Boyd vaughan's Ranch, Oct "a, 1897.
James Lyttle, Game Warden, Meeker,
Col.-Today, with a party of twelve men,
l tried to arrest camp of Ute Indians.
We usedsall patience, and they fired upon
us, and then we had to fight. On Snake
River, five miles above Lilly Park, several
Indians were killed and wounded.
Il have riders to warn settlers in Lilly
Park and elsewhere. The settlers are
gathering at Vaughan's Ranch, and are
very much alarmed, and think you should
turn out with what men you can to try
and arrest the Utes believe that there
were about sixty Utes in this camp, but
late information shows at least 100 men,
and some say 200. 4 have seen about
forty, bur they We're at many places, and
to, the settlers are entirely at their
mercy; so you and the Sheriff of Rio
Blanco County had better do what you
can to protect the settlers.
Yours respectfully,
"R. M. WILCOX"
Mr. Vaughan reports seven Utes killed.
The first shot was fired by an old squaw.

Warden Lyttle is in Coyote Basin and

Mr.. Adolph Walter, Jr., another bright
candidate on the Democratic ticket, has
already made a strong canvass in RepuH-
can strongholds. Last night he was in
Greenville where he found many friends
among Republicans, not because of his
thinking men will not support puppets of
a party which deceived the people of the
State during the last Legislature. Mr..
Walter has made strong point In his
speech of Republican extravaganza in the
government OF the State and the McAr-
thur act
Il Think" he said, s'many people do not
know what the Republicans have been
doing with the State funds Just think
of it. In year they have increased the
expenses of the State several hundred
thousand dollars. Besides that the party
now in power has stopped all develop
ment and Improvement in our reformatory
money to squander on favored schemes of
their own, but none on the New State Re-
form School in Railway, so badly needed
and the result ie the work Is practically
stopped for the necessary funds. They
claim they are refor1ners, yet when Mr.
Constitution mod ernizing our judiciary
system, which II 1t had been effected
would have saved the State thousands of
dollars and made law simple and less ex-
pensfve, 1t was prevented simply to crafty
the petty spite OF stin pettier boss.
IF these be not sufficient look at the
Macarthur act. That was a deliberate at
tempt to steal the. government of the city
from the citizens"

VICTORY IN THE AIR
Democratic Candidates for
Assembly Making a
Brilliant Campaign.
EXPOSING G. O. P. SINS
Allan Benny and Adolph Walter
Tell Some Very Plain Truths
to Voters.
EXPOSING G. O. P. SINS

A very strong canvass is being made
throughout the county by the Democratic
candidates for Assembly and Coroner, and
every place yet visited they have been
received with enthusiasm. Having as
\ sumed the offensive, the attacks on the
Republican lines are fierce and effective.
Never have the candidates for the Dem
ocratic party had better opportunity 10
expose Republican misdeeds than at pres
ent, and the Democrats are taking every
advantage of the opportunity.
1t is a significant feature of this cam
paign that many Republicans are even
assisting the Democrats for this reason,
which sums up the issue:-
"I am like others, mortally sick OF
party which had the majority to do ev-
erything for the people and yet did moth
ing"
No wonder that the G. o. P. in Hud-
son County is demoralized and apathetic
throats, and the people generaliy can
them hypocrites If they had thought
they had fighting chance they would
had to be placed in the field and nomina-
tions went a-begging. The present HIST
of Republican candidates numbers one
really strong man, one VINO mas peeh IN
politics for many. years and served the
county well. As for the others, they are
budding politicians, troubled with what
the scientists call megalocephalus. To
knock out this dummy-putty body the
Democrats have put up a strong lot OF
men, who are already telling the people
plain facts.
Bayonne, said this morning that VIC
tory for the Democrats was assured he
spoke enthusiastically about the feeiing
over the county, and explained it by say
ing that il was entirely due to
the failure of the Republican party to
carry out what it promised to do.
''In my Judgment me said, the sins OF
the Republican party are less or com
mission than of omission. If they had
really been honest in their intentions they
would have passed at least some of the
LEGISLATION for the benefit of the people.
With such a. majority at their back they
might have, for instance passed Dill TO
insure passengers riding on the trolley
cars seat Then, again, they could have
given us legislation providing for the
children in State and county schools
proper facilities. Did they?
But the head and front of their Of
Tending is the neglect to pass proper
Equal Taxation bill. That they could
have done that, even one of their organs
in this county admitted in an editorial on
October q last in which it says they hav-
ing no opposition from the Democrats
could have done anything. One of their
members, Mr.. Klink, introduced good
Equal Taxation measure, but did they ac-
cept that and pass it? The fact that they
did not infallibly proves their lack of hon
esty. and now when they come to the
people begging for their suffrages for
which they promise anything and every
thing, they remind me of the old lines

Song Of the Sea.

The song of the sea was an ancient song
In the days when the earth was young;
The waves were gossiping loud and long,
Ere morials had found tongue;
The heart of the waves with wrath was wrung
Or soothed to siren strain,
As they tossed the primitive isles among
Or slept in the open main.
Such was the song and its changes free,
Such was the song OF the sea-
The song of the sea took human tone
In the days Of the coming of man;
mournfuler meaning swelled her moan,
And fiercer her riots ran;
Because that her stately voice began
To speak of our human woes;
With music mi ghty to grasp the span,
Lies tale and its passion throes.
Such was tie song AZ it grew to be,
Such was the song of the sea.
The song of the sea was hungry sound
AS the human years unrolled;
For the notes were hoarSe with the doomed
and drowned,
Or choked with a shipwreck's god;
Till 1t seemed no dirge above the mold
So sorry q story said
AS the midnight cry Of the waters old
Calling above their dead.
Such is the song ana its threnody,
Such is the song of the sea.
The song of the sea is a wondrous lay,
For it mirrors human life;
1t is grave and great as the judgment day,
1t is torn with the tn ought of strife;
Yet under the stars it is smooth and rife
With love-lights everywhere,
When the sky has taken the deep to wife
And their wedding day Is fair
Such is the oceans mystery.
Such is the song of the sea.

SOULFUL SONGS OF AN AMERICAN BARD.

In pit deep dug in mother earth,
In transient prison nigh the wall,
Left behind was a drummer lad;
Clean forgotten him they had
And his petty fault and his ways of mirth:
No comrade stayed for to heed his call.
Buried alive there, he and his drum!
Tireless he beat it, q reveille
Would wake the dead, but no living wight
Was near to succor by day or night;
He prayed that even the ioe might come
Before he had starved himself away.
In vain; when the patriot band marched
there
In after days, and the rampant scaled,
They found his drum head broken through
With the hapless blows, and the drummer,
too.

Shrunk TO thing whereat men paled.

That faced the west and often, just before
The sundown, seemed transfsured with the

That flooded in and keen upon his sight
Burned images OF fame. And from the tree
Fluied nameless bird so goldenly
He seemed part of the sunset and the sky.

Of love and longing many weary time
And heard it never, nor can mortal thyme
Encompass all its sweetness; could the place,
The homely homestead and the subtle grace
Oy youth return, the magic moment when

But transiently, perchance the chanting bird
Would be there, too, perchance his voice were
