this place the horses were chang

Some Delayed School Notes.

A pleasant surprise came to
John Mullison on last day of
school for the boy receiving high
est honors in the High Room. 1t
was a set of books of Naval Bat
lies, presented by Mr.. H. j.
Wright. Indeed John was pleas
ed at receiving these honor as a
reward and not a prize.
Nothing was more pleasing
throughout the whole school year
and so heartily appreciated by the
Principal as the happy and I'M
expected remembrance from his
boys and girls upon the last day
of school when upon returning
to his room from the hall to find
the room so quiet and upon the
desk a package, Upon unwrapping
it his curiosity turned to mex
pressible JOY for there was a
beautiful collar, cuff and jeweler
box already to go to the wedding.
Mr.. Stearns thinks a great deal
of mis- boys and girls and this
kind remembrance will be to him
one of his fondest keepsakes.

NICKEL LEAVES
Buys Geddes Ranch in Carbon County
Was Forced to Give Up Home in Iron
Mountain District by Reign of Terror
Inaugurated by Tom Horn.

The last chapter in the famous
Horn case was not written when
Tom Horn went to the gallows at
the county Jail in this city last
fall. His dastardly assassination
of Willie Nickel. the fourteen
year old son of Kels p. Nickel
has had its effect even after his
death and the father, driven from
his home in this county, by the
persecution of his enemies, will
again start in the ranch business
but ut a place far removed from
the scene of the tragedy which
brought almost national notoriety
to Tom Horn.
Kels P. Nickel has purchased
the Joe Geddes ranch in Carbon
county. and will leave Monday or
Tuesday of next week TO reside in
his new home. The ranch is a
fine property and was sold to
Nickel for $1,000. IL contains
l,I20 acres of decided land and
considerable leased land, 1t is
located four miles below Saratoga
on the east bank of the Platte
river.
Nickel has resigned his posi-
ton as blacksmith in the Union
Pacific shops here and will dis
pose of his home IN north Chey-
eune during the week, where he
has resided since he was driven
out of the Iron Mountain coun-
try by his prosecutors.
His departure recalls the start.
ling incidents in connection with
the crime in which Tom Horn.
the celebrated cattle detective was
tried, convicted and hanged in
this city; the killing of Willie
Nickel at the Nickel ranch at
Iron Mountain on the morning of
July Is. 1901; the subsequent at
tack and wouuding of his father
at the same place; the trapping of
Tom Horn into co~nfessing the
deed to Deputy Marshall Joe Lee
Fors, one of the shrewdest pieces
of detective work ever recorded,
the arrest of Horn and his sensa-
tional trial; his daring Jail break :;
the sensations sprung during the
hearing before Governor Chatter
ton under his application for Il
pardon and finally his execution.
In the departure of the Nickel
family. the last chapter in the
great Horn case has been written.

Pleased With the Outlook Contract
let for so Feet Of Development Work
Carries Both Gold and Copper.

Charles w. Taylor, accompan-
led by Thos. VanLoon, George
and James A. Forester, all of
Detroit, Mich, were here the past
week looking over the mining
property of hat company ON the
Slavery.
Mr.. Taylor, the secretary of the
company. is well acquainted with
the entire country, but the other
members of the company are max
ing their first visit to the noun
taius.
The property consists of II
claims ON the Savery. The Big
Grizzly is the one being operated.
Charles Il. Cheney, the presid-
ent, made a trip to this country
last November. There was. at
that time, only a ten foot hole on
the property, but the first piece
Of rock Mr.. Cheney picked up
showed free gold. This decided
them to let a 80 foot contract on
the lead. The visit of the present
party was 10 examine this work
aud see what the prospects were.
The showing was SO good they at
once let another 80 foot contract.
The DE carries both gold and
copper, and is shot all through
with free gold, and the vein is 26
in width and growing better.
The ore@in this vein is so vain
able that 1t is sorted as taken out
and cared for. A small shipment
for a mill run was sent to Denver
from this place last Saturday. 1t
is confidently expected that the
next 80 feet will show up one Of
the best properties in the district.
Mr.. Taylor is the president o4
The hed Chief Mining company,
which let a so foot contract on
one of the claims of that compa-
ny, The ore from this claim also
carries considerable gold as well
as copper. The company propos-
Is to let another contract on this
property and to do considerable
development work there. The
company's claims are situated
within two miles of the Boncob-
ia property, in a westerly direc-
ton.

WEEKLY STOCK YARDS LETTER

South Omaha. Neb.. June ID
Work ON the new viaduct across
the tracks at the Union Stock
yards is rapidly progressing and
its completion will be hailed with
delight by the thousands of stock
men, shippers, visitors and work
men who have to ross the tracks
between constantly moving trains.
Its completion will also facilitate
the movment of livestock. as such
extreme caution as is now neces-
sary, will not have to be used
when foot passengers can cross
the street overhead.
The policy of the stockyards
company has been one of constant
improvement, with the result that
the South Omaha yards are now
better equipped in all respects
than any other yards in the coun-
try,
In order to enable shippers to
comply With the cattle dipping
order. the stockyards company
has Installed a dipping tank capa-
bic of accommodating al! of the
stock that will be shipped here in
any one day or week and such are
the facilities that dipping can be
done at less than shippers can do
it at their own places. Dipped
cattle are certainly accepted in
preference to those which have
not been dipped and to the ship
per the dipping process is proving
a boon, indsmuch as it is a practi-
cal insurance hat his cattle are
free from disease.
Stockmen here are watching for
the effects of the kinkaid land
law. 1t is the general impression
that one result of the law will be
the raising of higher grade cattle.
owing to the range restrictions
under the law. 1t has been prov
en- that high grade cattle + the
most profitable to the stock raiser
and have the effect of raising
prices on all brands, as the small
er production creates a natural
upgrade of prices.
Market conditions at South
Omaha during the past week have
shown no change over those of
the preceding week. Prices are
stable at the present low basis and
will likely remain so until the
rush of grass fed cattle is over.
Hogs are in light demand, but
the lightweights are bringing fair
prices, although the season for
pork consumption is practically
closed.
Shipments are not largely in
creasing, which aids in sustaining
the market at the normal summer
standard. South Omaha prices
are yet being kept at a par with
those paid at Chicago and Kansas
City and shippers to this market
seldom face a day handicapped by
a big string of left overs as has
been the case of late in Chicago
and other markets.
