Some Girls ! Know.
Ann talks of culture, long and deep.
Though Ann, indeed, is not magnetic
She talks until fall asleep,
A sort Of gentle Ann esthetic.
OF fair Louise sing. for she's
A dream In bathing suit of blue.
She seemed today a mermaid gay,
And thus l met my water Lou.
There's Anna: she was quite morose.
To melancholia she seemed fated
She married. Now she's quite jocose.
The wedding made her Anna mated.
Sweet Alice causes me to sigh.
She melts my heart that's far from cal.
lous.
Light of my life, she's really my
Most bright aurora borealis.

Mr.. Jones met three tramps this
morning. To the first he gave cents,
to the second 10 cents and to the third
10 cents. What time was it? Do you
all give up? 1t is easy enough to see
that it was a quarter to three.
In the days when Dan Rice was at
the height of his fame as a horseback
rider he rode half score of careering
horses at once. What time was it
then? Going on ten, of course.

GOOD RECORD

Last year the Hartman lines
operated 1850 miles Of rail
roads in the United States and
Mexico without a fatal accident
to a single passenger. This rec
ord is unprecedented in railway
annals of this country. Thelines
referred to are the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific. This
showing is the result of the gen
eral installation OF block signals
and safety devices. These roads
operate more miles OF automatic
block signals than any other road
in the world.

Fred ZwicEer, Living On Castle
Creek. Is Victim of Fatal
Accident
INQUEST HELD IN OREANA
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE PITTMAN
TAKES CHARGE OF BODY WHICH
is INFERRED AT oREANA

On Friday afternoon of last week Fred
zwicker, German stockman living about
eighteen miles from Oreana and near the
headwaters Of Castle creek, met horrible
death when his team ran away throwing
him out Of the wagon and breaking his
neck.
As nearly as can be gotten at the facts
of the accident which ended Mr. Zwicker's s
life, he being alone at the time, is from
the information Of those who found his
lifeless and stiffly frozen body the follow
ing morning. However, some miners
working at the Golden Grown saw the
horses in their mad flight but attached no
Importance to the circumstance, as the
owner Of the fractions team was considered
a very reckless driver. 1t seems he had
been hauling salt out to one of his sheep
camps and after unloading it had reloaded
the wagon with some stakes and started
homeward. One of the Mitchell men was
the first to discover the unfortunate man
Saturday morning. He Immediately gave
the alarm to parties living in the neigh
borhood, who in turn dispatched a mes
senger to Oreana to summon Justice of
Peace Pittman When that official ar
rived with three assistants it was too dark
to hold an inquest, SO the body was taken
to Oreana where jury was empaneled
and verdict was returned, in substance,
that Mr.. Zwicker had met death by being
thrown from the wagon while his team
was running away.
The unfortunate man owns several
hundred head of sheep and number of
horses, and has resided at his ranch out
on Castle creek for many years.
Mr.. Zwicker is thought to have a sister
somewhere in the East, but her address
not being known, no effort was made to
locate her, and Mr.. Pittman had the re-
mains prepared for and buried at Oreana

COME OUT OF It'll

Young man, donot stand yaw-
ming and lounging on the thresh-
old Of a glorious future that is
brim full OF golden opportunities
and mines of untold wealth in it's
hidden recesses, waiting for de-
velopment by an application of
your mind and muscle; pull off
your coat, up with your sleeves,
spit on your hands, take hold
and arouse your energy from its
slothful state and lazy inclina-
tions and win what wealth the
world will yield you, says an ex-
change. The coming years are
big with possibilities and as
chock full OF glorious prospects
as the milky way is strewn with
stars, or the sunny lands with
roses. The way is open to every
one and you are invited to step
in, take your place, act your
part, assume some responsibility,
make your mark and raise such
a dust in the atmosphere around
You that slow-going companions
will lose sight of you and go
about mourning as one dead to
them. There is much you can do
and a great deal you can not do;
but don't get discouraged, for
courage is the secret to fortune.
You may not be able to write a
beautiful poem, a touching SON
net, or die of starvation, but you
can if need be go to work humbly
as a porter, buy a whisk broom,
wear peoples clothes out with it,
and in five years you can go to
Europe in your own private car.
