ANIMAs BRIDGE GOES DOWN.

Pennington Enterprise.
Last Saturday morning, November
81, shortly before noon part Of q herd
OF cattle being driven south, crashed
through the new Animas bridge. The
first span on the north side OF the
river went down and two of the four
one inch truss rods on each of the
two other spans were broken, and
other damage was done. A few of
the younger stock were injured
There were nearly a thousand cat
tie in the herd. George Nash and
William Puckett of Montezuma valley
and were being taken south to winter
pasture. The owners had some local
people help them drive the herd
through Pennington. and had intend.
ed not to cross on the bridge. When
they got to the river the first sec
tion of the herd started up on the
bridge, and they could not be turned
A big bunch of them got on the first
span. Opinions differ as to how many;
some witnesses say as many as 100
head, other witnesses say not more
than 80. They stopped on the first
span, or many of them did. and that
span collapsed. The cattle that were
on the bridge. and did not go down
with 1t, went on across to the other
side and the two truss rods on each
of the other spans were broken.
This is the bridge that was built
by private subscription, and those who
contributed toward building 1t imme-
diately took legal proceedings against
the owners of the cattle. They were
put under bond and their cattle were
attached. They made an offer of $3.50
cash TO pay for the damage done on
the bridge and 1t was accepted after q
few days, and all legal proceedings
were withdrawn. 1t was thought by
some that the damage was greater
than this, but those who had the mat.
ter in charge decided 1t would be bet.
ter to settle the case and get the re
pairs made, rather than spend money
and time in the courts.

ENGLISH BARMAIpS TO STAY


LONDON, Nov 27.-It has been de.
cided that barmaids shall not be OBJ.
liberated from London. This matter
in the house of parliament has been
discussed very seriously for the last
two weeks. 1t seems that the men
who drew up the licensing bill made
more or less a mess of 1t and put In
a clause whereby a local magistrate
could dispense with the service of
women in any public place.
Then the clever men in parliament
saw the ''nigger in the woodpile."
Naturally that clause in the licens-
ing bill went flat and the barmaids
still reign supreme.

scoURoE sEizEs DIETz FARMILY

CHIPPEWA FALLS. Wis, Nov. 2S,
The famous Dietz family, which, for
four years stood off federal, state ard
county officials and finally whipped a
powerful corporation into accepting its
terms, is in danger of extinction by
black diphtheria. One of the Dietz
children was stricken with the disease
last Saturday and died within two
hours. A priest who has just returned
from Cameron Dam says the entire
family is desperately III. but that Dietz
refused to call physician, saying it
is too late.
During Dletz' four years fight with
the Chippewa Falls Lumber and Boom
company. he and his sons, his wife and
daughter had held up millions OF feet
of logs, pending a settlement of his
claims. The company finally paid an
other man $4,000 to get the logs
through and this subeontractor hand
ed Deitz $4,000 to release the logs.
Meanwhile all the courts, state, county
and federal had been invoked. Dep
uty sheriffs had been sent out to
humble Dietz and came limping back
to have the bullets pried out OF them
selves. Dietz, personally, whipped ey-
cry bully employed by the company.
The sons and daughter of Dietz
were crack shots and his wife also
knew how to handle rifle skillfully.

Two of these hunger marchers drew

OldIhSNlllS, ISllll', NAL vi L.
Vaughn Bennett, who was shot Mon
day night in mysterious manner on
the roadside, died yesterday after
noon. Officers are making thor
ough investigation of the affair, but
so far nothing has been given out.
Earl Bennett, who was also shot, still
refuses to answer sSC questions.
Near .Woodford, in this county,
abous sunrise Tuesday morning
Vaughn Bennett, young man of
prominent family. was found lying
n the Trough Spring road, mile
and a half from his home, shot
through the temple, unconscious,
and fatally wounded. One foot was
in the stirrup of his saddle on his
horse, which lay dead beside him. A
few feet away was the dead body of
another horse. Both horses were
shot through the head. Three shot
guns, two double and one single
barrel, were found at the scene of
the tragedy, one leaning against one
of the horses and the others lying in
the road, as if they had been care
lessly dropped. Twelve or fifteen
empty shells were lying just over
the fence nearby. Both the horses
were saddled and one was the prop
erty of Vaughn Bennett. The other
belonged to his father, Henry Ben
nett. The weeds beside the road
were trampled down as if by num-
Der of horses and it is further re-
ported that Bennett, when found,
was masked, but the report could
not be confirmed. Earl Bennett, a
brother of Vaughn Bennett, was
with his brother and was shot
through the arm and shoulder. He
says they were waylaid and shot
from ambush as they were riding
along the road. The shooting is
thought to have occurred about 2
o'clock, as shots were heard about
that time by people in the neighbor-
hood

taken effect near the right eye, and
the other near the right ear. :
