had been working there several
months. The spring roundup
is now in force in that country
and a gang of COW boys who
were riding the range came up
to the Erwin ranch and insisted
on branding some of Mr.. Err
wins cattle. AS Jim had the
cattle in his charge he objected
seriously, which led to a row
with the COW boys. Before the
row was over the COW boys shot
Jim four times in the breast.
His sisters in this city received

it was not thought he could

Reception.

Tie reception given last
evening by Mesdames Hills,
Sims, Rockwell and B. w. Car
Isle at the home of Mrs. Hills,
corner of Seventh and Huron
streets, was a very elegant
affair and was attended by
about one hundred and twenty
of their lady friends. The
guests entered at the north
hallway. Miss Ruth Carlisle
and Miss Ruth McGavren did
service at the door and ushered
the guests into the north parlor
where the receiving party
stood. Ruth Carlisle was
gowned in white with pale blue
ribbons. Ruth McGavren wore
a white dress set off with pink
ribbons. The decorations of
the various rooms were very
artistic and entirely original,
not a hint of the conventional
style. Roses, peonies, Japonicas
and asparagus were used in
great profusion. Possibly one
of the happiest thoughts was
the arrangement in the front
vestibule, which was converted
into a bower of greenery in
which the punch bowl stood,
Mrs. Emma Harris Russell pre-
siding. The festooning over
doorWays and arches was par
ticularly effective. Numerous
lighted tapers added to the
pleasing effect. During the
entire evening choice selections
were given by Stoves orches-
ira.
The dining room where the
guests were served with re-
freshments was very pretty. A
large epergne of cut glass filled
with pink roses stood in center
of the table; on either end were
oval boats with Japonicas sur
rounded with their deep green
leaves. Mesdames Lahman,
Grabill and P. 3. Robinson in
turn presided at the coffee urn.
Misses Mckay, Bessie Fensler,
Owens, Lottie McGavrcrl, Har-
mon, Baker and Della Harris
served the guests. Mrs. Foss
and Mrs. w. H. Fensler con
Quoted the guests to the dining
room, The entire function was
very delightful and free from
any of the stiffness which SO
often is a feature in receptions.
Every one chatted and had a
very merry time. The weather
man was in league with the
entertainers, and so was the
man in the moon, who smiled
most benignly all the evening
and lighted the ladies home
Everything from refreshments
to weather was perfect and the
loneliness of the gowns worn
by the guests was by no means
a small feature in the prettiness
of it all.

The United States District
Court, before whom the coal
combination cases in Pennsyl-

week that the coal companies
could not be compelled to pro-
duce their contracts showing
whether there was a combina-
ton or not. Of course, what
90 the trusts pay judges for if
it is not for decisions in their
favor. 1t is just such decisions
by United States courts that
make anarchists in this coun-
try. The people believe now
that a large number of United
States Judges are owned by
the trusts, and when they get
to believing it strong enough
they will do away with the
courts and take the matter in
their own hands.

Il want to notify you that 1
have sent to Chicago for ten
pounds of poison. When l get
it will give you something to
growl about. All the dogs in
town being dead, would just
as soon kill a democrat as a dog
and you in particular.
