LUMBER IN ABUNDANCE.

Manager Humphrey Williams of the
Gilpin Lumber company, reports that
the business of the company was
never so prosperous as at the pres
ent time. He complains that on ac-
count of the shortage of good lum-
ber in Denver, many of the cars ship
ped to this camp from the company's
mill In South Boulder canon, have
been held up at Denver and sold
there. At the present time he is re-
ceiving sufficient lumber and dimen-
sion timber to fill the needs of the
camp. In addition to their own pro-
duct, which is cut and dressed in
the county, they carry complete
line of window sash, doors, hard wood
flooring and trimming. Lumber in
carload lots or less will receive the
prompt attention of Manager Williams
at all times. Thanking our patrons
and the public for the business Of
the past year and with best wishes
to all for the coming new year. we
are. Yours for business.

SLAYER OF JOSEPH WATERS
GUILTY OF MANSLAuGHTEF

The woman who shot and killed
Joseph Waters, who was buried here
a few weeks ago, has had her trial
at Grand junction. The murder oc-
CURED in October The murderess,
Mrs. Lulu Rehkugler, was tried be-
fore Judge Shackelford and the jury
after five hours deliberation return
ed a verdict of voluntary manslaugh-
ter. A sentence of from one to ten
years will be pronounced, the court
waiting until after Christmas to an
nounce punishment.
Mrs. Rehkugler was present when
the verdict was returned, but her won
derful composure was not affected
in the slightest. She refused to make
any statement, except to her attor-
neys, and she is said to be pleased
that more serious penalty was not
imposed.
According to the Grand junction
Sentinel, the arguments in the case
were brilliant and eloquent. Each
counsel pictured vividly theory Of
the affair designed to infer the guilt
or innocense of the defendant.
The defense asserted that Mrs.
Rehkugler defended her honor and
physical safety when she killed Wat
ers, while District Attorney Charles
worth. in a masterful depletion Of
the sad results of a lawless love,
eloquently urged the conviction Of
the prisoner for murder in the first
degree. He cited the familiar picture
of Cleopatra who kissed the pale face
of her dead Antony as striking
example of an infatuation which he
declared the defendant held for her
victim.

DESERVES YOUR PATRONAGE.

AT this season Of the year it is
fitting to give thanks for the pros
perity that has been ours during the
past year. This, our twelfth year in
business, has proved to be the great
est in the history of our firm, and
has been brought about by serving
our patrons only the best that the
market affords in the way of meats,
poultry, provisions, fresh fruits and
vegetables. For the Christmas trade
We handled one ton of Nebraska corn
fed turkeys, beside fatted geese,
ducks, etc. All our meats are eastern
corn-fed; We will not handle beef
that is locally killed, believing that
our patrons desire the best that can
be had, so confine ourselves to corn
fed beef and milk-fed veal. From a
sanitary standpoint, together with up
to-date equipment, our market is the
peer of any market in this western
country. We carry in stock a fine
line of fancy quality canned goods of
the choicest brands Fresh fish, oys-
ters and game in season. We cater to
the most exacting customers and
know that we can serve all most sat
isfactorily. With best wishes for
good health and prosperity for the

making a total tonnage fer the past
year of 52,925, having a total value

ed at Rollmsville. The gold obtained
by amalgamation at the local mills is
