Hardware Store in His Stomach.

Frank Durga was horn in Hills
dale, Mich, in 1865. Sometime
about twenty years ago he took up
a freak diet of glass, nails, etc, in
fact anything that was not too
large for him to swallow. In an

keys, seventeen horseshoe nails,
four six-penny nails, one fish hook,
fourteen dimes, three nickles, four
ounces of glass, n plate from
jack knife handle, one end from
iolnted rod. The operation C

SECCREGATE
10000 ACRES
Big Canal Proposition on West
Side OF the River Now
Under Way.

A big syndicate, headed by Ar
thur U. Magnan, the well known
Denver fnancier, and the Tuslin
Company, New York operators,
have just filed upon 10000 acres,
which will be probably increased
later on, of the land lying on the
west side of the Platte adjacent
to Saratoga.
All the preliminary work has
been done and surveyors are now
actively engaged in finding the
boundaries preliminary to seggre-
CATION. A canal is to be opened
up to water these lands, taking it's
supply from Jack creek, where a
storage reservoir is to be built in
the Hayden National Forest, with
a capacity of fully $4,000 acre feet.
1t will be remembered by Sun
readers that this enterprise wss
referred to in these columns in
the issue of the Sun for July 9th.
The matter is well under way and
land will soon be selected by the
state. The local representatives
are Green & C%hatterton, and
Charles LIE Van, of Denver, has
promoted the enterprise. C. b.
Sterrett, the local civil engineer,
did the work of surveying and
mapping out the reservoir and
bitches.
This matter has been carried on
very quietly, yet expeditiously. 1t
is well financed and there is every
reason to believe that the canal
will be completed and in opera
ton before some of the older and
larger, though not more important
to the valley, enterprises.

Death Of B. T. Ryan.

Saratoga was much shocked
Tuesday morning to learn of the
sudden death of b. L. Ryan, which
occurred at his ranch thirteen
miles up the river, about 1880 p.
m. Monday evening, of heart fail
ure. The remains we're inferred
at the ranch yesterday afternoon,
and his body was laid to rest be-
side his wife, who preceded him
about eight years.
A delegation of Masons from
the Lodge at this place went up
to attend the funeral. which took
place at the home, Rev. Forde of
ficiating. There was a very fair
attendance of neishbors and
friends from all over the valley,
for he was one of the old timers,
and widely known, and was laid to
rest with simple but impressive
ceremonies befitting the occasion.
B. 7. Ryan served his country
during the civil war for three
years, six months and ten days.
He was a private in Company "E"
LIST Iowa Infantry. which went out
as 80 day men. After his dis
chsrge from that command he at
once raised a company, which was
mustered in as Company M" 7th
Iowa Cavalry, and was elected LIST
lieutenant, in which capacity he
served the entire three years, hav-
ing command of the company dur
ing the last eighteen months of its
service.
He was sent to Fort Laramie
from Omaha in 1868, by General
Meyers, who was the Chief Quar-
termaster, and from Fort Laramie
he was ordered to Fort Steele, and
had charge of the government saw
mill at that place. He afterwards
became machinist for the govern

time James Candlish was govern

He says that they struck ore in
the shaft at a depth of l33 feet,
and are expecting to strike it IN

The Rights Of Fishermen.
Editor The Sun:

Editor Ihe sun:
| note an article in the Observer
of Aug. 10th, purportiug to be
from Il ''Ranchman," who quotes
law like a pettifogger, and reasons
like a democrat. He cites Colora-
do law to cover Wyoming cases,
although | doubt very much if. he
followed a case which arose over
this very question of the rights of
fishermen in Colorado two years
ago. Had he done so he would
have learned that, although the
lower courts decided in favor of
the plaintiff in n trespass case
brought against a fisherman who
entered private property to fish in
a public stream, the supreme court
reversed the decision.
However, the point i'll question
liz, whether an individual or CON-
pany, because of selfish reasons or
otherwise, may legally forbid fish
ermen to pass along the streams
through a ranch and catch there
from trout placed there by the
state, the expense being borne by
the public III general, by virtue of
which they are the property of the
publlc-not to abuse but to use.
Why do we pay taxes to support
a state aud local hatcheries? SO
that the rauchmen who control full
ly ~ percent of the land through
which available trout streams run
may say whether you can or can
not fish in these streams, which
you helped stock? Hardly.
There is no doubt, he this wise
little "ranchman" says, that the re
are a few of the large number OF
fishermen who abuse their prlvi-
leges, and are Il ource of annoy
ance to ranchmen, leaving gates
open and driving through the
meadows. But the ranchmau has
his recourse. A damage suit
would provea wholesome lesson, as
we'll us a warning to others to not
do likewise.
L will venture to say that the
"ranchmau," who evidently does
MT wish to lose an opportunity to
display his learning, knows less
about ranching than railroad law,
and his farming is principally
done in Saratoga.
A Scientific Fisherman.
The Sun gives place to the above
communication, not because it is
necessary to deny anything that
may appear in the Observer, but
because it puts the rights of both
fishermen and ranchmen in a little
clearer light. The article which
appeared in the Sun was prepared
at the instance of one of our most
prminent law makers, and set forth
the facts as he saw them, and AS
they really are.

HOME TALENT VAUDEVILLE
Park Committee Stock Company Cap tivates Audience With Its Clever Work, and Will Present Series
 of Programmes.

Home talent vaudeville made hit in El Centro, Monday night at Holt Opera House. This was one of the most satisfactory entertainments of the year, and was enjoyed by fair sized audience.
 The affair was given by the Park Committee Stock Company for the pur pose of starting a fund to secure a public park for Fl Centro. The move ment was started by the Women's Sec tion of the Ten Thousand Club.
 The programme opened with a sketch, "The First Quarrel" given by Mrs Lotta Scott and E. A. Johnson Despite the embarrassment of belat- ed dropping of the curtain and mcer- tain prompting, the players went through their parts with ease and brought happy climax to the woes which enyeloped them because of a cloudy day in Imperial Valley, where sunshine Is the regulation programme
 Then came the base ball girls, dain- ty and graceful and pretty, with a catchy song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game" that touched resppn- sive chord in the major part of lhf audience, which is given to the ha |

of sitting on the bleachers. The base ball girls were Garnet Davis, Janice Meredith, Abbie Tout, Clara Johnson. Martha Hldebrand, Dixie Williams, Marjorie Paris, Minnie Bell Marshall and Florence Forester.
 Brown and Lange gave black-face character sketches that evoked much merriment, and Miss Janice Meredith captivated her hearers with clever i'm presentations.
 One of the big hits of the evening was the girls chorus presenting "A Charming Fellow" What need to wait for the coming of foreign talent when our own home girls can give such a lively scene, including pretty cos. tunes, bright, sparkling music and an ensemble which calls for encore af- ter encore? The programme modest ly announced these young ladies as "All stars in modern vaudeville" and the audience seemed to agree with this summing up.
 Messrs Ellis, Martin, Hand and Wat. son, whose voices have pleased Fl Centro hearers before, gave some of their best selections, and were "in'' for jollying from their intimate friends, who had lovingly prepared bo- quets of cabbage, turnips, etc, with which to shower the performers.
 A really high-class feature was Miss Garnet Davis's presentation in cos. tune of "Hagar "The delineation of Hagar's passions and emotions as she is driven out from the presence of Alb raham were delicately portrayed, and the climax was a strong one.
 Miss Janice Meredith led a chorus which included the base ball girls and the Misses Helen Pearson, Inez Col Her and Erma Mcclure, in a topical song, "Taffy," that was saccharine.
 Two whistling selections were given by Paul Steintorff, of Calexico, which were thoroughly enjoyed by the al. dience.
 Mrs. Scarpa and Mrs. Irving Jaquay were the piano accompanists and the Fl Centro orchestra gave complete. ness to the programme by it's excel. lent work.
 The first entertainment of the Park Committee Stock Company may be taken as good sample of the pro- grammes the club proposes to pre- sent to the people during the winter and spring. The high standard was a surprise to the hearers, and should prepare the way for a large attend ance at the next attraction given by these young ladies.
