WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, JULY 11. 1907
MARKET LETTER
North Park Steers Brincj in
$5.25 and Cows Sell
at $4.10.
Denver Union Stock Yards, July 0—
Receipts of cattle last week were very
fair and the market closed in fine shape.
Good beef cattle of all kinds are firm,
medium grades steady to easy, and com
moil grass cows about a quarter lower
and in light demand
A feature of the week’s trade was the
arrival of a bunch of fancy experiment
steers from Texas. They were fed kaf
fir corn and milo maize and sold at SB.
with a few very fancy steers at $0.1)0 and
87.10, putting a new top on the market
hero. Bulk of good corn fed steers on
sale during the week brought §5 to $5.05
and demand is better than supply.
A few grass fed steers from the North
Park country arrived today and sold at
$5.25 and by the first of next month
range stutr is expected to begin moving
quite freely as grass is reported to ho
quite good in most sections of the state,
and cattle are ri|*eniug rapidly.
Cows were wanted and sold to good
advantage. Good corn feds brought
•$5, with bulk around $1.25 to $1.75 and
fair to pretty good grass cows selling at
$5 to sl.lO, a hunch from North Park to
day bringing the I nter price.
Bulls closed about steady but veals
lower, tops now selling around $5.25.
Feeder and stocker trade very quiet
as supply was light. There is a good
demand for the good steers but common
kinds are slow. Very little trading is
anticipated hero in feeders and stackers
here until next month. Receipts today
were 2,500 and market about steady.
New Mayor and Trustee.
The town council held a special meet
ing Tuesday evening for the purpose of
acting upon the resignation of Mayor A.
E. Butler, and appointing a new mayor.
As Mr. Butler has taken up his residence
on the LaFever ranch, recently purchas
ed by K.J. MncCu Hum and himself, it i
is not possible to give the necessary time !
to town business, the resignation was
accepted, and C. E. Mosman. who was a
member of the council, was appointed
to fill the uuexpirod term.
The vacancy in the council made by
the promotion of Mr. Mosman was filled j
by the appointment of J. C. Timbrel to j
that {Hisitiou.
At this meeting the application of Tom !
Don for a saloon license was discusseed
but no action was taken as the meeting I
was special and not called for that pur
pose. The matter will be brought up
for action at the regular meeting next j
Tuesday evening.
Moved Body to Walden.
Tuesday the remains of John A. Cocli
raue, who died nine years ago in Jami
. ary, of pneumonia, and was buried at
Spicer, was exhumed and brought to
Walden, and interred besido the grave ;
of his mother.
l The deceased was a son of Major J. M.
I .Cochrane, and was but twenty-live years
of age at the time of his death
The body and casket were in a re
markable state of preservation when ex
burned, the young man appearing as
natural as when buried. When the
length of time the body has been buried
is taken into consideration this is most
remarkable.
Fred Ninegar and Dennis Brennon
had charge of the moving of the body.
Brought Good Prices.
Victor Hanson and Wm. Norrell ship
ped about five cars of grass fattened
beef to Denver last week that brought
way up prices. Cows, shipped by Han
son brought sl.lO, and Norrell’s steers
brought $5.25.
These prices are as high, and in some
instances higher, than was paid for corn
fed stuff. When it is considered that
the cost of fattening North Park steers
until the}' equal the corn fed product is
fully one-third less than is required to
put the corn feds in shape, it is not to
ha wondered that this is considered a
great cattle country.
Ilampton-Riggim.
A very pleasant home wedding took
place at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Riggen, Wednesday at high noon, at
which time their daughter Mary Alice,
was united in marriage to Homer. E.
Hampton, Rev. Trowbridge performing
the ceremony.
Miss Ethel Riddle acted as brido’smaid
and Wm. Rosenbaum, grooin’snian.
I The bride wore a very pretty gown of
white mull, the bridesmaid was also
dressed in white.
After the ceronioncy an excellent
1 wedding dinner was served. The guests
present were Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Riddle
and family,Mr. and Mrs. Miller Mosman,
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Mitchell, Mr. and
Mrs. A. C. Maine, Mrs. Media Williams,
Win. Doner,Rev. Trowbridge and (laugh
er Beatrice, and John Afloiter.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hampton are well
known throughout the Park. The bride
is tin* daughter of estimable parents,and
is a young lady loved and respected by
all for her many pleasant qualities. The
bridegroom has a position with C. E.
Mosman and is one of the sterling young
men of the Park. His boner and integ
rity are above reproach, and with his
courteous and straightforward disposi
tion, is worthy the esteem in which he
is held.
May the newly married couple enjoy
through life the health, happiness and
prosperity they so richly deserve.
Surveying New Line.
William Noroll chairman of the
Platte River Telephone Association, and
who holds some of the contracts for
building the main line and some of its
branches, and A. 11. Law, today complet
ed the survey, and in the morning will
leave for Indopenponce mountain,where
the poles have been parked out ready
for hauling for about a week.
Before leaving town Mr. Norell plae
ed an order for 150 cross arms for the
main line, and enough wire, brackets
and glass insulatars to complete the sys
tem
Those interested in this telephone line
are Wm. and Andrew Norell, B. Mallon
& Sons, Dawson & Green, Jacob John
son, Charles Fliniau, Charles Bergquist,
Sofie Erickson, E. A. Wnttenberg and
Wm Monahan.
It is expected that many others, be
sides those mentioned, in the Iligho sec
tion will take advantage of this system
because of its short route and capacity
for a large number of circuits.
A meeting of the ranchmen living on
the Michigan between Walden and Cow
drey will ho hold in town tomorrow to
discuss and make arrangements to build
a line that will connect all the ranches
in the north end of the Park with the
{Wallen exchange. This line will be
i completed in a few weeks.
With this sort of improvement who
can say that North Park is the last end
jof mention! Don’t you believe it. “Ho
who shall ho last shall be first” any way #

Government After Haley.

court in Cheyenne last week by U. S.
Attorney T. F. Burke against Ora I laley
the Laramie millionaire stockman and
reputed to bo one of the wealthiest men
in the state, for the illegal fencing of
34,184 acres of government land in I.ar
ainie county, Wyoming and Larimer
county, Colorado, as the result of the re
cent investigations by special agents of
the land office.
The suit demands the demolishment of
the fences and an injunction to restrain
Haley from rebuilding them. Of this
tract 23,270 acres aro in Colorado aud
10,414 acres in Wyoming. A similar
suit will be instituted in Colorado to
compel the destruction of the illegal
fences in this state.
This is the third big illegal fencing
suit started there within the last two
months, the other suits being against
the Wyoming Cattle company for fenc
ing 27,000 acres east of Cheyenne, and
against William MacFarlano of MacFar
lane Wyo. for illegally fencing about
10,000 acres.
Joke Was on Them.
The charivari party organized' Wed
nesday evening to do the honors to Mr.
and Mrs. Homer Hampton had a rather
hard time locating the young couple.
The first rumor was to the effect that
they were staving with Mr. and Mrs. A.
G. Maine for the evening, so the crowd
forthwith proceeded to Mr. Maines with
their tin pans, sleigh bells and lungs
and fairly poked a hole in the atmos
phere. However no one but Mr. and
Mrs. Maine put in an appearance and
after investsgatiug the premises, looking
under tho beds and into the closets, the
party finally proceeded to the home of
•J. W..Riggen. After vociferously mak
ing their presence known for some time
tho bride and groom were discovered in
the crowd equipiied with tin pans and
assisting with the charivari.
The crowd was invited in and ice cream
and cake were served, with cigars on
the side.
