The failure of the official score
keeper of the Gilpin Mines team to
get his copy and notes to the printer
in time, is responsible for the brief
mention We make of the base ball
game, played in Idaho Springs last
Sunday. The Miners lost by the same
score as the week before-6 to 3.
Ike Bolsinger pitched for the home
boys, and with the exception of the
first inning, when four runs were
scored by the Springs team, pitch
ed pretty game. The four runs in
the first inning were scored on bone
head plays by the two fields. Ike
famed twelve of the Springers, while
Wilson, Of the Idaho team, made
eighteen OF the Miners fan the
breezes. Frank Schmidt, for the
Miners, was easily the whole show.
Neither team showed a player who
was anywhere near Franks equal on
Sunday. A few sensational catches
in the field, and four hits, one for
three bags, were among his brilliant
playing.

Hair
FaMng?

You certainly cannot lose
your hair and keep it, too.
Which shall it be? Lose?
Then do nothing. Keep?
Then use Ayers Hair Vigor.
That is about all there Is to
it. Ayers Hair Vigor is also
a splendid hair-dressing and
hair-tonic. 1t keeps the hair
soft and smooth and greatly
promotes its growth. 1t does
not color the hair. Consult
your doctor freely. Doctors
are studying these hair
questions much more than
in former days.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-That Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw. wife of the slayer of Stanford White, the mother of a twenty-one months old baby boy, is a rumor that has gained wide cur rency in this cit. and furnished the New York newspapers with theme for almost unlimited gossip. The an nouncement came from sources known to be constantly in close touch with Mrs. Thaw and it was further an nounced that the beautiful ex-actress would again take up her work on the stage or in the field of art,
 These rumors have not been con firmed by Mrs. Thaw, whose where abouts are not known. From Pitts burg comes the statement from Rog- CT O'Mara, for years private detee- tives of the Thaws. that the story IS untrue H is denied by Clarence J.. Shearn, Harry Thaw's attorney.
 The announcement that Mrs. Thaw had determined 10 demand payment on checks aggregating s15,OOO. for the sake of her boy" came as sen sation such as Broadway has not ex- perienced in years. The report came .from an authoritative source that the chorus girl wife of Thaw, whose

Then with the blunt point of his faithf;ll old fuse cutter he engraved in awkward characters, the word Sanders"
 By this time the afternoon was spent. He walked into their little cabin and laid the specimen proudly down upon the rude table and then came out and sat down ih tie gloam ing by the side of his companion and they talked and planned, but they talked of home and frienGs, and sis ters and mothers and sweethearts, more than of gold for there seemed to be an indefinable shadow upon their hearts, and they pledged what each would do for the other, Snould he alone return to the world of life ana light and love, and their hands for the first time since they met. were grasping each other with their pledge when a few fatal shots blazed forth, d few black forms sprang forward like partners and the Apacne's knife followed the Apache's bullet to two brave hearts.

 The child was born in Hamburg. Germany, the story goes, a little less than a year after the last test of Thaw's sanity. in July and August, 1909. During the last sanity hearing Thaw was allowed exceptional per. sonal freedom. He was gwen prae. tically unlimited opportunity for per. sonal association with his family in the comfortable quarters allotted to his use in the county jail
 That was the last time Evelyn Thaw saw her husband. In the year following neither came into the pub. lie eye. Evelyn went to Germany. to study art, it was said. She lived quietly with friends at Hamburg. In the spring of 1910. he infant arrived according to report.
 Evelyn Thaw, the story goes, now has three 5000 checks upon which payment has been stopped. One was signed by Thaw and the other two by relatives of Thaw. These checks Evelyn hopes to have honored, and with the money thus obtained cut loose forever from the Thaw family.

out of camp, visited his lind and re- turned with specimens, though he said nothing of it at the time. as the party included about 300 and he could not afford 10 divide.
 Several times Sanders thought his golden secret was out. but the party moved down 10 Lower Salt river, where he suddenly quit them and went to Phoenix, the party going over 10 Pinto creek and down to Picket Post, disbanded.
 Revisits HIS Find
 Sanders first disclosed his liscov- cry and exhibited his specimens 10 w. A. Holmes tHunkydory HOlmesj at Picket Post or Pinal ranch. shs.By after the Miner party disEanded. liul- mes having been Q member Of that party at this time. Sanders explain ed to Holmes why he quit he Miner party when he did; he thought the party had designs on his mine and he wanted to be along with them. San ders also told Holmes that when he visited his find from Oak Springs he made the round trip in a day.
 The final effort Of Sanders to re turn to his find was made from Fort Mcdowell about six weeks after the Miner party disbanded II had been his constant dream for two long years During the time he was compelled to remain in the army he was beset by constant dread lest his treasure should be discovered. Then the pres ence of the Miner party in the Sierra Anchas, was an agonizins ordeal. and at times he almost wished that he had never discovered tn golden temPter which had made fife miser- able for two years. and as subsequent events demonstrated eventually lured him 10 a cruel death. but at last he was ready to return. Eve. ything he had looked upon for years seemed to be gold plated. and now in company with three other men he starts from Mcdowell toward the rising sun.
 At old camp Reno they were met by a company of soldiers from Apache The soldiers tried to prevail on the little party 10 return back as the ln- dians were numerous and dangerous in that section. At last two of the party returned to Mcdowell. while Sanders and one companion proceed ed on the fatal journey. This was the last ever seen of Sanders or his companion. A party from Phoenix followed them three weeks later and traced them as far as Walnut Springs about seven miles north of Pete Bacon's ranch on upper Salt River at the foot of the Sierra AucEas range
 Imagination alone can supply the tragic interval from the day when Sanders and his companion parted with their friends at Ren3, till, side by side, and cold in death, the fever ish phantom of gold had ceased to haunt their brains. We can see them as they neared the scene which has so long been pictured in tieir hearts. The statement made in later years by an Indian who was a boy at the time Sanders was last seen will guide us to sound conclusion. m the light of that statement We can follow them tO-the end.
 End Moy Be Guessed
 When we left them tEey are at Walnut Springs. One shUr, day lies between them and the object of their lives. Will they reach it alive? Yes
