BAKER FINDS SHEEP
HORNS AT SAND CREEK LAKE
Albert Baker. while on fishing trir
to Sand Creek lake last week, found
a fine head of mountain sheen horns
which he left at the forest office un-
til he hears from the state game war
den as to what disposition to make
of it. From the looks of the horns
the animal was evidently killed or.
died some time during the past win
ter. Albert would like to keep the
trophy, but the game warden will tell
him whether he can do so or not

FIRST oFFENsE FOR
JULIUS M'cANDLEss
Julius McCandless of Florence had
a little bad luck with his Ford Sat
urday afternoon while driving along
Third street. Evidently the steering
geer went out of commission. for the
thing Mr.. McCandless realized was
that the car was over on its side and
that portion of it was pretty badly
wrecked. He was driving slowly at
the time and the machine went over
easy, which accounts for the facr that
he escaped injury, except for a few
minor bruises.

dresser employed on the well. For.
tunately the men were only stunned
and soon recovered their composure
