SUMMER FICTION.
BY BERTON BRALEY.

X X X x x X X x X X X X
Away with the fiction
That's touted so much
For breathless depletion
OF action and such;
Away with the novel
or sadness and sights,
OF gloom in a hovel
Where everyone dies.
Away with the story
OF problems and sex.
OF love transitory
And homes that are wrecks;
It's time for romances
OF summer again.
OF shy maiden glances
And manly young men.
We don't want excitement
or any such thing.
But books that are light. meant
For hammock and swing;
So love stories gentle
We read as we laze;
We're all sentimental
In midsummer days.

MAN HELD UP

A genuine holdup was reported
Tuesday evening. c. L. Spear who
resides with his family at the Floyd
house was the victim. Spear is work
ing night shift at the Frontenac mine.
While on his way to work at about
four O'Clock, he was accosted by two
men on the trail who asked him for
a. drink. He compiled by offering to
share the contents of a mason jar
OF water which he had in his bucket.
They then ordered him into an empty
shaft house where they compelled
him to sit down, while they devoMed
the contents of his bucket Not sat
irsfied with eating his supper, they
searched his pockets, taking what
money he had and his tobacco, etc.
Spear returned to town, reporting the
holdup to the authorities
One of the men is about feet
eleven, weighing in the neighborhood
OF 100 pounds He wore a. black soft
hat and corduroy suit, dark complex
was smaller, about feet seven, light
.er complexion, smooth shaven, dark
soft hat, wearing a suit of mixed
color. The scene of the holdup was
a short distance above where the
road crosses the gulch to go to the
Frontenac mine.
After robbing Spear, they ordered
him to keep quiet, while they made
their getaway. They took the trail
for about 200 yards when they struck
off into the timber. Sheriff Gundy
and Marshal Launder, accompanied
by Spear, drove to Idaho Springs to
try to capture the holdups With the
assistance of the marshal of that
place, they searched the .rooming
houses and saloons, but failed to find
anyone whom Spear could identify as
the ones who did the job. After a
vain search, the officers returned
at three o'clock yesterday morning.

Nearly five years have elapsed
since many Of the owners Of valuable

NEW RULING OF
v. s. LAND OFFICE.

Parties proving up ON claims can
have thir notices published in any
paper in the county which they may
designate, irrespective of politics, &C.
cording to an announcement made
by c.. ID. Ford, register of the U. g..
Republicans have been i'm control Of
the national government, these no
tees have been published in the Re-
publican papers, and requests of
claimants that they be published in
Democratic papers have been ignored.
Time and again, claimants have in
formed the Observer that they de-
sired these notices printed in this
paper, but the register of the land
office would not hear to a Demo-
cratic paper receiving any of this
business, regardless of the fact that
the claimants had to pay for the
printing and as a matter of right,
should have been given the power of
patroniZing the Democratic news
papers should they have SO desired.
The national administration now
being Democratic, the register of the
land office, no doubt, has concluded
that he had better act fair i'm the
matter of publications. While the reg
lister himself may still be a Repub-
lican, and will hold the office for a
short time, until his successor is APP
pointed, he is now under the direc-
tion of Democrats and is not the
whole thing, so to speak.
So in the future, should amy claim
ants desire their publications to be
published in the Observer, just make
that request of the register and IL 1t
is not complied with, notify the OBJ
server and we will take the matter
up with the administration In Wash
