He Failed to Pass.

General Benjamin F. Butler was one
of a commission to examine young APP
plicants for admission to the bar, and
before him came a youth who failed
miserably on all that pertained to juris-
prudence. case law. civil law, sumptu-
airy law. unwritten law and due process
of law. Finally Butler, wbosather liked
the chap and wanted to see him
through. asked ''What would you like
to be examined in? You have failed in
everything we have suggested"
The reply came. "Try me on the
statutes: I'm up on them" .
Butler shook his head solemnly. my
young friend he said, 'I'm afraid
you won't do. You may be ever so IA
miliar with the statutes, but what is
to prevent a fool legislature from re-
pealing all you know?'

In the second method the brain was

Tertiary is the punishment inflicted
upon Frank Carson of Jefferson county
for the killing of Henry Dahlman al
Boulder last winter. A jury reached
that verdict at Boulder Monday night.
The case went to the jury about i
O'Clock in the afternoon. The twelve
men reported a verdict of murder in
the first degree about 8 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. fixing the punishment at
ninety-nine years in the prison. R. r.
Purcell and J. M. Clements, who con-
Quoted the defense in conjunction
with W. L. Hay of Boulder, consider
the verdict a victory, as the cas- looked
very black for the defendant.
The crime for which Carson was
tried and convicted was about as foul
as any committed in Jefferson county
in years. He had had a difference with
Dahlman growing out of a breach of
promise suit instituted against the
latter by a young woman of Jefferson
county. One day in February Carson
entered Whales saloon in Boulder,
where Dahlman was standing by the
bar. He is said to have pulled a ham.
mer from underneath his coat and
struck Dahlman a terrible blow upon
the head, felliug him to the floor.
Dahlman fingered a few hours in an
UNCONSCIOUS condition and died.. The
cowardly murder ELECTED a strong feel
ing Of horror among the friends of
Dahlman and all lovers of fair play.
Threats Of l%ynching were common. It
is believed mob law would have had it's
way but for the promptness of Sheriff
Sherlock and Deputy Sheriff Halford
in swearing in a posse and preparing
for the worst. Fortunately there was
attempt at mob violence when it be-
came known that Sheriff Sherlock
would brook no interference.
The trial Of Carson at Boulder has
been IA star attraction for several days.
A verdict of murder in the first degree
was generally expected until the de-
