Troy, N. Y, Nov. 27.-Since the re-
turn of the forty-two members of the

votes, as 80 per cent of the Rensselaer,
county men were Democrats, while rs
per cent of the fifty-six Columbia coun-

C. W. Couldock was so well known
to Salt Lakers that he was almost
reckoned as a citizen of the place who
had roamed abroad He came here in
the early days, played with the old
stock company, and his name is linked
with those of the fathers and mothers
of the drama in Utah. It was during
this early period that his beautiful
daughter died in Salt Lake City, and
her grave in the city cemetery was an
other tie that bound the veteran Coul-
dock to Zion.
Since those days he had been seen
here frequently with the leading COM
panies of the United States. His most
notable appearance was in 1890, when
he played a special engagement with
the Home Dramatic company in Hazel
Kirke." He had host of warm per-
sonal friends in Salt Lake, and to all
who knew him the news of his death
will be a sad blow.

H. l.. Brannon Stabbed by John Fry
myer and in Dangerous Condition.

Tuesday afternoon II. L. Brannon and
John Freymeyer became engaged in a
quarrel in Robb's saloon. Both were
drunk. There had been game of cards
for pair Of fine Spanish chickens which
Frymeyer had taken to the saloon. It
seems that Brannon's making sport Of
Freymer in regard to the game was the
immediate cause Of the cutting. At any
rate, after but few angry words Fry.
meyer stabbed Br annon with n pocket
knife Just under the collar bone, the
blade entering the left lung about one
inch. There are conflicting reports re-
garding the affair, some claiming that
Brannon struck Frymeyer, not, however,
at the time Of the cutting but some hour
before. The facts are that 1t was simply
drunken row and there was no real
cause for the crime except that both men
were drunk. The injured man was taken
into DR.. Fenton's rear office where his
wounds were dressed by Drs. Fenton
and Kearby. For time it seemed that
death must speedily result. He had a
very slender hold on life all during the
night but was better and on Wednesday
morning had chance for recovery.
Frymeyer was taken to the La Junta
Jail the same evening where he will be
held awaiting the result of Brannon's
injuries.
This is one Of many thousands OF
crimes which are wholly caused by the
legalized traffic in intoxicants.

The Denver News Of recent date has
an editorial complimenting the report Of
Mrs. Martha A. Shute, secretary Of the
etate board of horticulture. The report
contains the proceedings OF the state hor-
ticulturaI convention, the report OF the
secretary, reports of inspectors from
twelve counties, and other valuable data
relating to the fruit growing industry.
The News says: "The fruit industry of
Colorado is in its infancy. Followed
with the intelligent and persistent ener-
py which is characteristic of horticultur-
lists, it is sure to assume large and pro-
ductiye proportions and become the
means of bringing millions of dollars an
nually into the state. 1t has been dem
onstrated that we have the soil and eli
mate. Many varieties are still the sub
iect OF experiment, but the adaptability
Of many more varieties has been deter.
mined. There is vet much to be learned
in the matter af packing and marketing
Drying and canning plants are yet to be
established sn order to utilize the entire

ready been done, as shown by this report
is sufficient to warrant the statement
that Coio, ado is destined to be one OF
the leading horticultural states of the
