Man ls Rescued After Eight Days in
the Woods-His Brother 10
Probably Dead.

Santa Barbara, Cal.-Wandering in
the last stages of exhaustion on the
edge of the Sisquoo ranch in the Santa
Barbara mountains, Genaro Fernandez
was found by vaqueros. Eight days be-
fore he and his brother Daniel started
from Maricopa without blankets on
foot &c cross the range.
Daniel Fernandez could not keep up
under the diet of acorns. grass and
herbs which they had to resort to
when they got lost, and probably is
dead. Realizing both of them must
perish If they stayed together, Dam

in search of help. A searching party
has gone out from Santa Maria in
an effort to find the missing man. The
parents OF the two live at No. 144

Going to Bakersfield for railroad
work. they decided to go to Santa
Barbara. Genaro said they were in

Be of Encouraging Nature

Grand Junction, Colo.-Oil and gas
in considerable quantity have been
discovered near Redyale, San Miguel
county, in we'll drilled for artesian
water. The discovery was made at a
depth of $50 feet. The prospects are
splendid for a new oil field.
More than 10000 acres have been
filed upon as oil land and the rush
continues. A company has been formed
practically with unlimited capital,
headed by Chaloner B. Schley OF
Colorado Springs and Bulkeley' Wells
of Telluride to develop the field on a
large scale.
The new field is located on the line
of the much-talked of North and South
railroad between Albuquerque and
Grand Junction. Its nearest railroad
point at this time is Placerville, on the
Denver and Rio Grande, fifty miles
away.
While the existence of oil in the
basin" has long been predicted by
biologists, surface indications, such as
appear in many other fields are wholly
lacking, making the recent discovery
wholly unexpected.
A new boiler and other machinery
have been ordered and are on the way
to the field.

Citizens to Aid Civil Authorities.

Trinidad.-The removal of the state
armed force from the strike district of
southern Colorado has led to concert
ed action on the part of the citizens
of Las Animas and Huerfano counties

One hundred and thirteen citizens of
this community who have pledged
themselves to policy of law and the
suppression of disorder and lawless-
ness, and for the protection of life and
property, have been mustered in as
members of company of the Colorado
National Guard. This company of citi-
zens is to be known as troop A, and

Furnish Road Draes to Farmers.

Denver-State Highway Commits
sioner T. j. Ehrhart announced that
the state will pay half the cost Of
split,log drage to all counties which
will furnish these drags free to farm
ers and others pledging themselves to
use the same on their roads. This
action followed the strong impression
made on the highway commission by
the d. Ward King method of road
building, as demonstrated at the King
road rallies held at Castle Rock, Lit
tleton, Golden, Denver, Brighton,
Loveland. Greeley, Fort Morgan, Fort
Collins and Cheyenne. Governor Am
mons was regular attendant at the
meetings and enthusiastically endorses
the system. Hundreds of farmers
have already pledged themselves to
use the drags, and as result it is
predicted that the roads in this sec
tion OF the state will be rapidly revo-
lutionized, just as this Missouri farm
er's method transformed dirt roads OF
Iowa and a dozen other states at prac-
tiCally no expense.

existing in America, said:
In no other place the world over

reason is that our laTs regulating
