SMUcLER MINE DISASTER
NUMBER OF KNOWN DEAD NOW
TWENTY-NINE,

Telluride, Colo, Nov. 21.-The num-
Der of victims of the terrible disaster
in the Smuggler-Union mine yester-
day is now known to be at least 20,
with a. considerable portion of the
mine unexplored. Besides the %
bodies taken out and identified last
night, sever were located this after
noon in the north end of the ninth
level, but the gas is still too strong
to permit the rescuers to reach them,
and their identity is as yet unknown.
Several members of the searching
parties were overcome in their efforts
to bring out the bodies this evening.
It will probably be several hours be-
fore the search q be resumed.

Chicago Detective Found Guilty of

Allowing Crooks to Escape
Chicago, Nov. 21.-Captain Luke P.
Colleran, chief of the detective bu-
reau Of this city, was found guilty of
neglect of duty and conduct unbecom-
ing an officer today by the civil SER
vice commission, and by order of Chief
of Police O'Neill was discharged from
the police department. This action
brings to a close a long list of scandals
in connection with the detective de-
partment. The testimony on which
Captain Colleran was found guilty
showed that several well-known crooks
escaped conviction through neglect in
the detective department, and even
showed that evidence which was to
have been used to convict them was
destroyed.

AGAINST BUCKET SHOPS.
Board Of Trade Gains Victory in Ap-
peIIate Court.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-The appellate
court today added another to the
board of trade victories, in it's fight
to prevent bucket shops from trading
on it's quotations. BY this decision
the court reversed the decree of Judge
Vail of the circuit court, who granted
a permanent injunction restraining
the cutting off of quotations from the
central stock and grain exchange.
The lower court declared the defend
ant concern was not a bucket shop and
that even il it was, the quotations
were public property and the board
has no right to discriminate.

Four of Them Complained Against
for Allowing Gambling.
Standard: County ATTORNEY Breen
and his assistants are pushing a cam
paign against saloon proprietors who
permit gambling in their places of
business. Informations were filed in
Judge McClernan's department of the
district court yesterday against four
such proprietors, charging them with
knowingly permitting gambling in
their saloons. They are j. J. Bill of
the Montana saloon at No. % West
Park street; John Hubbell of the
Palace saloon at No. IA East Park
street, and o. Rouleau of the Balmoral
saloon at No. POI South Arizona street,
The three proprietors we're arrested
on bench warrants. They were re-
leased on $500 bail each.
Informations we're also filed against
0. Rouleau, David Wright and Ben
Carrow for playing stud poker at the
Balmoral saloon on November 16, and
against Ernest Nelson for playing the
same kind of a game at the Palace on
the same date. Stud poker seems to
be a favorite game, as that is the
game named in nearly all of the ar
rests for gambling made during the
past month or more.
Grannis and maybe, also charged
with gambling, we're in court yester-
day and pleaded not guilty after a de.
murrer to the information had been
presented and overrulel by the court.
An order was made by Judge Nc
Clernan that the sheriff return several
hundred dollars in cash in his posses
sion to several gamblers and witnesses
who had deposited it as bail money.

Cabl. Is Now at work.

The laying of a cable between Cape
Nome and Unalaklik and ST. Michael
in Alaska last summer was interesting
in many ways. 1t was the first deep
sea cable of American manufacture to
be laid anywhere and the weather con-
ditions obtaining on the Alaskan coast,
even in summer, are such as to render
cable laying operations very precarious
The ship in which the cable was coiled
was wrecked within sight of its start
ing place after landing the shore end
Of the cable, and with characteristic
American promptness in an emergency
the cable was pulled out Of the hold
by hand, coiled up-some 1877 miles Of
it-on the deck of big scow and this
was towed by a paddlewheel steam
boat from St Michael over the course
with the cable trailing out behind as
best it might Despite all these OBJ
stacles the cable was laid and Is now
at work.

ROBBERS ELUDE POSSE.
Great Northern Train Bandits
Outwit 'Pursuers.---Now in
Mountain Fastness.

Anaconda, Mont, July S.-There is
now but little hope of the sheriff's posse
overtaking the men who held up the
Great Northern express at Wagner,
Mont, last Wednesday. The correspond
ent has just returned from the section OF
the country where the posses were ex-
pected to overtake tho robbers. His
account is that the pursuers have been
outwitted, and that the robbers have
eluded them.
There are now two theories presented.
One is that tho outlaws. who are far
better mounted than their pursuers,
have already crossed the Missouri river
and are we'll on their way toward the
Hoe in the Wall country in Wyoming,
the most notorious refuge Of criminals
in the United States.
The Hole the-Wall is fastness
practically impregnable and capable Of
being successfully defended by few
men against almost any force. The re-
gion between the point in the Missouri
breaks and tho Hole in the Wall is very
sparsely settled, few scattered cattle
ranches beirg the only evidences OF
human habitation. Pursuit over this
wild section, according to old plainsmep,
is virtually hopeless.
The other theory is that the robbers
have gained the intricacies OF the bad
lands along the Missouri river, near the
Little Rockies. and are awaiting the
time when the chase shall have grown
cold and then seize q favorable opportu.
nifty to ford the river at point where
crossing could not be- effected by men
unfamiliar with the river and its treach-
erous windings. Every foot OF ground
is an open book to the robbers. who
have used the vicinity as their stamping
ground for years.
The officers are still in the field, but it
is the opinion OF those who are on the
ground that the scene OF active pursuit
must now be transferred to Yellowstone,
Custer or Dawson county. through one
or more Of which the robbers must pass
to reach The Hole in the Wall.

Rev. w. S. Brandon of the Secs
ond Baptist church of Detroit has
appealed to the courts to release
him from his wife, Ora Brandon.
His statement Of the case is touch>
ing. He says that for six long
years he prayed tor guidance in
the matter, but his wife frequently
locked him out OF the house, and
fired rock at him as he was try>
ing to climb in at the window.
Here is sample from his petition
asking for a divorce: IL could not
give her the money nor the cloth,
ing she was used to, and because
could not do that she would do
nothing tor me. l always had to
wash my own clothes after we were
married. When l came home from
church on Lords day had to take
off my clerical robes and begin to
cook dinner at once" He tried
locking the door on her once, but
she smashed it open with an axe
We rather think he should have
the divorce.-Salt Lake Tribune.

PEACH DAY.

.sN0ss
1t has always cost the people
considerable regret, to even con
slider the abandonment Of the cele>
bration OF Peach Day.
Throughout the entire year
Grand Junction does not even at
tempt to celebrate any of the pub
lie holidays. All effort is usually
coscentrated in making the annual
fall festival a grand event. Many
times the event has been celebrated,
when crops have been poor, when
business was stagnant and the peo>
pie to a greater or less degree de-
spondent over existing conditions.
The year 1901 sees Grand juno
ton and Mesa county enjoying a
greater degree of prosperity than
ever before in their history. Peo>
pie are hopeful and buoyant over
prevailing conditions and no better
period ever presented itself than
the present, to celebrate the Peach
Day event.
What it costs to celebrate Peach
Day, is totally disproportionate to
the returns. Even the most pessi-
mistic will not contradict that ass
sertion. Besides returning mani
fold per cent. on the investment, it
engenders hope, raises latent vitali>
ty and generally prepares business
conditions for the prosperity that
surely comes in its train.
There never has been a time
when The Sentinel has not favored
the celebration of the event. From
financial standpoint it has never
at the time returned US profit. But
we know, beyond the question of
doubt that, its influence has better-
ed business conditions and events
ually we have shared in final res
suits, due to the impetus given bus
mess by the celebration
The burden of providing for the
celebration is light, when distribut-
ed. When few attempt to pro
vide, it is heavy. No one should
stand back toward contributing
their share.
Briefly, their is no question OF
the success of the celebration
Grand Junction is the capital city
of western Colorado and people
will attend the celebration. Exper>
fence in conducting the annual tall
festival has taught our people ways
to provide pleasure and other peo>
pie know it as well. In fact Grand
Junction has a deservedly excellent
reputation as royal host and in
this first year of the new century,
she will, better than ever before
demonstrate it is we'll deserved.

The pulpit has the same right as

those WHO deal with these guess
tons. Judge Palmer would prob
ably deny this. I-prefer to meet
him on common grounds.-Rev. ].
d. Rankin.
When a man in a court of law
has favored wrongdoing, when he
has issued an injunction which
smells of beer and savors Of cor
ruptions, the preachers business
should be to denounce him, to op-
pose him, to risk all to break down
his influence and terminate his ca>
reer.-Rev. C. ]. Hall.
From my point of view, it is an
absurdly coarse and crude opinion
to say that because women may
vote, she may also drink in public
places and get drunk and make a
beast of herself. Everybody knows
that when woman falls, she falls
further and into deeper depths than
man, because she falls from a
higher level. This decision is CAL
culated to promote her fall; tor as
certainly as women are permitted
to drink at the bar and in wine
rooms with men, it will crowd the
road to the brothel and the house
whose doors open into hell. Rev.
