Isn't it about time the state authorities were taking these hide-huuting Indians in hand? Hon. J. \V. Lowell came in Thurs day, after a brief outing at Denver and other points. He brought in a bunch of about five hundred head of 1 and 2-year old steers for the Lily Park Stock Growers’ association. Another lively game of base ball was played Sunday afternoon on the home grounds between the Meeker and Coal Creek nines. Several of the latter were injured in the early part of the game, which was largely responsible for their defeat. Light years ago yesterday Colorow’s band of Utes refused to recognize civil authority, and the result was a “war.” Since then but four or five Utes have visited Meeker, but plenty of them come into the western part of the county without fear of being molested.

Ou Monday last complaint was made in the county court that one August Fisher was insane, and he was lodged in the “cooler.” A brief inquiry on the part of the court Tuesday morning re vealed the fact that the man has been i subject to spells of temporary loss of i reason for many years past, and at no ; r ne was he ever considered dangerous, although bis talk during such spells would indicate a very unbalanced state of mind.

Nearly a hundred schemes have been devised for utilizing culm, the name given to the fine dust or refuse of coal that is shipped from the mines. Many of these schemes have proved useless.

A young man, Ilcnry Brault, a resi dent of Peterbnro, Onl., recently per formed an act of heroism, actuated by friendship, which is worthy’ of record among the heroic deeds of heroic men of any age. The Manchester Union says that lirault and another young man, John Jamieson, were at work in tin: wild Madawaska region for the St. Anthony Lumber company. Jamieson met with a severe accident wliich-ren dered him delirious, and Brault started with him for civilization, where surgi cal treatment could be had. They had traveled on foot but a few hundred yards when Jamieson’s strength gave out and he became helpless. Brault determined to save his companion if in his power, shouldered the invalid and started on his long, cold tramp of some forty miles to the nearest railroad. Without a moment's sleep, and bearing, besides his human burden, a pack of provisions. Brault continued his jour ney for four days end nigjits, through cold and snow, until finally, almost as helpless from exhaustion and fatigue as his friend was from illness, he had the supreme satisfaction of reaching the end of Ims journey and placing Jamie son where he was able- to—lye properly treated. Such a feat of endurance seems almost incredible, and only a seasoned woodman, inured lo hardship, could have accomplished it: and among those capable of it it is rare to find so striking an example of disinterested friendship, even when a human life is at stake. Whatever his station in life may be, young Brault deserves to rank among nature's noblemen. • —* - LEVl^^^CO's COPPffiTaVETEDCL^HING EVERY GARMENT GUARANTEED FACTORY- SAM FRANCISCO - CALIFORNIA.
