A Rocky Ford Boy In Trouble.

The Denver papers of Saturday con-
tanned the report Of Rocky Ford boys
attempt to blackmail w. S. Cheeseman.
president Of the Union Water Co. Boyd
Irvine had written Mr.. Cheesman letters
threatening to blow up his twin hotels
unless $4,000 was placed for him in a
box in locality designated. The detect
ives arranged plan and easily captured
Boyd. who says, and doubtless truthfully.
that he had no accomplices. Mr.. and
Mrs. W. j. Irvine. the boys parents, are
among our best and most highly esteemed
citizens and the sympathies of the entire
community go out to them in this great
affiiction.
Some months since Mr.. Irvine gave
Boyd ample funds to go to Nevada, but
he did not get out Of the state. Mr.. lr-
vines theory is that in Denver he fell into
bad company and was induced to squan-
der his money. He has since written for
money several times and it has been
sent to him. all Of which has doubtless
been worse than wasted. So many calls
were made for money that Mr.. Irvine
was compelled to decline to send more,
and Boyd then threatened to get into
trouble If not supplied with funds.
For some years Boyd has been afflict-
ed with a spinal trouble which has affect
ed his mind and portion of his late
waywardness may be attributed TO that
CAUSE

Having Been Made.

Iron posts which have becn planted in
various portions Of the city arc tho first
visible indication Of Rocky Fords early

delivery. On these posts on Sunday will
be placed the boxes for the reception Of
mail. Thirteen boxes will be provided.
Five will be placed on each side Of Main
street, and the others at tho FL Captain.

In making deliveries tho carriers. Geo.
F. West and Geo. W. Edwards. will
loaye the postoftiee at lo:5o a. m. and
return at ll:5o In the afternoon they
will leave the office at lao and return at
4:5o. On these trips they will get mail
from the boxes and also take such as
may be handed them where they call to
make deliveries.
On Sunday the carriers will be at the
carriers windows for the delivery of mail
from lo:5o to 1880. Collections from
the boxes on Sunday will be made only
between ll:5o and noon.
Fer a time there will doubtless be some
tangle in regard to the use Of stamps by
our home people. At the present rural
delivery letters must have a two-cent
stamp, and after Sunday. next, all letters
which are to be delivered by carrier
must have q two-eent stamp. Hence. it
will become tho duty of merchants in
sending out monthly statements to use
some discrimination in the size of stamps
used. All letters on which are street
numbers will be delivered by the carrier
and must have two-cent stamp. 1t
may take little time to get this new
feature Of the system in smooth working

A Miniature Cyclone.

What was uncomfortably near a cy-
clone visited Grand Valley last Saturday.
1t was an exaggerated specimen of the
small whrlwinds which are frequently
seen in the summer. which raise such a
dust and carry waste paper, weeds, etc.,
high in the air This whrlwind had a
diameter of about 40 feet and stable of
MIR. Badgers which stood in its path
Jared badly. 1t was demolished and two
inch timbers snapped in two. Posts
which had been firmly in the ground for
several years were lifted out. The path
of the twister was sharply defined, as a
much more frail structure almost ad-
joining the stable was unhurt. Mr.. Bad
ger thinks this near enough cyclone ex-
80 aonce without moving to Kansas or
Nob-aska to see the real article.

Our New Coal Mine.

H. C. Brannon is not afraid of giving an
opportunity for testing the coal from his
new mine, so miles south. A few days
since he brought the Enterprise household
a sample lot and it has been given fair
trial in the kitchen range. 1t burns freely,
is fully consumed, makes a white ash and
leaves no clinkers. We have no doubt
but that the mine is destined to prove of
much value to the Rocky Ford country.
The mine is just beginning to be developed
and the coal will be of a higher grade as
the depth increases.

BIG FIRE IN JENNINGS.
SIX Houses and Rock Island Depot Go Up
in Smoke.


Fire started in the town Of Jennings
s. miles east Of Goodland, Friday even
ing at about six o'clock, and burned to
the ground six houses and the Rock
Island depot building. The wind vas
blowing gale and all efforts to fight the
fire successfully were futile. Sparks
from the chimney of house started q
blaze on an adjoining residence, and it
was not discovered until too late.
Jennings has 10 water works syStem,
and the wells and bucket brigade were
brought into lively play. Train No. So
local freight, which left here at 1.35 il
the afternoon, pulled by engine 1853,
Engineer Shaw and Conductor Melon
aid, arrived at Jennings shortly after
the fire started. There is a long siding
at Jennings and when the trainmen had
laid out the train at a safe place they
proceeded to pull out the cars on the
house track and put them out on the
siding, thereby saving large amount of
property, estimated at 81, 900, belong
ing TO the Rock Island.
The wind was blowing lfrOm the south
about 30 miles an hour, and large FIRE
brands were blown toward the depot
and even set FIRE to the grass on the north
side Of the track. The depot building
caught FIRE several times and the flames
were extiDguished.
The freight was delayed four hours
and passenger train No. ~ was also laid
out for couple Of hours. The IRE was
supposed 20 be under control, and relief
crews organized to proceed to Jennings
were wired not to come.
About four o'clock the next morning
fire started in the depot building which
soon burned it down. It is supposed
that there was a smOuldering heap Of
rubbish under the platform If the
freight room, and when all danger was
thought to be past the fire was started
that destroyed all the depot buildings.
