Charles Defenbaugh, formerly of
Crested Butte, met with an acci-
dent in the Elkton mine at Victor
last week which was nearly fatal.
He was investigating a show shot,
when it went off and a piece of
rock an inch in size struck him in
the right eye and penetrated to the
brain. Owing to his strong con-
stitution recovery is probable.

SIXTEEN YEARS.

We are informed that there is a
man in a neighboring county who
has held an Office for sixteen years.
1t is a county Office and all these
years he has been sitting at ease
there and watching other men hus-
tie for living. Do you think that
is right ? We are further informed
that this man was elected on a
ticket which placed plank in its
platform to the effect that no man
should hold Office for more than
one term.
Sixteen years is long time for
a man or party of men to hold
Office in any county. New brooms
sweep clean and we think the offices
need sweeping.
Sixteen years of Office holding is
apt to unfit the holder for his dut-
les as citizen. Put him out and
let him get a little energy or he
will grow to think that he is fix
ture and that the county cannot
get along without him.
Eight terms in county Office is
enough. Change now. 1t is time.
Sixteen years in office is too long.
The people of the county have
come to the conclusion that it is
time to take some of the men who
have been sitting at ease for six
teen years and make them do some
thing else for fear they will grow
lop sided.
Let the men who have worked
with tooth and toe nail for the
country and who have spent the
best years of their lives helping to
make the country worth living in
and worth holding Office in, have a
chance to hold the office that is re-
garded by the chronics as so prec<
ious. Turn about is but right and
it will be done-in the neighboring
county, of course.
Now it is barely possible that
there are other counties in the
same boat. 1t is possible that
other Office holders have been in
Office for sixteen years and have
come to regard themselves as per-
manent fixtures. The people are
going to surprise them. They will
no doubt regard the action with
dismay and displeasure, but the
voters are sovereign and they mean
to see that housecleaning shall be
conducted in the court house this
time.
Sixteen years of Office, and still
wanting more Aspen Times.
1t is quite evident from the fore
going that John E. Brothers fame
as perpetual Office holder has
spread beyond the confines of his
own county.

RUSSELL WANTS
ABSENCE LEAVE
Board Of Supervisors
Clerk Withdraws
Resignation.

John A. Russell, clerk of the Board Of
Supervisors, has withdrawn his resigna-
ton, which was placed in the hands Of
Mayor Phelan last week. The Board of
Supervisors was prepared to accept the
resignation at yesterdays meeting and
to appoint Charles w. Fay to the va
cancy, but action was forestalled by Rus
sell, who filed a request that he be grant
ed leave of absence for six months.
Russell assigns as a reason for his re-
tinuance of absence from his duties. The
veteran clerk. believes that--he will be re-
stored to health at the end of his leave.
The communication was referred to the
Judiciary Committee to determine If the
board has power to grant leave for six
months.
Mr.. Russell is afflicted with paralysis
of the right side, and his intimate friends
are of the opinion that he will not get
well. The Mayor doubts whether such a
long leave as he asks for is legal under
the charter. There is a disposition to
treat him with great consideration on ac-
count of mis- long and faithful service.
The charter provides that no person en-
ployed by the city shall be paid for a
greater length of time than that covered
by actual service.
A resolution was adopted extending an
invitation to Mayor-elect Schmitz and the
newly elected members of the Board OF
Supervisors to attend the current sessions
of the board in order to familiariZe them
selves with their future duties.

Germans deed of heroism in rescuing

and her companions became the guests of
Grand Right Guide Miss A. Rogge. Dur

after her visit to the circle in that city
was rendered fine banquet. During the
visit the circle, which did excellent work,

work in that circle, ritualistic and floor,
surpassed anything ever given in a circle

during the work demonstrated that the

ANCIENT CAME
WELL WORKED
Business Colleges Are
Mulcted by Smooth
SWindler.

A number of the local business colleges
were victims of a smooth swindler DUR
ing the past week. The San Francisco,
California and Heald colleges were suf-
ferers to the extent Of SIS each, and as a
result the police are looking for a smooth
young man of about 2l years, of medium
size, dark complexion and wearing dark
clothes with white vest.
The operations of the young man were
exposed yesterday at the office of Ayres
Business College in the History building.
He sought to bleed Manager J. L. VIII
hams for $40 on an old game, but that
gentleman took the precaution to make
a few inquiries before paying the money,
and the exposure followed.
On Saturday Manager Williams re-
ceived a letter from one j. Dawson AL
berts of Oakland, announcing that the
writer was desirous of sending his neph-
ew to business college and asking for
the best terms of tuition. The writer de-
clared that Ayres' school had been recon-
mended to him and that he would send
his nephew to Williams on Monday with
check to pay tuition fees. The letter
was written on Hotel Metropole paper
On Sunday Manager Williams telephoned
to that hotel and inquired as to j. Daw-
son Alberts. The answer was that no
such person was known about the place.
About lO o'clock yesterday morning a
young man called upon Manager Williams
and introduced himself as the nephew of
]. Dawson Alberts. He said his uncle
found it impossible to accompany him,
but that he had sent a check to cover all
expenses of entrance into the institution
as pupil. The check exceeded the ex-
penses by an even $40, and it was offered
to Williams with the remark that the $40
was intended by the uncle to defray the
board of the young man for one month.
Williams accepted the check, but before
paying the excess went downstairs and
telephoned to the First National Bank of
Oakland, on which it was drawn, only to
make the discovery that no such depostor
as ]. Dawson Alberts had an account at
that bank.
Williams returned to the Office and
warned the young man to leave the place
at once or suffer arrest. The Swindler
said there was some mistake, but he did
not tarry long to make excuses. Will
hams then teIephoned to the San Fran
cisco College and learned that s25 had
been paid to ]. Dawson Alberts' nephew
on a check Heads College had been
victimized to like amount, as was also
the California College.
A description of the swindler has been
furnished to the police and a careful
search is now being made for the enter
prising young man.

FISHER WOULD GIVE
THOUSANDS FOR LICENSE
Trustees of Berkeley Want Him to
Put His Offer in Writ

OAKLAND, Nov. 1.-THE question of
licensing saloons in East Berkeley within
the mile limit came up before the Town
Trustees this evening. and, while there
was no action taken, the board is at least
seriously considering the matter. 1t came
up in the shape of statement from
Trustee Dowd of West Berkeley that Sam
Fisher would give the town $4,000 for a
license for a year for a saloon on the
corner of Shattuck avenue and Cente.
street, the very center of East Berkeley,
and that he would assume all the respon-
sibility of the legality of the license
There was no discussion of the matter.
but President Marston of the Board of
Trustees was appointed a committee of
one to get a written offer from Fisher,
after which the board will consider the
matter. The indications are that the
board will grant the license if Fisher will
assume the expenses of litigation that will
undoubtedly follow. The location pro-
posed is at East Berkeley station Fisher
is the saloon-keeper who agreed to at
tend the church of Rev. Francis Robin
son If that divine would hold services in
his saloon
