Snow is Scarce.

Z. R. Chew, engineer of irriga.
ton district No. 2, returned from
trip of inspection along the st.
Charles river. He reports that
there has been but slight fall of
snow in that section Of the coun-
try and at present there is little
water. He thinks that the out
look is as favorable as in other
years and that ii is entireiy too
soon to feel alarmed at what some
consider the poor outlook.
Mr.. Chew says that rs a general
rule the mountains are bare of
snow until much later in the sea-
son and that the heaviest SHOWS
are to come. He expects that
there will be plenty of snow in toe
late winter and early spring to
supply all the wants Of the farm
ers during the summer Pueblo
Chicftain.

In its New Years writeup OF
the state the Field and Farm had
the following to say of the live
stock industry of Prowers county:
"The stockmen generally enjoyed
a prosperous year. The summer
range was good and the herds grew
in numbers and thrivel. Very
little feeding has been necessary
vet owing to mild weather, bdi
cattle owners me Supplied with an
abundance Of feed and DO not feal
winter losses. Ranchmen are iD
excellent spirits, as cattle went ln-
to winter in fine condition anG
with plenty of rough feed Oh
hand. Owing TO the free market
ing of the stock during the season
no more than the usual number Of
cattle is left to carry over this
winter in spite of the fact that
marketing of steers was lighter
than usual because Of low prices.
Grass cured up well and the range
is the best in three years, although
overcrowded. The stock feeding
business has increased until now

A Girl From
The Country
tOriginal.l

The Empire express rolled into the
Grand Central station at New York.
The gate was opened. Those waiting
formed Il line on either side, and the
passengers alighting came forward. A
man dressed in the clothing of gen
tleman, though his features were those
of commoner, carried suit case in
either hand, the two articles differing
somewhat in size though of the same
drab hue. Beside him was young
girl. She had been travelling alone,
and on getting out of the car the man
had offered to carry her suit case for
her. Just before. reaching the gate he
looked ahead, and his eye evidently
lighted on some one he knew.
I'm sorry must hurry, miss" he
said, and, putting down one of the suit
cases, he went on ahead Of her. When
he reached the gateway and was pass
ing through it man tapped him on
the shoulder
"pll carry your hand baggage for
YOU, Mike Conovcr," he said.
The traveller looked at him without
any marked surprise and willingly re-
linqushcd his baggage. The other led
| the way to hanson, put the traveller
| In and got in himself with the case.
"We'n go to headquarters and have
a peep at this" he said as they drove
away.
Meanwhile the girl took up the suit
case the traveller had put down. pass.
ed through the gate and on reaching an
exit was accosted by man from be-
hind.
| Carriage, miss"
The girl walked on without noticing
| him.
Carriage, miss?" he repeated.
"No, thank you. I'm going to take
q street car"
"IIl take you cheap" he said, max
Ing a grab for her suit case.
A policeman standing on the side,
walk saw the act and taking the man
by the collar, threw him into the
| street.
-"You'd better take a carriage, miss,
said the officer THAT fellow Is a well
known crook and was trying to get
your baggage"
"Oh. can't afford a carriage" re-
piled the girl. but the policeman In
! sisted. and before she had recovered
her equunimity lie had called a cab
and put her in.
When Mike Conover allghted from
the hanson at police headquarters he
went upstairs with his captor, and the
latter said to the inspector on duty al
the desk:
II think I've got the funds taken from
the - National at Albany. They're
probably in this suit case; but, not hav
ing a key, couldn't open it."
Then the suit case was pried open
before the Inspector and found to con
tain ladies' underwear, combs, brushes
and like articles.
The inspector and the detective look
ed at each other with disappointed
expression.

Broward suspended From Onlce

BrOward Suspended From Office
There seems to be doubt in some
minds concerning the truthfulness of
the statement that Napoleon b..
/ Broward, candidate Tor governor,
was once removed from the office of
sheriff of Duval county. The follow
ing copy Of the executive order for
BrUward's removal will set all thee
doubts at rest:
Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 20, 1884. .
Whereas, 1t has been made to APP
pear that N. b. Broward, Sheriff Of
Duval County, State of Florida, is
guilty Of neglect of duty in Office in
this, to wit: That at the State cleo
| ton held in and for said county md
State, on the second day of October,
1894, and while II number of couserV
ative citizens OfJSaid county enter
tanned grave fears that riot or blood
shed would occur at said election,
the said Sheriff abspnGed hinsel
| from his post Of duty, so that he
could not be communicated with by
said conservative citizens, or by the
| Governor Of said State; or by the
| Ad iutant-Gen"ral of the State. who
was sent to Jacksonville Tor the en-
press purpose of comforting with and
assisting said sheriff in preserving
the peace of SAID election.
Anu it has been further made to
appear that n. b Broward, sheriff
of Duval county, Florida, is guilty of
malfeaSance in office, in this. to wit:
That at the State election held in and
for the county of Duval and state of
Florida, on the second day of Octo-
ber 1891, the said sheriff, in violation
of law, appointed u number Of depu-
ty sherilTs at each polling place in
said county, and that he, the said
sheriff, permitted his said deputies
to invade said polling places in vio-
lation of law, and against the protest
of tn inspectors of said election, and
to interfere with and obotruct said
inspectors in the discharge of their
duties, and that said deputies were
permitted to aud did refuse to obey
the legal orders of said inspectors,
stating at the time that they were
obrying orders of said sheriff.
Now, therefore, |, Henry Il. Mitch
ell, as Governor of the State of Flor
ida, by virtue of the authority vested
in me by the Constitution of said
State, have suspended, and do here
by suspend the said n. b. Broward

ment of the next session of the STATE

lions of the said office for the period
aforesaid.

One of the prettiest home weddings
to take place in Crescent City in
many years was that which united
Miss May, second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel +. Neal, and Mr..
VIM. H. Fuller of Detroit, Mich.
The ceremony occurred at the
home of the brides parents on south
Main street last Monday morning at
six O'Clock and was attended by u
large party of ladies and gentlemen,
most of whom We're lifelong friends
and relatives of the bride.
Promptly at 6 o'clock the bridal
party marched through the hall and
out on to the wide porch which eX-
tends across the entire front of the
Neal home The march was accom-
panied by the strains of the wedding
march played by Miss IneZ Cone
One end of the porch had been re-
served for the ceremony, while the
balance was filled with guests. Rev.
Dr.. ID. NJ. Reeves of the Presbyte-
rian church awaited the coming of
the bridal party, and as the music
ceased he began the impressive SER
vice.
The bride, who was beautifully
and becOmingIy gowned in white or
candle with hand made white satin
ribbon and Valenciennes lace, and
carrying beautiful boquet of white
flowers, never looked more charm
ing, and when the last words of the
ceremony had been said, there was
IL rush of friends to offer compll-
ment. Miss Neal was Crescent
City girl. She was born here and
her entire life had been spent with
the people of this community, and
all felt, now that she was to go from
us. that they suffered personal
loss.
Mr.. VIM. II. Fuller, the groom
lives in Detroit, Mich, but has spent
several seasons here, where he has
won "A host of fricnds-and one of the

"We'll hold him anyway" remarked
the former, and Mike Conover was
locked up.
Mabel Croxton, the young girl who
had come in on the train, reached a
boarding house In which she had en-
gagged board by letter and was shown
to her by apartment. She sat down
on the only chair and, as girls put it.
had IA good cry" She was country
girl, barely eighteen years old, who
had come to New York to make her
living behind counter, and the cheer
less look Of her new home. together
with her unpleasant episode in having
narrowly escaped robbery. had rem
dered her very homeslck. But her poor
old mother would be looking for re-
mittance, and it behOoved her to keep
stout heart. So she lifted her suit
case on to the bed with a view to max.
Ing her toilet before dinner. Taking
out her key, she inserted 1t in the lock;
but, attempting to turn it, 1t came to Il
dead stop. Then she looked at the suit
case and noticed that 1t was larger
than her own. After all she h:d been
robbed. The polite man who lad car
ried her hand baggage had exchanged
with her. She sat down on her bed
and had another good cry"
After dinner she took her landlady
into her confidence and told her of the
exchange. The good woman advised
her to report the matter to the police.
So without waiting Mabel took the
suit case and in company with her ad-
wiser got into car and started on her
quest. The landlady knew a bit about
New York and took her to the police
headquarters in Mulberry street Once
there the two were ushered before the
Inspector
"Mr. Inspector" said the landlady.
this young girl has been robbed"
And she proceeded with the story. AS
soon as the inspector heard the words
exchanged suit cases" he pricked up
his ears. Then he saw the case in the
girls hands and. selling it, picked up
screwdriver, the same that had open
ed Mike Conover's case that afternoon,
and ripped the thing open. Remov-
ing some linen, he exposed large pack
ages Of bank bills pinned in narraw
strips Of brown paper.
What luck" he exclaimed, and,
rushing to Il telephone, he called up the
president Of bank in Albany and re-
ported that he had secured find
which he believed to be the whole of
the banks loss. Then, taking the hand
Of the timid girl before him. he said
"My dear. l congratulate you. This
Is the money of which bank has been
robbed, and | think 1t is all there. If
so you'll get the reward, $4,000 for
the recovery Of half the amount and
$4,000 for the recovery Of ALL"
A few days later Mabel Croxton, aft
er having identified Conover, went
back home with check for $4,000 in
her pocket. Then she and her mother
had good cry" together, but this
time 1t was for joy.
