not be used to finance the growing of
tobacco in the belligerent little Repub-
lie off the eastern coast The company
which was formed to carry ont the
General S scheme has decided to quit
before it begins. Yesterday morning
a petition was filed in the office of the
Territorial Treasurer for the dissolution
and disincorporation of The San Juan
Land aad Development Company, Linn
tied, in pursuance of action taken at
meeting of the stockholders on Au-
gust 81, when they voted to go out Of
business.
| This action was taken probably on
account Of the adverse report of Cll.
Sam Parker, who recently went down
! to Cuba to see for himself what sort
| of scheme he was asked to put his
money into, and who decided that the
beautiful rainbow that the promoter
had painted did not have at its end
the pot of gold that all really success
full financial rainbows should have. Col.
Parker was the heaviest subscriber for
the stock of the company, he taking
900 of the 1850 shares into which the
capital stock of $4,000 was divided.

Last evening the local authorities
were called upon to solvesa problem
which as yet remains a mystery.
About 10 O'Clock in the evening. the
employees Of the Milwaukee depot
lunchroom phoned to the sheriff that.
a rather peculiar acting stranger was
hanging around who had CONE in ON
the freight from the north about s
O'Clock. When he was taken in charge
by the officers the man said his name
was Ned Torerens and that he had
come from R%edfield, this .,eing the
extent of the information the officers
were able to get. Saturday the
stranger did not seem to be any bet
ter and DR.. Warne was called, who
gave it S his opinion that the man
had Ell been drinking heavily or
had besn affected by the sun. The
strange part OF the mans story is that
the train men say that he boarded
the freight train at Woonsocket but
a phone message from there does not
shed any light as to his identity.
When he vas searched no papers cI
letters of any kind we're found on his
person. The laundry in his grip was
marked with the initials j.. X. d. and
also N. 7. 1t is probable that in a dSy
or two the stranger viii SO far re-
cover that it will be possible to send
him home or have him properly tax

such a sum; only lend it to you.
When you shall return to your coun-

debts. In that case, when you meet
with another honest man in similar
distress, you must pay me by lending
this sum to him, enjoining him to dis
charge the debt by a Ike operation.
when he shall be able and shall meet
with another opportunity. 1 hope It

1t has been said that the agents

A year or two before there had been no likelier or more promising young ranchman in the mountains than he; no better rider, no one more active in the roundup" When he wrote home about the grand, free, health-giving ranch life, however, he did not give the other side of the picture-the long hours of loneliness, the low company and squalid accommodations, all com bining to drive him to that ever-ready but treacherous resource, whiskey.
