Supreme Court Decisions.

The Supreme Court has hand
ed down several important deci-
sions of late, one of which was in
the appeal of the murderer. keef-
err of Lander, who wanted a new
trial. The court decided that
thele had been no error in the
trial and that he must suffer the
penalty of the law.
A decision of the court was also
handed down giving the salary of
both Secretary of State and Gov
ernor to Governor C%hatterton.
This is n just decision and one
that the people will commend.
The next Legislature should pass
a law raising the salary of COVER
nor to $1,000.
Arguments were heard in the
case of Tom Horn, two days being
occupied by the attorneys in ar
guing pro aud con, and the case
taken under advisement. A deci.
sion will not be reached in this
case for at least three months.

At the Opera House.

The play Thursday night, given
under the auspices of the knights
of Pythias, and placed by Percy
ID. Levin, was a success in every
way. The Opera House was
crowded and many people were
turned away for lack of even
standing room. The play, THE
Senator's Wife" is the best ever
given in Saratoga and both the
stage setting and the acting was
above criticism.
Saturday night "A Summers
Fancy" was played to a very
large and appreciative audience.
MIR. Levin, who placed this play
also, made an enviable reputation
for himself by his success both
evenings.

Settling fer the Kama Disaster.

The Union Pacific Coal Com
pany, through its attorneys, Hus-
sey d Manchester, are settling
for the victims of the Hanna dis
aster on II basis of $500 to each
American widow, with $50 for
each child, and $3.50 for each Wild
ow of a foreigner, with Transpor-
tation to any part of the United
States. For each single man the
company pays $3.50. This offer
on the part of the Company has
been accepted by the relatives of
the dead and the court will order
the matter closed up on that
basis.

Snake VS.. Eagle.

As John McDougall was re-.
turning on horseback to his ranch
on Reshaw a few evenings since
he noted some peculiar object at
the side if the road and it being
too dark to determine the charac-
ter of the find he dismounted to
investigate. Walking up closely
he gave the object a punch with
his quirt, and was startled by a
blood-curdling squawk in return.
His curiosity was completely
aroused and after further inves-
tigation he found that he had en-
countered a mammoth bald
eagle, and the presence of the
bird on the ground was accounted
for by the fact that a huge bull
snake had entwined itself around
the birds neck and was slowly
but surely choking it to death.
MIR. McDougall took some cord
from his saddle and made the
the eagle a prisoner, unloosed the
snakes grasp and took the eagle
home On his saddle. He has the
emblem of American liberty safe
ly ensconsed in a cellar and is
much pleased over the capture.
The eagle is a monstrous one, and
measures seven feet four inches
from tip to tip of wing.-Wheat-

He left for home again Tuesday
of this week. While here he let
the contract for the construction
of the fish hatchery to q. ID. Bu-

ton for the sum of Sl,676.00.
The work will begin at once and
the building will be completed by
the 18th of October. Capt. G.. J.

the hatchery, will overlook the
work and make preparation for
the speedy occupation of the
building when it is completed.

Lawns and Flower Beds.

Five years ago but two or three
people in the entire town of Sara
toga attempted to raise flowers
out of doors. There were two
reasons for this. First. MOI one
person in "A hundred believed that
flowers could be grown out of
doors in this altitude. Second.
Even if a few hardy varieties
could be made to thrive it would
take an endless amount Of care
to make them grow. Hence it
var useless to try to have flowers
in the yards and lawns. As one
strolls owe the town now he will
SEE a vast change. Everywhere
are beautiful lawns and banks of
flowers of every description, sweet
peas, hollyhocks, peoples, pan
sizes, and almost every flower that
can be grown anywhere is now
to be found in the flower beds of
this place. The front yard or
lawn in Saratoga that does moi
contain a soft coating of grass,
shade trees and flowers in album
dance has a deserted and forlorn
appearance.

Some Carnival After-thoughts.

Charlie Irwin was all there. A
Carnival without Charlie would
be like a circus without the Clown.
Guy VanHolt did some of the
prettiest riding ever seen in the
valley. We Lave some good rid
ers here-but Holt easily took the
prize.
Red Bird" "A sorrel gelding,
belonging to & and F. Irwin,
made the hit of the Carnival when
he won a half mile, free-for.all
without a rider, against Honest
John and Bourbon. He not only
won first prize, but the hearts of
every one OF the grand stand.
The Saratoga brass band is a
credit to the Carnival, aud fur
nished most excellent music at
every opportunity.
Every camera available was
brought into service. and some ex-
cellent snap shots of races and
bucking contests lis the result.
For n wonder there WAS no mix
up of cameras, owners and horses,
but there we're some narrow es-
cap.s.

Death Of Alfred Heath.

Alfred ). Heath died at his
residence in this city at $50 p.
III. yesterday. after an illness ex-
tending over many years. The flu
neral will be held in the Episco-
pal church at this place at 1910
a. III. tomorrow. after which the
body will be taken to Rawlins
for lnterment. The Masonic fra
ternity of this place, of which he
was a member, with attend the
the services and assist in the GER
emonies and will also send an es-
cort to Rawlins with the body.
Deceased was born in London.
England, August 10Th 1855. He
graduated from the London Uni
versity in the year 1873, with the
degree of Master of Arts and was
admitted to the Bar during the
same year. He was An extensive
traveller and visited many of the
countries of the earth, finally ar
irving in this valley during the
year 1888, and has remained here
eve since. He has been a prom.
lnent citizen of Saratoga for the
past fifteen years, being a mem
Der of the bar and holding the
Office of Justice Of the Peace for
this precinct for many terms. On
August 18th, 1898 he was united
in marriage to Miss Laura c.
Huntington, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. R. E. &. Huntington of
this place.
OF late he has been almost
helpless, and dependent entirely
upon his faithful and devoted
wife for the care and attendance
necessary. 1t was unquestiona-
bly, her devotion and tenderness
that was the means of prolonging
his life for the past three or four
years.
Deceased was a man of unusual
personal attainments and educa-
tional qualities, which endeared
him to his friends and made him
a favorite with all who knew him.
He possessed a mind enriched
with much learning and his men
tai faculties remained with him
up to within a short time before
his death. Every one who came
in contact with him felt the depth
and richness of his mental store,
and were charmed and entertain
ed by his conversational powers,
and the range and extent of his
knowledge of the world.
Deceased leaves a wife, who re-
sides here, and Il mother and two
sisters in London. His mother is
so years of age. He was the last
male member of the family and
with him dies the name of Heath,
so far rs his own family are con-
cerned.

selves with an abundance of help
for the occasion.
The people began to arrive on
Wednesday, the day before the
commencement of the festivities,
and the hotels we're soon filled and
the streets began to take on a
very animated appearance. Thurs
day morning saw every road lead
ing to Saratoga lined with car
riages, buggies, wagons and people

the streets we're crowded with an
expectant interested throng of
sight-seers.

Bucking contest: Riders, Guy
Holt, Billie West, G. f. Perry, the
three best riders, to be selected by
the judges, to contest second day
for prizes.
There was some splendid riding
by these three men. Holt rode a
vicious bay, owned by Sherman
Lutte. The horse did its utmost,
but Holt rode the animal straight
up with all the ease in the world.
Both West AMI Perry did some
splendid riding, but their horses
did not give them the occasion for
spectacular riding that Holt s did.
Relay race: This was one of
the most interesting features of
the Carnival. Each rider was en-
titled to five horses and changed
horses every half mile. He was
entitled to n helper. The en-

Roping Contest: Entries:
Frank Irwin: Chas. Irwin; Dav-
id Wilcox: b. A. McLaulin.
A great interest in this contest
had been felt from the start and
its announcement was hailed with
pleasure. Some 5 or 10 large
raLge steers had been brought
down from the Kuykendall ranch
and were ~restlessly crowding one
another in the corral near by.
Frank Irvine was given the first
try. A big brown steer came
lunging out of the corral and
started for the tall timber, with
Frank in close pursuit. The steer
was not roped until he had gotten
a considerable distance away, and
was then tied under difficulties.
Time 2.15.
Dave Wilcox was next on deck
but played in hard luck. He was
not able to get a good throw at
his animal, which proved exceed
ingly swift of foot, and WAS finally
abandoned.
Charles Irwin then took down
his rope and prepared to try his
hand. He was quite fortunate
and roped and tied his animal in
LAS. His horse showed wonder
full intelligence and held the rope
taut until a word from his master
caused him to slack up.
B. A. McLauhin was the last
man in the contest. He had "a
large strong horse and would have
given Charles Irwin a close call
for time had not his rope broken
just as he had begun the
work of tying. He attempted
to hold the animal with his tie
rope and still accomplish his OBJ
ject, but failed. He made a
plucky fight, but it was against
all odds and in vain.
The Pigeon Shoot: 1t was an
Dounced from the judges stand
that a live pigeon shoot would be
the next attraction. This an
nouncement was corrected in that
clay pigeons would be used in
stead of live birds, but a great
many did not hear the correction.
and left the grounds because they
did not wish to witness a live
bird shoot.
The contestants for the prize
we're Charles p. Clemmons, Hen
ny Rose, Jonse Rose and George
Lowman.
Each man was entitled to 10
birds. Mr.. Clemmons was easily
the winner, breaking = out of 10
birds. Lowman came next with
5, followed by Henry Rose with 4
and Jonse Rose with 3 birds.
Saturday evening, the winding
up of the Carnival, the play "a
Summers Fancy" was placed on
the boards at Armory hall, and
played to a large and enthusiastic
audience. After the play was
over the hall was cleared and a
dance INDUCED in until after mid.
night.
Quite a number of people, who
lived near, left for home Saturday
night. but by far the greater num-
Der remained over until Sunday
morning when they reluctantly
departed for home.
There was but little disposition
displayed on the part of our no.
tells and restaurants to put up
prices. AT the Hotel Wolf, while

track, the race was declared off

Matthew Watt took first prize
in this contest, with Prince
Wilks, jr, owned by Joe Enk-
house, second.
Time 1888 and 1:39.
The evening of the second day
was the scene of a grand ball at
Armory hall, which was attended
by as many as could find room in
the building.
THIRD DAY.
Morning.
Apparently the assembled
throng awoke on the morning of
the third day with as keen an ap-
petite as at any time. There was
an air of general good fellowship
prevailing everywhere. The Sar-
atoga Band. which had furnished
music during the two previous
days, was on hands, bright and
early, to furnish music for the
occasion.
Leo Stevens, the aeronaut,
made his second attempt to as
cend in his balloon early in the
morning, but after working for a
couple of hours the attempt was
abandoned entirely. 1t was quite
evident that it was impossible to
get enough gas into a balloon at
this altitude to make it ascend.
The bali game between the jun
ior mines of Rawlins and Sarato.
ga occupied the boards in the
forenoon and IA largely attend
ed. The result was decidedly in
favor of the Rawlins nine, which
carried off the day with a score of
IA to 7.
Afternoon.
First Race: one-half mile free
for-all. Entries: No. 1, Red
Bird; No. 2, Uncle Bob; c. and
F. Irwin, owners.
Red Bird took first money, with
Uncle Bob second. The track
was very heavy both days, and
the horses we're much handicap
ped by that fact.
Second Race: mile Novelty

Bell, VIM. Turnbull,, owner; No.
2, Lulu Girl, Lee Battle, owner;
No. 3, Honest John, No. 4, Bur

After more than a half hours
jockeying the contestants got
away in a bunch and sped round
the track. Nellie, the mare rid
den by Mabel Horton, broke
across the track, coming in be-
hind the bunch.
From the start it was seen that
she did not have perfect control
of the mare, but when Miss Hor-
ton WAS seer to fall from the ami
NAL at the quarter pole, it created
CONSERVATION. In the meantime
the rest of the racers were coming
down the home stretch with Irish
Seylon, ridden by Mrs. Newman
in the lead, with Tony, ridden by
