these words yelled excitedly. ran as he
had never run before.
The ball rolled long distance before
Jack Bellew could get to- it. In the
interval cheever had raced like a grey
hound TO second base; turned toward
third, and his long and swiftly moving
legs were carrying him at a great pace
toward the third bag.
Every one on the bleachers on the
Sacramento side was standing now and
shouting. With wildly beating hearts
the Stockton players saw Cheever draw
near third; saw him leap into the air
and slide with great force toward
third
Jack Bellew threw the ball, but it
was too late, for Cheever struck the
third bag with the tips of his fingers
just as Billy Buckingham. the third
baseman for Stockton, caught it. But
Cheever was out of Buckingham

He had two sorts of trails, the short
ones, which led to the watering places,
and the salt marshes. Many of the
salt springs-licks they were called

both the local trails and the longer

The destruction of these noble ami
mails is one of the most wanton in the
history of our race. In 10 years, from
1866 to 1875, the work of desolation
went on and at the end there were but
few left
The last herd in Kansas south of
the Arkansas crossed the Arkansas
river in August, 1874. They came up
from the southeast, crossed the river
and the Santa Fe trail a little west
of Fort Dodge. The citizens of the
town of Fort Dodge saw the gallop-
ing host as it approached. watched it
cross the river and then climb the
shallow banks to the rolling plains
and saw them disappear forever from
the plain that had been their home
for ages.
The buffalo has left his marks in
all the region he traversed. for he was
the original road maker. Many of the
most important highways of the coun-
try were first marked out by the in
stinct of the buffalo.

What marvels of base running were
due as an exhibition to Cheever. the
best base runner in the Academic
league.
Jack Wilson stood in the path of
Cheever for an instant; only for an in
slant. Buckingham fumbled the ball a
bit and Cheever was off for home,
bounding toward Wilson like a tiger.
Then came a scene of confusion, of
yells, of tears and cries of anger and
surprise; then silence; for Wilson lay
on his back in the base line, with
blood trickling from a wound in his
forehead; still and so stunned that the
pandemonium of sound from the bleach
ers and the field did not rouse him.

to run Cheever down. The willy Sac
ramentan was too swift for him and
was nearly back to third before the
ball got TO Buckingham again. When
the baseman had the sphere in his
hands, Cheever was racing like the
wind toward Wilson.
Back and forth, three times the play
went on until every one in the base
ball inciosure was stirred with the

Paris, Nov. A new sensation
was added to the trial of Madame
Steinheil late this afternoon when
NJ. Aubin, the prisoners attorney,
suddenly interrupted the proceedings
to present letter just received by
him and signed by Jean Lefevre, -
in which the writer stated he wished
to confess to participation in the
murders of which Madame Steinheil
is accused.
Immediately after reading the let
ter, the attorney suddenly and dra-
matically introduced the writer, a
man about 81 years of age, who in
the meanwhile had succeeded in MAX
ing his way through the crowd in the
court room to a place beside NJ Au-
bin. Amid the greatest of excitement
Jean Lefevre announced that he had
been an accomplice in the assassina-
tion of Adolphe Steinheil and Nine.

into silence, Lefevre continued:

man on yesterday morning deposited
the check at the Grand Valley Ma
tional Bank. 1t was in the usual
way turned over to the Union Trust
& Banking Company, and was
promptly turned down by that bank

Rose had an account there. Mr.
Masterman was notified that he had

Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
Mr.. Masterman furnished the sher-

that Temple had gone to Leadville.
Undersheriff c. II. Wallis took charge
of the case, and in less than an hours
time he had succeeded in having the
officers at Leadville locate Temple,
and before 5 O'Clock Temple was be-
hind the bars of the county Jail at
Leadville.
1t was certainly a quick capture.
1t is just one of the many instances
of the splendid manner in which the
local sheriff's office does business.

because these 603 votes are the first

Carlyle E. Temple, who attracted
much attention in Grand Junction

many personal acquaintance here,
as well as won many admirers by his

Today Board of County Commission

Purpose.-Total Cost of Struc-

Mesa county, through its board OF
county mmissioners, appropriates
S25, 200 TO apply upon the cost OF
erecting Il fine bridge across the
Grand river at the foot of Main street.
connecting the city of Grand Junction
with the rich lands across the river
and giving a direct communication
between the rich country west ana
north of this city and across the river.
This afternoon the board of county
commissioners agreed upon this ap-
preparation and decided to make a
special levy of 2.5 mills to be col
lected in 1909 taxes to meet this ap-
preparation.
While this levy of 25 mills is called
a special levy it is not so in a true
sense as it will be included in the
general levy for 1903.
1t is estimated that the bridge will
cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
The state has appropriated $4,000
for this bridge, now the county ap-
propriates 5000, making a total of
over $4,000 provided for. Now il is
up TO the city and to the several cor
porations and property holders di-
rectly interested to come forward

1t is now practically certain that
work on this bridge will start at an
early date.
The county commissioners today
completed the fixing of the general
tax levy for 1909 and is now at work
on the additional levies, such as
school district levies, that must al
ways be included in the completed
levy statement.
The geenral levy, divided as de-
tailed below, amounts to 1871 mills on
the dollar for 1909. Last year this
general levy amounted to 17.S mills
However the general levy is really
lower than last year for the reason
that i'm this total of 1877 mills is in
cluded the special 20 mills levy for
the Main street bridge. With this
levy not counted the general fund
levy is 10 mills lower than the levy
last year.

tailed as given below and in order to
permit comparisons with the levy of
last year, the last year levies are also
