DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.
George E. Shellabarger of Laramie
County Killed in Denver.

The following account Of the INJURY
and death OF George e. Shellabarger, a
brouher-in-law of E. S. Johnston of
Cheyenne, was published in yesterdays
News:
At Ais O'Clock yesterday morning, at
the county hospital, George E. Shella-
barger, the unfortunate ranchman of
Platte canon, who was fearfully mutt
iated in a runaway accident an the
South Broadway road Tuesday after
noon, expired in the presence of his
wife mad son. Coroner Rollins spent
yesterday in investigating the case and
arrived at the conclusion that the de-
ceased came to his death in a purely
accidental manner, no one being to
Blame. 1t seems that the ranchman's
'.eam was composed Of a quiet, easy 60
ing horse with a somewhat fiery steed
for a mate. The latter SHE'D at A. NJ.
Dunbar of 113 Bayard street, and w. A.
Ecker Of 141 Bayard street, who were
returning from Fort Logan on wheels,
and gave a student lurch, throwing
Shellabarger onto the whippletrees,
where he was held and dragged for
nearly a mile.
The death is ascribed principally to
shock, although the mans entire body
was more or less injured, his breast in
particular being terribly lacerated.
SheEabarger was one of the best known
ranchman in the vicinity of Platte can
on. He owned, in connection with his
sister, the large Lehow ranch, which is
situated directly at the mouth OF the
canon. He was born in Clark county,
Ohio. So years ago. and came to Colo
RADIO the last time in 1881. He leaves
a widow and five sons. one of whom is
a resident OF Mofhat. Colo.

AS people passed along Second street
last evening their attention was at
tracted 10 loud talk up in the office of
Judge Carpenter and occasionally
shadows upon the window curtains
would reveal the fact that some one
was making wild gesticulations. There
was not trouble, it was only a mild
hammered demo-pop meeting at which
an attempt was being made to fuse on
county officers.
The principal orator of the evening
was Ed. Kelley, whit is said to have
been pledged the position of deputy
into a support of the democratic candi-
dates for sheriff. Mr.. Reese having dis
covered that he was not eligible to the
Office of state senator, a movements was
started by Mr.. Kelley. ably seconded
by Judge Carpenter. to have Mr.. Car
penter slated for the state senate, it
being thought that Jahren is a stronger
man in some respects for the office of
county attorney. When the meeting
had beer worked up to the proper
pitch of enthusiasm by the flow of ora
tory from the eloquent Ed. Car
penter's nomination was sprung. and
Mr.. Carpenter being in the chair. it be
came necessary for Ed to put the mo-
ton, and the only vote he received was
| thar pf Mr. NJ DTunnp u'bn lo.,,
Gratis present just absolutely wilted.
1t is demanded by the Carpenter
wing of the populists that Mr.. Ulen be
slated for justice of the peace, Mrs.
ulen for superintendent of schools and
Judge Carpenter for the senate but
there is much woe in the democratic
camp and a square hitch in the pro-
ceedings has arisen in consequence of
these somewhat unreasonable populis-
tic demands. What the result will be
is now very hard to foretell. but it is
pretty safe to say that even the elo-
quence of Mr.. Kelley will be of no avail
in the effort to shove Mrs. Pease to
one side.
Jahren wears a smile today in conse-
Quence of the determination to permit
MIN to make the race on the demo-
cratic ticket, and Dad Kinnear is not
meeting with any particular opposi-
ton in his canvas for the office of
constable. Perhaps the reason he has
heard of no opposition lies in the fact
that he has kept it shady that under
the new law the constable for this pre-
cinct will get $50 per month. That
will be a pretty soft snap for some
one, for there is really e little to do.
The convention will be held at the
count house tomorrow afternoon, and
an interesting time is anticipated.

KILLED THE STEER.
Probable That the Beaumier Robbers
are Guilty of Another Crime.

Acting under instructions from Sher-
if Grant, Mr.. Stanton cut open the
steer found dead or the range this side
of his ranch the other day and removed
the bullets. They correspond exactly
with the balls taken from the revolvers
OF the young men arrested for stealing
Beaumier's horses. and the further fact
that the young men told a party that
they saw a dead steer on the range is
A suspicious circumstance which points
to them as the guilty parties. The
brand had been cut out Of the hide of
the critter and an attempt made to con-
ceal it by throwing 1t in rthe stream
running near by. Traces Of a fire where
some of the meat had been roasted
were discovered. 1t is hardly probable,
however. that an attempt will be made

the crime Of horse-stealing, which they
admit, will send them to the p~eniten-
tiary for a term OF years.

THE CROWD

South Bend. Ind, Sept. "A solid
mass Of people c%on'gregated tonight to
hear William J. Bryan speak on the
money question. On the platform were
Mr.. and Mrs. Snively and Senator
Blackburn of Kentucky. The latter ad-
dressed a large meeting here this after
noon Just after Bryan began speak
ing the premonitory symptoms of a
stampede occurred in the audience
through the efforts OF many on the out
side to secure points OF prestige. The
exterior pressure caused the solid mass
to sway and surge like pillows on the
ocean. Many people were carried of
their feet and considerable excitement
was the result. Bryan ceased speaking
and waited for the disorder to pass.
But the swaying continued and Snively
arose and made an appeal for order. He
spoke so coolly and calmly that the
crowd ceased swayed to listen and the
disorder passed away.

costumes they wore. Their pants were
abbreviated, their coats of unique va

To Republican Women:

The honorable recognition given to
women by the national republican COM
m.ttee should be acknowledged by
them in embracing the present oppor-
tlgnity to serve the republican party
and the country.
Never were there more powerful or
obvious motives for persistent and
united effort among women than now.
Morality and unity. the Indispensable
supports OF the home and the nation.
are being assaulted.
Where is security for the future hon.
esty Of our sons If they are now taught
the lessons of reputation?
Where is security for our national
union that cost us suffering and blood,
if partisan Misrepresentation and in
trigue ALLEVIATE the south and west from
the north and east?
In the name Of good faith and hon
esty, of unity and prosperity. we urge
women everywhere to help maintain
the nations honor and unity. This can
be done most effectively by united eff
fort in forming woman's republican
clubs. or Mckinley and Hobart clubs,
or sound money clubs. where women
can meet and discuss the great issues
Of the campaign, and can consult as to
plans and methods OF influencing vot-
ers.
In connection with and under the SUI
pervision OF tine republican national
committee, the woman's branch Of the
work has opened headquarters in the
auditorium annex. Chicago, where all
communications tt me should be ad-
dressed.
i shall he pleased to communieat e
with any person relative to any phase
Of the work. and to furnish campaign
literature and constitutions for the for
nation of local clubs.
l shall soon be speaking on the re-
publican platform for Mckinley and
Hobart and hope to meet many OF you
personally.
Yours sincerely,

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the Citizens of Laramie:-Lt Ia
my opinion that as a rule 1t is unwise
for young men or women to attempt
to enter the university before complet-
ing the ninth grade Of the city schools.
In some cases entrance may be accom-
plished before this stage and the uni
versity can o refuse admission to Its
first preparatory class to any n who
car pass its examinations on the com
plete arithmetic, grammar, United
States history. physiology and physi-
cal geography, but 1t will be dinscuat
for anyone except those who have COM
pleted the ninth grade to stand these
tests, and 1t is deemed advisable for all
who have begun to finish the excel
lent course established by Supt. F. W.
Lee.
This statement is made in view Of
The number OF students seeking akdmis-
sion to the university who have not
done creditable work in the schools.
The University of Wyoming stands for
the consummation 0 the public in
~struction afforded by the state and 1t
should not undertake to duplicate any
part OF the work done In other public
institutions.

TRACK IMPROVEMENTS.
The Road Between Cheyenne and Raw
Inns Receiving Attention.

Superintendent Malloy Of the Wyo-
ming division OF the Union Pacific has
been making some extensive improve
ments on the Fifth and Sixth districts,
says the Cheyenne Tribune.
James McGonigle. an experienced
track layer, as foreman Of the steel
gang. has just completed the laying OF
seven miles of new 7O-pound steel rails
between Grenville and Rawlins. This
is also a great improvement as the steel
taken up was old style 6O-pound rails
and were considerably worn.
Roadmaster Delaney is engaged with
a gang of men in laying three miles OF
new 7O-pound steel rails near Tie Sid
ing. Several changes in THE curvature
of the track at this point have also
been made, which add greatly to the
smoothness of the road.
Henry McGonigle. the thrifty road
master of the Seventh district, has
made a great improvement in the piece
OF road under his care. The banks on
either side of the track have been wild
ened and the general appearance Of the
roadbed improved by cutting weeds,
etc. Mr.. McGonigle is certainly indus
trious as Improvements on his district
are more noticeable than on divisions
where there is less to contend with.

VOLUME XXVI.

With this issue the SENTINEL celebrates its twenty-sixth birth day.
 During all these years 1t has never missed an issue or lost an opportunity to inform its readers and the people of other sections oi our vast resources and the grand enterprises here awaiting the in- vestment of capital.
 At no period in the past has the prospects looked brighter fo- Yuma than at the present time and we believe that ere another twelve months passes the inhabitants oi Yuma will see more capital invest ed in our mines and irrigation en- terprises than has ever before beer done or thought of by the most en- thusiastic admirer of Yuma's future prosperity.
 During the many years in which it has been published the SENTINEL has always worked laboriousIy and faithfully for the advancement anC prosperity of Arizona in genera and Yuma County in particular The SENTINEL has reason to be sat ished with its efforts in the pas and with the golden future jus dawning for this fair land of per ennial sunshine, it will be found battling for the best interests of tho people and county.

TERRITORIAL PRISON

A visit to the Territorial Prison at Yuma reveals a condition of affairs that we question cannot be found in any other institution of it's character within the United States.
 There are more than 200 inmates It the present tiEe, the majority of whom can be seen lounging about beneath the porches and in the shade of the walls. Many are reading the latest newspapers, books, magazines and perodicals, others chatting and telling stories while others are devoting thelr lime to games of amusement. Many of the Mexican convicts use portion of their time knitting lace, which they are allowed to sell to visi ors for their own benefit. While white men and gll, are al- lowed to make knick- -Snacks for sale and the proceeds are for their own use. In fact it Is more of a pleasure resort. than a prison and | it is shame to admit that but few of the Iaboring men of Arzona have much ss-pleasure than is allowed these convicts.
 The time has come when these men should be put to work on tht Big Canal.
 We cannot but think of the grear results that might have beer achieved for Arizona had the con- victs been at work upon canals ditches and reservoirs, during al these years that have gone by anC yeare that were spent in abs0lut' idleness and pleasure, while thu institution was sustained by tn, overburdened tax payers of th' Territory.
 There is no one within the limit of Arizona, so obtuse in matters 0 l finance as not to admit, that if th' convicts had been at work all thes years in developing irrigation tn 1 Territory would now have double it's wealth and twice it's presen tpopuIation and who would sa, , that Arizona wonld be the los;r even if she never received on dollar in direct compensation fo their labor
 Let them be put to work.
The Arizona sentinel., 1896-11-21

THE people of Yuma look upon the prison labor contract as a means of developing that corner of Ari- :zona and producing millions ofdol lars worth of taxable property where now there is nothing what ever, and all with little or no cost to the Territory more than it will be in feeding and caring for the prisoners. The Yuma people have that matter down about right -PbOenir Herayd.
