Rankin Wins
. The Rankin Milling ou Rapid
river which claims a secret pro
cess of mnuufacturing nitric acid
from air and water, have been
awarded a decision in the district
court in Washington county giv
ing them possession of 500 feet of
mining ground which was br ing
occupied by the company. This
company has attracted a great deal
of attention by their new process
of extracting gold and their first
run was reported as entirely suc
cessful but just about that time the
plant was tied up in litigation and
nothing more was heard of it.
This decision gives the company
everything they contended for and
will allow them to go ahead with
their important operations.

of Lowe, Idaho, were married at
the home of the bride's parents
near Lowe, Idaho, on Sunday
afternoon, Nov. 8., Rev. J. C.
Templeton of Denver, officiating.
The wedding was to have been at
11 o'clock a. m. but the minister
declined to leave his pulpit vacant,
