Mike Enright Suicides.

Last Wednesday morning at
about ten O'Clock Mike Enright,
well known and popular man of
middle age, who has divided his
time of residence IN Crested Butte
between rock mining at a number
of different mines and tending bar
for several of our saloons, COM
mitted suicide in a rear room in
Bruce's saloon by firing a shot
from 3S-calibre Colts revolver
into his head over the right ear.
Death was instantaneous.
Enright had been up all night
and an hour or so before had re-
tired to rear room to sleep.
The report of the shot was heard
by a crowd in the saloon at the
time it was fired, but it was
50 mufiied that it was thought to
have come from a bullet carelessly
thrown in the stove. 1t was an
hour afterward before the body
was found.
Nothing was disturbed until the
arrival of Coroner John w. Eng
land, who decided, upon examina-
ton, that it was a plain case of
suicide, as the weapon was found
grasped in the right hand of En-
right. He accordingly declared an
inquest to be unnecessary.
The motive for the deed is I'M
known, unless it be that his losses
of some s400 at the gaming table
drove him to the desperate deed.
The body was embalmed by I'M
dertaker Miller and shipped on
Friday to the family home
at Galena, Mo, for burial. 1t was
accompanied by his brother Jerry.

politics or personal regard for the
attorney in the case, but the very
right of the matter. If people
come to understand that some
certain attorneys are to be favored,
some certain itigants to be pun
ished, some crimes to be over
looked, then little confidence can
be placed in the courts.
1t is not judicious to place on
the bench one who makes more
there than elsewhere; it then be-
comes pension department. a
sinecure and the holder a mere
place hunter. The Office may af-
feet tomorrow the man who has
never had lawsuit in his life; it
can be used to retard development
of mining enterprise; it can be a
check to law breakers or foster
those who live by their wits.
In the person of Hon. Thos. @.
Brown, the Republicans have Of
fered the best material, best pre-
pared and most fully equipped
man in the district. He does not
have to profess a broad, liberal
spirit because his life has .ex-
emplifed it. he starts with the
Democratic majority against him.
but has also the support of those
who believe that the district judge
ought to be better. that any po-
litical organization. The only OBJ
lection that has been or can be
urged against him is that he is of
the Republican party; yet that OBJ
lection falls to the ground when it
is remembered that it was Re-
publican Judge who placed Judge
Stevens name on the Democratic
ticket. 1t shows that party poll,
tics does not necessarily rule. No
one is foolish enough to believe
that Judge Brown would be par
tisan on the bench. He is not
narrow, not bigoted, not bound to
any faction, no enemies to punish.
He comes with clean hands to dis
charge the duties of the Office in
the open light of day in an impair
tial and manly way.
To vote against him because he
is a Republican is to argue that
neither ability nor honesty is to be
considered in filing a judicial
position; or that the voter never
gave justice, never desired it, and
would display mind TOO weak TO
be considered in the onward and
upward movement of humanity,
mind not capable of conceiving of
justice. 1t is time for the people
so think, to lay aside politics so
far as this Office is concerned and
do something that will be for the
benefit of the people during the
next six years. Six years will be
a long time for mischief to be
done. If the right thing is done
now those six years may be full
of confidence, hope and peace

THE ADLER CONGRESSMAN.


II can hardly have escaped attention
that the ADLER members of Congress OF

1t is long since the leading Represent
tativc or Senator from Massachusetts
has hailed from Boston. New York
city almost never sends a man to Com
gress nowadays who makes an enviable
reputation. The same is the case with
Philadelphia. We seldom hear OF q man
OF eminence in the House from Cincin-
natl. Chicago. St. Louis or Baltimore
or the two party candidates for Presi-
dent who have come out of Congress
one was furnished by Canton, Ohio. the
distinguished men in recent Congresses
both have resided in small cities in
Maine. If we were asked to account
for this we should give two reasons.
One Is that the prize in professional
and business life in great cities are
such that 1t is difficult to induce men
to sacrifice them for seats in Congress-
Those who enter the Senate from these
cities are chiefly men who are possess
ed of fortunes. The other reason Is
that the party machinery OF great cities
is In such hands that the ADLER kind OF
men. unless they are rich, are shut out
from Office by those who control It, We
have to depend upon the smaller places
for such men as Charles f. IIittlefield,
