Golf Notes.

Chevy Chase men, as rule make a
poor showing on the Columbia course, no
matter how well they play on their home
greens. They may have Col Boyle
backed Off the map and par looking too
high, but as soon as they drive of the
first tee on the Columbia course they
begin to fall down. The reason is not
hard to find. The Chevy Chase course
is wider for one thing. and a player who
hooks or slices isn't penalized by his own
act TO such an extent as on Columbia
where the rough Is very rough indeed
and where there Is always patch OF
woods or an unusually difficult hazard
waiting to swallow up the ball
Tuckerman was about the only CHEVY
Chase entry to do anything much in the
handicap. His 70 gross, 73 net WAS
made yesterday morning too when a
three-quarter gale was blowing across
the course.

best local golfers didn't think we'll enough
Of their play to post the cards.

He reports that after penetrating

the drills cut through two seams of
good coal; another stratum of sand
stone was cut. then about two feet of
coal. and another stratum of sandstone.
Then followed vein carrying fully
seven feet thick of coal. and the drill
had not passed out of the coal when
Mr.. Pierce left the mine.
Mrs. Hollister, who owns the control

SLICED HIS COMPANION

Three or four Mexican laborers who
blew into town owing to the cold snap,
proceeded to tank up at the saloons anc
get quarrelsome. While they were jab-
boring in front of the Columbia hotel,
Monday eve about dusk, one of them
drew knife or razor and slashed his
erstwhile enemy across the left side
just below the arm pit, the blade, cut
ting through the clothing and opening
the flesh and muscles to the ribs in a
long ugly cash. While the wounded
man was being cared for by county
physician Bsugh, City Marshall Dunn.
and Deputy Sheriff Tug, proceeded to
round up the guilty parties. Two of
them were found on train that just
pulled in. The man whom Dunn APP
preached had his hand in his pocket and
when seized, the hand was found to
hold razor. Mr.. Tug took his man
without giving him any chance for
action. Later third man was landed
in Jail where they will be confined a
waiting the result of the knife wound.
There were witnesses of the affair and
it seems there will be no difficulty in
proving who committed the crime. The
man is at the county hospital. |
The first night he was so drunk that he
tore the bandages off of the wound and |
was in bad way in the morning The |
whole crowd was fighting drunk. There
seems to have been lot of temperance
preached in Shoshone just be-
fore election and this was one of them.

was refused, and he gave as his reason
for refusing the fact that the land in
the Hagernan Valley had but commend

within the next year or two. "And be-
sides" said Mr.. Bell, eff l sold out

What other business could one, engage

And the increase in the value of the
lands in the Hagerman Valley for the
past few years is nothing as compared

A striking illustration of how rapidly

Mr.. Bell stated that he came here
from Kansas seven years ago and
bought bis present farm of 240 acres

with his two sons on the place clearing
It and getting it under cultivation. AT
present they have upwards of 100 acres
