SITUATION AT oURAY.

Last Saturday afternoon the new
editor, Wood, of the Ouray Times
who has been stirring up trouble at
Ouray for the last three weeks, swore
out a complaint against five gamblers
in that city, three of the complaints
included saloon keepers. Said COM
plants were for running gambling
games and allowing the same to be
run in different saloons.
Those arrested all gave the neces-
sary bonds and things went along
without any change until yesterday
afternoon when the proprietors of the
houses and games closed the games of
their own accord and removed all of
their paraphernalia.
Yesterday afternoon Editor Wood,
who is somewhat of a fiend for gamb-
ling and everything that goes with
it, himself went into Ed. Omland s
saloon to SPY around and incidentally
bought drink Omland was not in
his place at the time, but carue in as
Wood was leaving and took occasion
to put II head on Wool for cause.
Omland later paid fine of s. and
costs and today the Troublesome editor
is wearing his face and ewes tied up
i'll a rag. Telluride Journal.

of the passenger trains. Our mail

time train No. 81 is running in two

changes in passenger trains there will
be added two or three new fast trains
to protect the large increase in bust

THE UNIVERSAL HABIT.

L saw her shopping in stylish attire,
And she felt
OF her belt
At the back.
Her walk was as free as springy
steel wire.
And many a rubberneck turned to ad-
mire
AS she felt
OF her belt
At the back
She wondered if all the contraptions
back there
We're fastened Just right-'twas an
unceasing care.
So she felt
OF her belt
At the back.
1 saw her at church as she entered her
pew;
And she felt
OF her belt
At the back.
She had on skirt that was rustly and
new,
And she didn't quite know what the
fastenings might do,
So she felt
OF her belt
AT the back.
Size figited round while the first
prayer was said,
She fumbled about while the first
hymn was read
Oh she felt
OF her belt
At the back
Jack told her one night that he loved
her like mad,
And she felt
of her belt
At the back.
She didn't look sorry, she didn't look
glad
She looked like she thought, well
that wasn't so bad. -
And she felt
OF her belt
At the back.
But-well, don't think it great
deal of harm,
For what should the maiden have
found but an arm
When she felt
OF her belt
At the back.

iron HAND"

The name of de Tonty is uncommon
and one not generally known as close
ly associated with the exploits of the
explorer, La Sale in the Lake Region
and Mississippi Valley during the
latter part of the 18th century. 1t
was Henri de Tonty who, with Hen
nepin, native of Flanders, accom-
panied this great priest in his expedi-
tions to bring the great Northwest
and the region to the west and south
west under the sway of the French
king, Louis XIV, and his indomitable
will and courage and his honesty of
purpose made him LaSalle's most
trusted lieutenant. His father was
Lorenzo de Tonty. citizen of Naples
who was the originator of the princi-
pies of the present-day tontine plan
of life insurance. Henri lost hand
while engaged i'll the French military
service, and this was replaced by an
iron hand: ON this account the lndi
ans of America gave him the name of
Iron Hand. - To carry out the
scheme of LaSalle it was found neces-
sary to build what was up to that
time the largest vessel that had float
ed the western waters, and in it about
forty men set sail in 1878, traversing
Lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan. the
base of supplies being FIT. Frontenac.
After many disasters the party pushed
on from the lower end of Lake Mich
igan into the unknown country, while
the Griffin started back for supplies.
The vessel was never heard of after
wards. The landing party advanced
to>the Illinois river, where fort was
established, called Crevecoeur de
Tonty was left in charge. and LaSalle
started, with few trusted followers.
on a L. 600 mile walk through the will
derness and interminable forests to
Montreal for additional supplies. The
garrison of the fort mutinied and
drove de Tonty and a few of his ad-
herants into the wilderness, and they
found shelter among the Illinois In
dians. The Indian village was sacked
by the Iroquois in 1880, and de Tonty
retreated to Green Bay. When La
Sale returned he found i'll place of
his settlement wild orgie and canni-
balistic feast. de Tonty was found
at Mackinaw, and they together re-
turned to Ft. Fontenac. He came
second time to the Illinois river and
was placed in command of n new fort
which was established Louis of
the Illinois-while LaSalle returned
to France for the completion of his
great scheme. With all the trying
vicissitudes of LaSalle the failure of
the expedition from France to the
outh of the Mississippi river and
his final assa ssination. de Tonty went
twice to the mouth of the Mississippi
river to meet LaSalle's expedition.
but of course he did not find him. and
then third time to meet Iberville.
He never returned to the northwest.
