Dip Your Sheep
The First of June
Dipping sheep is an operation that is
performed once a year only as a rule and
it is important that this once should prove
effective.
The right sort of dip is one that should
destroy all insets or parasites and should
have a healing and tonic effect on the skin
without any possibility of injury.
ZENOLEUM
meets all these requirements.
We believe it is the best one made.

Death by Drowning
Mrs. VV. D. Watkins, who removed
from Alliance to Long Beach, Calif,
with her husband about nine years ago,
was found drowned in a canal near her
home, together with her daughter Eva,
aged about ten years. There were no
witnesses to the accident, but it is pre
sumed that the child fell into the water
and that the mother lost her life in a
futile attempt to save her child. The
sad calamity occurred on Friday of last
week, W, D. Watkins is a brother of
R. H. Watkins.
Mrs. G. L. Griggs and children re
turned yesterday from a visit of three
weeks at Omaha.
Section Foreman Keano brought one
Win, Snowdan to town laBt Tuesday
from Girard and turned him over to
Sheriff Wiker for trespassing the law.
Keano looks after the Burlington's in
terests at Girard and caught Snowdan
in the act of getting away with a coat
and two revolvers from the car used as
a section house at that place. But it
was not till Keano had a lively scuffle
with the thief that ho was able to over
power him. Snowdan shot at the sec
tion boss twice with tho stolon guns
but his markmanship was "bum" and
hence no injury was done. The stolen
property belongs to Chas. DeBonis, an
Italian laborer at Girard. Snowdan
was arranged before Judge Berry Tues
day afternoon and plead guilty at a
preliminary hearing. Ho was charged
with shooting with intent to do great
bodily injury and on the second count
of theft. Bail of 1,000 on each count
was imposed, in default of which ho
was taken in custody by tho sheriff to
appear in the next term of district
court.
Thrown "from Buggy.,
While out driving Wednesday even
ing, Mrs. S. W. Jacoby and Mrs. G.
H. Wright were thrown from tho
buggy they occupied, in front of the
North-West hotel. The ladies lost
control of the horse which started to
Tun north on Box Butte avenue. Mrs.
Jacoby was thrown out on the crossing
leading to the depot, while Mrs, Wright
was hurled heavily to the cement pave
ment in front of tho Coors building,
rendering her unconscious for several
hours. She was bruised about the
head and body, and while her injuries
are painful nothing serious will result,
Mrs. Jacoby was only slightly hurt.
