thriving Western State. His flowers

the old gentleman were seldom In agree
ment Mike would DO what he thought
best for his beloved plants. regardless
Of orders, and consequently had been
discharged two or three times every
week during the many years Of his en-
cumbency.
At last really serious rupture oc-
Cured, and the old gentleman and Mike
parted company in good earnest. each

at being rid Of the other.

but tender hand that had cared for

Selecting from the numerous replies

wrote and appointed an immediate in

The old gentleman FASTENED out on

Sunday morning she conveyed the in
telligence to her lover that she was
going to visit her uncle In the Hynds-
yer community. and would likely only
be accompanied BY her two brothers,
aged 10 and II years. This news was
sufficient for the young man and he
made preparations accordingly. He
came to Dresden and procured the nee
essary license. He then secured the
services Of ". W. House. Esq, a bosom
friend Of his, and posted him near the
roadside where the wagon was to pass.
At the hour of 10 the wagon came roll

As 1t passed a certain point he came
out Of tins bushes, halted It and reach

seeing what was about to happen,
whipped up the mules to make them
pull out Of the way, but the young
American had taken the precaution to
build q rail fence Just across the road
in front and swung onto the wagon
with all his strength and the team
soon came to q standstill. He seized
the girl with both arms around the
waist. while the brothers hung onto
her feet. but like all lovers in such
cases he pulled her loose and they

Land Frauds In Colorado.

DENVER, May 9.-That conspiracy
was fostered with the object of wrong
fully obtaining several thousands of
acres of very valuable timber land
from the government: that titles were
acquired through false filings by in.
eligible entrymen, and that persons
were induced to settle on the claims
and make mock attempts at violations
of the provisions of the homestead act
are the chief allegations which form
the basis of two bills of equity filed in
the federal court here yesterday ask.
ing to have set aside the patents to
land titles held by the New Mexico
Lumber company. The timber pro-
perties claimed by the lumber COM
panies are situat in Archuleta coun.
ty, Col and the value is placed at
$50, 900. In the complaint the court is
asked to make the different persons
who filed claims on the lands made

Woo Growers Should Organize.

OMAHA, May lO.-As au outcome Of
the chaotic condition attending the
market OF the spring wool crop, a
movement ha, betn started by capi-
talists rud woollnen, headed by Jacob
Holtz, Il wealthy Omaha wool buyer,
for the organization OF a large asso-
citation of wool growers and wool
buyers, with The object OF securing a
more stable market and getting a bet
ter price FOR the producer. In Wyom-
ing and the other states of the north
west great diss abstraction is expressed
each year over the present method OF
IN marketing the crop.
A million-dollar organization is
contemplated, which would build large
warehouses for the storage Of the crop,
and it is believed that in this way a
more stable and steady market will be
obt aimed. At present almost the entire
raw wool product ofiWyoming, Idaho,
Montana, Colorado and Utah is
shipped through Omaha to eastern
manufacturers and wool buyers who
are alleged to be now attempting to
arbitrarily control prices without re.
gard to the great demand for the pro-
duct.
Jacob Holtz says: "The present
trouble is all due to the antigua ated
system in use. Wool growers should
take a lesson from Australi II wool
growers will form a company with a
million dollars capital Omaha capi.
talists will furnish ten millions to e.
nance the moving of their wool clip.
