A spleen from a COW or bull weighs about two pounds. but is little more spongy than the pigs spleen, which is the best If some one should start the fashion we would after awhile pay 75 cents a portion in first class restau- rants, especially if some person of mark should start the habit.-Chef Va lere Braguehais in Letter to New York Tribune.

Peaches In Black Canon.

Mrs. VIM. Artibee was a caller at
the INDEPENDENT Office Wednesday
and brought branches from the peach
trees on their place and that of Henry
Adams, a near neighbor. that were
well filled with promising fruit. The
Artibee, Adams and o. Palmer places
are located three miles above the state
bridge on the south side of the river in
Black canon. There is only little
nook, comparatively speaking, but it is
choice ground and if there is spot on
earth where fruit is safe every year it
is in the Black canon.
Mrs. Artibee says their orchard is
young yet and not much can be ex-
pected of it until the trees are older.
Their neighbor. Henry Adams, has five
acres of fruit that will bear heavy and
will even have to thin his peaches. The
same condition prevails on Mr.. o. Pal
mer's place and both he and Mr.. Adams
will have abundant crops of peaches,
cherries, plums and pears.
The peach tree branches brought in
by Mrs. Artibee and exhibited in the
INDEPENDENT 5 window. bear eloquent
testimony of the reliability of Black
canon for raising fruit every year.

Death Camas" Kills Cattle.

Thomas Mutt and Adam Thomas.
Montrose county cattle men, lost 1853
head of cattle due to their eating what
DR.. Glover of the Agricultural College
calls Death Camas" and which he
states is the deadliest foliage plant
known He says an animal will die
within 80 minutes to an hour after cat
ing it.
Nuts cattle were on the range in
the Blue country beyond Cimmaron,
while those of Thomas were on the
Horscfy range.
The Montrose County Cattle and
Horse Growers Assn. sent for DR..
Lamb, state veterinary and DR.. Glover.
These authorities have laid the blame
to this Death Camas" plant which the
Montrose Enterprise describes as fol-
lows:
1.-THE plant grows in spots, and in or
dinary years it is not eaten by stock,
as the grass is liked better, but this
year the plant has come out thrivingly.
and the grass is very backward. hence
the poisoning. The plant will dry up
and die in a couple or three weeks, and
is then harmless.
The growth is now about foot to
fourteen inches high. The root is a
bulb like young onion and looks very
much like fresh, small table onion,
and the tops look just little like the
onion tops, excepting that they are not
hollow, but when cut in cross section,
present the appearance of the letter
"V," something like the Yucca plant.
The blossom is a small, seedy, yellow
ish affair. something like the blossom
on the onion, only not 80 broadened, but
going up to a point. The plant shoots
up five or Six blades, with the central
stem bearing the one blossom. DR..
Glover says the root of the plant ia
very deadly and kills both man and
beast, one bulb containing enough poi
son to kill five or six men. The top
isn't 80 poisonous, but 1t is strong
enough 80 that few nips kills strong
animal"

The Olathe..DeIta Ball Game.

The base ball editor has just returned
from Athletic Park. on the hill, where
the Maroons and Olathe are for the
second time this year trying their
strength. We simply couldn't stand it
any longer and were forced TO leave.
How people could sit in the grand stand
and see the Delta boys actually running
themselves to death. IS beyond the
range of our understanding. We be-
lieve there is a conspiracy between
Olathe and Montrose whereby Delta is
to be killed off running bases in this
game so that the deciding game between
Montrose and Delta will never be
played. If the Maroons can stand that
9th inning, when seven scores were
chased in across home plate. they are
good for most any ordeal.
LATER-Never heard tell of anything
like it before. The Maroons are sure
enough sprinters as we'll as wielders of
the willow and say they are fresh as
daisies after scoring % times while the
Olathe team did it twice. We thought
the Olathe fellows could play ball but
it seems there must have been mis-
