- A large audieftce greeted Layman G.
W. Chilson at St. Andrew’s chapel on
last Suuday evening. Mr. Chilson gave
an interesting talk and thanked thepeo
pie of Rampart for the endorsement of
his work, as attested by the constantly
growing attendance at the meetings.
The mail-carrier brought down word
on his last trip that a strike had been
made at the head of the Hoosana river
by some prospectors from Coldfoot.
He reports that all the wood-choppers
in the Flats had stampeded. No par
ticulars could be learned as to what had
been discovered to justify the rusii.
Statement of Facts
To THE public: That the freight rate
to Glen was “cut” by me was due to
the action of S. E. Heeter, who has
many rates. Last fall I took a contract
from the What Cheer Bar Co. to deliver
their freight across the divide at 5c per
pound. Heeter had made that company
this rate at some time prior, and in or
der to gain the patronage of the com
pany I was compelled to meet h.s price.
At the time Heeter made this price he
was charging others 6c per pound. I
decided to have one price only, and gave
every miner the same opportunity to
get nii supplies as the What Cheer com
pany, an 1 made a uniform rate of 9c.
These are the facts in the controversy
as to just how, and whom ‘ cut” the
freight rates to Glen.

Investigation Farcical
Continued from first page
farco^ It was a foregone conclusion
that Day’s report would favor Wicker
sham’s reappointment. Now that the
text of the report was refused, shows
t at the end is not y-'t. There is i o
doubt what the president and senate
will rectify the injustice done the peo
ple of thi3 district. It does not always
pay to juggle with the rights of the
people.
Gymnastics Extraordinary
T ie freak, who dispenses with justice
in Rampart, broke his own record for
asininity in his reversible, back-action
legsl somersault during the past week.
Complaint having been made that three
young men, under the influence of
hootch, had engaged in a scuffle, during
wh.eh a door was damaged, and the
own3r, who stood by. was accidentally
h t in the face. Whereupon our dough
ty Dogberry made out a complaint charg
ing the young men with burglary. Ai
son would have fitted the case just as
well—perhaps better. Visions of Uncle
Sam paying $9 per day for keeping the
three delinquents a year or so, caused
his honor’s face to assume the shape
and expression of a pumpkin pie. But
ala » for human calculations, it s on ap
peared that one of the ring would likely
be drawn into the matter with unpieko
aat prominence. Acc rdingly the men
wei j; released on their own recognizance
—aitiange proceeding in so serious a
matter as a felony charge of burglary.
A few hours later the last drop of cour
age oozed out of the toes of our judicial
caricature: of his own accord he dis
missed the charge of burglary in toto,
and fined one of them for simple as
sault. NEXT!
