ing by nature both cheerful and
sympathetic, with generous hospi-
tally aud their latch string always
out, it is easy to see them in their
home surrounded by relatives aud
friends. 1t was in Cairo that their
five children came, and were wei
coined, though it caused them to
lead the strenuous life In 1874
they moved to Columbus Junction,
there to remain for ten wears Bat

the ranch six miles north Of town.
In 1884 he brought his wife and
younger children. arriving on the
first train that broke the snow block

ranch in three feet Of unbroken
snow.
This, till 1898, the year they
moved to GunnIson. remained their
home and became known far and
wide as the abode of hospitality and
generosity. They were among the
pathfnders in raising vegetables
and grain in our section when such
efforts were looked upon as the
height of folly They were largely
instrumental in locating the Paragon

the finest school houses in Colorado.

pie who having joined hands and
hearts and lourDeyed together

milestone, still hale and vigorous,

Golden Wedding Anniversary sur

family aud multitude of warm
hearted friends Yet such was the
occasion of New Years eve. when
the home Of Mr. and Mrs. John s.
Marshall. pioneers of our county,
was filed to overfiowing with in
vited guests.
The residence was beautifully
decorated with green and white and
gold: the green of foliage, the white
of carnations and the gold of wedding
bells and beautiful presents to the
bride and groom. The invitations
had been printed in gold, and even
the place cards for the guests We: e

The minister who united them.
Rev. Wilson Woodruff, of Iowa, is
still living, but was too feeble to an
swer the invitation in person. How
ever, Rev. S. A. Webber, of the
Gunnison Methodist church, assum-
ed his part aud began the joyful oc-
casion by again marrying Mr. John
s Marshall and Miss Ruth J. Smith.
Responses of bride aud groom were
no less earnest and laverlike than
we may suppose thev were on New
Years Eve in 1887, so long ago.
before the war Rev. Webber led
up to the regular ceremony with a
story in original rhyme, in which he
recounted some exploits of the cou-
pie. 1t seems Mrs. Marshall had
been "a school teacher, on the front

boy sought TO escape punishment by
Jumping out of the window, but the
spry young lady teacher promptly
followed him through the window
and brought him back for wallop-

Mr.. Geo. J. Smith, then a boy of
fourteen, was present at the original
wedding. and his enforced absence

regret of the evening Another

COL. PERR|NE
WANTS TO SELL
TRENTON CLUB
Owner of Tri=State League
Team Anxious to Dispose
of Franchise.

TRENTON, June 27.-Colonel Lewis
Perrine, owner of the Trenton Tri-
State baseball team and franchise, has
written to Charles Carpenter, president
of the Tri-State League, to the effect
that the Trenton club and plant are
for sale, and. according to a we'll
founded report. President Carpenter
has been authorized to negotiate the
sale.
1t is stated that Colonel Perrine
would prefer to sell the franchise and
players and lease the field, If the
proper persons could be found to ac-
cept such a proposition.
Continued rain early this season,
combined with the fact that the club
has been losing games more frequently
than 1t has been winning, has caused a
falling off of the attendance fully 81
per cent. from what it was last year.
The result of this decrease is, accord
ing to report, a loss of several o
sand dollars to Colonel Perrine up to
date.
Colonel Perrine has threatened a
number Of times within the past month
to get out of baseball, but he was not
taken seriously until the present nego-
tiations with President Carpenter.

Salt City boys to be taken steadily. The
record for the course is Ism. 53s.
Syracuse Crew Rests.
Syracuse did not go out at all yester-
day, as the work of repairing their
broker shell was not completed at the
Cornell boathouse until last evening.
The Cornell varsity and freshmen
Fights rowed down to Milton and back
last evening, followed by Assistant
Coach Colson in the Syracuse launch.
Afterward Coach Courtney lookout the
varsity four for his last words of in
struction.
Courtney said today that his varsity
crew has made no improvement in he
training here and is no faster than
when the men left Ithaca. He re-
peated what he IA said all along. that
he sees no chance for Cornell to win
the big race, nor the f~our-oared event.
He admits, however, hat his freshmen
are fast and that it will take a mighty
fast crew to beat them.
Program of the Day.
The program of the regatta follows,
the number indicating the courses in
order across the river, beginning at the
west shore:
Varsity four-oared race, 3 p. M; two
miles,, Syracuse; 2, Cornell; 8, Co
lumbia; 4, Pennsylvania.
Freshman eight-oared race, 3:45 p.
M; two miles,, Syracuse; 2, Wiscon-
sin; 3, Pennsylvania; A, Cornell; 5, Co
lumbiaa
VARSITY eight-oaredsrace, 5 p. m; four
pmiles-1, Wisconsin,; ?, Cornell; 3, Penn
%sylvania; 4, Columbia; 5, Syracuse.
The two-mile races will begin one
mile north of the Poughkeepsie bridge
and finish one mile south of the struc-
ture. The four-mile ace will start at
Crum Elbow, three miles north of the
bridge, and finish one mile south of it.
Experts Are Puzzled.
Rarely in the long history of these in
tercollegiate regattas has there been
one in which the rowing experts were
SO widely at variance. Syracuse, Co
lumbia and Pennsylvania were almost
equal faworites, but the other two. Cor
nell and Wisconsin. were not without
their ardent followers.
Dispatches say that a summer sun
beamed brightly, but none too hot,
upon the limpid waters of the broad
Hudson early this morning. A ftful
breeze came lightly out of the north
west and hardly ruffled the surface OF
the river. With every promise OF
weather and water conditions holding,
the coaches indicated that Cornells
record for the four-mile contest of eigh-
teen minutes ffty-three seconds, made
in 1901, might be approached.
Reports from the quarters we're sat
~isfactory, and the coaches declared
themselves content, though Coach
Courtney frankly stated that CornelPs
best time over the course in practise
was nineteen minutes n twenty-sev-
en- seconds, and indicated. as he has
done all along, that he did not believe
this time was fast enough to return
Cornell a winner.
