd through the

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Grant Smith Almost Kicked to Death by
a Vicious Horse at the Stables Of Sisson
& orville- Face Badly Crushed but
Will Live.

Last Friday morning at 1910, a
frightful accident occurred at the
stables of Sisson & Orville of this
place whereby Grant Smith came
within an ace of losing his life.
Smith is the owner of a magnifi-
cent black horse that he has had
great difficulty in handling-in
fact the horse was considered to
be an outlaw and dangerous to
work with.
When Smith attempted to har-
ness the animal, preparatory to
starting home, it struck him with
its fore feet, knocking him down
in the stall, and then kicked him
two or three times in the face, rem
dering him unconscious.
When George Anthems, who is
employed at the stable, succeeded
i'll getting the unconscious man
out from under the horse and out
of reach of its heels, it was found
that his face was mashed in a fear
full manner. Medical aid was
called in and the wounded man
was carried to the Waterloo and
placed on a bed. The doctors
mazda m ayo,,;not;o, o,l f.-l
that the under jaw was broken in
three places and the upper jaw al
SO badly crushed. His teeth were
all knocked loose and many of
them. with pieces of the jaw bone
adhereing, were removed. All
that could be done was to bandage
the mans face and await the end
for no one thought it possible for
the man to cover from his in
%juries, he being 7S years of age.
Strange to say Smith, contrary
to all expectation, is rapidly re-
covering. He rests we'll and
drinks easily and is clamorous for
food. He can help himself in and
out of bed and shows a remarkable
vitality for one of his age. DR..
Ellis, who has had charge of the
case from the start, says there is
every eason now to believe the
man will recover, though he will
have lost most of his teeth and
some of both jaw bones.
Smith, who is a resident of Dix
on, had come over to this country
accompanied by c. A. Riskey and
wife for the purpose of doing some
assessment work. At the time of
the accident Riskey and his wife
were on their way back to Dixon,
having started out ahead of Smith.
A messenger was sent for them
and they returned and after doing
all they could for Smith, took his
team and again started for Dixon.
Smith had remarked to a friend
just previous to the accident that
he believed he now had the horse
conquered, as it had not done any
thing vicious for several months.

IS HE A MURDERER?
Joseph Williams, Half Breed,
Thought to Be in Minneapolis.
OFFICERS ARE ON THE HUNT
Mother and Sister Of Man Found
Dead at Home Shortly After
Williams Leaves.

Joseph Williams, a half-breed Indian
from Oakes, Mimi, a town on the White
Earth Indian reservation, is being sought
by the officers from White Earth, who
wish to question him concerning the sup
posed murder Of his mother and sister,
who were found dead at their home a few
hours after Williams left the town. It
is believed that the fugitive is in the
twin cities and officers are searching both
cities for him.
The bodies were found yesterday NOR
ming, shortly after Williams had started
for Minneapolis on Northern Pacific
train. The remains Of the mother were
found in the house with a bullet hole
through the head, while those of the girl
were found in the barn, literally hacked
to pieces. By the side of the dead girl
was found a bloody ak, with which the
crime had evidently been committed. The
officers think that the mother was shot
and that the girl was pursued to the barn,
where she was killed with an ak.
No motive for the crime can be as
signed. Williams is suspected of having
knowledge of the crime, because the
woman must have been dead when he
left for Minneapolis.
Earth, and his son, C. A. Rogers, relatives
Of the murdered women, came to the city
last night, and, in company with local
detectives, secured the town in search for
the fugitive. Several times they found
traces Of him. but he eluded them and
has not yet been found.
