Place.

Philip Doremus, one of the Oldest
residents of Montclair, has completed
his "Reminiscences of Montclair," on

Seymour Crane and Edwin b. Goodell,
as a gift to the people of Montclair, the
proceeds of the sale to be used in some
manner which will promote the public
good, in the discretion of the three
trustees named.
While the application of the pro-
ceeds has not yet been fully deter
mined p it is Mr.. Doremus's pref
erence that they may be used to per-
petuate the memory of those citizens
of Montclair who served in the Civil
War, and his wish in this respect will
be considered binding, and will be
realized as far as the trustees possibly
can.
The volume contains no pages and
gives many interesting facts about the
early settlers of Montclair, and the
old roads; development of industries;
the town stores, Crane & Doremus;
the schoolhouse, with a picture of how
it looked in 1872; the old First Pres
bvterian Church and how it looked in
1897: the doctors, the moral and re-
ligious conditions, that existed; the
Civil War and the part Montclair took
in it, with the anne of many who

ALMOST $50 PER TREE.

S. L. Carson made the statement to
The Tribune man last Wednesday that
he had nine apricot trees in his orchard
from which he has sold $174 worth of
fruit this season, or an average of
$19.a3 per, tree.
This may not sceem like a great deal
at first thought, but when it is known
that an acre of ground will hold l60
apricot trees, it might appeal to one
who is not familiar with the fruit bust
mes. Figuring it at this number of
trees per acre would make the neat
sum of over $4,000 per acre Mr.. Carson
would have received had he had full
acre of apricot trees equally as good II

THOSE FAIR
BLOOMER GIRLS

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
Were you down to the Women's
Rights demonstration at the ball
grounds yesterday afternoon? You
see, along with the right to vote and
such things, the fair sex has acquired
the right to play baseball. The aggre-
cation yesterday came from Boston, or
Indianapolis; it doesn It matter which
both being centers of culture.
Some of them demonstrated their
right to play baseball, especially Liz
zie-Alice Maude, the pitcher, / mean.
She had more names than that, but
they came so thick that I couldn' It
catch them all. She had an awful lot
of brothers present, did that pitcher
girl; at least / suppose they were
brothers because they called her by her
first name, and it would be undue ia
miliarity unless it were brother. She
didn It look like the kind of a girl one
would want to get gay with; she could
throw too straight and too hard. When
she struck out four of our boys in three
innings she pitched, and they were un-
gallant enough to retire to the bench
and it wasn't girl at all, but man
with a wig. OF course they were sore
heads, and the fellows that didn't
strike out all swear he eshe was a girl,
and SO do the bleachers, because they
heard Lizzie Alice Maud etc 3. voice.
The game was witnessed by an en-
thusaistic bunch of Glenwood business
men. The older element were for the
girls to a man. I went to some pains
to make list of these gallant traitors,
and here it is:
On second though have decided to
suppress the list. This out of considera-
t;on for their families and in considera-
tiou of a number of cigars which reach

theirs anyway, because their wives
were in the grand stand. But to re-
sumo the game.
The bleachers was a warm place dur
ing the game. The sun shone hot as =
brisk fire and there was brisk hse
of hot remarks from the assembled
fans. If it hadn't been for an occa-
sional breezy shot by one of the wses
in the bunch, we would have bsksi to

Body Of J. E. Dariant Found

BURIED TOMORROW

From Wednesdays Daily Post.
Yesterday afternoon some boys play
ing on the river bank near the Ten
brook ranch below town discovered
strange object floating around la the
water. Upon closer investigation they
satisfied themselves that it was the
body of human being. Mr.. Ten
brook was notified and he went to the
river and finally succeeded in dragging
the body to the shore.
1t was brought to Glenwood and
placed in the Schwarz morgue, and
word sent to Shoshone as it was at
ONCE suspected that it was the body of
]. E. Darlant, an employe of the Cen
tral Colorado Power company who was
drowned on the afternoon of July 90
while rowing across the river with four
companions. The boat was tipped over
and the men were all thrown into the
river but Darlant was the only one who
could not swim and before help could
reach him he had been carried away by
the undertow.
The company made every effort pos
sible to find the body but were unsuc-
eessful. When the news reached camp
that a body had been found yesterday
n man who knew Darlant well was sent
to Glenwood to identify him, if posi-
Bile.
The body was badly decomposed and
bloated and Identification was difficult
but the man who came flown from sho-
shone was able to identify him by the
clothes and rule and pair of pliers
found in the pockets.
1t was at first reported that Darant
was n married man but it is now claim
ed that he was divorced from his wife
whose address is unknown. 1t is there
fore probable that the body will be
buried in the morning at the expense
of the county. Coroner Clark did not
consider an inquest necessary as the
cause of death is clearly established
without an inquest.

ed used to that, even to the rolly polly
one who covered centre field, and who
once threw the ball as far as thirty
feet all the way to second base. Sew
eral of those girls were ball players,
despite their having a wrong start in
life. If they had been boys from the
beginning they would have made ma
tional league material.
And, while they could not stand up
to the real game such as the Glenwood
Greens are in the habit of putting up,
our boys were very polite, and gave
them fair show. Whenever necessity
compelled them to put out one of the
fair visitors, it was invariably with an
air of saying: "Pardon me, my dear, /
do this not because I like to, but be-
cause it, one of the rules of the
game" One girl actually tried to steal
second. Did Toepfer, who was cover
ing the base reprove her and remind
her that stealing was unladylike? No,
the polite cuss waived all the morality
and ethics at issue, merely touching the
lady gingerly with the sphere and re-
marking: "Tag, your out" Now,
