Postoffice to do Banking

The Denver postoffice, by orders
received from Washington, is put
in position to do, in measure, a
banking business. Instructions
were received by Postmaster Tia
Dor yesterday that hereafter money
orders might be made out, paya-
BILE at the point of issue. The eff
feet of this is that any man may
deposit his money with the money
order division, pay the fee and
have the order made payable to
himself. His cash is then in a
perfectly safe place, can be recov-
cred again any day without notice,
and there is no possibility of fail
ure.
AT the end of the year, if not
claimed, the money is paid into
the treasury of the United States
and the holder of the order may
receive for it treasury check. In
this manner a man may have mon
ey deposited directly in the treas
ury vaults. This is regarded as a
long step in the direction of the
postal savings bank.
The Denver postoffice authori-
ties expect to do large business
in this line. The money order be-
comes as good as a certified check
for the payment of debts, and can
FIJI all the functions of a bank
draft. OF course the depositor
must pay the money order fee, but
he will have no revenue tax to pay.

Another Citizens Opinion

With much gusto, notice, the
Canon City papers are quoting
from the Florence Refner and
stating that this town must have
mountain water or goodbye Flor
ence. The statements made by
the Refner together with the cir
cular letter that has been distribu-
ted throughout the streets, signed
by Frank Warner, would appear
to the average business man as
very big bluff and an attempt to
scare the voters of Florence into
voting for the scheme in opposi-
ton to their best interests, under
the plea that it will ruin Florence.
not to vote it.
There is no question but what
every citizen of Florence would be
in favor of the proposition if there
was an assurance whatever that
sufficient water would be found
for the money. to supply the city
for its present use let alone for the
future. 1t is undoubtedly the
part of business Judgment to Sc
cure enough water to supply
town of at least 10000 people, as
this town will undoubtedly grow
to that proportion within the next
five years.
In conversation with Mr.. Ed
win Lobach, who has lived in.
Florence and Immediate vicinity
for the past % years, he states
that for several years he ran lot
of horses on Newlin creek and for
three years during the time he was
running his horses on this range
there was not enough water in the
creek during the summer and fall
months to water his stock and that
he was compelled to drive them to
the river for water.
He also states that he informed
our honorable mayor of these facts
before the expert was employed to
prepare plans and specifications
| for the water works.
Mr.. Lobach further states that
he would take the contract to furn-
ish Florence with all the water, as
good water as any furnished along
the Arkansas river, for $4,000,
and would not take it out of the
river either.
Jas. A. McCandless makes the
statement that he will back up
Mr.. Lobach's proposition and says
that water can be had at that
price.
Every citizen in Florence knows
that proposition of this kind
coming from Mr.. Lobach, who is
responsible for his contracts to
this amount, means business. And
that it is utter folly to vote $135,-
600 worth of bonds for the propo-
sition, without taking the history
of the past for the precedent of the
| future into account in voting
$135,00O for an uncertainty that
will cost perhaps $l75,0O0 before
the job was finished.
The town of Florence is not able
to expend such sum of money in
a purely speculative enterprise.
The above statement is simply
given for the benefit of the voters
of Florence. CITIZEN.

YOUNG MURDERER.
Five-Year-OId Child Killed by Youth
at Phiiade -phia.


Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE body Of s.
year-oId Percy Lockyear, WHO is b, eve j
to have been murdered Friday nI6h. by
Samuel Henderson, 10 yeaIs 5, was iCu-.u
in the bottom of Reduce creeh, aiA-
tieth and Catharine stieeus, anu Tee
seems little doubt in the MINIS OF tie
ponce that HENDERSON Is gLuty oil LnD
crime. He is now locked in a cell al
police headquarters.
The body of the child when found was
weighted by two heavy stones, one abrJt
his neck and the other around h S ami. es.
His skull was crushed in aid there was a
knife thrust just above the heart and
similar wounds on his bl east, size and
forehead, while on one SIDE of his face
was long cut extending IRON below The
eye to the chin.
Percy did not return home Friday
evening; the parents notified the police
and an unsuccessful search for HIM W as
made. Saturday it was learned that
Henderson had been seen in the wto.s
with the child. Henderson, on be ng
questioned, told different stories, but
finally said that while he was whittl ng
a stick with a large knife, Percy acct
dentally fell against the blade, which
entered deeply into his breast. The
blood spurted from the wound and the
child fell dead. Henderson said he threw
the body into a creek. He led the search
ers to where the boys hat and coat had
been hidden and also pointed out the
place in the creek where he had thrown
the body.
When shown the mutiated body of the
child, the prisoner admitted that he was
responsible cor the cuts, but he still per-
sisted that it was an accident. The pc.
lice believe that it was a planned muir
der, in which the guilty one also pur-
posed ending the life of another boy,
Willie Addison, 7 years old. Henderson,
it is said has been reading trashy novels
of the wild western stamp, and has
shown a desire to emulate the hero" OF
those tales. The police assert that Hen
derson accompanied Lockyear and Ad-
Olson to the woods, but instead of any
accident happening to either he tied
both children to a tree Addison broke
away and ran home. It was then, it is
said, that young Lockyear's death was
accomplished. Dr. Morton, the coroner s
