joyous hours were whiled away. Among those present were: Misses Lumley, Mary Runyan, Frank Newcomb, Mabelle Gilbert, Emelia and Frances Ott, Mary Kephart and Mrs. Morrill, Messrs. R. L. Black, Con Sullivan, Bert Gilbert, Otto Ar- nold, J. S. Carter, G. W. Miles and John Ott. J. J. Bell and family and P. McPherson have returned from their camping expedition on the Whitewater, much refreshed from the trip. Me met with a narrow escape from instant death while out hunting. He was sitting on an im- mense balancing rock. His weight was sufficient to start the rock rolling down a steep precipice, but Me was fortunate enough to fall behind the rock, which saved his life. Had he fallen in front of the rock he never would have known what hurt him. ( 71 ) Gould Caught “Windy Dick” Huber, Clark and Gould, three of the escaped prisoners from the pen at Santa Fe, were at Fairview last Friday, and went from there by way of Diamond creek to Grozur’s ranch, from which point they have not so far been traced. Huber is well acquainted with the country and will no doubt be bold enough to take his companions to some of his old haunts in this section. The territory will pay a reward of $100 each for the capture and return of the convicts and miners and ranchmen will do well to look out for them.
