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.

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.
