On Tuesday evening, August 19th,this
c ity h:ul the honor of a visit from a
number of Fort Collins capitalists, who
came in in three automobiles, after a
pleasant ride from that city by the way
of Laramie, Wyo.
They are looking it no the feasibility of
the construction of an interurban electric
lino from Denver, byway of Fort Col
lins, through to the Park. Today they
visited some of the coal mines here and
also conferred with many of our promi
nent citizens as to the feasibility of the
project,and also w itha view of disposing
of some of the company’s stocks and
bonds.
Walter Shields is president of the
company. lie is a retired merchant
tailor who has discarded the thread and
needle to undertake one of the greatest
financial enterprises ever conceived in
Colorado. He has the financial support
of Mr. Ed. Trumble, who has for many
years lived in luxury on his income, and

down through the construction of the
proposed lino, which he hojjes will ma
terially aid in the development of his
county, lie is a smooth shaved, rather i
corpulent sturdy fellow, with a massive |
forehead safely guarding what is, no:
doubt, a far-sighted hraiu. lie has a
fondness for outdoor sports and is a fav- <
i orito with the boys, all of whom are anx
ious to see him successful in the import j
ant enterprise referred to. He holds the
office of vice-president of the company.
Pat Ryan is the able secretary of the
company. Through his efforts the con
cern has mainly been put upon its pres
ent successful footing. He is small in
stature, of a rather nervous and restless
temperament, and wears an air of per
fect confidence and wealth. He is prob
ably one of the luckiest heirs in Fort
Collins. He spends his wealth freely, is
an ardent advocate of interurbrn sys
tems, and with the foresight of his illus
trious father, sees a great future for
their i>ortion of the state. With the eye
of a hawk, he is ever on the alert to
make money, and is always ready to
spend it for the comfort of himself and
the advancement of the county’s welfare.
Ho said to your correspondent today:
“Moffat may fail in the ultimate success
of his road, hut this enterprise, 1 can as
sure you, shall not be a failure." He
speaks and acts wit h the assurance of a
man who has unlimited wealth at his
command.
Mr. Frank Corbin is also an associate
of the railroad company. He is not on
ly advantageous as a capitalist in this
connection, but be is an expert at keep
ing automobiles in repair- The boys of
Fort Collins are fortunate in having Mr
Corbin with them for his brain is a per
fect commutator. Every idea is thoi
ouglily weighed and executed with the
greatest deliberations, and each is invar
iably effective in accomplishing some
positive results.
Frank Miller, past assistant county
treasurer, is also an associate, and his
influence adds materially to the success
of the enterprise
Nate Warren, John Rickman, Davis
Barkley and liny Fortner are not tlnan
ancially connected with the scheme,
but are lending their moral support to it.
They came iu a separate automobile.
WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22. 1907.
They are all prominent members of the
church and they, no doubt, will have a
most salutory moral effect on the active
: members of the company,
j Dr. McHugh is promised the surgeon
•ship of the road when it is completed,
and as appendicitis is prevalent, ho has
agreed to operate free of charge on all
or any of the members of the company
during the process of construction of the
proposed lino.
In a general way the boys are enthus
iastic over the proposition. With the
Queen city of the plains as one terminal
and North Park as the other, they can
see a great future for the line. Thous
ands upon thousands of people will avail
themselves of the opportunity of seeing
one of the richest agricultural districts
in the world in the valley of the Cache
la Poudre, while the mountain scenery
will equal if not surpass that of the fam
ous Moffat road. And the possibility of
visiting by rapid transit the once almost
inaccessible North Park—the garden
spot of the west —will be in itself a pleas
ure that can only ho appreciated when
participated in.
NIGHT SHIFT.
Trial Occupied Afternoon and
Niajht Verdict of Guilty,
1 .OO and Costs.
The case of The People of Colorado,
vs. J. N. Davis, Tom Don prosecuting
witness, was called for trial at 2 o’clock,
Monday afternoon in the office of Attor
ney Law, before Justice of the Peace
Crawford. A. 11. Law appeared as at
torney for the state and J. T. Shippoy
for Mr. Davis. A jury was secured coni
posed of Charles Bohn, J. 11. Fox and A.
H. Butler. The action was brought be
cause of a dog in the possession of Mr.
Don, which Mr. Davis as city marshall,
had shot and wounded in the street and
followed into the back yard of the bote l
to finish. The charge was malicious
mischief,the camplaint alleging that Mr.
Davis killed the dog without legal auth
ority therefore, etc.
Witnesses for the state were Tom Don,
Mrs. Sophia Don, Mrs. A. Goldberg, Wil
lie and Rudolph Don, A. L. Fox, W. Mil
ler Mosmnn, W. O. Mosman and E. J.
Norris,and for the defence, A. J. Monroe,
Brush Monroe, Morris FI in inn, Jack Me
Kee, A1 McKee, T. R. Cochrane, C. E.
Mosman, W. L. Snail - and A. A. Hunter
were called.
As the testimony was not in by 10
o’clock that evening, and the jury were
anxious to gel through that night if pos
ible, it was decided to dispose of the case
before adjourning.
The evidence was all in by midnight
and the attorneys made their arguments
pro and con,finishing about I o’clock, at
which time the court instructed the ju
ry to bring in a verdict of guilty, the
testimony introduced proving conclus
ively that the act was iu violation of the
state law and that the town ordinance
had not been complied with in any pro
vision, either by the marshal, or by tin
town board in giving instructions to the
marshal.
After half or three-quarters of an hour
iu deliberation, the jury set the penalty
at $1 and costs, and were discharged.
| When court adjourned it was sun upaml
tlie crowd was decidedly weary.
Decrease in Range Cattle.
That there is a heavy decrease in rangi
stock in all the western states is well
known and there is some uneasiness ex
pressed as to the future supply. The
rapid settlement of the range has so con
tracted the available public pastures
that the range business is becoming more
and more uncertain.
Added to this is t lie uncertainty of the i
right to graze upon the public domain
and as a result the big range companies
are either going out of business or re
ducing their herds to steers alone so that
they can market everything any season
and at any time it becomes necessary.
The livestock business of the west is
still in process of evolution. The pro
cess of changing from the open range
to enclosed pastures is slow but in a few
years it is safe to predict that the west
will have more and better stock and tin
business will be upon a firmer footing
than ever before. Instead of one man
with 10,000 cattle or sheep theep there
will be ten with 1,000 head each,ortwen
ty with 500 head each, as the case ma\
be, and eventually it will bo forty men
with 500 head each in the place of t in
one man with 10,000 head, which will ,
mean double the number of stock in tin
same territory.
Eor the next few real's, howover, the
outlook is for a steadily decreasing siq -
ply until conditions have been adjusted
to the new method.of doing business.
The future outlook ii. brighter than il
| lias ever been lb-cord Stockman.
MARKET LETTER
Break in Prices all Along the
Line—Heavy Declines at
Eastern Points.
Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. 19— ;
All markets were lower tost week as a \
result of liberal supplies and as prices
here lmve boon too high, compared to
those east, this market followed the
lead set at other points.
On Monday there was very little stuff
ir. the yards and prices were higher hut
Tuesday's receipts were liberal, and the
result was a sharp break on cows. Steers
held up pretty well until late in the
week but prices are fuily a quarter low
or iu sympathy with eastern declines.
Fair grass cows from the Rifle district
sold at v l 50 tos-1.05, but there was noth
but there was nothing choice here in the
steer line. Cow stuff is 40 to 50 cents
lower than a week ago and dull at the
decliu*-.
Gras-'cows sold on Monday at $4.12$
but later in the week it took good ones
to land above $3.50 and bulk of fair to
good killers sold from this down to $2.75
Bulls were in good demand and steady.
Veals closed fully a dollar lower, bo
cause of liberal supplies. Todays trade
was a little stronger, veals selling up to
$5.50.
Feeder and stocker demand good and ,
dealers bad liberal orders for good steers j
they were unable to lill as receipts were ,
light. Prices however are about a quar
ter lower owing to low eastern markets. I
Just fair western steers sold at $1 to j
$4.20 and medium kinds and medium
kinds around $3.25 to $3.50. Receipts
here to by were fair and prices stead}',
though eastern markets reported liberal
runs and lower prices.

Martin Stenholtz, one sister, Mrs. Estor
Ibdderstedt, and aunt, Miss Sofie Erick
son, who were all at her bedside when
death came.
On last Thursday afternoon,Miss Sten
holtz, who had been getting along quite
satisfactorily for a week, began to grow
weaker and continued to sink until she
passed away, as quietly and peacefully
a- if going to sleep.
Miss Stenholtz was a bright young
lady, attractive in appearance and pleas
ant in manner. She was an active
member of the Methodist church of Or
: leans, and had become a member of the
.Methodist church of Walden just three
weeks previous to her death, and leaves
many sincere friends to mourn her
death.
The pall bearers at the funeral were
Axel Carlson, Arthur Erickson, Ililders
and Arthur Norell, Siegfred and Emil
Hogberg, the two latter having been
born and raised iii the same section of
Sweden as Miss Stenholtz.

} ed the bereaved relatives.
Card of Thanks.
Wo wish to tender our sincero thanks
to all who so kindly assisted us during
the illness and death of our beloved sis

They had a most delightful trip despite
the rain and were treated to the sight of
two different bunches of Mountain sheep
on Kelly mountain. The animals could
be seen for quite a distance and the ease
with which they climbed the mountain,
jumping from rock to rock, was well
I worth seeing. Mrs. Suair, Mrs. C'apron
and Dr. Fisohor returned home Wed
nesday.
