All those who are going to make the
trip to the Four Mile district this spring
will save time and money by coming via
Wolcott through Steamboat Springs and
Craig as the bridges in the lower coun-
try are all washed ont. At present the
streams can be forded in some places
although it is dangerous, but the snow
is melting fast aud in a week or two ii
will be impossible to ford. Everyone
knows what death trap mountain
stream is during high water.-Steam-
boat Inter Mountain.
Our Steamboat contemporary deliber-
atelY, it seems, departs from the truth
when ii makes the statement that the
bridges in the lower country" are
washed out. The bridges spanning
White river at Meeker and at White
River City. and the bridges at the old
government ford on Gampa river and
at Craig are all intact and as solid rs
the day they were first opened to public
traffic. Don't fool the people, neishbor.
People will not travel via the snow belt
when they can find better route by
following in the wake of four horse
mail coaches all the way from Rifle to
the gold fields.

in degree than the one in question, are
common everywhere in the United
States. If the right of trial by jury
must be preserved the laws should be so
changed, that nah who does not read
the papers, the man who has not heard
of the case (if it bea trial for murder
committed IN his own county, and es-
peciallv the man who, having heard of
the case, has formed no opinion, should
be excluded from serving on the jury.
Character and intelligence should de-
termine the choice OF jurors. A jury
possessed of these qualifications would
invariably give verdict in accordance
with the evidence produced at the trial.
1t is never the innocent who fear to be
tried by an intelligent and conscen-
tious body of men. Our present system
of criminal trials Indirectly promote
crime. The English method of trying
those accused of murder before three or
more judges is infinitely preferable to
the American, but u it would be un-
constitutional herA we must change

Odd Fellows Natal Day.

Per last weeks announcement the
Odd Fellows of Meeker did their share
towards celebrating ION Wednesday, the
26th) the 74th anniversary of the order
in the United States. The arrange-
ments were well attended to in all the
details, and everything passed off pleas
antly.
AT the appointed hour in the after
noon the members congregated at their
hall, attired themselves in full regalia,
and, forming into line, then paraded the
principal streets. The martial band ac-
companying the procession added a
military air to the occasion, and under
the command of DIR. Young several
difficult figures in drilling were rem
dered during the march.
Arriving at the court house series
of exercises were gone through with
which call for more than passing notice.
After the opening chorus a prayer was
offered by Rev. o. +. Ostensou, who
. acted as chaplain for the occasion. This
was followed by the ceremonial as laid
down in the ritual. and Past Grand A.
Burnham and Noble Grand w. E..
Simpson filed their positions creditably.
The chaplain responded with prayer,
after which an able paper on Odd Eel
lowship was read by Mr.. Burnham, fol-
lowed by MIR. |. G. Mitchell in very ap-
propriate remarks. Rev. Ostenson then
delivered an interesting discourse,
which was listened to with rapt atten-
tion aud it justly received the praises of
an appreciative audience. a few songs
appropriate to the occasion were inter-
spersed with the exercises
The Odd Fellows then returned to
their hall, disbanded and spent the re-
mainder of the day in social chit,chat
and other advertisements.
In the evening the four hundred as
sembled at the conrt house hall and a
dance was INDUCED in till the dawn of
the gray. About midnight an elegant
supper was partaken of at the Meeker
hotel.
The celebration on the whole was a
success in every particuiay, and speaks
well for the local lodge.

The Euoel Verdict.

Much dissatisfaction exists in this
community over the verdict in the En-
gel case. The general sentiment can
be expressed in four words-"An out
rage on justice" But it seems to be
impossible to get just verdict from a
Garfield county jury.
The Glenwood Avalanche gives the
closing scenes in the case as follows:
When Judge Rucker took his seat
Friday morning there was a large crowd
present TO hear sentence imposed upon
Israel Engel, the now famous prisoner
who has been found guilty of murder
ing Samuel Bernstein. The convicted
man, his wife and children were all in
the court room. When Judge Rucker
asked him why sentence should not he
imposed he did not even look up, and
his face wore that same unconditional,
almost stupid look that has been so fire.
quently commented on by people in the
court room.
In passing sentence the Judge said
ut is the judgment of this court that
you are guilty, and it is my duty to
give you the punishment imposed by
the law for involuntary manslaughter,
but. sir, you are exceedingly fortunate.
1 have listened to the entire evidence
of this case, and you were proved by
that evidence guilty of murder as
charged in the information, and beyond
a reasonable doubt-and beyond even a
possible doubt"
The judge then sentenced him to one
year in the county Jail.
Afterward in sentencing Leon Black
burn for forgery the judge said, You
have heard me forced to give a man
charged with murder only year in the
county Jail, and | want to say that there
is some obstruction to the giving OF
punishment in this county, and under
verdicts rendered. puuishments sufli-
cient to prevent crime cannot be given.
The judge claims the prosecution did
its duty, and that all blame, if any, rests
with the jury in the case.
Leon Blackburn, alias Harry Kelly
was then brought before the bar. lie

forged check, also to passing a forged

Our jury system.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
The verdict in the Engel case is one
more proof of the worthlessness of the
jury system as an instrument of justice
or as a protection to society. 1t is true
that such juries can be found only in
Garfield county and in the Fiji islands,
but inscriptions verdicts, less venal
