PUNKIN PIE.

About the time the Atlantic
Monthly was celebrating the fact
that she was so years of age, an
other old lady of Boston was like
wise quietly observing her fiftieth
anniversary of usefulness. This was
Miss Teresa Mcdonald. and in those
so years she has been the author of
7SS,40O puddings, the composer of
100000 doughnuts, and the poet
of $4,000 pies. II was reported in
the press that goodly portion OF
those pies (which would, IL laid lend

SAYS AGENT
KNOCKED HIM

Independent expressmen are
fighting a losing battle with the Pa
cific Transfer Co. in spite of the
fact that two agents of the latter
have been arrested for violating
the city ordinance regulating the
solicitation of business at the de-
pots. The Pacific Transfer Co. is
said to be paying the railroad ST.
500 per year for a monopoly on the
express and baggage hauling from
the depot, but the independents are
of the opinion that the transfer
company is really owned by the
railway company. The latest in
stance of the preference shown at
the depot is given by 2. R.
Downen as follows:
"In this fight | have seen a great
many raw things happen, but the
rawest to my knowledge occurred
to me this morning. While driving
to the G. N. depot was hailed by
man and asked to haul two trunks
from the n. P. to the G. n. depot.
When we drove up to the n. +.
depot the baggage master asked me
what the number of my license
was, a question he repeats every
time | go there. After had
shown my number he said the
trunks were not there, and also
asked my customer if he owned
the trunks. When told yes, the bag
gage master ignored me entirely
and handed the man the checks
given to me, telling him there was
only one transfer company in town
that the railroad would transfer out
on, and then said to me, You know
they won't check out on yours, and
closed the door in my face. That
cut me out of the job and pay for
what trouble | had been to. An
N. P. detective and regular pa
trolman were there to see justice
done to the expressmen, of course.

sition to bar out the independents"

DEATH OF A
POPULAR italian
From Wed esday's Daily Post.

From Wednesdays Daily Post.
Not unexpected was the death
of Celesti Preti, which occurre l
at 40 this morning at his ranch
home near Silt.
Mr.. Preti has suffered the past
two years from miners consump-
tion, and for the past several
weeks he failed rapidly and the
end has been daily expected.
The deceased has lived on a
ranch in the Antlers country for
the past 10 years and has taken
an active interest in the develop
ment of that splendid section.
He was a stakeholder in the
Farmers Irrigation company, ami
for many years member of the
board of directors and it was
largely through his aggressive
work that so much has been done
on the big Antlers dam.
He was a relative Of Pete Dapro
of this place and was one of the
most popular of the Italian citi-
zens of Garfield county.
The body will be brought to
'Glenwood this evening and inter
ment will take place in Rosebud
cemetery tomorrow.
