Preferred Not to be Arrested.

Some ten days since Deputy Marshal
Steward heard that an escaped jail bird
was in the vicinity of Rocky Ford and
was wanted at Lyons, Kans. The mans
name was Dick Woonecot, but he was
known here as Jack Davis. He was liv-
ing on Cecil Knights ranch west of town.
Marshal Steward went out after him on
Friday accompanied by his brother, Ford
Steward. On being told that he was un-
der arrest Davis broke into run not
sight. As he did not stop when called,
five shots were fired at him-three by
Charley and two by Ford. No effort
was made to kill the fugitive, but the
shots were intended to cripple him. It
is thought that two of the ehots took ef.
feet, but how badly he was hurt is un-
known. After getting out Of range of
the officers Davis was furnished horse
by Cecil Knight and made his escape.
Marshal Steward on Saturday had tele-
phone conference with District Attorney
Hotfmire with view to having Knight
arrested for assisting in the escape OF the
criminal. The conclusion was that Mar
shal Stewards appointment us deputy
marshal lacked such regularity us would
allow good case to be made against Mr..
Knight.
The night following T. F. God
ding's ranch house near Fowler was en-
tered and burglarized of pistol, blank
ems and clothing. Circumstances point
to Davis as the thief. Although consid-
cradle effort has been made to locate the
culprit he is yet at large.

. - Dameron vs. Swink.
The La Junta Democrat Of last week

The Rocky Ford Enterprise has
evidently taken the grave responsi-
bility upon itself to settle the contest
between Dameron and Swink by q
Wholesale maligning Of Dameron.
Not 80, we have only stated the facts
j. e., that there is no foundation whatever
for Mr.. Dameron's allegations in the
contest except that relating to Mr.. Green.
We have maligned Mr.. Dameron only by
statement of the situation as it exists.
The Democrat further says:
Does Rocky Ford think for one
minnie that because they succeeded
in cohnting to Swink and Crowley
the most votes that the balance of
the county must stand back and SUBJ
NIT to a fraudulent count?
Does the Democrat comprehend what
the above paragraph means? 1t charges
B.U. Dye, O. NJ Robins, O. g. Baker,
VIM Green, Guy Wood and George Oar
ing sr. Judges, and Harry Robins, IL. A.
Dawley, A. P. Kouns and I. B. johnson,
clerks, with penitentiary crime. These
gentlemen are all honorable men yet Mr..
Uameron swears that he believes that
they have committed grave crime. The
Enterprises statement that Mr.. Dam
9ron,a affidavit was improbable, lmpossi-
ble and ridicilousg Is complimentary In
comparison with the charge that is
brought against the members of the cleo
tion boards of Rocky Ford.
| Again we quote the Democrat:
And in regard to the Rocky Ford
returns being held back for the pur-
nose Of doctoring them, we want to
eay that Mr. Dameron Is not the only
one who was guilty of the heinous
crime of daring to think that they
might have been held back for doc
toripg purposes, and that, too, in ia
yor Of Swink and Crowley.
The election boards in Rocky Ford
worked all night and did not get the vote
eounted and the returns signed until al
most g O'Clock next morning. CThe two
Rocky Ford precincts have enough votes
to REQUIRE an additional voting place.)
Messengers left for La Junta on the 9:15
train and the returns were in the handle
of the county clerk in less than two
hours after the. boards had completed
their4work.i Greater celesity in making
the returns was not possible.
/ Once more we quote the Democrat:
The Enterprise stri;s entirely be-
yond the bounds of discretion when
1t ACCUSES Mr.. Dameron of ideas idi-
ptac. ~. -4.sil. : .sgl :.
O.jts
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1897-01-14

We said that tho charge TINT tho re-
turns were kept back that they might be
fraudulently changed in Swink's interest
was almost idiotic in its foolishness. The
Rocky Ford election boards diargedsch
their duty with all possible promptness
and without the slightest Indication OF
unfairhess or favoritism. All parties
were represented on the two boards by
reputable citizens. When defeated
candidate. without any foundation Tor
the charge, makes an affidavit that he be-
lieves that ten good citizens committed a
penitentiary crime; the proprieties Of the
case can only be met by strong language.
