WORK IN THE PARK.
Soldiers Have Adopted Skis for Their
Winter TRAVELLING.

Scandinavians and Firms are not
the only people in America who use
skis. Out in the mountain valleys of
Nevada, everybody is an expert on the
ski and for years II has been the pop
ular means of getting over the snow,
which Is very deep.
Uncle Sans soldiers in Yellow
stone park are also expert ski-run-
ners.
Ski-running Is both a winter sport
and a business among the scouts and
soldiers employed in the national
park to enforce the regulations of that
great federal game preserve and seem
ic wonderland. Skis are used as a
means of communication between the
isolated winter stations, and travel
ing on them the men cary provisions
to these stations from the headquar-
ters at Fort Yellowstone. The nearest
of these stations to the fort Is at Nor
ris Geyser Basin. distant twenty
miles, and the farthest, on Snake riv-
er on the Pacific side. distant ninety
miles. Along the routes are twenty
emergency cabins. Each is fitted up
with a sheet iron stove, hunks and
bedding and a "grub-box" rationed
with flour, bacon. sugar. tea, bareback
and dried fruit. By their use the
scouts are enabled to watch the boun-
daries of the park with some degree
Of comfort, sleeping at night on a
mattress in the warmth of a stove,
where, in years past. before the cab
ms were built, the night was only
a weary vigil by a flickering fire in
the snow.
The use of the skis was introduced
by Captain Anderson in 1879 after II
was found that several kinds of snow
shoes were not adapted for the park.
The great sport of the soldiers In
the winter is breaking in the nov
men. who naturally have all the ms
haps that come to a beginner.

years for dyspepsia; the pain appear
ed to center under her left shoulder
blade, and was so severe at times
that she could neither eat nor sleep.
She had lost faith in her home doc
tor. and asked us to send her a sample
OF wi DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills, which had been recommended
to her. We sent her two pills. in d
few days she sent for a box. Now she
writes that the pain under her Shout
der has left her entirely, she enjoys
her meals and " sleeps less than
eight hours every night. and this has
all come about In two weeks, and
cost her so cents for two boxes OF
pills. Says the doctor charged her
$4,000 and that she told him he had
better take the $4,000 and invest IL
all in Dr.. Gums Improved Liver Pills
and build up his practice. We have
not received the doctors order yet,

MRS. ANDERSON
WINS HER CASE
Jury Brings in a Verdict Ordering the
Sheriff to Return the Property
Held Under Attachment.
THE CASE LONG DRAWN OUT
Much Conflicting Testimony-case
Ends a Long Jury Term Of the
District Court.

The claim and delivery suit entitled
Mrs. Nettie Anderson VS.. l.. p. Stat
err, Sheriff" was tried the latter part
of last week and resulted in a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff. The suit
was the outgrowth of the attachment
by Walker ]. Wells and Bernard Nc.
Donnell of certain horses, presumably
the property Of Steve Anderson, but
which we're claimed by Nettie Ander-
son as her property. The case was a
complicated one and required the bet.
ter part of three days for its trial.
In May, last, there was a judgment
rendered against Steve Anderson in
the Cascade county court to satisfy
which some property over there was
attached. The amount of tie judg-
ment was $3.50. In order to ave his
property he borrowed that amount
from Walker Wells and Bernard Nc
Donnell, and as security said that he
would give a mortgage on his horses
and wagons. One of the principal
points at issue in the trial was wheth-
er or not Anderson told Wells and
Mcdonnell that he would give a mort
gage on all of the stock and wagons,
and whether or o he told them that
a part of the property belonged to
his wife. The plaintiff had witnesses
to prove that he did not exercise own
ership of the property and that he
told Wells and Mcdonnell that the
property belonged to his wife. Mrs.
Anderson refused to sign the mort
gage to the horses, which she claimed
and the suit was precipitated, when
Sheriff Slater. after being given an
indemnifying bond by Wells and Nc
Donnell, took charge of the horses
and retained possession of them. The
suit was for the return of the prop
erty or for the value of the five horses.

plaintiff had a great array of witness.
es TO prove how the horses came in
her possession and that she had often
exercised ownership over them. An
important witness for the defense was
Assessor Frank Pick. who showed
from the records of his office that An.
derson had first had the horses as
sessed to him, but later had the list
changed so that the horses would be
assessed to his wife. The testimony
of Wells and Mcdonnell was that An
derson had represented to them that
the horses we're his own property and
that it was upon this representation
that they advanced him the money
with which to satisfy the Cascade
county judgment.
Huntoon, Worden & Smith appear
ed for the plaintiff while Blackford &
Blackford were the attorneys for the
defendants. The jury was given the
case Friday evening and brought in
a verdict about 9 o'clock that night.
They decided that the horses should
be returned to the plaintiff, who
should in addition have damages in
the sum of SlS7. 1t is likely that the
case will be appealed by the defend.
