O. K. Peck left last night for
the Cripple Creek gold field, where
he will investigate the mining prop
erty owned by the gentleman who
has been in town for a week selling
stock. Mr. Peck makes this trip
at the solicitation of a number of
railroad men who desire to invest a
few hundred dollars in mining stock
but desire to have the property ex
amined before making the invest
ment. Upon returning from the Lex
ington confereucelast evening, Rev.
and -Mrs. Coslet found about fifty
friends assembled at their residence
and also found that a very fine sup
per had been prepared. These good
people were nearly all from the sev
eral appointments on the North
Platte circuit, over-vvhich Rev. Cos
let has so faithfully and earnestly
presided for two years past. The
guests also presented Rev. Coslet
with a purse of money and several
articles as a token of the esteem in
which he was held bT them.
The saloons were closed last
Sunday but it was not through the
eiforts of the city administration or
Marshal Morgan. The saloon keep
ers got together Saturday and de
termined to keep their places closed
and as a result not a glass- of beer
or whiske was sold on that day.
The Tribute was largely instru
mental in influencing, the saloon
keepers to keep closed doors it suc
ceeded in doing what Marshal Mor
gan was apparently afraid to do.
The Tribune has no fight against
Messrs. Laing, Healey, Waltemath
.aud. Sparling: it simply desires
along with all or nearly nil of cur
citizens that they keep closed, doors
on Sunday. This they have started
in to do; let us hope that it will be
continued. .Marshal Morgan did
not figure in this action; he deserves
40 credit

A FATAL AFFBAY TTEAB BEADY
Flovd Hutchinson, an eighteen
year old boy living on Brady island
died Sunday from the effects of
blow on the head struck by John
Rawlins, the skull on the left side
being" fractured from the forehead
to the base of the brain.
As near as can be learned the
particlars of the affray are as fol
lows: Hutchinson and Rollins were
working in the hay-field for Mr.
Abercrombie. Friday night after
quiting work the two boys were
feeding the horses, and Rawlins
had a piece of board or scantling
which he had been using in driving
away a horse which persisted in
eating from the wrong trou
While looking- after the horses the
boys became involved in a quarrel.
Rawlins claims, we believe, that
Hutchinson slapped him in the face
and in self defense he had struck
Hutchinson with the board. There
was a third party present at the
time, but it being- dark he did not
see the fight, but distinctly heard
two blows struck.
Hutchinson was taken to Aber-
crombie's house in an unconscious
condition, and Dr. McCabe of this
city summoned. Accompanied by
vr. jves ue went aown ana upon
examination the physicians found
the left side of the skull badly frac
tured, one fracture running from
the forehead back to the lower part
of the head, and another from near
the top of the head down to the ear.
The scalp was bruised but little,
showing that the club used was
broad. The physicians at once con
cluded that there was little if any
show for the boy to recover. They,
however, trepanned the skull and
rendered such aid as was possible.
but the patient died about twelve
hours after, without regaining con
sciousness.
Sheriff Miller went down Sunday
night and placed Rawlins under ar
rest, and in the absence of Coroner
Doualdson. lm'panneled a jury and
held an inquest. All the testimony
that could be secured was taken and
the jury returned a verdict to the
effect that Floyd Hutchinson had
come 'to his death by blows from a
club or board in the hands of John
Rawlins.
Rawlins was brought to town and
placed in jail and will probably
have a preliminary hearing tomor
row. He is onlv about seventeen
years of age and has resided near
Maxwell with his parents for about
a year.
Thieves again visited the ranch
of H. J. Hansen north of the river
last week and drove away four head
of heifers and broke the leir of
another. This is twelve or fifteen
head of stock Mr. Hansen has had
stolen during the past sixty days,
and it is getting to be a little
wearisome. He will probably in
crease his armory by the addition
of a long distance towling-piece
and keep a close lookout for the
thieves.
R. A. McMurrav was out nn
the streets Saturday and yesterday.

petite is excellent, and he does not
suffer much pain.
