thought to myself right then, that I'D
hate to be the man to pop the question
to either of them if / didn't want to
get deal on my hands right there and
then.
Some girls say that marriage never
entered their mind, well maybe it
diden't because it's been there all the
time. There's not much use Of fel-
low being bachelor in this country, if
he has any inclination to "splice" and
then the thing will be helped along by
the young woman, if she knows the
man is in earnest. Giving the devil his
dues all along the line the thought of
an old maid sitting in the corner snuff
ing ashes with cat as her company,
looms up in the distance Of the minds
vision. Most of them say they never low
ed and never was loved, very apt an
swer to question on that point from
the male sex, but there are never
many true believers of such stuff, be-
cause it is not woman's nature to be
unkind and not loving, when an old
maid gets past redemption into the
realms of a mans love, the Lord for
give her dreary and desolate life.

GOOD ROADS.

One of the main questions billed for
discussion at the Farmers Institute on

At that time unless all signs fail, the
roads will be so bad that many will
fail to get here. At any rate every
member of the Fiscal Court and every
other progressive citizen should attend.

B0UGHTH0RSES
From the probable murd-
erers Of the Emigrant
and his son---W ebber
can identify them

1t transpires that T. E. Webber
recently purchased a span of
horses of three men who were GO
ing east through Walcott. The
men were strangers, and Mr..
Webber had never seen them be-
fore. The authorities have sent
for the horses to be brought in, as
they ere the property of the
murdered emigrant and, in all
probability, the men who sold
them were the men who commit
ed the terrible deed.
MI. Weber has a good impress
sion of the men and if they are
caught he will undoubtedly be
able to identify them. This will
be a very strong link in the evil
dence that will eventually be
forged around them which will
probably deprive them of their
lives at the states expense.

seven cars of beef cattle for the
Denver market. They loaded out
of Walcott yesterday morning.
The Denver market is drawing
more and more from this valley
each year, which shows if we had
direct communication by means
of a road through North Park near
ly all of the cattle shipped from
this valley would be sent to that
place.

so The PEOPLE may KNOW
To the Editor of the SUM-

To the Editor Of the SUM-
1 am sorry to say Taylor and Sisson make
many mistakes about the fight the evening of the 18th inst. Besides,
there have been many lies told IS we'll.
In the first place, the fight was no fake. In the second place,
they say that Edwards lay down in the third round and he WAS
knocked out in the second round.
In the third place, there was a vote taken in the hall to see
where the money should go, to the school fund or not, and all that
was in favor of that motion should say 81" and there was not one
that said 81" and the contrary "no" and there was half or more said
mo" And now as to the satisfaction of the people, it makes no diff
ference, because the consent of the city mayor, d. E. Wimsor, was
asked by w. F. Webb, and he consented for the fight, and the con-
sent of the city marshal, G. S. Taylor, was asked by Edwards and my
self, and he consented to the fight.
And the agreement with Jensen was that he should get Is per
cent of all the gate receipts for the hall rent, and according to Jen-
sens statement there was S9 25 in all taken in. out of which I got
Is per cent and Jensen 25 per cent. So you may see the only trouble
was that the Platte Valley and Saratoga is blessed with 8 many
crooks that they can't be still, and the result is that they have a kick
coming. j. A. RENFRo.

Burlington Coming.

"The Burlington railroad will
pass through Encampment on its
way to Denver, and it is coming
this way at the rate of about a
mile each day from the northern
part of the state"
This is the statement of a man
who was in town this week and
who claimed to be quoting the
words of the big contractor who is
now putting in the line through
Big Horn county.
1t has been rumored for some
time that the Burlington intended
to make north and south connec-
tions with Denver, and it's survey
ors have been through this Sec
ton recently, which gives color to
the report. Encampment is d.
rectly on the line between Denver
and the place where the Burling-
ton is now building, near Their
mopolis, and this is the natural
route from there to Denver. 1t is
more than probable that the above
statement is correct. - Encamp-

Bodies Of Man and Boy
Found at Creston Iden-
titled by Charles Pat

and Son.

Yesterday Engineer Patterson
was in the city and positively
identified from description the re-
mains of the man and boy found
dead at Creston, as the bodies of
Archie Irvine and son of Cestoes.
Oklahoma. The elder Irvine was
a brother-in-l law of Mrs. Charles
Patterson, and the two were on
their return to Oklahoma, with
two teams and a wagon and light
buggy.
The Irvines had been spending
the winter in Baker City, Oregon,
on account of Mrs. Irvine's health.
They passed through here Over
land last fall on their way from
Oklahoma to Oregon. On their
return it was decided to send Mrs.
Irvine by rail, while the father
and son drove back overland.
The first thing that aroused Mr.
Patterson's suspicious was a letter
from Mrs. Irvine asking him what
was the cause of her husband and
son being delayed, that she had
heard nothing from them for some
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irvine and family
at one time lived near Dannebrog,
Neb, and we're we'll known in that

A MOUNTAIN
OF COPPER
Biggest Copper Prospect
Known is Bought by
Eastern Financiers 80
To be Developed Ex-
tensively.

No more important mining deal
has been made in the Encamp-
ment district this year than the
sale of the Ak-sar-ben property,
\ which is about to be completed
through the efforts and negotia-
tions of James 81. Kyner, of
Washington, D. C.
The Ak-sar- ben is the we'll
known property on French creek,
which is famous for the great
magnitude of it's mineral CROP
pings. The Ak-sar-ben Copper
Mining company was organized
some time ago to develop the
property, but the organization was
not strongly enough financed to
handle the proposition success
fully and the effort on their part
has finally been abandoned, with
the result that it is now passing
into the hands of a strong COM
pany of eastern capitalists, who
will be able to do as extensive ex-
ploration and development as may
be required.
It is understood that the terms
of the sale provide for the full
protection of all purchasers of
treasury stock in the old company,
of whom there are but few, and
the old company will surrender its
charter and go out of existence.
Mr.. Kyner has gone east to COM
plete the organization of the new
company and the transfer of the
property. The new company will
include men of ample means to
open up the property very thor
oughly, which from all appear
ances means that they will open
one of the biggest copper mines in
the country. The plans of the
purchasers are to pay the price of
the property, organization expen-
ses, and put at least ten thousand
dollars in the treasury before they
sell a share of treasury stock.
The first move toward mining
will be the installation of a steam
power plant of machinery heavy
enough to sink 500 feet, put up
shaft house and other buildings
and get in supplies for a long
a of work, all before snow
falls, which will permit work to
be carried on uninterruptedly all
winter.
The Ak-sar-be group is located
near the New Rambler mine and
consists of nine claims covering
$500 feet of the ledge cropping,
laterally. 1t has the most enor-
o outcrop of decomposed iron,
known as bog iron, gossan, or Ii
monte, over found in this or any
other district SO far as is known.
Its width is no place less than 200
feet wide and at some points, SO
far as can be determined through
the wash, it is fully twice that
distance across it. Copper shows
in some places on the surface and
as it is the identical formation
