VARIETY OF news
FROM HARPERS.
BEAN SHlPMENTS-PREPARATlONS FOR
FOURTH OF JULY-CR0PS INJURED
BY COO! NIGHTS.

Harpers, May 17:-Bean shipping
is becoming general. There have
been several hundred crates shipped
from Harpers and Rosemary the
past week. The price is fairly good,
the beans being quoted at $500 per
crate in some of the markets. There
will pe hundreds of crates shipped
this week. We thank the George
town & Western Railroad company
for the part it has taken IN bean
culture and shipment. The express
rates being so high, this company
has offered to give all bean shippers
SOC deduction on each crate shipped,
from the rates charged by the ex-
press company. This is dore simply
to encourage this enterprise and is
kind and generous on the part OF the
WRRCo. think the editor
of THECoUNTY RECORD deserves
some credit for his untiring efforts
and kind words in our behalf In try
ing to encourage this new farming
enterprise. 1 will venture to say that
there will be hundreds of acres OF
truck planted around this town in
1910. Truck raising so far has been
a success and we hope it will con-
tinue so.
MR. A Snipes,t the general freight
agent of the G s W railroad, was in
town a short while last Saturday
looking after the interests Of his
road. He was accompanied by Dr
Boyd of Rosemary.
Mr. VII Andrews of Rosemary is
busily engaged in the completion OF
the race track in the southern part
of town. He expects to have this
and the base ball park ready by the
4th of July. The people OF both
Harpers and Rosemary look forward
to Saturday, the Srd of july as a
red letter day for those little towns.
Messrs z King, W G Camlin and
John Cox caught 4S fine Dream and
redbreast one day last week IN a few
hours. Who can beat this as Usher
men? Look out, boys, the first OF
June will stop your sport, or you
will have to cross the line and fish
in Georgetown county.
The past week of cool nights has
injured the corn and cotton crops

A Great Circus

Ringing Brothers Worlds Great
est Show is to visit Denver on Mon
day July 26, coming this season with
new laurels won at Madison Square
Garden in New York because of the
unprecedented excellence of their per-
formances. 1t is in all respects the
very best circus that was ever organ
lied, and the two performances that
will be given in Denver will be given
exactly as they were presented in
having been made since the season
opened there.
There are no less than seven SEN
sations on the program, any one of
Gus distinction. There are the won
derful Schumann horses which waltz
on their hind legs, drink from large
glasses and roll each other around in
huge beer barrels; elephants that use
the telephone, conversing with each
other over the wire from one end of
the main tent to the other; the thrill
ing double somersaulting automnbile
act, performed by young French
girl; Roblidello, the Mexican wire
wizard; the wonderful Lorch family
Of acrobats and 100 other great acts
that are new to America.
This will be the only opportunity
for the people of Idaho Springs to
see Ringing Brothers's circus, and
probably never again will such an
array of European talent be. seen un-
der one management, as the expense
Of giving such a program is almost
beyond belief.
The parade will be given at 10
O'Clock in the morning and it is an
entirely new spectacle. Elephants and
Llamas driven in teams like horses
and harnessed to ornate tableaux.
The parade will be three miles long
The menagerie, too, is wonderful af-
fair, greatly enlarged and filled with
strange specimens of the animal
world. At the head of the menagerie
is Darwin, the missing link, which
lives in miniature house with win
dows. electric lights, hot water heater
chairs and tables. Darwin eats with
knife and fork. drinks from a bot
tie and shaves himself.

Snavely Claims Pic {.

The following story in reference to
the Big Forty mines that are located
up Chicago Creek and that has large
holdings is reproduced from the Den
yer Post. In addition it is quietly
stated that a clue has been found
and which will be followed up until the
guilty parties are caught If it was
planned with the idea of doing either
physical damage to the mine or bod
lily injury to the men or Mr.. Snave-
ly, then everyone interested in min
ing should endeavor to find the gull
ty and assist in sending him or them
where the bars will restrain such
ton of damage but it is one that in
wolves the integrity of a mining camp
for if persons are taking the law in
to their hands in such instance and
escape they are liable to do so again
with the slightest provocation. 1t is
hoped that there is a mistake about
this being intentional and yet the cir
cumstances point strongly to a pre-
meditated affair.
THE discovery of a hidden box
containing thirty or forty sticks of
dynamite in the heart of the tunnel
of the Big Forty Tunnel & Mining
companys property on Thompson
creek, foiled, so H. c. Eckel of Den
yer believes plot to kill r. NJ. Snave-
ly, president of the company, and
himself.
"It was just by the merest chance
that Snavely decided to inspect the
contents of the box, before throwing
a hammer and other tools into IT.
and this action probably saved the
life of Snavely and two or three men
who were with him.
1.-The Big Forty property has been
in litigation for long time, says H.
C. Eckel, one of the stockholders.
and from the manner and the place
in which that box full of dynamite
sticks was hidden | feel sure some
enemy had planed to kill President
Snavely, myself or anyone else who
might be at work in the mine.
"'It is the custom of President
Snavely, myself and some of the
other stockholders, to do monthly
work in the mine to hold and secure
out rights to the property. Recently
Snavely has worked at certain spot
in the tunnel where he believed the
vein would be uncovered.
ION his last trip up one of the
men who accompanied him uncovered
box hidden beneath a sack and
pile of dirt.
Without investigating further he
sat down on the box and held
light while Snavely drilled. When
Snavely finished work he was about
to throw his tools into the box.
"Maybe I'd better look first and
see what's in it, he said. Then he
scraped the dirt away from the top
of the box and found it filled with
sticks of dynamite
with R. NJ Snavely at the time
were Frank C. Birdsall and Arthur
Snavely Mr.. Eckel was not with the
party on this trip, but he says he
makes frequent visits to the mine to
work in the tunnel and he is con-
fident somebody placed the dynamite
where it was found, planning that
whoever worked in the tunnel might
strike into it and be blown up.

offices in the Exchange building and
