A Stag Party.

A stag party was given last night by
Frank q. Haskell, at his pleasant home
on Ouray between 9th and 7th streets.
to number of his friends in honor Of
j. G. Vining, the newly appointed train
master OF the Midland, who formerly
acted as joint agent in this city.
The company assembled early in the
evening and remained until midnight,
enjoying the open handed hospitality Of
the host.
1t was a meeting of choice spirits who
prefer to look on the bright eide Of life,
and fun and entertainment prevailed.
Mr.. j. M. Silcox, acted as toast master
at the banqueting board and right royal
ly did he acquit himself. The host told
some OF his inimitable stories, ending
with the richest local joke of the season,
his experience as deputy assessor.
Others followed with rAe gems OF wit
among them being Mr.. Jack Gallupe,
]. c. Vinipg the guest OF the banquet
and Pat Clary
W. e. Longshore and r. M. Horn
rendered duet which gave good notice
that these gentlemen while bashful
have voices unusually well trained and
whose singing was rare treat.
Chas. f. Keene was prevailed upon to
give several short stories and character
sketches.
DR.. Walpole, whose talent as a musi-
clan is lite known presided at the piano
and besides rendering two choice musi-
cal selections accompanied the other
singers.
Morrison Wohlfort. the head of the
local Elk organization, related the inner
working secrets OF that order, ably as
sisted by Mr.. Jack Peters, recent ini-
tiate into the order.
o. D. Stewart who was one Of the in
vited guests was unavoidably absent.
His presence WAS greatly missed, as he

him for one OF the most pleasant even
ings OF their lives.

Political GIadiatOrs Talk.

Colorado's Senior Senator Hon. Hen
ry M Teller and the Junior Senator,
Hon. e. o. Wolcott, enjoyed CONVEX
sation in front of the Brunswick last
night. in apparently the most friendly
and cordial manner.
Senator Wolcott during the early even
ing stood quite time at the corner Of
Fifth and Main, at the Colorado State
bank building, listening to the socialist
orator N. l.. Griest. When he returned
to the hotel he gave Senator Teller a
synopsis of what Griest had said, but
neither one commented upon his harran-
que.
1t was quite an unique sight to stand
and watch these two senatorial gladia-
tors. Both men among the most gifted
and much talked OF men in the whole
country, both occupying the most exalt-
ed positions in the gift OF free nation
and yet widely separated as to aims and
objects in life.
Senator Teller sat bare headed part Of
the time and it could be seen that age
had set its hand upon the noble coun-
tenance of the senior senator and that
the struggles OF the past few years had
materially added to his years. The bet
ter portion OF what life holds dear was
behind him, while there appearantly
were years before the rugged personali-
ty of Senator Wolcott.
1t is we'll understood that there is the
most cordial feeling existing between
Senators Teller and Wolcott, despite the
wide divergence in political opinions
held by each. 1t is said that Senator
Wolcott has an Astounding regard for
Senator Teller, Colorados senior senator
while the latter admires the genius and
ability Of Wolcott.
AS the two were seated they attracted
a great deal OF attention and their con.
versation was listened to most intently
by those who were in the charmed cir
Gle.
The questions Of the hour or the sill
YER cause we're not touched on by either
while conversing, at least if they had a
heart to heart talk, they kept it from
the outside world.

More Indians.

There have jus. been added to the
roster Of the students at 'celler Institute
forty eight Papagoe Indians from the
reservation in Arizona. There are sew
enteen girls and the balance are boys.
Their ages range from twelve to sixteen
years.
1t is said that these new scholars of
the Indian school are about the finest
specimens of Indian boys and girls that
have ever been at the institute. They
are of the dark red mahogany color and
before coming to the Teller institute
never wore clothes of civilized people or
never sat at table or laid in bed.
The new students are here to take the
full course at tho institute and will be
quite an addition to the regular number

Special to Sentinel:
The past month throughout the La
Sal country has been one Of remarkable
interest and improvement. In every in
stance where development work has been
prosecuted with vigor the owners OF the
property have been rewarded with en-
thusiaatic interest not only in the bright
outlook for the country in general, but
in the discovery Of richer and more valu-
able mining ground.
The fact that everybody is steadily at
work pushing development is fairly
good sign that they have faith in their
properties and the coming of a most
prosperous future for the country.
The Davis stamp mill is being put in
shape to start operations about Septem-
ber 10Th. The machinery is DOW on the
road and the structure already complet-
ed.
ore will be coming down from the High
Ore mine this week in order to have a
supply on hand sufficient to keep the
mill constantly in operation whom once
started.
They have fine body Of free milling
ore blocked ouS at the mine and propose
running it through regardless of being

because of the closeness OF the har-
monies. On the other hand there were
noticeable two or three conspicuous cases
of eagerly answering eyes that should
be the example for all. This absorbing
sympathetic receDtiveness is the vital re-
lation between singers and conductor that
makes his best work possible. Constant
intent attention, be it again said, enables
a conductor of fine feeling (and here was
such one) to sing through his chorus.
Purity of tone is of course a fundamental
requisite in the make up Of a male
chorus, and this will sometimes influence
the balance of parts. If possible the first
tenor part in this chorus should be slightly
augmented, one more good voice would
make elasticity more easily attainable so
that the extremes of effect would not
have to be forced This chorus has every
warrant TO pursue the work with steady
elevation, they can go yet higher.

Supreme Court Decision Re-
wives Celebrated Murder.
GREENWOOD COUNTY CASE
AIgood Cannot be Convicted
Without Ballard Pardon.

The supreme court Of the state OF Kan
| sas has ordered that the district court
Of Greenwood county shall hear a motion
for new trial in the celebrated New
murder case.
| About two years ago Mrs. New, wife Of
the murdered man, and John Dobbs were
convicted of committing the crime and
are now serving life sentences in the peni-
Tertiary. Some time ago, upon the
| strength of a confession made by Alya
Ballard that the couple were innocent,
motion was fled in the district court OF
| Greenwood county for a new trial, but
| the court did not allow 2 hearing. The
case was appealed TO the supreme court,
| who rendered the above decision.
The reason why new trial was asked
| for is because Alva Ballard, who IS now
in the penitentiary, has evidently reform
ed and is determined to lead better life.
He has made clean confession Of most
of the crimes in which he has taken part.
He said that Mrs New and Dobbs are
not guilty of the murder of old man New,
but that he Frank Algood and another
man named Bill Turner did the killing,
and that Mrs. New and Dobbs were i'm
plicated. Ballard was sentenced from
this county for stealing team Of horses
belonging to H. ]. Hagny of this city. He
was the leader of the Ballard gang OF
counterfeiters and horsethieves. He has
made many confessions in regard to their
operations and was once brought down
from the penitentiary and located stolen
goods for the officers. He found several
horses which had been stolen by the gang
and also told them where some of their
counterfeit money was hidden. So far,
every one of his statements which have
been investigated, has been found to be
true and the officers have good reason to
believe that Ballard is making an honest,
clean confession.
1t is supposed that as he had turned
states evidence he would be pardoned
and used as a witness in the new trial
Of the murder case, but Governor Stanley
has refused to pardon him and 1t is doubt
full that Mrs. New andDobbs can De found
guilty as accomplices without Billiards.
testimony.
Algood is now in the county Jail here,
charged with horse stealing. When the
gang was captured two years ago. he was
sentenced for a term of two years from
Greenwood county on the same charge.
At the expiration of his sentence he was
brought to this county and will be held
here until tried. Bill Turner. the third
ma'i implicated in the murder by Bal
lard, has never been captured and is
wanted in several counties on various
charges. 1t is said that Algood can not
be convicted in this county without the
testimony of Ballard, who can not be a
witness, because he is serving out his
sentence in the penitentiary.
Tha whole affair is very much tangled
up and it will be great job to get it all
Strengthened out. 1t is probable how
ever, that Mrs. New and Dobbs will be
given a new trial and that should they
again be convicted, their sentence will
not be nearly as severe as is the present
one
