A Sensational Shooting In North End of the Park—John Price Killed by Norv. King Wednesday morning—Trouble Grew Out of a Trivial Matter. As near as we can learn tho facts John Prioc, who was a ranchman in the North End of the Park, asked and urged that Norv. King, who is the Laramie-Walden stage driver on this end, to deliver his mail and packages at 25 cents per month. This, King would not agree to do, as others were paying 50 cents for the same service. This angered Price, since which time he has been acting badly, and about toil days ago attacked King with a kuife and made ugly threats. Wednesday morning Price met King again, and the shooting with the fatal effect was the refcult. The gun used was a riile, tho bullet entering the head a little to the right and above the left eye, and passing out about as tar from the center of the back of the head. After the shooting King went on with the mail, enroute to Laramie, and notified Elder 1. 11. Greene, who was near Price's house, of what had occurred, and he in turn notified Mrs. Price, who went aud remained by the side of her dead husband, until Undertaker Caprou aud W. D. Beckwith, J. P., called to convey the body to Walden, where it arrived Wednesday night about 9 o’clock. Full particulars will he given after the Corouor’s inquest. Coronor and Sheriff' arrived from Fort Collins Inst night. Death of Patrick Murtha. “Old Pat,” the pioneer blacksmith of Walden, died about 2:30 a. m. | March 18, in tho dingy little shack ! back of his blackship shop, of general j peritonitis. About ten days ago he | j was sick a few days, and bo far re > covered as to go out on the street, and probably caught cold, which seemed to settle in the organ named, and in flammation rapidly spread and was soon Dcyoud control. Dr. Fischer attended him during his last illness. There arc some things about Pat’s death that make it almost pathetic. Born in the ‘•Emerald” isle about 00 years ago, he was a typical Irish man; but, coming to America for reasons that he never fully divulged, he left a family in Ireland, with whom lie corresponded regularly. Receiving letters from home he often seemed j melancholy for days, at which time he drank, often to great excess. In his wanderings lie landed in ' North Park, about 15 years ago, anil | followed his trade all the time after | his arrival, except a year or two that ! he spent in Nebraska. He lived alone, ! batching in his home. At times he | would have considerable cash on hand, at other times ba almost penniless. Pat was his own worst enemy. The demon of drink kept him at i tunes unfit for business for weeks. | llis inordinate love of the intoxicat ing bowl was a weakness that helped bring about his ruin. Living alone, he died alone—with the exception of a few friends and the doctor. lie often showed signs of being! well connected, and doubtless leases relatives who will mourn his death. Had he lived and kept his health ho would have appeared in a sensa tional daraago suit .-ot for trial March 25. It seems like the irony of fate that death should intervene at this time; bnt such is life. He was buried Tues day morning in Walden cemetery. Ou the coffin were some flowers and bits of green arranged by a few la dies of Walden. About forty people followed the remains to the cemetery, in a snowstorm. A layman read ex tracts from the Episcopal burial ser vice. two verses of “Jesus, Lover of My Sou'.'' were sung, and the mortal part of -‘Old Pat,” the blacksmith, was consigned to earth, licquicscat in pace. ORGAN FUND Entertainment. There will be a Literacy Entertain ment given at the Odd Fellows’ Hall on the night of Friday, March 22nd, by the pupils of the Walden Public School, proceeds to go to the organ fund. Come out everybody aud aid this fund. The organ will be for the school at Walden.' Admission’ 25 cents. e Hardtimes Dance. Last Friday night the Walden Star Dancing ClUb gave another of their popular hops at the City Hall. It was a “hard times” affair, and from the ragee 1 dresses of boys and girls you v. djM think limes were tough in deed. liut it was a difficult proposi tion to reconcile rags and tho dexter ous agility with which the performers sped over tho floor. Among t lie most liopi less looking cases oil the boys’ side were Clyde Web!) and Roy Wood, as close second, while Wash. Aldcrdicc took tho prize. They were followed by Orlov Lewis, Boon Me- Callum, Ovid Allard, Clarence Webb, Lindsey Coe, Fred McAvoy, Charles Bohn, Al. Green, Albert Rogers, For dice Brownlee and Douglass Lnngkoll in about the order named. That poor beggar-looking maiden Pearl Stout, was indeed an object of charily’, hut for the lurking smile that kiud o gave the thing away. The judges, in giving their decision, awarded the prize for tho Lcggcdcst couple to Wash. Aldcrdicc and Pearl Stout. Grace and Stout were good specimens of poverty in rags, while Della Davison, Sophu Brocker, were well patched up, but otherwise looked neat. Alice Shippcy covered her poverty in a faded cloak. Miss ltboda Moore was dressed in a cheap calico dress, well patched. For poor destitute people they danced with vim, and after supper, which was served at Snyder’s Hotel, they all came forth m tasty apparel showing the sham of it. But they had fun, and that's what they were after. Letter From Dave Wyckoff. Nagcarlan, P. i., Dec. 12th, 1900. Dear Mother and Sister:- I will try and drop you a few lines to let you know that I am still alive. I received your letter some timo last mouth, and you mutt think I am either dead or have forgotten you. I wrote to you while we were in Japan, enroute for here. We had a nice trip from San Francisco to Japan, but after leaving Japan wc were in a ty phoon three days and nights. I ne ver want to be in another typhoon. We thought wc should nil go to the bottom of the sea. We landed in Manila September 17, 1900, and ns soon as we were fairly on shore, received orders to go to the front. It rains here nearly all tho time. Every day wo hear of some go go's (as they are called here) and away' we go chasing after them, through the rain and splashing through the mud and rice padeies up to our waists. The undergrowth is so thick we can t crawl through it, and tho temperature is something to lie talked about, 1 tell you. The warfhre here is w hat is called “bush whacking" in the United States* If a few Americans go out with a wagon train they arc almost suro to bo ambushed. I was iu a mounted detachment a short time, and while there somo of our boys were attacked and two of them severely wounded and two horses killed. Wc heard tho firiug and hurried forward but were too late to participate in the affray. I haven’t fully decided what I will do when my term of enlistment ex pires, but rather think I will re-enlist iu the fourth U. S. Cavalry. I am sick aud tired of tramping and wish we could get to some nice fort in tho United States. Cuba is far ahead of this country, though this is a rich country, but it is all torn up with war. Now I will toil you about my trip. Wo were thirty-two days from San Francisco to Japuu, where we stopped two days to coal up and we all wont ashoro, and what a time wo had. Japan is tho finest country I have Been since I left the United States. And 1 have been to Australia too. You sec ’tis this way, We get al! our meati from there, ond Uncle Sam uses two transports to carry tho meat, and the y are kept busy, too. Well they carry an armed guard aud I was detailed to go as one of the guards, one trip. It took us sixteen days to make t he round trip. "Will now close by asking both of you to write soon and often to your sou and brother. David Wyckoff. Co. I, Sth U. S. Inf. Manila 1\ I. Death of Gen. Harrison, The sidknoss of Ex-President Ben jamin Harrison was of short duration. He had only recently been engaged in important international litigation. Since his retirement from the presi dency in 1893 lie has been engaged in the practice of law which was very remunerative. He was successful as a lawyer, made a fair president, and was a sympathizer with tho struggling republics in South Africa. He looked with anxious concern on our recent American expansion business, but not with the same approbation that exists in his party. As greatness goes he hardly reached that rank, but fell only a little short of it. He jvas reserved to almost coldness, llis patriotism and integrity wore never questioned. As an example of in dustry, economy, and perseverance his life is a good lesson to young American boys. One by one our elder statesineu and politicians are going the way of all the earth. Sounds Odd. Iu its write-up of a masquerade the Walden Union says: “Miss Larson of Spicer, assumed the disguise of a baby, and wore white with pleasing effect.” As wc all know what babies wear one would judge that the “pleasing effect” would have resulted in a cold for Miss Larson of Spicer.—Loveland Reporter.—[Sec the joke? Is Now Forgotten. Why is it that nothing is now hoard of W. J. Bryan’s Commoner? It started in with a great ante-birth flourish—the first number was pro nounced as hallowed as a new testa ment—extracts from its columns were copiously printed by tho metro politan press—and now nothing is heard or seen of it. Alas! How are the mighty fallen!—Loveland Report er.—[The Commoner Ims a circulation of 115,000 at last accounts—a pretty good showing for an infant in journ aiism. A few more than the coin bined circulation of all tho papers in Larimer county. The Commoucr is ail right. F. L. Tedmon, ot Lowvillo, Lewis j count}', New York, arrived last Sun- I day, being called hero by tho death ! of his mother. Mrs. Rachel Tedmon. ! which occurred lust Thursday morn ing. After brief funeral services last Tuesday at the residence of H. i K. Tedmon, Mr. F. L.
