The people of Saratoga and the i
valley have been in the toils of an ;
epidemic the past ten days. It j
partakes of the nature of the grip,
cold, influenza, measles, whooping
cough, and yellow jaundice, and
makes a man feel too utterly wret
ched for any use. We know, be
cause we have been there.
W. J. Dawson and George Post,
of Walden, Colo., came down from
North Park yesterday. Mr. Daw
son is in business in Walden, and
Mr. Post is a freighter for Mosman
& Co., of that place. Mr. Dawson
has a valuable thoroughbred horse
which Sutton and Dunham have
had in their rare for some time,
that bids fair to be a winner in
time to come.
Mrs. Oberg was treated to a
very cold and disagreeable bath
here last Tuesday. She was wat
ering her horse at a hole in the ice
on the river, when it suddenly
gave way, plunging her into the
icy waters up to her waist. For
tunately her daughter, Amanda,
was at hand to pull her out of the
chilling flood. Mrs. Oberg says
she is not partial to ice baths in
the Platte and never takes one tin
| less forced to do so—as in this
case.
