John L. Noonan.


In presenting the name CT J. L.
Noonan for district Judge. the Republic
cans of theNinth district, do so with every
confidence that the people, irrespective
Of party, will give him their most cordial
support. Judge Noonan is an able jurist.
a man learned in the law and one whose
years of experience amply qualify him
for the important Office to which he
aspires.
John l.. Noonan is of Irish parentage,
both his mother and father having first
seen the light of this world in the Emer-
aid Isle. Judge Noonan was born in
Cincinnati. o., on December II, 1915
Was raised on a farm and educated in
the common schools Of Indiana; taught
school three years. After serving four
years as clerk and recorder of Blackboard
county, Indiana, Judge Noonan read law
and became partner OF Hon. Benjamin
G. Shinn of Hartford City, Ind, where
he practiced law several years, the last
two acting as prosecuting attorney for
Biackford county. Ia May 'S3 Judge
NoOnan came to Buena Vista to defend
Hurl Hiatt, who was charged with kill
ing John Clifford. In December of that
year 4 change of venue was taken from
Buena Vista to Canon City, Judge Hayt
presiding, where Judge Noonan secured
the acquital of his client. A partner
ship was then formed which made one of
the ablest legal firms in Colorado, that
being Templar, Noonan Il Page, at Lead
vile, firm recognized throughout the
entire West for its legal ability. The
altitude at Leadville, however, was too
great for Judge Noonan and turning his
eyes toward western Colorado, lie arrived
in GlenToCd Springs on November 8,
1881, after hard trip from Aspen, which
Mt that time was without the present
convenience of arailroad. Judge Noonan
at once took up his residence in Glen
wood Springs, or practically so, as the
ranch he located in 81, and since pre-
empted, is now a portion of the town,
where he resides. enjoying the compan-
ionship of a devoted wife. The gentle
man practiced law in Gienwood until 80
when he was elected on the Republican
ticket to the Office of county Judge, an
Office which he now holds, having been
reelected last year on the Republican
ticket without opposition, theDemOcrats
and Populists recognizing in him an able
and upright judge, consequently they
placed no candidate in the field for that
office.
OF Judge Noonan's fitness for the po-
sition there is no question. Those who
have come in contact with the gentleman
are unanimous in the opinion that he
possesses rare, clear mind, one stored
with the richest fruit Of legal knowledge,
ripened with conscientious study and
harvested with years of experience. The
voters Of this county are ever ready to
recognize ability, and we believe firmly
that upon the dawn Of November 7th it
will be found that John l.. Noonan,has
been elected to the position of judge of
the Ninth judicial district by a majority
which will preclude the possibility of a
contest,

WHAT SOME OF THE PAPERS SAY.
The attitude of 1.-THE Rocky Mountain News"
in this campaign presents spectacle of incon-
sistency that IL without parallel. Several
weeks ago it declared its open opposition to
the denomination and reelection to Governor
Waite. In language violent and defiant it
portrayed his unfi,nc5s for the Office he now
hold ard declared that mis- reelection would be
public calamity. When a. w. Mclntire was
nominated as the Republican candidate the
News" gave cOgent reasons why ne should
not be elected The Democratic party nomi-
mated Hon. C. g. Thomas and the News" gave
him its unqualified endorsement as eminently
fitted in every respect 10 administer the affairs
Of state. The News then announced its
absolute independence from all party shaclsles,
and that it proposes to labor for the best inter
ests Of the people of Colombo. In the face OF
these brave declarations everybody recognized
that the News had definitely outlined the
path it compelled to follow. And they
said: ''FOr once the News has committed
itself to Il definite line of action from which
there is no escape" 1t was the first time in
the long and siGuOus Career of that paper that
1t had provided no line of retreat. Its unerriug
instinct for getting on the wrong track, how
eyet, came to the rescue, and without the
slightest exhibition of nausea it now gives its
cordial support to the candidate for governor
whose election it SO recently declared would be
a calamity to the people and disgrace TO the
state.
In family row the wife got the best of It and
drove her lord under the bed. She ordered him
to come out. but from his secure retreat ne

well acquainted with the chameleon like charuc-
ter Of that brilliant and scholarly gentleman,
SIR, Patterson this would be startling but to
the student OF matters politically in Colorado
the apparent facts are significant only of the
consistency Of Sir. Patterson to his record of
Inconsistency. This may sound somewhat
mixed but it isn't. We have long looked for a
decided switch" upon the part Of the News
and have been rather surprised that 1t has for
50 long been deferred and the only thing that
puzzles US is whether Tom swallowed Waite,
brides and all, or whether he has himself
fallen into the capacfous NAV Of soaring

POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE,

Phoebe Cousins, the Gfccnback-An
POpulist orator imported from Missouri by the
Waite party, has no love for the old soldier.
In her speeches she gays the Republicans must
have been hard up for material when they
nominated General Carr, the one armed vet
Gran, for attorney general. Miss Couzens claims
to be u female sulfragist, but she is not willing
% give Gen. Carr credit for the fight he made
In the constitutional convention of IS757j, in
which he took advanced ground In favor Of
extending the ballot to women. Blinded by
hgtred, Miss CouzeuB oyeriooks Gen Carr's
early services Ia bchglf Of her sex; but II
wasn't on account u these services that he re-
celyed the nomination for attorney general
on the present occasion, but because of his
weil-known ability and integrity, aud-iiyron
l.. Carr is the soul Of honor.

The county Democratic convention
which assembled in this city today, was
a harmonious gathering of enthusiastic
Democrats. Music and oratory flowed
freely. with an old time Democratic
love feast as a result.
The ticket nominated is the strong
est ever put in the field and is a sure
winner.
The ostracised vote, which will be
a new factor in the election, is safely
Democratic. The hopes of Democrats
for success have never been so pro-
nounced. The strongest fight devel-
oped in the convention was for sher-
iff. between ex-Sheriff Joseph Jones
and NJ. J. Davis. the former being de-
feated by a very small margin.
The platform declares for free coin
age at 16 to 1; demands retrenchment
of county affairs; declares for home
industry, condemning the policy of
county officers sending abroad for sup
plies; asks irrigation legislation; en-
dorseS the Cleveland administration
and state platform, and pledges hearty
support to state officers.

Sandstone. Mimi, Sept. 3-All that
remains of what was once the prosper
Gus village of Sandstone is the small
shack used by the Sandstone company
for an office, and this would have met
the fate of the other buildings, but
for the fact that it was located near
the quarry and the flames missed it.
Crowded into this building and ferry
house were over 200 people who had
lost their homes and everything they
possessed except the clothing which
they wore When the st. Paul &
Duluth relief train, which left Duluth
at o'clock, arrived at Millers juno
ton. word was received that the town
Of Sandstone was entirely burned and
the people were in need of immediate
assistance. A party of the relief COM
mittee aboard the train started with
provisions to look after the destitute
people. After passing the Eastern Min
nesota tracks and just before coming
to the glowing Goals and ashes that
marked all that remained of Sand
stone. several bodies were seen, the
victims apparently having been over
taken by the flames as they were flee
| ing to safety. On reaching the quarry
below the town where the people who
were saved were awaiting aid, they
were given provisions and those who
were uninjured were sent forward to
| the relief train about four or five miles
Those who were burned and number
of children were left in the office build
| ing until today, when they will be
cared for by another relief train.
! All those saved at Sandstone were in
the river while the cyclone of flames
passed, and only managed to escape by
wading in the water as far as posi-
| BILE and then throwing water over each
others heads.
The coming of the flames sounded
like thunder, and with such rapidity
did they come that the people who lin
gered to save property or neglected to
seek safety in the river persisted in
the flames. AS far as could be learned
between, forty and fifty bodies were
scattered about the streets, burned to
crisp. The relief committee had paid
but little attention to bodies as the
living required immediate attention.
| The town boosted of a waterworks, but
as one of the citizens remarked: "The
whole of Kettle river would not have
| had any effect on the solid sheet of
fiamss that advanced on the town and
swept it out of existence in less than
an hour.
The relief train took back about 245
people to Duluth for aid.
| At Sandstone Junction, H. Llnds'
wife and five children have persisted.
Lind was badly burned but is still alive.
Mr.. Greenfield's wife and six children,
| of the same place, were burned. The
ibridge Waterman for the Duluth, of
Sandstone, was so badly burned that
he committed suicide before the rescu-
ing party arrived.
