Condition at the Tilton Ranch.

A letter from Mr.. Tilton to Mr..
McKillip on a matter of business
contains some interesting infor-
nation about the big gorge at his
ranch. We print part of it as fol-
lows:
1--WE are in a pretty sad plight
this morning. The river proper
is packed with ice for over a mile
and that causes the water, ice and
timber to come out over the mead
ow. There are three streams as
large as the Plat running between
the house and river. Yesterday
afternoon there was a gorge that
flowed through these channels for
three hours, another came in the
night at 11:30 and lasted until
after two o'clock. The water came
up into the yard and cakes of ice
came into the chicken house,
drowning chickens, which is the
only stock that we lost--Saturday
I put all the stock back on the
hill. My bridges and fences are
swept away and it looks now as
though the ice and water would
cut channels through the meadow.
[ have phoned to Geo. Arnold and
he and Bert Reynolds and others
are coming with powder and are
going to try to dynamite the ice
out of the channel of the river,
the ice there seems to be frozen to
the bottom. There is ice packed

10 feet and over a quarter mile in
width, it looks like the ice fields

years and have never seer any

Friends of the opera singer said
that the real reason behind the suit
was differences between the couple
because Nine. Schumann-Heink

over her husbands objections. Rapp,
a former Chicago newspaper man, is
now living in New York. Nine. Schu-
