l..s., from p.",t.ns'.,y.

Sheriff Barr received a letter this
week from ]. F. O'Brien, who was
sent up from Otero county about
one year ago for forgery. O'Brien
claims to have been a newspaper
man at one time in his checkered
career, and while in Jail here wrote
several articles for the TRIBUNE.
Mr.. O'Brien now has aspirations
as an author. and is preparing to
print a "Book OF the Prison." of
which it is hoped to sell sufficient
number at SO cents each to form
the nuclues OF the "Martin Relief
Fund" This fund is to be used
for the purpose ofassisting paroled
and discharged prisoners. 1t is
not the design of the promoters to
give the funds to be raised by this
means to the prisoners, but to lend
the money and make Its return a
condition of parole just as other
conditions are imposed. Checks
in payment OF subscriptions should
be made payable to E. n. Martin,
trustee OF the Martin Relief Fund.
Mr.. O'Brien now thinks that
Sheriff Barr and those who were
instrumental in sending him to the
penitentisry were his best friends.
His principal failing was the
"booze habit" and while on pro-
tracted spree in La Junta attempt
ed to cash bogus check, which
got him into trouble. Mr.. O'Brien
has been regenerated to the extent
that he now thinks "that it is more
to be deplored to be drunkard
than il is to be an ex-convict and
sober" His letter to Sheriff Barr
10 as follows:
Sheriff Barr, La Junta, Colo.

time you receive . letter from this
place it Jars upon you just little.

fellows that are anxious to receive

At The Power House.

The power house has everything
now IN readiness for the nse of oil rs
fuel. Work had been suspended for
some time owing to the delay OF some
of the material on the road. The
large double tank was this week com
pleted and installed on a brick fOnn.
dation under ground near the levee.
A pipe line has beeu run from the
Southern Pacific tracks, at the foot Of
the bridge, by which the oil will be
transferred from the car to the tank
An extra supply will always be ke;.t
on hand, SD that if there should be
any delsy in transportation it will not
cause the plant to stop running. The
burners were paced in position some
time ago. The first shipment Of oil
is expected every day. The change
will be of much benefit to town, the
fuel being much cheaper which will
enable to run the plant with less la.
Dor. The two fremen will no longer
be needed and two young boys will he
employ ed instead. '.i

cause of good government was never

The Bar association of Buffalo
realized that this was to he a supreme

ard therefore the association asked
for the appointment of two of the

but it caused an examination to be
made by the most eminent physician 3

This display of justice, this Jealous

A Bold Attempt.

Last Wednesday night, while Mr.
Jos. Guillot, the night operator o1
The Thibodaux Telephone Company
was attending to his duties he heard
some noise in the adjoining room
from where he was securing a light
Mr. GuillOt went out to investigate
and just as he reached the hall some
one called upon him for his money OF
his life. Instead of complying, Mr.
GuillOt Immediately seized a stick
that was at hand and thrashed the
burglar numerically.
From accounts we are informed
that the intruder was a we'll known
white vagrant about town, who has
been hanging around begging from
door to door for the last two or three
years without any means of support.
His presence has been a continued
nuisance ever since he made his ap
pearance here, and We see no reason
why he should not be taken up by
the officers.
Sec. 1877, of the Revised statntcs
of this State, expressly says: An
idle persons, who not having visib e
means to maintain themselves, live
without employment, all persons
wandering abroad and lodging in
groceries, taverns, beer houses, mar.
ket'places, sLe,ls, barn,, uninhab,ted
buildings. or in the open air and not
giving good account of Themselves:
all persons wandering abroad and
begging ETC.; shall be deemed vag
rants" Similar or finances have been
passed, both by our parish and town
authorities, and We see no reason
why the laws should not be enforced.
Migrants are public nuisance and
the sooner they are male to feel the
effects of the law the better off will be
