Stung in q New Place.

A man and a woman dropped
into a small town and put up at
the best hotel. The next morning
they secured a rig each, and start
ed over the country asking the
farmer folks for a chicken for an
orphans home in st. Louis. AZ
ter two days begging they sold
the chickens to a local produce
man for $50 and left town. Their
loot included several cash dona-
tions.
A variation of the scheme is for
a man, wearing some sort of badge
to call on the farmers under the
name of the Department of Health
and demand to see his poultry.
After examination he condemns
twenty or thirty hens and tells
the farmer they will have to be
killed because they are diseased.
He very kindly offers to take the
chickens and do tue killing him
self If the farmer consents, the
man takes the chickens to the
nearest commission merchant and
sells them. The scheme is being
worked all over the country. If a
man or oma calls on you with
a demand that looks suspicious
call up your local authorities and
ask by what right they are asking
to inspect your stock or poultry
When you get the answer, TURF
them over to the police.

Edgar Vane Buried.

Edgar Vane, one of the old tim
ers of Encampment, died there
last week and was buried Thurs
day. Mr.. Vane was about 81 years
of age and had been a long time
resident in the Encampment coun-
try. Death was due to uric pois-
oning, from which he had been a
sufferer but a short time. Mr.
Vane a a well respected citizen
and we'll liked by all who knew
him, a man who always attended
to his own affairs in life, and al
ways willing to lend a hand to his
fellow man. He leaves a wife and
son who reside on the Vane ranch
to mourn his passing, and the
many friends of the family extend
sympathy to them in their hour
of grief. Rev. Haupt, of this city,
held the services and interment
was made in the cemetery at En-
campment.

FORCED Checks.

The Edwards who forged checks
on R. A. Day and Lloyd Norman,
purchased a ticket to Butte, Mon
tana, making good his escape at
the time, but we have understood
that he has been apprehended and
if this is the case will be brought
back here for trial. He was an
old hand at the business and did a
very fair job at forging the names.

need of moral or financial assis.
lance. A large number of these
amateur farmers become attracted
to this work, learn the financial
return to be obtained from right
methods, get some idea of scien-
ltifc agriculture, and each year a
large number of graduates" leave
the "baby farms to engage in the
regular work of truck farming or
farming on a large scale. The
work in Chicago is under the di-
rection of Laura Dainty Pelham,
president of the association, who
has prevailed upon the owners of
large tracts of land to donate them
for gardening purposes to the as
sociation. She is working upon
the principle that the raw Italian
or Slav immigrant will not go to
the country direct from Castle
Garden, but that with a little
training and encouragement, he
will see the greater profits posi-
bic for him through farming and
eventually will leave the city and
go back to the land.

Fish Fry
Celebration

lie uIbl dhO IL VIC ti1oLb ~
ment fish fry was opened Thurs
day at noon with the trout fry,
which took place under canvas,
and the multitude of hungry were
fed to their hearts content with
ali the fish, hot rolls, Saratoga
chips and pickles that you could
want, with hot steaming coffee.
Eat and eat and eat they did un
til they could hold no more, and
when they got through there was
still plenty of fish and other edi-
bles.
After the big dinner everyone
went to the race track whore a
free exhibition was put on for the
benefit of the visitors. Pie eating
contests, sack races, pony races,
and winding up the days events
was the first half of the bucking
contest, which proved to be the
best held in Carbon county for
some time. There we're six bad"
ones and six good riders. Two of
the boys had to have their backs
brushed off after Appendicitis"
and Rock River got through
with them. In the evening a band
concert took place from 7 to s, at
ter which a show and dance was
pulled off in City Hall to enter
tain the crowd.
The second day was better than
the first and a bigger crowd was
in attendance to take a second
hand at the fry. And we want you
to know those fish we're good
they were cooked in regular old
"dutch" ovens on open fires
and every trout ives done to a
queens taste" The events at
the race grounds consisted of a
novelty race, in which Fred Heal
ey carried off the hopors, an egg
lace, a relay race, the bueking
contest, and a fast half mile dash
between two good horses. In the
bucking contest five boys that
rode the first day rode the second.
After the boys had ridden, Earl
Sutton, Freeman Cook, and VIM.
Blazers were selected for the finals.
Cook took first money on "Appen-
dicitis," Sutton second ON "Bi-
plane" and Blazers third on Rock
River" "Biplane," while making
his aerial flight, skidded into the
crowd on the upper side of the
grand stand, though not injuring
anyone.
During the evening a band con-
cert and dance was pulled off.
The Saratoga band furnished the
outdoor music for both days.
The Encampment people, and
especially those in charge of the
affair, deserve great credit for
their entertainment and treatment
of their guests and in the manner
in which the occasion was hand
led. Every one was treated roy
ally and not a dull minute. Sara
toga and the entire valley was
there and had a good time and we
assure the good people of En-
campment that we will all be
there next time, rain, snow or
shine.

DANGEROUS DEBILITY

Debility may result from a number oil
causes-worry, after-efects of acute ILL.,
ness, lack of nourishment due to dis
ordered digestion, or anything that makes
the blood thin, thereby preventing it
from carrying health and nourishment
to the tissues of the body.
The symptoms OF debility vary but
weakness is always present, often ten
dency to fatigue easily, ringing in the
ears, black spots passing before the eyes,
weak back, dizziness, wakefulness caused
by inability to stop thinking, and unre-
freshing sleep.
Debility il dangerous because it weak
ems the bodys defence against disease.
For instance, debilitated people take
cold easily and winter is always trying
time for them. When one cold follows
another the system surely needs build
ing up.
The treatment OF such rundown con-
ditions with DR.. Williams Pink Pills in
based on sound medical principles and
common sense. These pills build up the
blood so that it nourishes every part of
the body, nerves as well a. muscles and
brings vigor, strength and health.

youthe booklet Building Up the Blood. Z"

RECEIVERS
FOR RAILWAY
Two Appointed Yesterday
for the Rock Island
Railroad
COMPANY UNABLE
TO MEET NOTES
Result Of American Steel
Foundries Co. Pc
tition

Chicago, April 2l.--The Chicago, Rock
in the hands of receivers in Judge Car
penter's branch of the United States dis
trict court here yesterday.
The company admitted its inability to
meet more than $5,000000 in short-term
notes and other obligations due between
! now and May /, and the court appoint
ed II. Z. Nudge, president of the COM
pany, and Jacob M. Dickinson, former
secretary of w;r, receivers.
Application for the receivership was
made by the American Steel boundaries
Co., which has claim of about $4,000
against the defendant. A. c. Ridgeway,
vice president of tn railway company
answering the petition, stated that re-
ownership was the best means of pro-
teeting creditors.
The railway company was the basic
property for the formation of the Rock
Island Co., which is said practically to
have disappeared from the financial map,
and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad Co. The railroad company
owned 95 per cent. of the stock of the
railway company, which operated the
road. 1t has been for several weeks in
the hands of a receiver appointed in New
York. Inquiry of the legal department
of the road as to the present status of
the Rock Island Co., which in turn owned
all of the stock of the railroad company,
elected the reply:
1T seems to have disappeared. Its
only asset was the railroad company, the
stock of which dropped to dollar or
50, and with such assets, its fate can be
imagined"
Stockholders of the railway company
held their annual meeting here April IL
last, after federal court had declined
to enjoin the meeting on petition of
counsel for minority stockholders. Ru
mors of apparently authentic origin at
the time were current that the company
