THE PORTER CREMATION.
Sheriff Freeman of Lincoln County. Col, Replies to District Att
 torney McAllister.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS WOULD BE FUTILE.
While Not Justifying the Act, He Says He Will Not Involve Lincoln County in Needless and Fruitless Litigation Against It's own Citi- zens-NO Politics Involved.

Denver, Col, Nov. 27.-The Rocky Mountain News prints the reply of Sheriff Freeman of Lincoln county, to the letter of District Attorney Me Allister of Colorado Springs, Col, con- cerning the prosecution of the per sons who burned the negro murderer, Preston Porter, at the stake at Limon, Col, recently.
 Victim of Misplaced Confidence.
 After telling of how he was infu- enced into taking Porter from Den- yer to Limon upon the assurance of leading citizens of Lincoln county that he would be allowed to pass through Limon unmolested to Hugo, where he would be permitted to place Porter in the county jail, Sheriff Freeman declares that it would be inn possible to get jury in Lincoln or any adjoining county that would con- vict any one charged with participa- tion in the burning of Preston Porter. He concludes as follows:
 Declines to Take Action
 .'I do not justify the cremation, but l do object to having you and Gov. Thomas saddle the blame of this burning on me and l will not involve Lincoln county in needless and fruitless litigation against it's own citizens or give additional advertise ment to the state of Colorado for the sole purpose of making, as it seems to me, political capital for somebody.
 No Politics in It.
 ''I want to add that politics cut no ice in this affair. While Lincoln county is a republican county, the men who participated in his lynch ing were representatives of all polit- ical parties. When it comes to admin istering death to brute who first assaults a child and then stabs and kicks her to death, take it that true Americans lose sight of mere politics and remember only that they are fla thers and brothers. It seems to me that we would better let this episode rest where it now is."

Wounding Him In Hip-Injuries
Are Not Thought to He serious.

r s. Potter, a variety actor, made de-
termined effort yesterday morning In the
Central saloon, on Second avenue south'
to take the life of Charles Washington
colored porter As result the latter was
wounded in the hip with bullet from
3S-caliber revolver. He was taken 10 MS
residence 1t is not believed that he Is
seriously injured Potter was arrested by
Officer Mayou shortly after the shooting.
Potters motive for the shooting. 1t Is
alleged. was revenge. 1t Is claimed that
earlier In the day he stole the watch OF a
man named Z. f. Lund in the same sa-
loon while the latter was asleep Lund
complained to the porter. Washington,
who was convinced that Potter had taken
the watch. and ultimately forced him. 1t
is said to return IL 10 the owner. Potter
and Washington came to blows over the
affair and Potter was knocked down.
Potter then left the saloon and the por-
ter returned to his duties. He was wash
ing the floor of one of the boxes when
Potter again appeared on the scene and.
standing about ten feet from Washington,
suddenly pulled revolver and COM
menced firing. One bullet struck the coll
ored man in the hip and another cut away
part of his sweater just over the heart as
he turned toward his assalant. 1t Is be-
lieved that II he had not been slow in
turning the last bullet would have pene-
trated his heart.
Potter advanced nearer to his intended
victim, who sprang forward and grappled
with the actor in an endeavor 20 secure
the weapon. They struggled for a few
moments and fell to the floor At this
1uncture Thomas Navin who happened
TO be present and II. Chatterton.. the bar
tender, went to Washingtan's rescue
After brief struggle the bartender
wrenched the gun from Potter's hand and
threw 1t aside. The porter meantime was
lying, bleeding, on the floor, and they
went to his assistance. Potter seized the
chance of escape and darted out into the
street, Navin and the bartender in hot
pursuit They captured the actor before
he had gone more than half a block

SAYS THEY REFUSED TO PLAY
MANAGER RISER AFTER HIGH
SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM.
University Has Tried to Get a Game
All Season, but Managers Efforts
Have Been of No Avail.
Sporting Editor Herald:

Sporting Editor Herald:
De2- Str-I desire to call the attention
of the Salt Lake public to the attitude
which the High school football team has
taken in regard to a game between them
selves and the University.
Owing to the fact that the University
Dutlain5s were NOT FUZZY competed Tor
sc--o@- work until the latter part of Oc-
tober, It was impossible to organize a
football team and get it in readiness for
a ne until the LIST of November.
The High school offered the University,
q -ame on the hrst week of school ba-
fore our eleven had even been ORGANIZED
rms, OF course, had 10 be declined. on
the 9th Of November I saw the High
school manager and offered him any date
in the season, having no game scheduled
Dut c0ulq gen no definite answer, even
thoU-h the matter was urged
Therefore. being unable to secure a
date with the High school, I arranged
- game on the 10th with All Hal
lows. on the Sth I met the High scbooI
manager on the street and he Te0uested
me to cancel The date with All HalIcws
upon. providing 1t could be honorab lv
done. We both went al once to All Hal
lows college and presented the matter to
Father GueymaTd, manager of the All
HallOws team, and he would not consent
to postponing the game agreed upon
InaSmuch as a game had been arranged
Tor the nth between the Y. NJ. c. a and
the University Of Wyoming, the only
date open before THANKSGIVING was The
24th- But the High school manager, stat
ed that II was too near phankSgivlug
days game However, in lieu of this he
partly consented to a game after Thanks
giving day.
During this time the University team
played with All Hallows, according to
agreement, with the Agricultural college
at Logan on the 18th and with the Y. NJ.
. A. on the 9th.
After Thanksgiving I saw the High
school manager repeatedly and urged the
game promised, which was finally agreed
hninU TysTg
--a=- the 6th fer the purpose of max
ing arrangements and other preliminaries.
the Hizh school manager said his team
could not play on account of one of its
DOstoonement OF the game When seen
on Monday. the 10th, the manager an
ro1-ccod that the High school team had
disbanded and the suits were given away.
We feel justified in stating that it has
been neither honOrabl nor sportsmanlike
IN the High school team 10 refuse a game
