clipping from the Washington
Evening Star has been sent us from
Washington and we are asked if we
can locate the place and man.
The Star has the following as a
telegram from New York:
When j. c. Carr, one of the veal
thiest ranch owners of Idaho, arrived
with his bride at the Hotel Manhattan
yesterday they found an avalanch of
mail and kilograms, the latter from
coWherders and ranchmen who go to
make up the population of that coun-
try. Mr.. Carr was married in Wash
lngton last Sunday, his bride being a
sister of the wife Of ex-senator Thurs
ton and last night Mrs. Thurston
came over from Washington and join
ed the bridal pair here.
One telegram which caused no end
OF merriment among the bridal party
was from the ranch foreman and was
as follows:
We see you roped her. Hog-tie
her and bring her back to the ranch
as soon as you can, so we can look
her over"
BILL THOMPSON.
There were others equally charac-
teristic, but Mr.. Carr declined to make
their contents public, saying: 81 am
afraid if | let you print these tele-
grams l could never get Mrs. Carr
back to the ranch"
Mr.. Carr owns a ranch in central
Idaho which is ITO miles in length and
80 miles wide. Offhand he could not
say just how many cattle he has
grazing there now, but he was in
clined to believe there are "at least
5000" OF horses he has several hun
dred
Ranch life is the ideal life," Mr..
Carr said, land as you see, l am a
pretty healthy specimen. But l am a
pigmy compared"to some of the SPLEEN
did fellows who work about my place.
When | went West a few years ago l
was 50 delicate a puff of wind would
almost blow me away"
Paradise for Hunters.
Mr. Carr is an ardent sportsman
and talked of the shooting to be had
almost at his door on the ranch.
Just before starting East" he said
Il had some friends visiting ME, and
after an eight-mile ride we had bag
ged two elk, five deer, all the quail
we could eat In week, to say moth
ing OF saddle bag full Of other small

added. but would rather face nj

The reporter the following story
