Becky Sharp Shipments

Hughes and Threewit, who re-

Sharp after the Fuller-MacCul-
loch Co., forfeited their lease,
have been making a steady pro-
duction of good grade of ore
from fine shoot. They are now
awaiting returns from four cars
shipped to Pueblo. With other
cars to be sent to the smelter the
output for this month will be ~
or Ia cars, all smelling. Nothing
is being milled at the present
time. The ore being sent to the

Railroad Out of Commission

A storm of unusual severity
visited the county Wednesday ev-
ening and put the railroad out OF
commission between Smith hill
and Forks Creek. The down train
this morning did not take any
mail or passengers, but went down
with the section crew to assist in
the work of clearing the tracks.
A train with a bridge and track
crew left Golden early Thursday
morning and managed to get thru
to Forks Creek at 9 o'clock.
Bates cut below Smith hill is
filled in from one to ten feet a
distance of 200 feet, and Tiffany
cut, little this side of Forks
Creek, is filled in from one to four
feet distance of $50 feet. 1t may
be that the tracks will be cleared
by Saturday afternoon, and by to-
morrow it is thought that an up
train can be run near enough to
the train on this side of the fill-in
so that passengers and mail can
be transferred.
At 3 o'clock this Thursday af-
ternoon) another flood of water
came down one of the side gulches
between Smith hill and the Boult-
er place, filling in the tracks a
distance of 100 feet or more and
the train that went down this
morning was marooned and could
not get back to Black Hawk. This
last flood will delay the work of
clearing the tracks day or more.
In the meantime some arrange
ment will probably be made to re-
ceive mail and express by way of
Idaho Springs as the south Clear
Creek branch of the railroad is
open from Denver to Silver
Plume.

Edmund Fuller. Bound Over
to the District Court

The preliminary hearing of Ed
mund Fuller, of the Fuller-Mac-
Culloch Co., charged with obtain
ing labor and services under false
pretenses, which was set for Fri
day afternoon of last week, was
postponed until this Thursday af-
ternoon.
o. j. Duffeld was the first wit
ness called by the prosecution and
testified IS to the amounts due the
men who were employed on the
different mines operated by Full
lcr-M r-MacCulloch.
Louis Carter, one of the employ
cs, testified as to the amount due
him, also in regard to Mr..
Desalvo, a reputed millionaire,
who is said to have been refused
an opportunity to get in on the
company's proposition because it
was fully financed and his money
was not needed. He said Fuller
assigned the money received from
ore shipped from the Becky Sharp
to the Labor Commissioner upon
condition that the men accept it
as their pay. This money was not
available to the Fuller-M MacCul-
loch Co., as it was to be held in
escrow and applied on the pur-
chase price of the Becky Sharp
lease, according to the testimony
of R. l. Hughes, one of the own
ers of the Becky Sharp lease. Mr..
Hughes testified further as to
cautioning Mr.. MacCulloch about
spending so much money in the
working of the mines and Mr..
MacCulloch said it didn't make
any difference about the money
as the company had plenty and
that he personally was worth two
or three hundred thousand dol
lars; that he had retired from
business, but that he was in the
proposition because he liked the
game.
w. J. Stull, editor of the Obser-
yer, told of interviews he had had
with both Fuller and MacCulloch
which were the basis for the ar
ticles appearing in the Observer.
telling of the great things the
company intended to do and that
the proposition was amply finan-
ced. G. M. Laird, editor of the
Register-Call, testified along the
same line.
John Anderson, another en-
ploye, testified as to the amount
of wages due him; also that O. j..
Duffield, resident manager, had
told him that the company would
have the finances arranged after
the first pay day SO that the men
could come to the Office and get
their cash.
No evidence was introduced by
the defense, and after the prose-
cution had finished it's evidence.
Justice Harry L. Eilmann bound
the defendant over to the district
court in the sum of $4,000. An eff
fort will be made by the prosecu-
tion to have the case tried at the
present term of the district court.

zThere'is one. place about two. miles from my home which'I like to visit and let my imagination run riot. This place, is usually known as the Deserted House.
 Upon approaching. your first impress sion. Is; that of..a gloomy old brown residence, foriorn and neglected to be sure, but stin with an air eftquiet dig rity, Ike some old gentleman in greatly reduced circumstances.
 As you walk upon the grass grown driveway, you, observe that the ereund surrounding 1t. dotted with birdhouses and silver-tipped spruce trees, must have once been beautiful lawn.

 Now here is. the little lake just ahead; isn't t pretty? Here where U IS narrow 1t is crossed by a dear little arched bridge. Out there in the naloale IS a tiny island, just ,big enough CT to hold little island villa for the ducks. Across the lake you can see a. greenhouse. with the glass all. -1foken in.

And oh the things mat might happen here! There is the villain lurking in the shadow, with his cruel knife, and there is the haunting white robed figure. .c, .aq :.
 But come let. US go oll. The lane leads directly to the dearest little house, all Of round stones cenented together" and with a rustic veranda. The windows are all of little square panes, but most of the glass Is gone. We ifnd that the arched door with its old fashioned hinges is open, so we walk in. Here is a delightful living room with a COSY fireplace. and even
 places for electric lights. There is only one other room, 8 microscopic kitchen, with the remains of a stove l and a sink. and q tiny cellar: Oh, wouldn't this be a glorious place to
