Frnov THE DEE'S LINCOLN
There arc growing signs of activity in
fetato politics and arrivals of politicians
to tbls natural center of politicH in the
elate Imvo boon moro numerous of late.
Locally the city and its numerous states
men have talked politics very little , al
though the recent nRgretislve movement
on the part of Blaine republicans caused
more than a rlpplo upon the political
surface and brought national polities to
the fore. Concerning the Blaine club
nnd the letter of declination , n prominent -
nont actor in the club states that the
organi/.ation will bo maintained for ef
fective campaign work without regard
to the nominee.
The coming session of the grand army
in this city the present wcelc , will
bring many prominent in state politics
together , but it will bo in its work n
gathering of old Hobjiors and it will not
bo part of the proceedings to vindicate
anyone In politics us practiced in the
election of the present department com
mander.
In congressional politics the practical
entrance of Speaker Hnrlan , through
ttye announcement of his personal
friends us a candidate to succeed Jim
Laird is the opening lire in the Second
district. There is expressed by former
supporters of Mr. Laird and politicians
generally , the opinion that u now man
should bo selected in that district.
Some parties have circulated the rumor
that Attorney General Leeso was a
candidate for congress , but the sttatc-
.inont comes entirely from the enemies
of Mr. Lectio ; from the oln&s whoso
friends , the corporations , have been
worried by the earnest work of the at
torney general as a member of the board
of transportation. The opinion is more
often oxpreaKcd that the people and the
public would bo most bonolitted by
retaining the attorney general In his
iiresont position , but Mr. LecbO himself
expresses no wish or opinion , simply
ooiilining hinibelf to doing six honest
days' work in the week for the state
something that his predecessors never
did.
did.Tho
The board of transportation , under
the law tuf interpreted by the supreme
rourt , is probably an entirely different
organization regarding powers and
duties than the originators of the law
contemplated. Of the ilvo state ofllccrs
comprising the board , all but Secretary
Laws complete this present year their
second term of ofllco , and this board will
therefore bo practically a now one after
the present year , and if there
is not n struggle to secure the
rnnko up of the board the political
signs of the times cannot bo counted
upon. In fact the indications point to ix
very interesting eanvassforRtatoonicors
the present your. Among the names of
candidates for state ollices that of L. D.
Richards , of Fremont , bus boon1 fre
quently mentioned for the position of
state treasurer.
Mr. Conger , whoso historic watch
came to him much as the serenade came
to Artemus Wardfrequently visits Lin
coln in the interest of an alleged con
gressional boom and Congressman Dor-
sey appears to have many friends from
the Third district visitors. The latest
in regard to a candidate against Con
gressman McShano in the First district ,
came from a prominent politician in the
Btato who said : "If I were asked to
select a man with which to defeat Mc-
Shtvno I should at once name Chief Jus
tice Reese , of Saufders county. "
THK CONSOLIDATION CAfUC.
Saturday , T. M. Marquette , attorney
of the B. & M. railroad , Hied the brief
covering the points on his side of the
case in the matter of the forfeiture of
the Atchlson & Nebraska railway. The
brief is an extended one and covers
omo thirty pages in which a great deal
of space is devoted to discussing other
mutters than the point at issue.tho con
stitutional facts 111 the case. Several
pages are given to the discussion of the
point that a Icnso is not a consolidation.
The petition in the case recites that
through the lease , a practical consolida
tion has boon oJYocted ; that the lease is
fiuch only in name and that the result ,
in every particular , is u consolidation ,
The brief , in reply to this , states that
the power to lease docs not imply the
power to consolidate ; that the lease if
simply baililt of the real owner and that
the inference made by the attorney
general that the turning of the personal
property of the Atchison & Nebraska
over to the B. & M. amounted to con
solidation is only an inference and that
the IOJI'KO in question had no somblnncc
of a consolidation. The brief enters
largely upon the plea of public policy ,
holding that the Atchison & Nobrnskti
road is moro benefit to the state as n
feeder than us a s-oparuto line.
To the point in the petition that the
rates were too high and wore run ur
under , the consolidation , the brief holds
that this effects merely the administra
tion of the road and not its existence as
a corporation.
In discusslnc- question of quo war-
ran to in connection with public policy
Mr. Mnrquotto says that it is a proceed'
ing that smocks of Kingly power anil
should bo used only whuu there is IH
other remedy and when the corpora
tion , by mlsuser , has placed itself whore
it cannot.be of usefulness to the state
Therefore if the Atchison & Nebraska ! ;
still capable of usefulness to the state iti
lifo should bo spared. Several | > agcsuri
devoted to a specious plea for the 1) . &
M. as a Nobrasha road running througl
the stnto whore other competing rauli
are generally located outside it ; con so
quontly the brief holds in substance
that competing lines should bo mtidi
feeders to the B. te M. , rounding uj
with the rather remarkable statomon
that the present price of corn and hogi
in Nebraska is directly attributable t <
the B , & M. and its increased num
her of feeders. The brief at thi
point has evidently wandered awa ;
from the siiftplo constitutional quostioi
involved of two competing lines boini
allowed to consolidate. Passing on tin
brief holds that the cause of the forfeit
uru no longer exists , as , owing to thoi
construction of the Missouri Pacilic am
Rock Island roads , the Atchison & Nebraska
braska now , as a part of the B. & M. i
a competing line with these now road
and is a feeder bettor Jilted to 'compel *
than before the louse or consolidation
The claim is also made that the stat
has waived its right of forfeiture.
Presumably the point in the brio
that will attract the most attention i
the point raised that the law by whicl
the Atchison & Nebraska holds its existence
istonco is notoftheprosontconstitution
that it was organized under the old con
ititution and that it has not violate
that law , The brief closes with sovurti
ptgei dorotcd to Mr. C. G. D wc9 , of
counsel in the case with the attorney
general , and Intimates that it is n pri
vate moro than a public action. Mr.
Dawcs will presumably bo fully armed
at argument on this point , nnd the ob
vious efforts at bciittlcment of the at
torney general that permeates the pages
of the document will pnss unnoticed. IV
is expected to reach the argument of
the case before the court the present
wcok.

FIRST SILVER IN COLORADO.
The Discoveries in Clear Creek County
in the Knrly Days.
Denver Republican : Silver mining
n Colorado had its beginning in Clear
> reek county in the year 1859. Cold
mning bad already taken root in Gil-
) in county. Among the gold seekers
if that day were George and David
GlriHIth , who have passed into that
, , 'reat unsolved mystery which lies be
yond death's dark river. These two
idventurcrs started from the little
kingdom towards the land of the "sot
ting sun" in search of the yellow metal.
On their journey up Clear creek canon
they reached what was at that
time a beautiful park with n clear
stream of water , coated over , "as
't were , " with u silver spray ,
ioursing through it from the south to
the north , and , like Do Soto on his dis
covery of the Mississippi river , were
charmed with the beauty of the scone.
This park was found to bo inhabited by
wild game native to the Rocky moun
tain region , as many as 600 black-tail
deer being present at one time. Other
moro ferocious animals , such as the
different species of the bear , mountain-
lions , etc. , were moro numerous than
: igreoable. However , those adventur
ers were not to bo driven from their
purpose ; they , nothing daunted , over
came the obstacles and traversed the
park and found it all that the poets
could imagine and express , and then
and there determined to appropriate
this now discovery for a homo , isolated
from the haunts of all civilization. A
log cabin was erected which became
their place of abode. The brothers
viewed with exultation and greatness
and like Robinson Cruse exclaimed : Wo
are monarchs of all wo surveyl" when
to their discomfiture bruin put in his
appearance , which caused these Spartan
braggarts to retreat to their cabin nnd
oiKzn a fusilado of powder and ball on
the approaching enemy. The noise
moro than their bullets frightened the
animal off. These adventures were fre
quent but in time ceased to bo matters
of alarm. Wild uuimuls were their only
neighbors. After enjoying this boon of
nature's wonders it dawned upon these
pathfinders that they had come here for
a purpose which must bo attended to.
Both with ono accord concluded
to aecund the east mountain now
known us the Grillith. In thcsr ascent
they discovered u stream of de
licious water flowing down a deep
draw in the mountain now known as
Grillith gulch. To this rough and rugged -
god route they climbed until they
reached what is now known as the
Grillith workings , where they discov
ered what they thought was an immense
vein carrying gold in largo quantities.
The gold pans which they brought with
them were brought into requisition ,
the water from the little peranial
stream was utili/.ed to wash their dirt
and to their great joy and exultation
{ fold was found in good colors. They
then and there named their discovery
the Grillith lode. This wsis the first
vein of either gold or silver found in
Clear Creek county. For a time this
property was worked ser gold exclu
sively , silver not being dreamed of by
the early pioneers. In sinking down n
foreign mineral was encountered.
What was it ? was the all-absorbing
question. Was it lead'No , for in ut-
tempting to make ballots they found it
refractory , it would not molt. It was
llnnlly given as beyond their compro-
TieiisioiiB nnd was eii.st to one sidu as
being worthless. They then virtually
abandoned the claim for nearly live
years. During this time Governor R.
W. Steclo ( who , by the way , still re
sides hero ) , with two other friends fear
lessly penetrated the south gulch of
what is now known as Leavonworth ,
mountains , until they reached what was
known afterwards for some years as the
Belmont lode , which the governor and
his colleagues pre-empted. The edu
cation of the governor served him anil
his friends in this cuso nnd he pro
nounced the find a silver deposit. This
news soon heralded forth and attcntioc
was again brought to the Griffith lode ,
and the material that was thought to be
worthless proved to bo of the same
character as that found at the surface
or discovery of Belmont , cxcopl
that the Griffith carried some gold ,
These discoveries were the incentive tc
a boom being started in this Grillltl
mining district which has never In ncr
to this day. The history of the Gritlttl
lode , or so much of that vast m in era
vein as had boon worked undo - the
name of the GritHth , has never been
written , and for the credit of the eounti
it were bettor it were never written
Knavery and duplicity robbed an enter
prising company composed of Now Yorl
capitalists who were organized undei

Caiss" Company , who were the owner ;

Grillith , ono of the discoverers , win

agor and superintendent of this caroles
but liberal company , and his advice wafer
for a long time the shibboleth of thi
company. His wasteful oxtruvuganci

A Romance In Real tilfto.
"There Is a man with a history , " said a
ravcler to the UEK the other evening , polnt-
ng to a man whoso ample nnd fashionably
lothed back was turned toward us as ho bent
> ver the hotel register. "Yes , sir , " the
djummcr went on , falling into retrospective
mood , "eight years ago that man was travel-
up : out of Council Bluffs and was engaged to
.ho daughter of the head of the firm for
rhlch ho worked. The old man was Inclined' '
'nvorably toward him , and everything seemed
o be cut out just his size. But ho was a wild' '
young cub , fuller of deviltry than a cocoanut
s of millc. Of course for the most cart his
scapueles were merely those of a high-strung
young fellow who went nt the wild oat busi
ness with the same ambition to excel ho
would bring tg another undertaking ;
but once or twice George got Into
n scrape that had a darker look.
The old man and the girl had faith In him ,
however , they said , ' 'Just wall a little while
and George will come out all right , " and
George for his part , was always just , on the
lK > mt of coming out , but somehow never
quite able to make it.
In short , after a couple of years of patient
waiting on the part of the girl and her
Tather , it came to be the old story of broken
romises. Unfulfilled resolutions on one
side , and heart-burnings and loss of faith on
the other. But. even after the old man nnd
bis friends hiul given him up , the girl stuck
to George. She forgave him as soon as ho
came buck to her after n spree , and pitied
him when ho told her what a miserable
wretch ho was , and bolleved him when ho
remised that from that time forth never
should a drop of liquor pass his lips or a card
touch his hand , and cried over him when ho
told her how bard ho tried to keep the last
> remise and hqyr miserably un-
tiappy ho had been as soon as ho
broke It , nnd said what a lucky fellow he waste
to Imvo a girl to love him. And George , no
doubt , shed a few tears himself during the
recital , and when it was over with , felt
meeldy , conscious that he deserved a great
deal of credit for making a clean breast of it ,
nnd tried not to bo proud when ho praised
him for it. Then George would go out on
the road again , with the best of intentions
lor ho really loved the girl and in duo time
he would bo at Ills old luncs.
Well , finally even the girl lost hopes of
him for she had a strain of good , common
sense in her make up and they had an inter
view in which she told him it was his last
chance. Of course , George swore , wifc tears
in his eyes , that it shouldn't be thrown away.
Ho went out and for three trips wai as
straight as a Judge. The old man lent him
$100 on the strength of it and the
girl would have been perfectly happy
if she could have stopped reproach
ing herself forever doubting his manhood.
Then along came the 4th of July , and a lot of
George's customers came la from the coun
try towns around and George's promises
went glimmering again. Ho went right to
the girl as soon as he got over it , with all the
old trick of tears and penitence but , though
she could still pity him nnd cry over him it
wouldn't work ; she said it was all over.
George wept copiously : ho denounced him
self in unmeasured terms ; ho declared ho
wasn't lit to kiss the hem of her garment
and she had the sense to take him at his
word. Then with the prospect of really losing
her right before him , he discovered what she
was to him , nnd ho got wild. Ho swore she
was heartless and only wanted to jilt him ,
and , in fact , they had a regular scene of it ,
and George loft the Jionso a sadder and a
wiser man in respect of his belief that a little
wheedling would always bring a girl round.
He left protesting to the girl that ho
would reform in earnest and win back
her respect and confidence , and she told him
that when he did that he would find her
waiting for him. He went down to the store
and told the old man that he was going away
to begin now. Ho gave him his note for the
$100 and swore to him that he would some
tlav redeem it with K for every one the note
called for. "
"Then George dropped out of sight. Uumor
said he had gone west but nobody hoard a
word from him. Of course , as soon as ho
was out of sight , the girl forgave him again
and renewed tier shattered faith. There
were plenty of other fellows around , but
none of them got any encouragement she
could wait ho told her father when ho re
monstrated. "
"So two years passed. Then ono day the
old man got u letter addressed in a hand
that made nim rub his glasses and look
twice. Ho toro open the envelope.
Inside was n blank sheet of note
p.ipcr and wrapped in the note paper a $500
bill. The envelope bore the postmark of a
railway postal ear in Montana , not a word of
writing. Ho carried the. packet homo and
gave it to the girl , a mute testimonial of
honest effort nnd remembered promise. Who
can tell how the strange billatdoux strnck to
her heart a pathetic witness of the absent
'
one's'faith and humility ; for ho had plainly
removed the possibility of receiving forgive
ness by reason ot HUB act ; ho plainly said to
them that he did not yet consider his expia
tion complete. Not u word was said by
cither , but after the old man had stood the
girl's ' yo.irning face , greeting him every
night us ho returned from his ofllco , for u
month , ho took the envelope , paper and bank
bill just as ho had received them nna gave
them to a detective , with instructions to mid
the sender and not to mind expense in do
ing it. "
The narrator shut his eyes a moment and
yielded himself to rovory.
"Yes , " ho went on musingly , "last month
the girl was married. She was not so young ,
certainly , as she was when George first won
her , but far more beautiful to my eyes , for I
knew the constancy and truo-hcartcdness
that had brought the sad lines about her
mouth , nnd given the almost pathetic look to
the dark eyes. It was a happy wedding. As
the father watched the bride I could see that
in his expression was mingled a dumb prayer
lor forgiveness for his part in the sorrow she
hod borne , and a rejoicing that ho had helped
licr bravo out the trial until this happy end
had come at length. The bride was happy in
her husband , and ho was certainly blessed In
her. Lucky Fellow ! They are cast now ou
their wedding tour , and "
"Ehl East * Why , I thought you said this
man here "
"This man t What , the man that married
the girl ! This follow ! Why. bless your soul ,
no. I forgot to say , respecting this follow ,
that the detective returned from Montnnu
with cvidcnco that would have landed the
festive George in the > penitentiary for com
plicity in n stage robbery that's how ho got
the i-'iOO bill , you see. This fellow , George ,
is a common gambler uo\v. The detective
Boon found that ho had boon going ( to the
bow-wows ever smco ho left Council Bluffs ,
mid on this proof the girl dually did give him
up for good. Oh , no , thq girl married a bust
ness man of DCS Molnos. "
The reporter cast u glance of withering
scorn at the narrator , jammed his hat jlowr
over his ears and wandered out into the
gloaming alone.
Out of Ilia Hphcrc.
A weltknown commercial traveler scudi
to the BRK thoTofioSvlng Interesting account ,
of his cxn rien6o ! <
Charllo S ' & - 'Is traveling for a drug
house In Clilcatfoaf .Before- entering tlmt line
of business ho land , studied medicine , grad
uated lu a leading college , and had had omo
experience In tWpractico of that profession.
Hut finding that , the ' disagreeable greatly
overbalanced tlb 'agreeable portion of a
physicians life , lid concluded to glvo It up
While ho was Jist young and able to uiukc a
new beginning' , 3
Although ho had become n traveling man
he wns not less interested In medical science ,
and nothing suited him hotter than to assist
B surgeon liif omo delicate operation or to
discuss with number of medical men some
disputed point In that science.
I was on the ttoad for a stationery house at
that time , nnd it happened that Charlie and I
often met , and beeamo very good friends.
Ono evening In November we were Hitting
in the smoker of the M. L. & W. railroad
Bearing a small Lake Shorn city In eastern
Wisconsin. Charllo hud something on his
mind that ho wished to tell me. Ho hinted
about nn interesting and unusual adventure
nnd at lust under the promise of profound
secrecy told mo this ! "This evening I have
promised to assist Drs. H. nnd C. In procur
ing a body for dissection. Wo need another
man to assist us , and if you nro willing you
can go with us , if not drop the subject , mid
forgot that I said anything about It. "
n "Charlie , " said I. rather soltnenly , "If any
doctor or student should rob the grave of a
nrnr relation of mine and bo caught 1 would
like to see him lynched. "
"Yoti'would feel dlfforently If you had
studied medicine , we look at u body without
BenUmont. It is clay returned to clay. The
soul of Mr. so and so has disappeared and a
corpse or "stiff , " remains , which will soon bo
rotted away , worms und maggoU will tuko
the place of brain and muscle. Why not save
the body for dissection and study. What
difference will It mnko after a few months
are over. Huskies this is the body of a sailor ,
who has washed ashore , and could not bo
iduntiflcd. "
The thought of digging up a grave In the
dead of night mode my flesh crawl but
Charlie said I might hold the liorso while
they did the work , I consented to share the
adventure. * * * *
It Is nearly midnight , cold and dark as the
"hinges of hades. " The wind is sighing und
nounlnir through the tall placs , and a line ,
Irizzling rain helps to iucrcuso our dlscom-
'ort. Clmrllo , two doctors uud myself Imvo
alighted from a two-seatod wagon. Charlie
curries n dark lantern , Dr. H. a shovel and n
runnysuck , Dr. C. a rope and an ax. I was
o hold the horse , but would not have re-
nalncd nlono in that uncanny spot for Sl.OOi ) .
'ivory ghost story I hud over heard flitted
hrougn my brain. In every tombstone. I do-
ectcd motion , and in the nistle of every leaf
an unearthly whisper.
"Well , Hob , you remain with the horse , "
said Charlie , "we will not be gene long. "
"No , Charlie , " I replied , trembling with
'car and cold , " 1 would rather dig ( u well ,
: hought I ) than remain hero. Can't wo tlo
thohorsol"
"Not very well , " responded Dr. H. , "some
ono must leinnin to sec that we nio
lot followed. Hut I .will remain
f you don't wish to. " With that ho handed
mu a gunny suck and axe , and lighting a
cigar , buttoning up his overcoat nnd bidding
UB "bo quick , " ho sot down on a bench
ivhoro ho wits somewhat protected by a large
.ombstonp , from the wind nnd ram.
Charles took the leal with the lantern , fol
lowed by Dr. C. , who directed him. I
jrought up the roar , holding the shovel be
hind me ns a sort.of shield. I would Imvo
jiven worlds to have been comfortably abed
n the hotel , but Ijfearcd ridicule as much as
t did ghosts und kept quiet. I watched Dr.
C.'s back , foe-1 dared not look anywhere
else. At last we found a new uiudo grave at
the foot of a tall pino.
"Tho head must bo hero , " explained
Jharlio , "towards the pino. You begin Hob , "
dig away the loose dirt so we can get at the
icad. Make the hole about two feet square ,
that will give us room enough. "
1 dug about onryfoot and handed the shovel
to Charlie , who , after digging two feet deeper
reached the coftln. The doctor-with his axe ,
easily broke the cover , exposing the face of
the dead suitor ; vthe wide open eyes staring
it us , as If hc.was about to utter a curse for
being disturbed in his everlasting slumber.
The doctor now slipped the noose ut the end
of the rope around the nock of the corpse and
drugged It out of th'c coflln.
I no longer assisted. I could not bear the
Idea of treating a corpse with so little respect.
My two companions uudrossed the body ,
dropped the clothes into the hole and tilled
up the grave. The body they bent so that
the knocs and chin cauio together and
squeezed it into the sack. The end of' the
rope was tied around it , and the doctor and
Charlie dragged the body to the wagon. I
lead with the lantern.
Dr. K. was still smoking when wo returned.
Throwing away the stump of the cigar ho
assisted the other two doctores meJicinar in
lifting the vacated domicile of the departed
soul under the buck seat of the wagon. We
now drove to the ofllcc of Dr. C. where the
body was carefully concealed.
Hero the advcnturo ended. I will only add
that n number of years ago all bodies for dis
section wore procured by medical students in
this way. But ut the present time in most
states paupers' bodies are given over to the
doctors for scientific study. So Churlie.told
me.
me.I wonder whether any other traveling man
ever assisted in body snatching.

ever existing is void. The position of the
court was that n drummer's tax was in the
nature of a regulation directly affecting in-
tcr-stuto commerce , and therefore repugnant
to that clause of the constitution which gives
to congress the solo power to regulate com
merce between the states. A drummer's tax
or license cannot bo collected in any state or
territory if resistance Is made to it.
ToL'iusT : New York passed n bill in 18 0
providing that commercial travelers should
not pay any license or commercial tax.

The Men's Outfitter has nn interesting ar
ticle on the m\ich \ ( vexed question of "legiti
mate traveling expenses. " It says :
In the minds of many young travelers there
appears to bo a lack of clearness as to what
expenditures are properly chargeable to their
employers. Perhaps this vagueness in the
head is not confined to young travelers , but
they at least Uavu a right to bo Informed both
as to the customs of the road nnd the whys
and wherofor thereof. The object In paying
a traveler's expenses is not to relieve him of
all the costs und 6haryes to which ho may bo
accustomed to indulge at homo. His tastes
and habits tire not assumed by the linn , nor
are his employersbound , to provide him with
recreation or amusement. Every expense
made directly In the interest of the house is
chargeable to the houso. All fares , freights ,
express , excess baggage , carting , porterage ,
postage , telegraphing , stationery , etc. , are of
this class. It not infrequently happens
that the interest of the house can bo fur
thered by some quite unusual outlay.
The means of dissipation are no part of au em
ployer's provisions for n traveler. Abouttrcat-
lug customers there are various opinions. Wo
don't believe In bribery of any sort , and have
small respect for u merchant or buyer who
can bo wheeled into buying goods by the per
suasive of smoke or drink. Wo have known
same who were. Undoubtedly the use of
those elements has promoted some tradcsbut
ths no vie j who thinks ho can further his con
nection by a discriminate bestowal of these
attractions will got "left , " The ' attempt to
bribe is too plain and Is resented'as it ought
to be. Quito different from tills , however ,
are the trlflling Inter-changes between buyer
and seller who kuovr each other's tastes to be
congenial , anfl tueh courtatloa often MM tbo
revolutions of business and are properly
chargeable thereto. Now , putting theto
specifications ono side , let us remember that
there are two * ouml principles that should
make it easy for any honest man to see his
way In this matter. These are honor and
self-interest.

It is expected that within the next twenty

It is estimated that there arc 25,000 travel "
Ing salesmen in this country and that they
do an aggregate business of nearly two bil
lion of dollars.
The manner in which the traveling sulei-
mcn have responded to the appeal in behalf
of the Nebraska heroines will bo a lasting
credit to the fraternity. The liberality of the
ubiquitucs drummer can bo depended upon
on aU occasions.
A Chicago traveling salesman who was
robbed of $ ! 00 recently in Kansas City , has
Tjrought suit against the Missouri metropolis
for * r ,00l ) , claiming that the duty of the cor
poration is to afford security to the lives and
property of citizens and visitors.
A petition of 4,000 names has been pre
sented in favor of the passage of the drum
mers' bill by congress , and the wholesale
dealers nnd traveling salesmen of the United
States are a unit for it. The bill is substan
tially the same ns that introduced by Mr.
James in the last house. It was , it is said ,
written by Senator Evurts on the back of an
envelope , and Mr. Farquhar took it to Sena
tor Evurts this session and asked him. if it
was strong enough to cover the question.
The senator read it carcfullv over and then
summed up the ends desired and the applica
tion of the bill to them. He finally said :
"Yes , that covers every point , and if the bill
is passed it should remedy the evil.11
"ROCKY" MOUNTAIN NEWS.
Joe Itfulhatton's Twin Hi-others Heard
From in Itcinote Parts of Colorado.
A Denver special to the Chicago
Times ; Colorado is noted for the diir-
ins of its early settlors. It takes little
inducement ( two fingers and one Inn ) ) )
to open the floodgates of remiiuscncos ,
and then the best performances of a
sworn circulation clerk are thrown far
beyond eight. A real earnest 1888 Col
orado liar , when ho feels well , can ac
complish a great deol in a very short
space of time for the edillcatiou of his
"tenderfoot" brother from the east.
Here are a few of his samples , sent by a
traveling correspondent :
Jim Sehilos , of Picdra Parada , in
Archulota comity , which adjoins the
New Mexican line , came up to Denver
a few days ago with a real "hair-curler"
in the shape of a bear story. According
to the euturtatng little romance that
Jim gave the local papers , it was so cold
in his neighborhood lu January that
bear , deer , coyote and antelope came
down from the range and were as thick
as bees about his cabin. Two of the
bears were fro/en to death , und he
swears that the thermometer was 5S
degrees below. This is regarded as a
pretty fair single-handed fable by the
old timers , but they scoff at it ns being
as mild an a Howolls romance to ono ol
yTlsop'H fables when sized up against
borne of their own experiences.
' Jed" Wiley , who ia in town trying to
place ono of his Arizona properties
authorizes the correspondent to glvo
ono of his adventures up near Laramie
twelve or fifteen years ago. * 'I ' was
holding down boino land for a big cattle
company that until recently had oper
ated extoiibively in Wyoming , " said
Jed , fixing the date und his bide drink
"and had nothing to do but keep .squat
ters off. The land that I bad in charge
veat ot Laramle , on the great plains ,
and I got to know every foot of It. In
rolnp over the plains , nl > out four
nilcs from my shack , ono day I stumbled
over , or nt least into , a big hole , in
the ground , mid * was surprised at its
lopth and peculiar formation. Its opcn-
ng on the surface of the ground was
irobnbly tfcn feet in diameter , but four
or Ilvo feet from the- ground it spread
out , as I afterward discovered , for
wenty or thirty feet , making a big
chamber. This spot was two or three
nilosfrom the 'hills , ' and marking it as
x st I could , I returned to my shack , in-
ending to return and explore it further.
The winter set in right after that , and I
brgot all about the hole until the spring ,
when I sot out for it. As 1 approaead I
saw a black object covering the ton , und
but , say , you'll think I'm lying. "
"No. "
' 'Well , over that hole there was noth
ing but animals all dead ; fro/.en HO
ill IT that the warm spring weather
iadn't thawed 'em out. I counted cloven
dead bear and a dozen deer. It seems
, hat , when the winter began to raise
everything but the mercury , the ani-
mnls had left the hills and looked for
shelter. They stumbled ocrotfs the hole ,
and a good many fell into the chamber
and died of starvation. The rest tried
, o get in , but thrco deer bccamo looked
.cgcther over the entrance and choked
t up. The other animals foil on top of
.hem and froze to death. Mo und my
mrtnor counted over forty animuls
rozen and starved. "
Dunk Blair , n big Scothman , who
with his squaw mid halt-breed sous lives
nidwny between Meeker nnd the Utah
inc , on the \Vhito .river , at u point
whore it presents ita most sinuous to-
KJgruphy , is noted all over the White
Ivor country us a man whoso word is us
; oed as his bond. Ho has been in the
leart of the Rockies for thirty years
and , having iv squaw wife , who is cousin
of Chopeta. the widow of old Ouray , is
land and glove with the Indians , par-
Jeularly Colorow's outfit of renegade
Jtos. During the disturbance ! laat year
10 wa # held under arrest , and was used
is a decoy to entrap the Indians. The
correspondent visited Dunk at his ranch
it the base of a big mesa , and although
10 refused to lead me to Colorow
'or ' newspaper puposos , ho told me ,
when I nad opened my sample cabe ,
what I have stumped the chef d'cauvro
) f western fairy stories. "See that big
jluclc hogback that runs to the mebii , "
" 10 said in developing his romance.
'Well , from hero it looks as if there
was not a break in it. But there is , and
a big one ; at least a big aroyu , probably
twenty feet deop. There's where I got
ny wife of squaw in the winter of 1801) ) .
Let's see , that's nearly twenty years
ago. Johnny , that's my bon , bo's eigh
teen now. I was hunting up on the
range with my brother , who runs n
store at Rock Crook , Wyoming. We
started out'from my place down the
river a few miles to hunt elk and bear.
Ono day a big storm comes up ,
and wo discovered tracks of Indians.
They were not friendly than , und you
bet wo kept out of their way. Night
ivas coming on , and wo hud struck that
li'ogback without blur ling any door , and
wcro about to como down to low ground
For the night , whou I saw u dozen oik
eating the sage brush a hundred or two
yards away , and started after them. I
struck the uroya , which was between
mo and fho deerand was about going to
the place , whore it was not very deep ,
when I saw just before me , in the hot-
Lorn , a horse , lying on the prostrate
body of u squaw. Springing to the bottom
tom of the hole , I walked up to her ,
with my gun ready for use , to nee what
was the matter. I goes up to her , und
pulling round my can , souses her with
water. She came round all right , and I
found she had been badly hurt by her
liorbc falling on her. She told mo , in
Spanish , that her horse had gone over
the uroya and fallen on her. Her peo-
> lo , with whom she was traveling , be
loved that bho was dead and left her
thero. Well , the squaw was young and
jood looking , nnd I took her with mo ,
She's making the coffee for you now ,
and though her skin's not white , and
slurs wearing out , I'll stick to her ns
long as I live. She's been worth moro
to nio than most wives are to their hus
bands. "
The point that Dunk describes is ono
of the most desolate in the Rocky moun
tains , nud in 18GO the nearest settlement
was Denver , over four hundred miles
uway. Blair , Bill Baker , and a few .of
the pioneers were the only white men
in the mountains for hundreds of miles.
Blair is now a rich man , or , at least lias
a good ranch and thousands of head of
cattle. His nearest neighbors uro ut
Raugoley , six miles from which the en
gagement between the Colorado btuto
troops and Utcs occurred last summer.
