HoIbrook Happenings
From the Argus.


A few days ago while crossing
the railroad track near the sec
tion-house, James Scorse was
attacked and severely bitten on
the leg by a vicious dog. 1t was
most fortunate for him that a
doctor was on hand at the time.
He Immediately had the wound
dressed and it was at first
thought that no bad results
would follow the bite Later the
wound became painful and badly
swollen, and there was danger of
blood poisoning He is much
better at the present writing and
will most likely suffer no further
trouble. 1t is needles to state
that the dog died a sudden and
violent death, caused by stand
ing in front of a gun when it
went off.
Last Friday night the henhouse
of Mr.. Armbruster was broken
into by some sneakthief and
about eight nice hens were taken.
The lock was pried from the door
casing and so clever was the
work done that the thieves left
no trace as to their identity. The
same night the hen roost OF Loui
Yuck Kee was broken into and
he suffered the loss of about
twenty-five of his fattest fowls.
Whoever done the dirty work
seemed to have known the prem
ises pretty well and was probab-
lv an old timer at the business.
Some day this night prowler will
get caught III the act and there
will be somthing doing.

There has been much favorable
comment on the appointment OF
Judge Sloan to the 2overnOrship
and the newspapers of both par

He is too well known IN this part

1t is reported that the new
style of hat has reached Joseph
city. A young man and his wife
placed an order with an eastern
mail order house, he for a canvas
fishing boat and she for the new
style of ladies' hat. In some
manner the tags became changed
and he got the hat and the wife
got the boat. The joke of the
matter is that he now goes a
fishing in the hat and she wears
the boat on her head. AS neither
one has discovered the error they
are both happy. AS usual, the
lady is the envy of all the other
women in Joseph City.

err profted by his great discovery and
died in comparative poverty.
Womack was born in Kentucky sixty.
six years ego. and with several other
children. his father took him to Col.
orado in the early sixties. The Wo-
macks settled on land on Cripple creek
where they raised cattle. They re-
manned for several years. when thu
elder Womack. with son named vii.
liam. went to Colorado Springs. Rob.
ert Womack! however. believing there
was gold around Cripple Creek. re-
manned there and kept up tireleSs
search for many years. At last his
expectations were realized 1t waa
while riding the range with his broth
er-in-law. Theodore Lowe. that he
found traces of gold in piece az
float rock which he picked up. Inn
mediately Womack sent Lowe, on a
SIX days ride tn Denver Ia have the
rock aSsayed. while he himself went
on with his work ON his return Lowe
piece Of feat rock gave returns Of So50
in gold to the ton.
The two then set out for the place
where Womack found the rock. IN
what Is known now as Poverty gulch.
Just outside the limits of CripDle
Creek. After some years. however.
Lowe gave up the task. but Womaci,
was as persistent as ever. II was not
until January. 1901. that Womack was
finally repaid for all his efforts. Then
he came across the real gold metal ia
what is, now known as the FL Paso
lode of the Gold King property. and
later he struck Il bonanza lode.
Apparently he could not stand pros
perity. for soon after his discovery he
went To Colorado Springs and during
IN alleged spree sold his bonanza for
$500. 1t was during one of these visits
to the Springs that W0mack rode
through the streets brandishing a re-
volver and proclaiming his secret. The
next few days witnessed one of the
biggest rushes to the scene of his dis
covery that the west has ever known.
When he finally came to his senses
and decided TO return to Cripple Creek
Wonack found that the best mining
property had been seized by others.
He succeeded I'm stalking out few
claims. but they proved valueless.
