Every UOuy III RUSSELL Is Talking

of incorporating and getting the crys-
tai fluid as soon as possible A
committee Of live ones-C. A. Wag-

Hugh Williams, John Mellow and D.

their undivided attention.
There will be a dance at Zancan-
ella hall Saturday evening. Everyone
is cordially invited.
Tomorrow evening the ball team
will give concert and dance in the
Odd Fellows hall. Attend and en-
courage the boys. They need the
money as much as Russell needs the
ball team.
County Commissioner John Stevens
accompanied Evan Williams to Den
yer Saturday morning and placed the
old fellow in St. Anthony's hospital.
His condition was precarious and he
died the next day after his arrival
in Denver. The remains were brought
to Russell yesterday morning and
were inferred in the Russell Gulch
cemetery. Williams was "a years of
age and had lived in this vicinity a
long time.
Miss Alice Wagner Will go to Cen
trail to look after the office of Supt.
Of Schools, Francis C. Mayhew, dur
ing the illness of the latter. Miss
Wagner will be in the office on the
regular days that Mrs. Mayhem re-
ceives teachers and visitors.
Miss Kate Stevens of Nevada has
been visiting her sister, Mrs. D. E.
Sherer the past week.
! D.E.Sherer has placed a most sub
stantial fence around his front and
back yards and is building a good
sized coal shed. He is going to have
his house painted and get everything
in readiness for the new water sys-
, TEN.
]. H.Chellew is going to erect a
large chicken house near his barn
and will embark in the egg business.
This coming winter he will be in a
position to furnish the residents of
Russell with the choicest of hen
fruit.
The Russell Gulch ball team played
Silver Plume at the latter place Sun
| day and was trimmed to the tune of
9 to 10. A return game with Silver
Plume will be played on the local
grounds Sunday. This will be the last
of the series of three games. Russell
won the first and the Plume team the
second. 1t promises to be hotly con.
, tested.
]. H. Chellew's bay horse which he
bought from party on Peck Flat
has gone all to pieces, as he ex-
presses it. He is either going to sell
it back to the fellow who sold it to
him or else give it a tonic to build
up its constitution.
A meeting was held in the Odd
Fellows hall Tuesday evening for the
purpose Of determining the feeling of
the people Of this vicinity in regard
to the incorporation of the town; a!so
the consideration of procuring a
water supply. The purpose is to Sc
cure the St. Mary chain of lakes at
the head of Fall river and pipe the
water into the county and distribute
it to Nevada and Russell. The meet
ing was largely attended. 1t was pre-
sided over by ]. Byron. The subjects
up for consideration were gone into
thoroughly by several speakers and
the sentiment of all present was most
favorable for Incorporating as the
first move to floating the bonds
necessary for procuring the water.
There seems TO doubt that the pro-
ject will be consummated within the
next year and Russell and Nevada
will become the leading camps of the
county. A committee of six was ap-
pointed to take the necessary steps
looking to the incorporation of the
town. The Observer Is not in a posi-
tion at this time to give this most
important movement the space it de-
serves, but will+give the details in full
as soon as the promoters Of the pro-
ject have matters arranged to give
