Death of Henry Blewitt.

Henry Dennis is in receipt OF intelli-
gence of the death of his friend Henry
Blewett, which sad event occurred at
San Diego California, April ID, 1900,
whittier he went some time ago from
Routt county for the benefit OF his
health. Deceased was former resident
of this county. Several years ago he
located in Routt county, Colorado, where
he was engaged in stock raising in com
pany with his brother Christopher
Blewett He was native of England
and in his 55th year and unmarried. He
came to America in 1865 locating at the
copper mines of Michigan. Being in
poor health he came to Colorado in 1868.
After locating in California in 1875 he
returned to Colorado in 1883, since which
time he had resided in Gilpin and Routt
counties. The immediate cause of his
death was miners complaint, from which
he had been a sufferer for number Of
years. He was man of generous i'm
pulses and beloved by all his acquaint-
ances. The coincidence of many friends
in Gilpin county go out to his remaining
brother in his bereavement.

Last weeks Register Call came out in
favor of the Prohibitionists and made
use of several misstatements, as also do
ing injustice to several of our best citi.
zens. If the Register Call had ouly taken
the pains to take look at the county as
sessment roll it would have found that
Mr.. Fuelscher is still one of the largest
taxpayers in the city, and that his inter
ests here are extensive as ever. 1t was
also bad principle to attack man when
he is away and could not defend himself,
but it is our opinion that such an insult
to man of Mr.. Fuelscher's standing
will be resented by all his friends. He
has always proven himself to be an
honest, upright, conscientious man, never
resorting to low tricks, and until last
week we have never heard any man say
that he was guilty of fathering anything
Outrageous. AS to the reUaining mem
bers of the council, one and all have the
city's interests as much at heart as any
of those who seem to think the affairs
should be run as they dictate. The
Register Call should also consider that
the members Of the council all have their
belief and convictions, as well as the one
it signaled out, because his opinions
coincided with theirs. The Register Call
also knows that the remaining six couu.
cilmen who voted with Mr.. Fuelseher
are not young boys, to be co-erced by Mr..
Fuelscher into voting as he said, tut
that they have reasoning powers and
wills the same as others. We think the
people Of the city need not fear to leave
the affairs in the hands Of these men.

Last week there appeared in the Reg
isterCall and Miner card signed by a
committee Of the so-called Law and
Order League, pertaining to the Sunday
closing Law in relation to the saloons, but
forgot to mention few facts. The ord
nance passed Sept. 2. 1886, provided that
saloons should be closed from Saturday
night to Monday morning, but by a reso-
luton afterwards passed by the council
the saloons were to remain open until
one O'Clock on Sunday and then close.
We are informed by one Of the aldermen
that after Mr.. Seymour's election as
mayor. he found that the council would
not agree to close these places from mid
night to Monday morning, and then said
that being the case he would not attempt
TO do 30 but would insist on them closing
up tight at o'clock. But either owing
to a mistake or misunderstanding he 10.
sued an order TO close from Saturday at
midnight to Monday morning. The
councilmen hearing Of this held meet
ing and repealed the ordinance, until
such time as thcy could take hold Of the
question properly, with equality TO all,
and then make new ordinance. These
seven councilmen acted as they thought
right and proper and for the best inter
ests of the city, and by what right few
OF these so-called reformers have taken
them to task we do not know. II these
reformers are 30 earnest, instead OF al
ways seeking some one to do their work
for them, why don't they lodge informa.
tion and swear out warrants against tho
saloon men, Under the state law which
is the same as the old ordinance was, and
place them in the hands OF the sheriff.
This would then settle the matter.
How many taxes do these reformers
payY We would be willing to wager
that one OF these lawless seven council.
men pays more than the entire gang of
prohibitionists. Who pays the running
expenses Of the city, Most assuredly
not our reform brethren, but the saloon
