existed--and has the confidence of every
one. Mr.. Don has had some little little
experience with fire companies and can
couple onto plug about as quick as the
next man, and he gets there too-if he
cant on his feet, he rolls as was evidenc-
ed Saturday evening when he took a
header and rolled to the plug, getting
the water on by the time the nozzle men
had connected up their apparatus.
Now that the company is organized it
is to be hoped that the interest will not
be allowed to lag. The city has good
fire apparatus and the water system is
in excellent shape, and with little prac.
tise fire could be handled with ease,
and if two fires, both of which nearly
wiped out the business section of Wal

A Hard Ride.

Saturday evening, August Gath, Sup
ervisor H. n Wheeler, of the Medicine
Bow reserve, who was in Walden look
lug after reserve business, and Ranger
Newton Bellairs, received word of a
fire in Estes Park, and started out that
evening at 0 80 to ride over and put it
out.
They rode as far as the John Kimmons
ranch that night, and rs it was too dark
to distinguish the road they rolled up In
their macintoshes in n hay stack, leav-
ing early Sunday morning. They rode
all day Sunday and Sunday night. reach
ing the place where the fire was started
Monday morning about, 80 to find
that the fire had been eXtinguished.
The distance covered was over 10
miles and through a pretty rough coun
try, and is a pretty good sample of the
manner in which competent forest Of
ficials attend to duty.

emy and the apparent running OF some
one to cover, started Timbrel. and Mos
on the run to save Davis life, if he was
not alraady riddled with bullets. The
sound of the firing reused the whole
town and some twenty or thirty men
armed to the teeth made n hot foot to
the river, intending to annihilate every
camper in the vicinity, but before the
rescuers got to camp they met Davis and
his party starting back for town. 1t
seems that porcupine had appeared at
the camp just as Davis and his men ar
rived and all except Norm opened fire
on the beast, hence the shooting, and
the threats made the day before at once
conveyed the impression to Walden that
the men were making good their threats
and it is certain that had they harmed
a hair on Norm's head, there would Mt
have been enough of that camping party
left to make decent burial

It Looked Serious.

A party of campers-alfalfa toughs-
stopped at the Michigan bridge near the
pump house last week, and, after com
ing up town imbibed considerable Wal
den straight cut after which they start
ed to do the town to q bright vermillion.
Marshall Davis, when they began to get
obstreperous, collared two of the ring
leaders, who had made threats that they
intended to eat the marshal skin and all
besides puncturing his anatomy full of
holes with more or less hot lead, and
put them in the cooler to reflect on the
way of the transgressor. Saturday
morning two fire eaters were brought
into the police court and the one who
had clamored most loudly for hunk of
the marshal was given $25 and costs and
his partner was given $40 and costs. As
S13 was about the size of their pile they
asked the marshal to accompany them
to their camp to see if the balance of the
party would not dig up rather than let
them lay it out in Jail, so Marshal Davis
went down with them.
AS the threats to kill Davis had been
quite loud j. c. Timbrel and Frank Mos

after Davis to see that no harm came to
him. When the latter two gentlemen
were half way to the camp, a veritable

first place there are only a few
months in the year that the streets
need sprinkling, and as the sprink-
ling plugs are only in part Of the
town they do its citizens very lit
tie good. Those who live near them
use them very little and those who

The Shortest Day.

Last Sunday, December 2, was IL
day in the year.
From now until the first Of January
there will be very little difference IN
the length Of the days. They ars,
in fact, losing at one end and gaining
at the other. When it comes to the
mathematical question as TO whether
today or tomorrow is shortest, 4
develops that it will be about jan
uary 10 before Old Sol. as any prop
erly behaved sun should do at this
time Of the year, actually begins 70
rise a little earlier and set little
later on any specific day.
The sun really sets the earliest fruu
December S to December IL, when Il
goes down at 4:5S o'clock From
December II it gains little in TIE
evening. but loses more in the morn-
ing.
The time is generally computed il
this connection on basis of minutes
although to be exact there must he
variation of a few seconds either
way. Those who desire to spend the
time may figure out the problem from
the following: Today the sun risss
at 7:1s and sets at 4:45; on the zstA
IL rises at 7:1S and sets at 4:4s; On
the 2sth it rises at 7;1S and sets a.
446; on the 3Oth it rises at 7:1s and
sets at 4:46; and on tn Sist it rises
at 7:1s and sets at 4:i7.
Thus it will be seen that the sun
one day gains in the morning and
loses in the evening. AT other
times it rises at the same time as
the day before and sets little later
