Gunnison, June 10, 1904.
Friend Nary
Received your letter this afternoon.
Am going TO answer il this evening.
Wish you could come and sit down
along side Of me and enjoy this lovely
evening. Jack and the boy have been
plowing all day and there Is n smell of
frcshly-turned earth mingling with
the scent Of growing things. Our
place is beginning to look real nice;
but Jack don't appreciate IT, He got
clawed up by setting hen yesterday
and has been as mad as hornet. It
started to rain and the little chicks
ran under an up-turned box. Jack got
on his hands and knees and looked
under to see il the hen was there also.
She was there all right and greeted
him enthusiastically.
! kind of feel sorry for him some
times. He wants to. go prospecting
again. He was in town this morning
and met J. b. France of Hotchkiss
who was going to work his claims at
the foot Of Cochetopa range.
He was also talking to Frank Cum
mings Of Denver, who is staying at
Whtepine this summer, working his
mine, the Melted Gem.
! see in the Gunnison papers that
the folks of Whitepine gave Mr.. and
Mrs. Addleman a surprise party on
her birthday last week. Young Carl
Rhinard also celebrated his fifteenth
birthday. Wish l hadn't been born in
November.
The d. A. McConnells of Doyleville
had quite n celebration ut their home
this week when their daughter, Miss
Nellie, was marred to Harry H. Fogg.
G. A. DesCombes and Miss Nellie Cor
lett were the attendants. My! they
received lot of lovely presents.
Jack went to town Saturday to at
tend the Stockgrowers' meeting and
get few ideas on ranching. Presi-
dent w. A. Gillaspey presided and o.
number Of prominent men made
speeches. Congressman H. H. Hogg
was one; Eugene Grubb Of Carbon
dale, Prof. Alyesworth Of the State
Agricultural College, were among
the speakers. Jack said about $50
were present.
Mrs. T.. S. Land entertained at a.
trout breakfast ut the hatchery for
Messrs. Grubb and Hogg the morning
after the meeting.
Oh, by the way, Mrs. Land had a
good story in the Gunnison paper this
week on "An Ideal Way for Boys to
Travel for an Education"
The town council met the evening
before Jack was in town and Mayor
Ditto appointed T. C. Brown, George
Mason and Henry F. Lake delegates
to the mining congress at Portland.
Had a letter from "thc lady next
door today" She was telling me all the
society doings. Wish I could have
been at the Monday Afternoon Club
meeting at Mrs. A. Hartman's Dos
Rios ranch home. They had a big
time. At luncheon, Mrs. Hartman
had table just for the little folks
who came with their mothers. Little
Leah Hartman was hostess and her
small guests were Melvin Rose, Carl
ton Sills, Zelma Mckee. Margaret
Sanford.
Mr.. Hartman's brother, Jos. is up
from Montrose on a visit to them, and
Bruce came home this week from the
Agricultural College at Fort Collins.
Helen was in town with her dad.
She says Myrtle Myers has gone to
Missouri to visit relatives. and that
Clara Surles is over from Como on a
visit with her cousins, the Allen girls
Mrs. Eli Bates three little grand
children, Winnie, Sadie and Norman
Ready, came up on the train from
Lake City that evening for visit.
Helen was guest at tie party CIV
en- by Mrs. ]. w. Rose, in honor Of
Miss Clara Seller, one of the young
teachers. She has been promoted to
a school In Boulder and leaves in Sep
tember.
"The lady next door" said in her
letter that Mrs. Palmer Vader and
Miss Hattie had quite an exciting
runaway Sunday. They were coming
in from their Tomichi ranch and the
team bolted, throwing the ladies into
the river. Someone going by helped
them out.
Jack was saying that the day he
was in town, Harlow Lawrence's horse
ran away and smashed his brand new
buggy all to pieces. ! can see where
Ill never own a horse and carriage.
] read in the local paper that Mrs.
A. d. Smith and mother, Mrs. Hoff,
have gone to Chicago for the benefit of
the latters health.
The paper also had an account that
Charley Adams new home in Mont
rose burned down. Their furniture
and belongings hao just been shipped
from Gunnison and were still packed.
Jack met George Berg on the street
in town. Mr.. Berg got back from
Ohio reeeutly and g going to open q
cagar manufactury in Gunnison.
Must ring on now; it's nearly bed
time and we get up early out here.
Regards from Jack and l. As ever,
