Deadwood - Following numerous
warnings of prosecution, Forest Super

ional forset, has taken the initiative
in preventing sheepmen from grazing

herder near Cold Creek, employed by
William Mexican of Newcastle, Wyo.
Matson was brought to this city and
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Moore and held in $500 bail
for the federal court here next month.
Matson was arrested for violating
the federal statute providing against
the grazing of shee on the reserves,
According to the supervisor, he was
driven from the reserve four times
before he was arrested and since July
over 10000 sheep have been driven
OF the reserve. Both herders and
owners have been notified that the
forestry officials are determined to
uphold the law pending the appeal
OF the sheep owners to the Washing
ton authorities to be permitted to

CLAY COUNTY DITCH.

VermilliOn-Property owners along
the Vermillion river north towards
Centeryille have hit upon a scheme
for carrying OF surplus water and
draining a large area of land that
is now almost worthless. They plan
to build a mammoth ditch running
alongside Of the river, to be from 90
to 100 feet wide and about II feet
in depth. This will run for several
miles. and it is believed will be far
more efficient than making an attempt
TO straighten the river or building
laterals. Work on the auxiliary will
be started just as o as the county
board can regulate benefits and dam
ages and make an assessment.

MANAGER LYLE
LOSES An EVE
Enthusiasm for HIS FavogitD
and Popular Sport lbs
Cost Him Dearly
PURELY An ACCIDENT

While participating in a practice polo
game on the grounds of the Glenwood
Country club just south of Glenwood
Tuesday evening F. A. H. Lyle. general
oanager of the ilenw0oi Light ard
Water company and the Glenwood Hot
Springs company and one Of the best
polo players in tn. state met with an
accident which cost him lis left eye
and it was feared for lime that the
skull might be fractured but Fortunate
ly this fear proved groundless.
1t is not known just exactly how tie
accident occurred but it is known that
Lyle and Tom Baxter were chasing .
ball across the field, their horses going
at lively tilt when Baxter prepared to
strike the ball terrific blow not know.
ing that Lyle would attempt to strike
it. Lyle leaned far out from his horse
and struck at the ball just as Baxter
made fierce pass at it.
Just what happened and how it hap
pened will probably never be known.
One version has it that Baxter's mallet
struck Lyle's stick and followed up
this to the eye while another report
has it that Baxter's mallet head few
off of the handle, the head striking
Lyle in the eye. The fact is, however,
Mr.. Lyle was badly stunned and by
automobile was brought to the Glen
wood sanitarium and DR.. E. F. j.
Schmitz was quickly called. 1t was
soon found that the eye was lost, the
eyeball being cut entirely across so that
the lens and iris were exposed.
DIR. J. Clyde Smith, the specialist,
was soon sent for and he stitched up
the eyeball in the hope that that may
be saved but it was plain from the frs,
that it will be impossible to save the
sight of that eye
OF course the affair was purely an
accident but very unfortunate one
and Mr.. Lyle's many friends deeply
regret that after scoring such signal
victories in his favorite sport he should
be barred from further enjoyment
though this dreadful accident.
At the present Mr.. Lyle is recovering
nicely and, except for unexpected com
plications, will soon be able to appear
on the streets.

While Visiting His Brother, AL Allen
in a Fit Of Dementia Ends
His Own Life With Gun
NO CAUSE ASSIGNED FOR ACT

They walked down stairs and into the
kitchen and had not been there but a
few minutes when they heard shot.
Rushing through the house and out
on the lawn they found the poor man
they had so recently left, lying on the
grass unconscious while a 3S caliber
revolver lying by his lifeless hand and
an ugly wound back of the right ear
told too plainly the story CT mis- own des-
tructiOn. The body was carried into
the house and a physician summoned
but before he arrived the life had pass
ed out and the mystery of AL Allen 's
tragic end had been sealed.
The man was neat and tidy in his
appearance, had no one. to take care of
but himself, was in easy circumstances
and had his pockets full of money at
the time of his death. Why he took
his life is mystery and will probably
remain so till the end of time. Wash
Allen says he is unable to explain it
although he noticed on the way out
from Glenwood that his brother was not
in his normal mental condition and he
IS now satisfied that the brother was
suffering from some form of dementia
which rendered him irresponsible.
Deceased was in his 5sth year and
unmarried. He was Mason. an Elk
and Woodman. The body will be
shipped this evening from Farnum 's
parlors to Leadville for interment in

during the past six years through the

great Gunnison tunnel the first flow
of water for the thousands of thirsty
acres of fruit and farming land that
will be watered by the project.
But there was little or nothing in the
way of ceremony to mark the final
success of one of the greatest engineer

waiting were yet to elapse before the

more successfully than they have been

Senator Gore spread in an hour, and
the blind senator was soon discussed
from one end of the country to the
other as a lawmaker who spurned q
bribe of $4,000 and possibly $50, 900,
and who threatened to bring the bribe
offer and other alleged malefactors to

secured a desired change in one Of the

contracts. And what Is more, both

Death by His own hand ... INN N
Our citizens were shocked to hear
on Thursd, v afternoon that Wash

at tho bath house northwest of town
bnt a little inquiry soon proved that
the report was true.
AL Allen has for the past 90 years
been familiar figure in Leadville where
rying mail from the railroad depot to
the postoffice. His contract expired the
first of this month and he sold his team
and wagon to his successor and came
down to Glenwood, presumably intend
ing to rest here for some time before
taking up any other Fine of work. He
reached Glenwood Wednesday night
and took room at the Hotel Glenwood.
Wednesday he met his brother Wash
on the street and got into the buggy
and rode down home with him.
On the way down Wash Allen told
his brother he wanted him to stay down
here and make long visit and take
a good rest for he was sure the lower
altitude would do him good as he had
been living up among the clouds too
long.
He noticed that his brother made no
answer to his suggestions and finally he
asked him if he were not feeling well
and the brother said he was not but
did not discuss his condition further
than to say that he felt badly knock
ed out.
Wash assured him that he would soon
feel all right but 10 this there was no
reply. When they reached Mr.. Allen 3
home the brother aIighted from the
buggy and had taken but step or two
toward the honse when he fell to the
ground in faint. He was finally re-
vived but he seemed to have difficulty
in realizing what had happened to him.
He was then taken to the house but
soon had another fainting spell. Mr.
Allen took him to his room and had
him lie down, telling him that when
dinner was ready he would call him
Mr.. Allen expressed his fondness for
new beans which he was told would be
served for dinner and appeared quite
cheerful when his brother and his uncle,
John McAlester left him, promising to
call him when the meal was ready.
