Gentlemen:-
We have already sent you proof
that we arrived in the Basin" in
fairly good shape. The difference as
you cross the mountain range and
enter the Basin is truly remarkable,
and must be experienced to be APP
preciated. AS we came to the noun
tains snow storm was raging but
fifty miles farther On we entered the
valley of eternal sunshine. Here
conditions are entirely different from
those in old Iowa. We found George
Lass about as busy as anyone could
be. He was negotiating land deal
the first day, making pictures the
next. leasing three thousand acres of
oil land lin which he is interested)
the next. giving moving picture
show the next, and the next took US
to the Great Sheep Canyon, short
ways from Basin. There he is in
terested IN hot spring. which has
greater possibilities than anything we
have seen. The water is the clearest
and purest, one could wish for. and
of temperature just right for hot
plunge.
The Canyon is one of the most
picturesque in America. We climbed
the mountain and looked over the
great mass of rocks to the Big Horn
which flowed through the Canyon
nearly 1900 below where we were
standing. Everything out here is ir
keeping with the natural surround
ings. Everything is done along big
lines, no one thinks of taking or pay
ing pennies. they are no penny people
In the short time we have been here,
we have caught the spirit, and have
already acquired an interest in {

to-day negotiate a lease with al

Wedding Secret Ten Years

Fitchville, Conn, Aug. 1.-Who
says a woman cannot keep a secretY
Here is one who has kept a secret for
ten years, the most important event
of her life, her marriage. Bu6 love
for her husband sealed her lips,
This announcement has Just been
given to the newspapers, first in Nor
witch, then In New London:
MARRIED
Palmer Dawley-On July 6, by the
Rev. j. Chester Hyde, Frank Emer-
erson Palmer Of Fitchsi Vile
and Helen Gay Dawley Of Norwich.
Immediately Mrs. Frances Gay
Dawley, the ''bride's" mother, issued
cards announcing the wedding WED
nesday, July 6.n or course Connecti-
cult is not Missouri, but people here
instead of saying ''show me-" remark
1--WE want to know"
FIND Joker" IN DATE.
Such inquisltive persons at once re-
called that July 6 this year fell on
Monday, mott Wednesday, also that
Rev. ]. Chester Hyde had not been
pastor Of the Quaker Hill Baptist
church since 1904, but has been
preaching in Maine,
So the inquisitive persons quickly
learned that on July 8, 1898, Frank
Emerson Palmer, then q years old,
and Helen Gay Dawley, then 20, jour
neyed by unpretentious trolley car to
| Waterford and were married, mem
bers Of the Rev. MIR, Hyde's household
acting as witnesses.
Scarcely a month before the we'd
ding the brldegroom's father, former
State Senator William Fl. Palmer,
took his second wife. Perhaps the
paternal example stimulated the son
to follow it,
TIME KILLS OBJECTIONS.
Young Palmer's uncles have great
mills at New London, Monticello, and
Fitchville. Their New York office is
SO Leonard street. His family had
objected to the young mans marriage
only because they considered his In
come insufficient to take a wife. Now
all his relatives are reconciled to the
match; such unexampled silence has
won not only their admiration but
their approval
Mrs, Frank Emerson Palmer, Of ex-
cellent family, was a public school
teacher at Norwich, and the funniest
thing is that for ten pears tina inquisi-
tive people who want t. know" have
been watching the husband visit his
wife at her mothers home and saying;
II want t. know when they'll marry

Mexico defeated the Troy baseball
team Sunday in this city by a score of
five to nothing. The game was one Of
best eve played on the local diamond.
Mexico's new team was on the field and
their debut was certainly a decided
hit. The game was marked by many
sensational plays and the fans were
kept keyed to a high polnt.throughout
the game.
For the first five innings neither
team scored. Then In the sixth the
locals marked up two; In the seventh
one and in the eighth two again.
Mexico had thirteen left on bases
while Troy stranded but three. ST.
Vrain gave but n base on balls. The
support given Jimmie was superb
and at no time during the game did
one Of the locals forget what be was
doing and make an error.
The Troy team is considered one Of
the strongest In the Brush league Of
this state. They have defeated the
Palmyra team and others considered
among the best. The new team
Manager Saunders has gathered made
an suspicious opening and they will
win the hearts OF all the "fans."
The following IA the scnre.

Cattle receipts 1900, which included
only 5000 Natives. Most OF those were
medium killing grades; nothing strict
" choice on sale. All steers good
enough TO sell at 1915 or lover, were
fully steady with yesterday; those
coming under that price declined
about 1Oc per cwt. Good, light BUTCH
er helfers sold fully iOc higher than
Yesterday; medium heifers and all
COWS about steady. Veal calves strong;
top s6.75 Supplies Of Stockers and
feeders very small, but under limited
demands it has been hard work to get
steady prices for the small numbers ON
sale.
Southern division receipts will
doubtless decrease during the next
few days, and it looks like a steady
market for all grades Of Natives dur
ing the remainder Of this week, with
possibly some strength in the trade
for choice grades.
Hogs receipts $500; market steady to
SC higher. Tops sold same as yester-
day. 1895 while the bulk Of all the
hogs today sold at So TOTO So 90. Pack
ers are having hard work to break the
market. With shipping demands as
good as they are at present, and with
no more than customary receipts dur
log the remaining four days this week,
a little reaction towards better prices
would not be surprising.
Sheep receipts 5000. A large pro-
portion Of the total were lambs, and
they sold loo lower than yesterday,

FALSE SON DUPEs
Carries Out Deception Though His
Bad Conduct Frequently
Exeites Suspicion Then
Real Son appears.

San Bernardino, Cal Aug. 1.-By
the return Of Jake Kinderman, after
twenty-one years absence, his family
find that they have been made victims
Of an INSCRIPTIONS impostor who Tor
several years has posed as the real
Jake Kinderman, lived at ease, and
disgraced the family name by his
strange conduct. Because they sup
posed he was their son they put up
with him.
The impostor dropped into the FAM
lily six years ago and laid claim to
being the long lost son. He was re-
ceiyed with wide open arms, as he
told a straight story Of his past.
Friends Of the family from far and
near we're invited to meet him. Then
he began to show signs Of q peculiar
nature.
DEVELOPS STRANGE CHARACTERISTICS
He carried two big pistols in his
belt and wore a cowboy hat and cow
hide overalls. He shocked his rela-
tives by applying the position Of
official dog catcher. For months he
rode a big horse chasing dogs. 1t was
made so warm for him that he finally
left, but he reappeared in Pasadena,
where be took the dog catcher's job.
Later be went to Long Beach to catch
CANNES After that he drifted into
Arizona, and six months ago returned
here, being given another welcome by
the parents. For several months he
has been missing.
This morning a stalwart young man
called at the Kinderman home. He
was In the navy blue.
"I'm your own son, Jake; don't you
know me, mother? be exclaimed, as his
parents opened the door.
Mrs. Kinderman caught one glimpse
Of the mans honest eyes, heard his
voice and tainted. The sailor carried
her into the house while his father,
sisters, and brothers swarmed about
him, not knowing who he was
nor whether he would better be placed
under arrest.
FAMILY FIND REAL SON.
"JakeI Jake! " cried the overjoyed
mother. She revived, and In an in
slant the entire family was about him,
completely carried away with JOY al
his return.
How the impostor became possessed
of the information which made 1t SC
easy for him to set at rest all fears al
to his identity is a mystery to the
real Jake Kinderman, though it IL
certain that the two men must have
met, probably in some foreign land,
during the w~anderings Of the real
Jake Kinderman.
When the real Jake ran away with
Joe Rubidoux they followed a circus
Then Kinderman Joined the navy and
for eighteen years has served Uncle
Sam. He fought for his country al
Manila. He was seized with o desire
to know the fate Of his family an6
started for home on leave Of absence
He will return to the navy for a three
years enlistment, and when that ii
served be will be retired.
