A HOLD UP AT
STONEY GREEK.
Passengers On Last Tues days San Juan
Special From Durango Made To Give
Up Their vauables.

Last Tuesdays morning train
from Durango was held up at Stoney
Greek by three men and the passen-
gers were relieved of their cash and
jewellery. The train had stopped
to let two passengers off and take
water, when three men stepped up
with revolvers leveled on the train
men and demanded surrender of
their money, watches and jewellery,
serving the passengers in like
manner. Something like $50 was
secured In money and several
watches, rings, etc., were taken,
also two hats, but nothing was Sc
cured in the express car. One of
the robbers was a Mexican and the
other two Americans; none of them
wore masks. One shot was fired
at the fireman to make him get
Oft the engine tender; the bullet
glazed his neck.
The hold ups could not have
been onto their job, as several of
the passengers saved their money
by putting it in their socks and two
passengers had about $500 each.
If any effort is being make toward
catching the robbers this shop has
not been let into the secret.

THE FOURTH
IN DOLORES
A Large Crowd En-
joyed the Days En-
tertainment.

The Fourth of July passed very
pleasantly in this city, and nothing
happened to mar the pleasure of the
day, with the exception of the rain
which came late in the afternoon,
after nearly all of the program had
been gone through with. AT about
II o'clock in the morning quite a
good sized crowd had gathered at
the park to listen to the addresses,
but equally as large a crowd re-
mained on the streets. In his ad-
dress of welcome, O. d. Pyle repre-
sented the people of Dolores very
satisfactorily, in expressing their
sincere wish that those in attend
ance from the outside would make
themselves at home and proceed to
enjoy themselves. Mr.. A. w. Dill
Ion gave his audience an address
upon the "History of Our Flag"
that was well worth hearing. Com
mencing with the old colonial flags
as far back as data could be obtain
ed, he gave a brief sketch of each
flag from that time to the one of
the present day.
Next came the speaker of the day,
Mrs. Lillian Hartman johnson.
we'll known to all through her
earnest work for woman's suffrage.
Mrs. johnson delievered an address
that appealed to all, touching, in
an able manner, upon the topics of
the day, and praising our hoys who
are now in Cuba and the PHILIPPINE
Islands, giving their lives for free
dom as our forefathers did upon the
date we celebrate, r22 years ago.
Those who failed to hear Mrs. John
son missed treat.
After the cravings of the inner
man had been satisfied all repaired
to Central Avenue to see the races.
In the free for all race the two
horses belonging to Mr.. Springer of
Cortez. carried of first and second
prizes, Chas. Sumner coming out
In the lead.
The FIRST money in the COW horse
race was won by Chas. Hosea's
horse, while that of w. H. Peel
came In second.
The horse rode by John Woods
tooh first prize in the pony race,
and the one owned by Widen of
Cortcz, second.
The bicycle race was rather
tame affair, the first money going
to Earl Ravis and the second to G.
N. Senninger.
Rlbert Mum was winner in the
burro race.
In the little boys foot race Clar.
ence Belcher won the first prize and
Bernal Adams second, while Gil.
bert Thompson came out first In the
older boys race and WILDER Bishop
second.
The sack race caused large a.
mount Of fun and was won by

KILLING THE CHOLERA BAc1L11
How the Department of Agriculture Is Stamping Out an Animal
 Disease

The efforts of Dr. D. E. Salmon. chief of the bureau of animal industries of the Department of Agriculture, to wine out the cholera bacilli by the inocula- tion of swine with the serum made rn- der his direction are meeting with great success. This serum, which is made at the department station at Benning. is produced by drawing the blood of an animal having the disease. which is then set In pots to cool, when a straw colored liquid separates itself from the other. This straw -colored liouid which is the serum, is removed and placed in bottles, which are well sealed
 Last year about 250 head of swine were inoculated with the serum and this year the inspector of Iowa. where the disease ragged, has so far made about 1000 head practically immune.
 Hog cholera has been known to farm CTS and scientists for fifty years or more, and the anti-toxin treatment is the most successful up to date. What the origin of the cholera bacillus is. moi even Dr. Salmon knows, but it is. a. veg etable organism, and, entering the blood of hog it accustoms f elf to it's new conditions and becomes parasitic.

R. Porter Ashe, who was elected to the Senate from the Twenty-fourth Senatorial District by a majority of 25 votes over Leon Dennery, the Repub- lican nominee, is to be legislated out of his seat in the upper house of the Legislature The seat will then be given to Dennery.
 In order to accomplish this task the select body of politicians who are the willing slaves of Dan Burns propose to delay the business of the Legislature for the period of one week in order to secure time in which to carry out their plan and seat Dennery prior to the day on which the vote will be taken for United States Senabor. Dennery is one of the most pronounced believers in the omnipotence of Colonel Burns. He wants a chance to vote for Burns for Senator. Colonel Burns wishes to give him that chance. because votes are scarce in spite of assertions to the contrary. and in order to do so the colonel has mapped out a plan of ac- tion which will be carried out at all hazards.
 The plan in brief consists in deferring the permanent organization of the Leg islature. According to the provision of the constitution the Legislature must meet on the first Monday after the first day of January The law also pro- vides that the election of a United States Senator must be held by the Legislature not later than the second Tuesday after the permanent Organiza- ton of the Legislature. If permanent organization were effected on Monday. the day Of meeting, then the election of United States Senator would be held on January II. If permanent organiza- tion be delayed until Tuesday the cleo ton of United States Senator would not then be held until January IS.
 It takes some time to perfect and hear a contest. It would be next to impos- sible to decide the matter of a con- tested seat in one week, but it would be quite possible to rush the matter through in two weeks. If the election of United States Senator were post poned until January IS. the conspirators would thus have ample time in which to unseat Ashe and seat Dennery in time to allow him to cast his vote for Dan Burns for Senator For this req SUI anu IOI no OlHeI the permanent or ganization of the Legislature will not be effected on Monday, January g. the business of the session will be delayed one week or more; the people of the State will have to shoulder the burden of expense, and all because Dan Burns wants to secure for himself another vote

Colonel Dan Burns Is Engineering the Scheme in Order to Secure Another Vote for Himself Permanent Organization Will Be
 Delayed

scheme above outlined Colonel Burns and his supporters have given no con- sideration to the wishes of the people of San Francisco who reside in the Twen- ty-fourth Senatorial District The vot- CTS of this district elected Ashe in the face of the combined opposition of hired thugs, heelers and the riffraff of the tenderloin which rallied in support of Dennery. The ruffianly methods of Dennerys supporters at the polls on election day were of the most disgrace full character, and were openly counte- nanced by the police by reason of the fact that Police Commissioner Gunst was working in the interests of Burns nominee. Innocent and inoffensive citi- ZenS were assaulted at the polling places for no other reason than that they were suspected of being friends of the Democratic candidate. Hired priZe-fighters and pluguglies marched up and down in front of the booths openly boasting that they were there to smash the heads of all who came to vote for Ashe. A few arrests were made for the sake of appearances, but the offenders were immediately released and allowed to again take up their sta- tions in front of the polling places.
 In spite of these conditions and the additional fact that the district is or dinarily Republican the decent people of the district rallied in sufficient num- bers to give Ashe a majority of the votes cast. That he is not to be allowed to occupy the seat so hardly won is evident. Some time ago Dennery filed contest, alleging fraud. The con test was set for hearing before Jus tices Kerrigan and Groezinger. Dennery now contends that Ashe had not re- sided in the district for one year be- fore the holding of the election. as re- Quired by law, in proof of which he brings forward the record showing that Ashe voted in the Twenty second Sen atOrial District at the freeholderS' cleo ton last December. After all of the evidence has been taken in the matter it will be transmitted to the Senate. which will then decide as to which of the contestants is entitled to the seat The formality of counting the votes cast in the district will be dispensed with, as such an undertaking requires time, and it is very necessary that Ashe shall be thrown out and Dennery thrown in be- fore the election of United States Sena- tor in order that Colonel Burns may gain another vote.
 As the case now stands Mir Ashe may as well make up his mind to remain at home and thus save time, trouble and expense, for Colonel Burns will not al- low him to take a seat In the Senate. The time that will be necessary to make this decision permanent and legal will be so short that MT. Ashes per diem will not amount to enough to pay his hotel bill and travelling expenses.
 After Colonel Burns has succeeded in stealing seat in the State Senate for his man Friday, he will then proceed with his attempt to steal a seat in the United States Senate for himself.

Fast Fight Before the Queen City

TORONTO, Dec. 24.-Matty Matthews of New York met George Kerwin of Chicago at the Queen City Athletic Club tonight in twenty-round bout. They were weighed in at 13S pounds. Matthews landed at random, but Ker- win appeared to be able to stand all the punches.
 The eighth round supplied the fast est fighting ever seen in Canada. Ker- win started to rush but Matthews stopped his rushes with uppercuts and hard jabs and had Kerwin in difficulty toward the end of the round. Despite the fact that Kerwin was getting the worst of the go all the way through, he did the rushing. Matthews clever ducking and getting away was ap- plauded. In the fifteenth Matthews landed a couple of right swings on Kerwins face, but the Chicago man always came back. In the ninth Ker- wins nose bled and Matthews eye was cut open in the nineteenth. kerwin had the better of the last round. Matthews received the decision.
