BARN BURNED.
Heavy Loss From Firing
Tobacco, Tuesday.

A large barn on the farm of At
kins & Ellis, on the Canton Pike,
was burned Tuesday morning, the
fire resulting from firing tobacco.
The crop of 10000 or 1,4O00 pounds
of the early cutting was being cured
up and the dry tobacco caught from
sparks. Nothing could be done to
put out the fire and building and
contents went up in smoke. The
loss will amount to about $4,000.

HOW THE ELK
WAS CAPTURED
Story Of the Successful Trapping
and Subsequent Captivity.
Paonia, Colo. Feb. 6, 1907.

Paonia, Colo, Feb. 6, 1907.
EDITOR DELTA INDEPENDENT:
Several weeks ago George Hammond,
who lives about five miles above
Hotchkiss, reported the presence of an
elk on his place to the Hice boys and
gave them permission to capture him.
Claud Hicc went down and looked the
ground over and from the signs con-
cluded that the animal could be'captuued.
He made several trips and learned the
trails the elk was using and laid his
plans accordingly. First. large corral
of woven wire was built across the
trails, this fence being concealed in the
brush. A gate was put up arranged
with a tri p to operate in such manner
that if the elk should enter the gate
would close behind him. Mr.. Hice
then chose the following named parties
to assist in carrying out the plan:
George Craig. George, G. A. and Bert
Campbell. Ed. Pierce. Curt. Hough.
Elmer Courier. Carl and Lester Hice
and George Hammond. When the elk
found himself trapped he became vic
ious. striking at the fence several
times. but it was built to stay and he
soon concluded that he was up against
it and cooled down. After strengthen
ing their pen the captors went to their
homes for the night.
This was very successful piece of
work and every body is puzzled to under
stand just how it was done. but all
seem to be well pleased and express
their best wishes for the future of the
captive.
A. w. Hice has been trying for sew
eral years to get = male elk as he has d
fine COW that was captured by one of
his boys six years ago. He has an
ideal place for them and can now es-
tablish a permanent park. Large
crowds have been coming to see the big
elk. AS near as we could estimate
about all the horsemen in this part of
the county were present to bring him
home. He was loaded in to large
fruit box and with six saddle horses
hitcneu 10 rope on tne enu OF tne
tongue the triumphal march was begun.
We got him home about l | a. m. and
then the crowds began to arrive. When
turned into the pen prepared for him
he Immediately got on the fight. but
soon became quiet and seemed very well
satisfied. He will be turned with the
COW as soon as he sheds his horns which
will be within the next six weeks.
Are afraid he would fight the COW now
as he is not in the best of humor.
Any one wishing to see this fine
specimen can do so by stopping at the
A. W. Hce ranch. Authorities in Den
yer have been notified SO that no
trouble will come up.
