FORM A
new COUNTY
BILL IN COLORADO LEGISLATURE
TO CREATE PLATTE COUNTY
IN NORTH PARK.
Walden to Be County Seat and No 9th
err County, Legislative or judicial
District Boundary Will Be Chang
ed-One I%nhabitant to the Square
Mile.

Senator Morgan has introduced a
bill to cut off the western half of Lari-
county following the Rocky noun
tain range and form the new county of
Platte. says the Denver Times. 1t is
provided that the governor shall ap-
point the county officers. Walden is to
be the county seat.
The new county will be about 2,400
square miles in extent and will have a
population of about II for each square
mile. The bill does not change any
county lines or boundaries and Sena-
tor Morgan says the new county will
be attached to the same legislative, ju.
dicial and other districts as at pres.
ent.
The reason for the creation of the
new county is that the inhabitants OF
North park west of the range have to
go clear up into Wyoming to Cheyenne
and Laramie. 1875 miles, to get to the
county seat, because the mountain
roads are impossible several months
IN the year.

WOOD AS MARRIAGE FEE,
Parson Didn't Want It.. but It Wa
That or Nothing.


Parson Brown presided over a Show
hogan church many years & and he
counted on marriage fees as a substan-
tial part Of his living. One day
Charles l.. a farmer. drove into the
village with a load of wood. On top
of the load with him rode his sweet
heart. with whom he had been keeping
company" several years and who had
at last consented to become Mrs. l..
The load was driven into the parsons
yard, the horses hitched and the door
bell pulled. The ceremony was wit
messed by the parsons wife and sister.
In those days wood was selling at IS
per cord. When the certificate was
made out and given to the bride, the
groom asked where the wood should
be u%nloaded. The parson said he was
not in need Of any wood. as the parish
had attended to his comfort in that
way. The groom looked abashed for
a moment and then braced up and
said:
Parish or no parish. I hain't got no
money. and that lead of wool is worth
double what you Ire entitled to; it's
all l got and it's what you'll have to
take"
The parson took the wood.

the duty of the Sheriff of each county

ed in slaughtering cattle. once every
six months, and make a thorough in
vestigation as to whether or not such
person has strictly complied with the
requirements of Sections 2007, zoos of
the Revised Statutes of Wyoming.
Section 20O7 provides that no person
shall purchase or slaughter any head
of neat cattle until the same is dis
tinctly branded. and that every person
shall keep a record of all cattle so
slaughtered, naming the person OF
whom such cattle were purchased, his
place of residence, the age, Sex and
which record shall at all times be open
for inspection OF any person. Section
zoos requires every butcher slaughter
ing neat cattle to keep the hides OF
such cattle at his place of slaughter,
and such hides shall be subject to the
inspection of any person. Mr.. Per

and would make it a little harder for

be covered into the treasury of he
state. A fee of ten dollars is provided
for each single boiler and its connec
