William Hemingway was brought up
here, Monday by Sheriff Duncan, at
the request of several residents of
Lower Reynolds, by petition repre-
senting that he had become non com
pos mentis and was not proper per-
son to be running at large. Duncan
then had to return for witnesses to
prove the young mans condition End
an examination is being held by the
probate judge this afternoon.
In proof of the friendship existing
between the Indians and the palefaces
of these hunting grounds, the gather
ing of last evening at the Redmen's
wigwam was one of the most successful
and entertaining events of the season.
Save an occasional yell of some over
excited brave, the war dance passed off
peacefully and pleasantly to all con.
cerned. Although the reds we're garbed
the same as palefaces they we're easily
distinguishable from their white BROTH
ers by the smile of welcome and hospi-
tality which held sway over their fea-
lures. Nobody ever accused George
Washington of being Mormon, yet we
swear we could find at least half doz-
en- Martha Washington's in the gay
throng, who, with powdered hair and
gracious demeanor, reminded the reds
of the time when their ancestors were
dominant and happy. A jolly crowd
came from Dewey and enjoyed the Red
mems initial effort, and all we're we'll
pleased and returned home tired and
contented. After two trials of exciting
waltz, the prizes for the best lady and
gentleman waltzers were awarded to
Miss Maggie Caveney and Mr.. John st
Clair, who were heartily applauded by
all present. After the prizes we're
awarded the crowd wended its way to
Mike Rocks restaurant. where a fine
turkey supper was served, and, after
doing full justice to the same, returned
to the hall to "chase the glowing hours
with flying feet' Only at a. m. did
the tom-toms cease and the happy and
tired dancers disperse. The event will
long be remembered by all who we're
there, and we hope the Redmen wont
be reticent in their efforts in that line
again.
1t was great ''cock and bull story"
ome,correspondent from here sent the
Capital News about the union miners,
here and in DeLamar, being so worked
up over the arrest of Meyer and Hey
wood that shifts of work had to be s1s-
pended, and that spy had been dis
covered in the camp who had to be
guarded by peace officers to protect
him from a mob until he could be
hustled out of town. There was moth
ing in the whole fabrication, except
that there was good deal of indigna-
tiop expressed in both camps over the
kidnapping manner of arresting and
hurrying away of the parties from
Denver without giving them an oppor-
tunity to see their families or confer
