flock Of birds visited Silverton Satur
day night, having resemblance OF
our valley doves, but different In
many ways. Mr.. McCabe says they
were flying around like mad as though
lost and trying to devise some WAY
of getting out of the country.
Any farmer who wants a strong,

Lloyd C. Sheets and w. A. Perry
returned last evening from a hard trim
to the Valliceto. They left here Z
O'Clock Saturday morning with two
teams carrying 100000 trout. They
were twelve hours en- route, GET
ting stuck half a dozen times in the
mud, making it necessary to double up
to get out. Yesterday it was cold
and stormy and fire felt good when
they returned to town. When they get
some of the trout on the end of their
line few years hence they will forget
all about the hardship.
Judge and Mrs. Adair Wilson depart
ed this morning for California points
by way of Denver. The judge has
been in Colorado nearly forty years,
the greater part of that time in the
San Juan country. An active life and
the weight of years have told on him
and he goes to the coast hoping to i'm
prove his failing health. He will
spend the greater part of his time in
Redding and San Francisco. His
many friends all over the state sin
cerely trust he will return this fall
with his old time vigor.
A Gunnison pioneer says that the
kind Of weather we have been having
this spring comes but once in thirty
years; that the spring of 1877 was just
like this one. On May 12, 1877, the
writer landed in Hinsdale county and
there was no such weather as we are
having at the present time. To the
best Of my recollection the weather
was fine. There was quite a snow
storm at Del Norte on the first OF May
and in consequence the party laid over
there several days, but after that the
weather was as fine as could be
wished.
small crowd attended the races at
the fair ground yesterday. There was
an exhibition drive by DR.. Likes with
Baisdens colt Cold Deck This was
the first time the colt had been tried
out and he will prove a conner is the
opinion of all who saw him. The run
ming race between Pagosa Springs
horse and Andy Chitwood's Buttons
was won by the former and between
Kid Walker and Frank Peek was won
by the Kid, Frank Peck going lame.
The harness race between Pat and Ar
rowpine was wone by Pat. Wood &
Morgan brought their horses In from
the ranch especially for this event
and to help the drum corps out with
its suit money.
The impression has gone out among
many that the men who have been
subpoenaed to appear before the
United States grand jury in Denver
this month are guilty of crime. The
facts are that the men in question
have simply been subpoenaed to ap-
pear and tell what they know regard
ing coal and land entries and If it Is
found by their testimony that fraud
has been committed indictments will
no doubt follow. The Herald believes
the government is engaged in a good
work in ferreting out fraud and put
ting stop to timber. coal and land
depredations, at the same time many
innocent people are caused much an
noyance and expense In order to ferret
out on accosional guilty individual
