AVENGED HIS HONOR.
DR.. w. =. Winters Kills William
J. Arey OF Durango, Who
Was Believed to Be the
Wrecker of His Homo.

The most sensational shooting af-
fray that has taken place in South
ern Colorado for many years occur
red at an early hour last Thursday
morning when DR.. Winters fired the
leaden missile that launched the
soul Of William Arey into eternity.
There seems to have been trouble
between the two, DIR. Winters ac-
cusing Arey of improper relations
with his wife and being the cause
ofa separation which took place in
April last, At that time 1t is said
the doctor threatened Arey's life
and the latter kept in hiding for a
time. The doctor was afterwards
taken sick and the matter was al
lowed to drop for a while.
About seven weeks ago Mrs. Win
ters applied for divorce, alimony
and possession of their daughter,
aged about IL. AS the girl desired
to remain with her father and he
refused TO allow alimony the case
has been postponed once or twice
and it was to have come up on the
day Of the shooting. The doctor
had stated on numerous occasions
that he was satisfied to let the mat.
ter drop if Arey behaved himself
and married the wronged woman,
but he claims that Arey had been
running with his wife. Arey had
been employed at the srnelter, and,
on the morning of the tragedy, it is
stated by witnesses, crossed the
street to the DOCTORS Office with a.
revolver in his hand and peered in
the window.
DR.. Winters had gotten up early
intending to go to Silverton, and asA
he stepped out on the street the two1
commenced shooting at about the
same time. The first shot fired by
the doctor took effect, while that of
Arey sped wild ofthe mark. Arey
then dropped his revolver and start
ed on run across the street and as
he reached the sidewalk fell upon
his face. The doctor followed, con-
tinuing to fire at him, shooting two
times after he had fallen.
One officer was upon the scene in
a few seconds and the doctor taken
in custody without resistance. The
coroner's jury returned verdict
simply setting forth the facts that
Arey came to his death at the hand |
of Winters. A warrant charging
him with murder was then sworn
out and the doctor taken before
Justice Houx, where he pleaded not
guilty and waived examination, his
bond being fixed in the sum of
5000.
The shooting created a great deal
ofexcitement, as the doctor is one
of the best known physicians in this
part Of the state and also we'll known
over the state, having served one
term in the Colorado legislature in
1884. Arey has been resident Of
Durango for four or five years. De-
ceased was about IS years Of age
and single.
DR.. Winters had no difficulty in
securing bonds.
The doctor has the sympathy Of
the entire community.

Owls are by common consent adj
judged to be birds of i'll omen, but En-
gineer Ned Barnett of the Santa Fe
says he happens to know that they are
anything but that and tells the follow
ing story to prove his assertions:
One morning as the east bound over
land was pulling through the mountains
west of here, Barnett's engine doing
the work, a big horn beaked owl DASH
ed against the front window of the cab
with such force as to break the win
dow, the bird itself dropping dead at
the engineers feet. Though Barnett is
not, generally speaking, superstitious
man, this seemed so singular an occur
renee that he stopped the train and sent
a brakeman ahead to see if the way was
clear. Strange to relate, the brakeman
soon returned, reporting landslide
across the track in the mountain pass
about 100 yards ahead. Hands were
sent at once to clear the track, and in
removing the debris they found another
owl, no doubt mate to the first, caught
in the crotch CT an uprooted tree, crush
ed to death in the fall
Barnett had both owls stuffed, and
the two now adorn his cab. always in
surfing him good luck. he says. Phila-

DISAPPEARING GATES.

A disappearing gate for railroad cross
ings has been recently patented by Fred
erick Nichols of Lynn, Mass. The many
advantages of such gate will be readily
understood Its construction is very
simple, there being no cogs or gears. 1t
is made of sliding and jointing bars and
angle irons and can be constructed with
out great expense.
A trench about four feet deep is dug
on each side of the tracks across the
street. The earth sides of this trench
are supported by plates of boiler iron,
instead of expensive masonry, bolted
to U shaped iron castings. To these
castings is fastened the lower and sta
tionary part of the gate. The slit or
opening through which the gate comes
up is, of course, protected from dirt,
etc., by the top rail of the gate when it
is down and when public travel is pass
ing over it. When the gate is up, the
opening or slit is protected, as public
travel over it is stopped. The bottom of
the trench is of gravel or concrete, and
it is graded toward one end to allow
WAUGH Wu1Cu uOoS AUb SOctA up W Tuu Oll
into a sewer or blind drain.
At the side of this opening, on the
street level, are cast iron plates covering
manholes, which allow a man to go the
entire length of trench to oil or adjust
any of the movable working parts.
The gate is counterbalanced with
weights, and friction is reduced to a
minimum, thus making its operations
easy. A bell signal is sounded before
the gates are raised. At night incandes-
cent lamps are lighted by contact being
automatically made as the gates are
raised Lanterns are used where cleo
tricity is not available.
The gates are quick and easy in ac-
tion, can be operated by one man, where
it often requires two by present meth
DDS. They can be operated from switch
or signal tower in many instances. They
will not interfere with trolley wires or
electric car tracks. The gates are raised
and lowered by the simple movement of
lever ON which is a latch, securing
the gate in any position. Philadelphia

Thriving Association of breeders of This
Fine Old Blood.


Thriving Association of breeders of This
. Fine Old Blood.
In 1889 few men who had been
breeding type of fancy road horses-of
the old style of Morgans-determined to
organize for self protection. At that
time every livery stable was decorated
with the picture of horse-or some
thing representing horse-and the
pedigree showed that such animals trac-
ed back in direct line through Justin
Morgan to Vermont Black Hawk,
Hale's Green Mountain, or some other
noted Morgan, or strain of Hamble-
tonian reaching to Rysdyk, while they
were only one or two generations re-
moved from Messenger.
A few old Green Mountain boys, led
by breeder of many years experience,
called meeting at the state capital to
take action regarding the bogus pedi-
grees so extensively published, and at
that meeting they organized the South
Dakota Morgan Horse Breeders associa-
VlOu. 1uc bObn4 misunderstanding az tAO VI :
ganization was seven, and they each
owned at least one well bred Morgan
either gelding, mare or stallion-that
they were able to trace in pedigree di-
rectly back to Justin Morgan. At this
time there were perhaps half a dozen
we'll bred stations in the state, but
more than 500 that were claimed to be
Morgans. The constitution and bylaws
adopted were somewhat crude, as it was
supposed to be-apd was, so far as l
know-the first organization of the kind
in the United States Several meetings
were held during the first year and at
each meeting changes were suggested
and made The difficulty they had hoped
to overcome was still facing them, and
it was determined to start a pedigree
register The requirement for registra-
ton was that the pedigree must trace in
three distinct, direct lines to Justin
Morgan. The establishment of such reg
lister had the desired effect. Horses that
were advertised in 1889 as being strongly
bred in Morgan lines had lost all suef
blood by 1892, and from that time unit
the present breeders of the genuine ole
type have succeeded in making some
money, and the establishment of the as
sociat1lol1lsna mas done much toward the

Cinnamon In Hawaii.

So great has been the recent influx
of Cinnamon into Hawaii that there is
a distinct danger Of the island becom-
ing overpopulated. With a view of con-
trolling immigration law has just been
passed making it compulsory for every
inhabitant to be registered. and to pos
sess certificate of the registration
which he can produce on official de-
mand. To the ordinary eye one China
man is as like the rest of them as peas
in pod, and one certificate would not
unlikely be made to serve for whole
clan. To check this every person has
to make an impression Of his linked
thumb on the certificate and on the
counterfeit, which is kept in the office.
As is well known, no two thumbs bear
the same markings, and these are not
altered by age, so that an infallible text
can readily be applied in every case of
doubt.-C Chicago Chronicle.

MALE SOCIETY BUD.

He Has Arrived and Great Things Are
Expected of Him.
If the poisoning of the female bud"
into flower OF society is proper topic
for newspaper discussion, why should
not the male bud" be also honored
with detailed ''write-up" in the public
prints, so that his charms may be as
widely advertised as those Of the at
tractive creatures who depend upon
rers at the german? Evidently there
is no just reason for the discrimination
from the point of view of Washing
ton paper, which presents in several
columns the best qualities of number
of masculine buds which are now full
blown.
The proud monopoly which the fairer
sex have heretofore enjoyed is thus
rudely assailed, and hereafter it would
not be surprising if the enterprising
society reporter has to give as much
attention to those coy young things
that wear dress coats and belong to the
club as he has heretofore devoted to
the ladies. Whether this shall prove
to be AN affliction remains to be seen,
but the novelty of the innovation will
no doubt lend some interest at first
to the apotheosis of the male "bud."
Blond or blondine, brunette or straw
berry type, he will be pictured to us
In all his stunning beauty.
The part of his hair, the length of
his collar and the brevity of his top
coat, the style of his boots and the
color of his gloves, the diameter OF his
eyeglasses and the angle at which he
wears his silk hat-all these details
and many more not here set forth will
be dwelt upon with the nice analysis
and painstakirg industry of the society
reporter. Eyelashes, teeth, trim of
beard or mustache, nose of Grecian or
Roman type, perhaps retrousse or ex-
pansive, will not be neglected, of course.
Great things are promised for the
exaltation of the male bud" and if
he has heretofore blossomed in OBJ
security the time OF his apotheosis has
come, No longer will he be violet
in modest seclusion, but sunfower,
brilliant, If not gaudv-Baltimore Sun.

CARPET PRINTING.
When the First Experiments Were Made
by john Bright.

Dy JOhn Bright.
The printing of tapestry and velvet
carpets, after being woven in the white,
dates back 90 or more years ago. Old
carpet men will at once recall the fabric
made by John Bright at Rochdale, Eng
land, and how he flooded our country
with his products. Their introduction,
however, was difficult, as they came in
conflict with the productions of John
Crossley 81 Sons, then the greatest pro-
ducers of the original tapestry and vel
vets in the world The difference, of
course, between the two productions
was that the Crossleys had the designs
printed, as now, III colors on the warp
before weaving, while that made by
John Bright TAPESTRY had its figures
and colors stamped upon the fabric by
hand after it was woven The latter
process, however, presented a drugget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration of the Crossley carpets
They had one thing to commend them
they were very durable Bright's goods
were first printed with blocks, and, be-
ing durable and cheap, their sale was
large in many countries.
Cylinders or rollers were afterward
used by Bright. the cue being taken
from calico and kindred printing, but
they varied much in their construction.
One of these, used by an English manu-
facturer, was very elaborate and ex-
pensiVe affair The engraving of the de-
sign upon the cylinder was very deep,
and the colors placed in their proper
places to correspond precisely with the
fabric itself, painted design. contain
ing every color to be employed, being
used as a guide. In fact, the exact col
oring of the carpet was placed upon the
cylinder and from it transferred to the
plain fabric. -American Carpet and
