is Mrs. Nance Pollard, of a Virginia
family, and that before leaving home

Mrs. Pollard has lived in Philadel.
phia for several years. She married
in secret, and secured a divorce. She
has been living with her sister, Mrs.
Robert Reed, +137 Woodland avenue.
Miss Nellie Ball, a subordinate,
was sitting next to Mrs. Pollard.
She told the police that the woman
was apparently waiting for some one.

CATTLE POISONED WITH
SALT AND STRYCHNlNE

Mancos Times.
Last week In the Montezuma val.

human creature placed out quantity
of strychnine and salt and killed 26
head OF cattle. II is not known as
yet who the parties are. Several pa
ties are being watched and should
proof OF so cruel deed be brought
forward the guilty party is likely to
go behind the bars. There has been
trouble some time between the stock
men and ranchmen of the valley and
this is likely to bring a clash in which
blood may flow freely.
There Is considerable feeling over
the matter, as number of stockmen
have cattle among the slain, and are
watching every corner to detect the
guilty party that the proper punish
ment might be dealt out to same.

same character happened out in the

That there is gold in the San Juan

such proportions that it is attracting

years since this industry was inaugur.
ated In the great valley of the Rio

sheep feeding there with countries as
far removed as Montana and Oregon
trying to find those who will contract
to feed as many more. And this sug-
gests that the Durango country has
sent more than 10000 of these sheep
to the San Luis valley, when peas
could have been raised at home for
the feeding of half million sheep.
