PYR|TES IN
THE STRONG
LETTER CONCERNING DEVELOP
MENTs IN CHIEF CLAIM OF
THE sWIGART GROUP.
Selected Samples of Ore From South
Drift Shows Some Gold and Silver
and twenty-five Per Cent of Cop
per-Weather Conditions Not Fa-
vorable in the Camp.
Leslie. Wyo.. March u. 1906.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Since writing you last the ore body
in the south drift of the 25O-foot level
of the Strong mine has improved both
in size and in quality. The yellow
sulphide has given way to copper
glance. The ore cut March l, a select
sample of it. carried 80 ounce gold,
two ounces silver and 25.6 per cent
copper. That which we are now work.
ing will go higher in copper.
High Grade Pyrites.
A development of much Importance
was made Saturday and today in a
cross-cut which is being run to the
west on the south drift of the 25O-foot
level to determine the width of the
vein. After cutting through a fair
grade of ore for nine feet, a streak
of high grade pyrites and bornite was
cut. At this writing this rich streak
has been opened two feet wide, and
We are not through it. This shows a
vein eleven feet thick at this point,
all fair ore, with ONE of it very good.
Horrid Weather at Leslie.
Weather conditions are simply hor-
rid. We have not seen the sun in a
clear sky since last Thursday, and l
think no one has crossed the range
since Friday evening. There has been
a great deal of snow fallen, but the
wind has blown so persistently first
from one quarter and her another.
and the depth of the snow is hard
to estimate. AS far as we know, stock
has stood it well, but we have seen no
one and heard from no one except the
tw%enty-three persons hat at present
comprise Camp Leslie, and there is
little of promise in the weather condi-
tons today. though 1t is not very cold.

Imboden and James A. Hill, the bank
wreckers, to the Canon City peniten-
tiary, where the two will spend the
next nine or ten years of their lives.
Up to 6 o'clock last night the men re-
tanned hope of lodging the execution
of the sentence. During the afternoon
t1eir attorneys appeared before Chief
Justice Gabbert, asking for a writ of
supersedeas. The chief justice called
the other judges into conference, and
after an hours discussion the petition
was denied. Thus the last hope of the
bankers was destroyed. The men rode
to prison in Il Pullman, and naturally
appeared very much depressed on the
train.

Mrs. C. B. Richie of this city, who

perience she had with a liquor-crazed
man at Corning, and which was writ
ten of by the Republican-Times of that
city. Mrs. Richie says the newspaper
account does not do full justice to the
subject. Not only was she shot at by
the frenzied man, but he held a knife
in his other hand and would have
killed her and other ladies had not
they been fortunate enough to get his
arm in the door and hold him for
nearly half an hour while help came.
Corning Papers Story of Matter.
There was all kinds Of excitement
at Prescott on Thursday evening Of
last week when c. l.. French, who had
until recently been manager of the
Eclipse lumber yards at that place,
came home on No. 10 from Creston
crazed with bad whisky which he had
loaded up on with the evident intent
of doing, when drunk, what he con
templated doing when sober-kill
John KnolIa and possibly his wife,
who was formerly Miss Emma HOLDEN.
From reports, he came home in a
drunken condition and wanted to know
if his wife and aged mother, who lives
with them, would swear to an alibi for
him if he would go and kill John
Knolla. This they refused to do.
Attempted to Break Into House.
He left the house and the wife went
to the residence of DR.. w. A. Brooks,
who lived near by, and notified them,
and soon DR.. Broos and others were
on their way to notify Mr.. Knolla.
The screams of the wife soon brought
French back, and, with threats that
he would kill his wife and DR.. Brooks,
he entered the Brooks yard. In h
house at the time were Mrs. Brooks,
Mrs. e. NJ. Randolph of Prescott, Mrs.
j. S. Randolph OF Corning and her SIS
ter, Mrs. Mary Richie of Laramie,
Wyo., and the faithful wife. The en-
ragged man attempted to break into
the house, declaring he would kill his
wife and others, but in so doing the
ladies, who acted very calmly through
out, prevented his entering by catch
ing his arm in the door just as he was
coming in.
Mrs. Richie Held Pistol.
In his hand was a new model Win
chester revolver, and the weapon was
grabbed by Mrs. Richie, and the mo

d. M. Randolph was seated, holding
her baby. French attempted to fire
again just as Mrs. j.. s.. Randolph
grabbed the gun, and the hammer
came down on her thumb, preventing
an explosion of the cartridge. The
ladies' managed to get the gun and
held the crazed man in the door for
about half an hour, or until help could
arrive. When help arrived the man
was liberated, n no sooner had he
gained admission than he drew a large
dirk knife and again threatened to kill.
In attempting to get the knife away
from him, it was drawn through the
hand of George Swim, who received a
flesh wound.
Burned Way Out of Jail.
French was o~verpowered and taken
to the city Jail and locked up, but the
following morning was gone, it being
reported that he burned his way out
with a stove poker, having burned the
steeple loose and pried the door open,
but this is ]discredited by some, who
claim he had outside assistance The
last seen Of him, and reported, was
by e. Henderson, living about two
miles south Of Prescott, and the man
was then walking south. There are
kinds of reports as to his escape
and the true one may come out later.
1t is said French had a grievance at
and accused him of writing to
the lumber company with which he
was engaged and relating certain
things that caused his (French) dis
missal from the service. Mr.. Knolla
is said to deny writing the letters.
French came to Prescott over a year
ago as manager Of the Eclipse Lum-
Der company.
There is a reward offered for his ar
rest, but up to Friday noon he was
