JOE HEAvEMRIDGE
GETS hsLETTER FROM
JAMES WhIICUMB RILEY

Years ago Joe Heayenridge used to
go to school at the little old country
school house so well known to the
boys and girls of generation or two
ago.
Among Mr.. Hcayenridge's play
mates was James whitcomb Riley. the
beloved poet and observation-disclosures of
childhood pranks and pleasure.
Mr.. Heavenridgc, who is a prosper
GUS rancher. and a wit of the first
water. has just recently received a
letter from Riley.
In part the poet says: ''of course
l remember you and the happy boy
you were with good natured face and
continual smile and your juicy mouth
just naturally made for tobacco. And
remember teacher shockley and the
just yet terrible. beating he gave the
Carr boys. They we're out for blood
and combined against the old man;
and remember their threat to hang
a slate over his head"
Yes! My dear friend. we who once
were boys are now old men and'soon
must strike out ON the vague mysteri-
ions trail. on and on. out of this good
old world; but all is well with US and
will be through futurity. With much
love. your old friend. James Whit
comb Riley"
Since Mr.. Heavenridge received this
letter from Mr.. Riley he has received
a communication from Mr.. Riley's
publishers in indianapolis which said
IN effect that they were preparing
book of "reminiscences Of Mr.. Riley's
boyhood days and requesting Of Mr..
Heavenridge to write and tell them
What stories or incidents he knew of
those early days.
Mr.. Heavenridge is wonderful at
reminiscence and no doubt Will be
able to furnish the publishers with
some good material.

About fve years ago Richard Roel-

At that time the mine was $4,000 in

three months from the time he took

like Of which the world has never

dividends at a high rate. The diyi
dends this year amounted to 100000
exclusive of the big find.
Il cannot estimate the wealth that
lies In that vug," said Mr.. Henehan
but 1t would seem that by 1t the
dreams Of Midas were more than sat
isfied. You walk along the drift
whence gold of good paying quality
has been removed Then on TO one
side is a cave, literally cave of gold
whose extent no man can tell. The

THE vug is pear shaped and now
is Sc feet high 14s feet wide. and
ssh feet in length. Its limit has not
been reached in any direction, and
there is no way OF guessing it. The
sides and walls and floors are Of syi-
vanite and calvanite and contain a
higher grade of gold than was ever
before found in such great quanti
ties. In the lantern light 1t CLEANS

Probably one hundred men now

metal in this mine. With air drills

man ingenuity can devise. miners
are tearing down those precious walls.

at 2:47 Friday afternoon was some
thing of surprise to spectators of
the proceedings. although 1t was ex-
pected that the prosecution would
have all of its evidence before the
just before the close of the week.
OF the eighty-seven witnesses certi-
fed on the information by the district
attorney only sixty were called to the
box to testify, the others having been
dismissed by consent of coursel for
the state. Among those subpoenaed
as witnesses that were excused with
out interrogation by counsel for either
side were the secretary of the miners
union in Florence. Rockvale, Coal
Creek and other places in Fremont
county where such organizations ex-
Est. all of whom were in court on FRI
day.

10 O'Clock next Monday morning.
which was ganted by Judge Caveu-
der with an Injunction that he must
be ready to proceed at that tire.
The court stated that it had no desire
to be arbitrary in the matter, but
that it would not permit any delay
or dilatoriness Of any kind to inter
fere with the continuance af the case.
Mr.. Hawkins said that there was
much preliminary work to be done By
the defense and that it could hardly
be in position to resume the trial be-
fore Monday. wher upon court was
ordered adjourned until that time.
Three Witnesses Examined.
The witnesses on the sand Fri
day afternoon were John Thomas o.
Chandler, Grant Dickinson of Canon
City and Joe strout of Florence. They
were called in connection with the
conspiracy charge and their testi-
mony was of corroborative charac-
ter, having to do with events and in
cidents that had been previously in
trodrced in evidence.
Mr.. Thomas. who was employed as
. stationery engineer at Chandler
last spring. and is yet for that mat
ter. was summoned to the witness
stand Friday morning and was ques-
TONED at length by the prosecution
before dinner in respect to the at
tack upon Chandler by strikers on
April 25 and the capture of the camp
by them the next day.
The cross examination OF Mr.. Thou-
as was conducted by Mr.. Hawkins at
the afternoon session, Lut brought out
no new facts so far as the assault
upon the town or its capftulation by
the defenders was concerned.
Shipment Of Arms.
Grant Dickinson was on the stand
only a few minutes and was inter-
rogated briefly in relation to the ship
ment OF arms and ammunition by the
Holmes Hardware company Of Pu-

pany during the week ending April

In talking with O prominent
planter one day this week, 1t was
said that during this pretty warm
weather quite a number of cotton
boil weevils were seen in the fields.
This looked bad to us, but the
planter said these weevils would
either starve TO death before
spring as there was nothing now
for them to eat, or that. a cold
wave would come along and freeze
them. Bolivar Democrat.
The boil weevil is a hard propo-
sition for prognostlcatlon. Never
theless, just as surely as a winter
reduces, a mild one increases, the
boil weevil survivals. But this
does not argue that winter whose
average temperature is as phenom.
enally high as this one, may not
prove as destructive as hard one.
1t is an effect of common note,
that such winter spring tenn.
perature as we are now experienc
ing, and which ran well through
January, tempts insect life to
come out and bask in the sunshine.
Tho hoo 10 I'M IN tho ouarooo in

MES have been destroyed by ven
turing forth and getting caught in
cold snaps. 1t is at least a chance
that the boil weevil may suffer in
the same way, if the cold wave
succeeds the warm or the warm
precedes the cold the remainder of
the season. Vicksburg Herald.
