RANCH AND GARDEN PRODUCTS
AT THE COUNTY COMING FAIR

In consideration of tho fact that tho
Arkansas valley contains some OF the
most fertile agricultural land in the
world .hs display of orchard. ranch
and garden products at the forthcom-
Ing exhibition OF tho Fremont County
Fair Association ought to bo especially
interesting and comprehensive.
Outside the horticultural section,
which has always been one of Its dis
tinctive features. the products of the
scdl have not been shown at the fair
on the scale they should have been.
There has been no excuse for this ne
glect and It Is hoped that in the future
there will be no ground for complaint
on this score.
The premiums offered by the Associ
alton In this department have been
made a. liberal as possible with view
OF stimulating generous rivalry among
exhibitors and II IL believed that the
display this year viii be better than
anything of the kind hitherto seen In
this city.
There are many varieties Of grains.
srssses. vegetables. etc.. grown In this
county that are not represented At the

Stepp and a gang of INSCRIPTIONS
companions visited Hoard's shack and
tried to terrorize and intimidate him
by discharging their revolvers and do
ing the war dance a la Comanche In
dian, but Hoard philosophically held
the fort despite the orders he received
to leave the camp without delay
The following morning Hoard sent
down to Canon City and purchased a
small arsenal and since then there has
been sort OF armed truce between the
rival claimants of the property. So
far as can be ascertained Hoard was
the first to stake the claim and by the
law of the camp and by all of the prin-
ciples of equity and justice is entitled
to hold it, 1t is believed that Hoard
has the backing of the better element
of the miners and they will secure to
him his title in the property. Hoard
has arranged to have his claim sur
veyed Thursday and will have 1t re-
corded as provided by the statutes Of
the state. He is determined to protect
his rights at all hazard.

KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION IN
THE GREAT WESTERN COAL MINE
Young Working
Mine at Heathton Yesterday Afternoon.

Between four and five O'Clock Mon
day afternoon Rhyes Alvery Thomas,
of Brookside, young man 19 years of
age. received injuries in the mines of
the Great Western Coal Company at
Heathton from the effects of which he
died in Dr. Graves hospital in this
city about eight hours later.
Deceased was the son of ]. H. Thorn
as of Brookside and was in all respects
a most exemplary young man. AT the
time of the accident he was working
in one of the lower levels of the mine,
certain. the disaster was not his fault
and could not in any wise be attribut-
able to his inexperience as a miner.
A fellow workman in another room,
unconscious of danger. set on a blast
which blew down a part of the parti-
ton wall between the two compart-
ments, resulting in the death of young
Thomas
His left shoulder and arm were
broken and his face, chest and neck
SCARED and torn by the force of the
explosion
The unfortunate young man was
brought here and taken to DR.. Graves
hospital where. everything possible
was done for him, but without avail
He suffered greatly but at no time
was he fully conscious of his sur
roundings, although it is believed that
he was able to recognize his father
after being taken to the hospital.
The time of the funeral and inter
ment, which will be held here. has not
yet been decided upon

WE'RE PASSENGERS ON THE
STEAMER MANCHURIA

Rev. Cyril Ross and wife, the latter
of whom is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Shank of 210 North Sixth
street, were passengers on board the
Pacific Mail steamship Manchuria,
which grounded on a reef of the
northern coast OF Oohu, some twenty
miles from Honolulu, Hawaiian ISL
ands. at daylight last Monday morn
ing.
1t is supposed that Rev. Ross and
wife were taken of without injury by
the rescuing party, although it is prob
able they will lose their baggage II
the vessel goes to pieces. as there
appears grave danger of its doing.
1t will be recalled by most of our
readers that Rev. Ross and wife have
been missionaries of the Presbyterian
church at Suyn-Chuyn, Korea. for sew
eral years and that they were on their
way back to their post of duty when
the wreck occurred.
When the war between Japan and
Russia broke out they were compelled
to leave their missionary work in Ko-
rea and flee to place of safety, as
their station was near the Yalu river,
within the zone Of hostilities. Since
then they have been in the United
States.
1t is conjectured that the recent
earthquake on the west coast of
South America changed the course Of
the ocean currents in the vicinity of
the Hawaiian Islands in such q way
as to force the Manchuria on the reef
which skirts the shores of Oohu-

there IN a more general appreciation
of the value and Importance of making
an exhibit of the products OF the farm
and garden at the fair the agricultural
possibilities of the county will never
be understood by the public.
To a very large extent a county fair
is a museum of its resources, particu-
larly of its animal and vegetable
wealth, and to ignore any Of them is to
minimize the value of the display. No
enterprise can attain the greatest de-
gree of success that is weak in one Of
it's fundamental departments, and until
the Association here is able to con-
vince ranchers. and gardeners of the
necessity of making a more complete
display of the products of the soil at
the fair it will not accomplish the full
scope and purpose of its organization.

Fillmore ran. to Governs saloon and
left there early in the evening. and
started TO return to the scene of the
trouble, hoping to awe the rioters by
a display of his gun.
His approach was greeted with a
volley OF stones and 1t is alleged he
was forced to FIRE into the crowd in
self defense. Layato. who had stabbed
him, was shot three times from Colts
45-calibre revolver. One bullet passed
entirely through the body. just below
the heart cavity, puncturing the bow
els and producing an internal hem
orrhage. Another shot entered the
right side and made its exit through
the back. penetrating the lungs in its
passage. The third ball struck the
left arm near the elbow and shattered
the bone. rendering that member
useless appendage
The shooting of Iayato had n salu-
tary effect on the others and enabled
the officers to make their escape from
the clutches O. the mob.
AS soon as rossible Sheriff Esser
was notified and with several deputies
ambulance was summoned and the five
injured men taken 70 the hospitai
where their wounds were given sur
g,cal attention.
IL was found that puarto's right arm
was shattered from the elbow to the
shoulder from bullet: that Bena-
bides had been slashed on the hands
and wrists with a knife OF some sort.
and that Govern was shot ON tho snr-
face OF the abdomen. causing n flesh
wound. PjImoress INJURIES are serious

plications arise. Berggantz was struck
several times with stones and other

ious.

effects of his wounds. An inquest was
held at Wilson's undertaking parlors
