STRANGE LARCENY CASE
Stole Goods In Wyoming and Carried
Them into Colorado Witness
His Wife.

An unusually complicated lar
ceny case was dismissed last week
in the court of Justice of the Peace
X. g.. Wallace at Hahn's Peak.
Gays the Encampment Herald.
The goods alleged to have been
stolen consist of provisions. valued
at more than $1,000, but the de-
fence established that the crime
was committed a few feet over the
state line in Wyoming and that a
Colorado court had no jurisdiction.
1t is alleged that Carl Dudley,
the defendant, had removed groc-
cries and provisions from the
boarding house of the Carbon
Timber company in Hog Park to
the amount of three or four four
horse wagon loads and had taken
the goods to his ranch ten miles
northwest of Hahn's Peak, Miss
Anna Corless, who was in charge
of the boarding house, is alleged
to have taken the goods, piece by
piece, from the warehouses of the
company, to which she had keys,
to the boarding house, where Dud-
ley loaded up his wagon.
Miss Corless could not testify
against Dudley, for the two had
just been married at Encampment
when Dudley was taken before the
justice. The Carbon Timber Co.,
may cause Dudley's arrest in
Wyoming if he is caught in this
state,

Club Dance

One of the most plearant dances
for several months was the one
held by the Saratoga Entertain
ment Club last Saturday evening
in it's hall in the Dyer block.
The attedance was unusually
large the hall being taxed to its
limit to accommodate the crowd
of young folks. The Club is a
C in every particular, the
membership now numbering over
sixty. A new hard wood floor
will be laid the last of the week
aud by the evening of the 2Sth,
when the next dance takes place,
the building will be wired and
put in a very attractive condition.
That the Saratoga Entertain
ment Club will be one of Sarato-
gas best social features from now
on is established beyond a doubt,
and a strict enforcement of all
rules will insure its responsibility
and stability Al an organization.

FROM CALIFORNIA
q. W. Hainss, q former resident Of the
Valley writes interestingly concern
the Summer Home Farm

A letter was received several
days ago from H. W. Haines,
formerly of Saratoga, and we take
the libery of printing a portion of
it, which will be of interest to the
many friends drought the Valley
of that estimable gentleman and
his family. He says:
Summer Home farm is a beau
tiful place in the mountains. l am
operating it and trying to content
myself with my lot in the finest
climate in the world, with all the
fruits and good things imaginable
to eat and drink. We have had
grapes since the middle of last
September, up until ten days
ago. / have a large vineyard on
the farm, this year l sold all of
my grapes to the winery, but last
year the greater part of them
were shipped east to New York
Chicago and other eastern points.
They are a very fine sight on the
vines. The branches are 10 to 10
inches long and will weigh from
3 to 5 pounds. l made some wine
for my own s and it is fine but
lacks age. We have just had
another delightful rain. There is
seldom any lack of rain in this
part of the state, of cource IN the
summer time We never have any
and that is one of the reasons why
all kinds of fruits do 80 well here.
II seems funny to see everything
growing and producing such
wonderful crops, without irriga-
ton or precipitation other than
the winter rains Yours truly

Bill had Crumbs

A rather comlsal story is told
by an old citizen of the valley,
who vouches for its integrity.
During the early days ranches
were few and far between, this
gentleman, whom we will call
Jim, was summoned to appear in
Rawlins, on a certain day to serve
as a Juror. As he had to ride
some 60 miles he borrowed an
antiquated mule and started a
couple of days before hand in
order to reach the county seat on
the proper day. After covering
abont 40 miles the first day dark
ness overlook him before reach
ing a pla, e to stop for the night.
Along after dark he saw a light
in the distance and headed for it.
A short time after it's discovery
the light went out but Jim kept
on and in a short time came to a
small cabin. Everything was
dark, but after a vigorous ponnd-
ing on the door a man past middle
age came to the door in his night
clothes and asked what WAS want
ed. Jim explained that he should
like to stop there overnight. The
old fellow scratched his head and
looked doubtful but Jim urged
that any sort of accommodation
would be acceptable. So the
owner of the cabin gave Jim a
lantern and showed him where
to get feed for the mule.
The animal being fed and cared
for Jim returned to the house and
was given his supper, which the
old man had prepared. When the
meal was finished, the host said
to Jim:
"You can bunk with Bill the
hired man in that room there,
but he's GRUMPY, st you'd better
not get close to him
Jim took the light and retired.
Bill had already retired and was
asleep on the far side Of the bed,
a glance showed him. to have n
head of close cropped fiery red
hair.
Tired out, Jim soon fell asleep
and needed the instructions of
the old man to keep away from
Bill. The next morning when he
awoke, Bill was up, 80 Jim hustl-
ed out expecting to find him at
the barn doing the chores, but
no Bill showed up aud when Jim
went INTO breakfast he found the

THEY KILL HoPPERs
And 80 Bill Will DO Introduced Against
Slaughter Of Sage Chickens In
Wyoming.

One of the most interesting bills
which will be introduced in the
Legislature at the present session
will be a to prohibit the
killing of sage chickens for a cer.
tain period of years, probably five,
says the Wyoming Tribune.
The bill will be drawn at the in
stance of a large number of ranch
men in Natrona county and other
points in Central Wyoming, and
probably introduced by the Ma
trona county delegation.
1t has been conclusively estab-
lished that the devastation. of grass
hoppers in Central Wyoming dur
ing the past year WAS directly due
to the indiscriminate killing of
sage chickens. In years past
ranchmen experienced no such
trouble with the hoppers, as the
chickens kept them from increas-
ing in numbers.
Then sage hen hunting became
popular and during the past years
they have been slaughtered by
thousands, especially in Natrona
county, where they existed in large
numbers. Since then large
swarms of grasshoppers have ap-
peared and devastated large tracts
of land of every blade of grass,
rendering it worthless for grazing
purposes. Even crops of all des-
criptions have suffered at times
and the need of the measure is
strongly urged by many ranchmen
in Central Wyoming.

The Oregon.

The charm of the story of the bat.
tleship Oregon never fades. Ships
have personalities like men. They
are launched and sent to sea, as rule
they live unrecorded lives. They
face the seas and the storms, they
bear the burdens of ocean commerce:
they do their work. Some are wave
swept, some are hopelessly crippled
some under the assaults of storms are
overwhelmed, some are EAST upon
reefs and perish; some grow old and
helpless, ending their careers in the
scrap pile.
But now and then there is one that
seems TIC possess a soul. Like Nep.
tune they take to the waves exulting-
ly and from the first day rule them.
To such a one the hurricane is moth
ing; the currents of the deep sea are
derided; Iordly and high, Indifferent
to the vicissitudes that assail other
craft. such a ship comes and goes, as
if in accord with all the warning ele-
ments Of the ocean and air.
Such a ship vas the Oregon in
her glorious young days.
When war against Spain was de
clared by the United States, the Ore
gon was sleeping at her mornings in
Puget Sound.
A message was sent that the battle
ship was needed on the Atlantic. Then
the mighty craft reused herself, haul
ed in her anchors, turned her beak to-
ward the deep sea and raced her way
down the long coast line to the straits
of Magellan, through the straits and
up the other side to Bahia.
She needed neither temperature nor
storms; she crashed through the seas
that uplifted their crests to detain her.
She had a mission.
At Bahia the news reached her that
she might meet Cervera's whole tieet,
even then on the way ACROSS the At
lantic. Then the eamen say they
heard strange voices as the wind
swept around her mighty guns, and
the burden seemed to be, "Do not de-
lay me, the Maine is calling to me-"
She swung into Inlet, Florida, and
a few days later took up her position
in the line Of tho Sampson squadron.
What greetings passed between her
and the Iowa, the Massachusetts, the
Texas and the Indiana are not record.
ed, because it was deep sea talk.
But the day of battle came at
length. Then the other ships falter-
ed. The utmost speed of the Brook
lyu was but l6 knots, Of the Iowa but
10 knots, but the Oregon at more than
her trial.trip speed rushed upon the
enemy, all her great guns roaring ex-
ultingly as she ran.
Her thirteen thousand mile voyage
had not wearied her. Clean and fresh
as the day she was launched she took
on her tremendous pace. As the mis-
siles of the enemy hurtled around
and against her, with more fury her
guns responded-she seemed to have
taken on u battle exstacy and never
paused until the last ship Of the beau
tiful Spanish squadron was beached
and alame.
We say sometimes Of men they
were born for the occasion"
The Oregon ia made of steel and
there was no sentiment about her,
