William Townsend. the boy acct
dentally shot in the head some time

al physical condition is first rate.

| Mr.. Jay will be married In the morn
ing at Telluride. the happy couple de
parting Immediately after the cere-
mony for Denver.
John Grogan, the old time black
smith. should not be confounded with
the joan Grogan arrested for steal
ing from Mercy hospital. The light
fingered parsonage has not resided
here long and is not known to many,
but as his name corresponds and CIV
ing blacksmithing his occupation,
some thought 1t was our old time
John Grogan.
| The Wage Garner should secure
something new. 1t wants the cleo
ton of county officers this fall based
on the silver question. The election
of Bradley and the present fusion
members of the general assembly was
based on the same issue and we guess
voters are not going to follow blind
ly hereafter where fools under ordin
ary circumstances fear to tread.
| The case of John Warner against
Mike Conner. appealed from the JUS
tice court. came up before Judge Pike
yesterday afternoon. Evidence of
witnesses for plaintiff and also a GER
tain number for the defense was list
ened to. The case was then contin-
ued until Tuesday on account of the
absence of some of the principal wit
nesses. The attorneys were w. c.
Davidson for the plaintiff. Barry Sulli-
van for the defense.
| Dunn's travelling credit man called
on The Herald this morning to ascer-
tain how much more we owed than
we could pay and how little credit
we had in the commercial world. He
| discovered that the alleged opposition
| sheet had all the standing" room.
and it will be our lot to order goods
in one and two-dollar 1ags How
ever, we'll try and jog along. allowing
the other fellow to do the self-com
mandatory act.
If Gus Stuckman is such capable
and deserving commissioner, why
isn't the organ demanding his reten-
tiong Last fall 1t was willing to
throw the entire ticket for the re-
election of Bradley, and as Stuckman
has proved an easy and willing tool
he should be compensated by at
least nomination. His election
would be an entirely different propo-
sition, but to be consistent the organ
should demand his endorsement by
the party.
There is not us much hurrah In the
Denver press concerning the carni-
val to be held the coming week as
usual, but indications point to a fair
sized crowd. although the rates given
are not such as to attract as many
| from distant towns as heretofore.
The Herald is not one of the number
that believes in decrying everything
Denver does. Our kick was against
giving the Denver blowout rates that
are not accorded Durango and other
places and people going up against
the sure-thing merchants of the cap
ital who have heretofore trusted car
nival week cleaning their shelves OF
goods at higher prices than better
quality and weights could have been
secured at home.
