USED DICE FOR
THIEF BAIT

Last September when the Casey
store at Wayside was robbed, the
affair promised to be a mystery
The looters left behind one cube
of set of green celluloid dice, and
it was the desire of the robbers to
fill out their set which led to the
discovery of the perpetrators. Mr..
Casey left the odd cube in the
showcase and patiently waited for
some one to come in and offer to
buy it.
Young Ben Lohrey came and was
SO anxious to obtain the cube that
he paid 80 cents for it. Lohrey
was followed and the plot invoiv-
ing Lohrey, George O'Donnell and
young Whitesel LAID bare. Whitesel
was discharged, Lohrey sent to
Walla Walla for three years and
ODonnell for four years. Lohrey
has since died.
County Clerk Koontz today re-
turned the property, held as evil
dence in the prosecution, to Mr..
Casey, and Mr.. Casey told the story
of the part played by the little
green dice.

Americas total drink bill, for all

in Lyons in 1871 the printers worked
from two o'clock in the morning till

MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
They Are Held Sacred by Laws Of
Colorado.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Jim" Woodland declares that the
mountain sheep in Colorado is in the
same class as the sacred bull OF India
1t must not be touched, says Woodard.
II the animal is seen browsing upon
the mountain side the gun of the hun
ter must not be pointed in its direction.
The animal therefore may be called
the sacred sheep OF Colorado" There
are not many OF them left, but under
the protection OF the law they are in
creasing every year. There is a band
of them on the hills between Florence
and Victor and Mr.. Woodard has pho
tograph of bunch grazing on hill
side a short distance from Florence.
But for the passage of a law which
heavily fines those who kill this ami
NAL the species would have been ex-
tinct long ago.
A letter received in Mr.. Woodard's
Office recently tells OF the arrest and
conviction OF one Fred Klantzsky for
killing mountain sheep. Klantzsky
was fined 5000 and costs in the county
court at Canon City last Saturday. Tho
costs amounted to $140, and II the ac-
cused man does not settle he will have
long term to serve in the county Jail.
The state game and fish commissioner
Is authority for the statement that
Klantzsky Is an old offender, having
been arrested before for killing noun
tain sheep. It seems that Klantzsky
shoots the animals for profit and not
for pleasure, and that on one occasion
he received $50 for the head of one Of
the sheep.
"Klantzsky Is an old hermit" said
Mr.. Woodland yesterday, land he sent
out word that any game warden that
got him would have to get him dead.
Game Warden w. F. Givens got on his
trail and followed him into an aban-
doned miners tunnel, where he had
taken refuge and gone to sleep. When
the old man woke up he was looking
into the muzzle OF n AS and he made
little resistance, though he tried at first
to reach for his gun."-Denver Repub.

AMERICAN ROAD
ROUTE PROPOSED BETWEEN
ALASKA AND PATAGONIA.
The Dream of Charles M. Pepper,
United States and Pan-Amer-
ican Railway Com
missioner.

Years ago, when Cecil Rhoades was
in the height of his African successes
and was doing more than any other
man to develop the British interests
there, he startled the world by his pro-
posal of a Cape to Cairo railroad, and.
in spite Of the skepticism of most peo-
pie, went steadily ahead with his plans,
and to-day what people then declared
was but wild dream has come very
near being reality.
In this country to-day we hear talk
of an Alaska to Patagonia railroad,
and we think OF it as bit of
romancing, but its protector is just as
much in earnest as was Rhoades in re-
gard to his African continental road,
and he declares he expects to see his
plans realized some day.
The man who is so daring as to sug-
gest such vast enterprise is Mr..

JAPANESE eANTAMs.
Wonderful Types Into Which They
Are Bred


The craze for producing diminutive
fowls has led the fancier outside the
realms OF mere reproduction in minia-
ture of the larger types, says Country
Life in America 1t has resulted in the
actual creation of bantam types which
are individual in character-that
to to say, they do not represent
any larger type. These are called
variety bantams. The ideals in
these cases are purely arbitrary,
and are simply modelled accord
ing to ones ideas OF beauty. Each type
is law unto itself. The peculiar
characteristics Of the different indi-
viduals, or even nations, may thus be
carried into their fancy poultry.
Perhaps no more striking illustra-
ton of this idea could be cited than
the Japanese bantams. What we have
come to understand as Japanese art
clear-cut in it's color combinations
we see carried out in remarkably char
acteristic style in these birds. They
are strikingly distinct from any other
group. One Of the most noticeable
characteristics, giving an immediate
feeling of quaintness, is the extreme
shortness of the legs. A first-class
specimen, indeed, should not show any
limb whatever when walking, delu-
sion which is greatly helped by the
profusion of feather with which the
bird is endowed. The tail is very
largely developed, the feathers stand.

Match Prices Advanced.

Owing to the troubles in Russia the
Austrian manufacturers of matches
find 1t impossible to procure the neces-
sary quantities of Russian poplar wood
with which the so-called Swedish
matches are made.
The largest Austrian match fac
tories have been obliged to reduce
their production on this account. AS.
In addition to this, the cost of other
materials required in the manufacture
of matches has increased and the
workmen demand higher wages than
formerly, all manufacturers have made
an increase of $1.02 per 1000 sacks in
the price Of Swedish matches.-N.
