THE IRWIN EVICTION.
NGDHZR/CT.

Some time during last Friday night,
an old man, who occupied cabin on
10th street, just above Ave. E, was
summarily elected, clock, stock and
barrel," from the cabin he was then
occupying. The history is short. The
old man had occupied the cabin, rent
free, for the past 9 months. Six weeks
ago the cabin and lot was sold to a
citizen of our town, who learned in a
few days. that the old man was claim
ing the cabin as his own. He went
to the old man and asked him by what
right he claimed the cabin. "By the
same right that everybody ese holds
property here, BY bypossession. " replied
the old man. 4 6w days before this
occurred. .the Old nan beeanoatenibly

The Crystal, situated just above lake
Brennand, has at the present time a
main shaft 76 feet deep, from which
drift was run 40 feet long. The
water coming in stopped operations
temporarily, since which time Mr..
Hart has been prospecting the vein
fora more suitable place to work it.
He had already sunk two prospect
shafts, each ten feet deep, and very
recently run an open cut of the same
depth on the vein. Mr.. Seldomrldge,
who is here from Colorado Springs,
is considerably interested in this and
other claims, thought that the opinion
and advice of Prof. Van Diest, who is
nothing if not practical, would not
lnjure his prospects any, took the
Professor to examine the Crystal.
After looking the claim over generally,
the open cut, just mentioned, was ex-
amined and the Professor gathered up
a handful of pretty hard looking de-
composed stuff, examined it a few
seconds, and quietly remarked, "That
will run very we'll" "How much?'
ask Mr.. Seldomridge. $4,000 or o,ooo
OF. per ton,'' was the reply. Where
upon Mr.. Seldomridge and others be-
gan to banter the Professor upon his
opinion. The Professor took the
jokes in good part, made few figures
on the back part of an envelope and
then remarked. "Tll bet any of you
IS this will assay over 5000 OF. per
ton. The stuff was sent to Mr..
Schultz, carefully assayed and the re-
turn showed run OF s,75314 o.. per
ton. This at a depth of ten feet.
Prof. Van Diest is man of extensive
scientific attalnments, Of large practi-
cal knowledge, penao1uai,c of the
Holland government, for valuable ser
vices rendered, and when he has any
thing to say, it is we'll worth listening
to. The Crystal has vein 9 feet wide,
with apay streak VARYING from few
inches to four feet in width. The
character of the mineral is native,
wire, ruby and brittle silver. We
have specimen in Our office which
shows it all plainly to the naked eye.
This Company is also working six
other claims, which are on good leads
and looking very promising. The
deepest shaft, on any of the claims
last alluded to, is not over 28 feet.
During Mr.. Hart's absence, Mr.. Sell
domridge, will see that work on the
claims is pushed vigorously.

down, staked it as a mining claim,
but he did not claim the lot on those
grounds, only on the stake, as the
stake read: 81 hereby claim 1900 feet
or this stake" If there is any lead
in his hole nobody has yet seen it.
Nothing but dirt and boulders have
been heard from thus far. The party
who evicted him, last Friday night,
from the cabin, compelled him to chop
his stake to pieces.
The lesson taught by the above, is
simply and plainly this, and it may as
will be stated right here without any
prevarication or circumlocution. The
people of Irwin are determined
to protect every one in the just right
to property, no matter what the cost
may be.

There is considerable speculation
m other parts ofthe county as to who
will be our candidates for county Off
GERS this fall. There are so many
names suggested by our contemporaries,
that we fear there will be "many called
and but few chosen" As for Ruby
Camp there seems to be very little in
terest Is yet felt, but suffice 1t to say
that if We should succeed in having a
candidate from this precinct, the
PlLoT will do all it can in support of
him, irrespective of either political
party, for if Denver will not let us
have the state capitol, we are going to
do all we can to get our people elected
to office.

IN the open air, but the company will

If the D. & r. G.. r. r. don't de-
liver the merchandise belonging in
the Gunnison country, there is fear ol
famine in the way of staple groceries.
In Irwin we are out of bread -stuffs as
we'll as other necessaries. 1t does
look as though the people ought to haye
some redress for the way they are
treated. Some of our merchants have
goods on the road for three months
goods that when they arrive will be
out of season, and necessitate great
loss, mining is retarded by machinery
being delayed, and altogether it is
coming to critical state.

Where Shall Guitcau be Tried p
What the Lawyers Say.

There has been so much speculation as to
the legal technicalities in relation to the
trial of Guiteau that our reporter went
around about the City Hall and its vicinity
to-day to get at the real sentiment of the
legal fraternity
Lawyer Warren G. Stone said that he had
not examined into the matter but he was
strongly of the opinion that Guiteau could
be tried and convicted here, provided n
competent jury could be obtained.
Lawyer A. A. Birney said that Guiteau
could be tried here under the law laid down
in Bishops criminal law, section 26S, of the
first volume.
Lawyer Sweat said that under section
731 of the Revised Statutes the prisoner
Guteau could be either tried here or in
New Jersey.
Col James G.. Paine, District auditor of
the Equity Court, said: " have not exam
ined the case and would not like to risk an
opinion. 1t looks shaky."
Mr.. N. Ii. Miller thought the question
presented was too important to give hur-
ried opinion upon it.
II will look up the matter and give it to
you, and ] will do it straightway," was
what Mr.. j. ]. johnson told our reporter.
Lawyer Fred. w. Jones said that he did
not think there was any doubt about the
power of the Supreme Court of the District
to try the case, and it would be shame to
the legal system if there was any doubt
about it.
Lawyer Tho;. JessupiMiller said, ''There
is no law under which man committing
an assault in the District, from which the
assailed died in another jurisdiction, can be
convicted of murder"
Judge w. X. Smith, of Alabama, said
that he had not given the subject close
examination, but he thought that Guiteau
was clearly liable to be tried here-section
720, Revised Statutes - ignoring the COM
mon law rule of venue.
Lawyer l.. G. Hine said he had not ex-
amined the matter, but he was inclined to
think that there was no doubt about the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
District over the trial of Guiteau.
Lawyer Ed. A. Newman said that under
the circumstances of the case that Guiteau
cannot be tried in this jurisdiction, there
being no statute modifying or changing tho
common law.
Lawyer William f Meloy said that if this
court did not have jurisdiction, then an
extra session of Congress should be called to
give it jurisdiction to try Guitcau.

Guiteau.

There is very little excitement at the
Jail this morning. When CRITIC reporter
called there at IL m. he found all quiet and
serene. The sentries ON the outside were
quietly pacing to and fro, while the soldiers
and turkeys within were sitting around,
apparently not at all apprehensive that
anything unusual was probable Or indeed,
even possible. Guiteau spent another good
night last night, and arose at an carly hour
and asked for his breakfast, which he
ravenously devoured in short time. A
guard stated to THE CRITIC that the as
sassin appears better satisfied now than Mt
any time since his confinement. Indeed"
said the guard, che appears to me like a
man who realizes that the ambition of his
life has been accomplished" At times,
however, the cowardly brute inquiries if
there is any danger of an attack being
made upon the jail
