Some two weeks ago G. NJ. Ham
ilton, mill man at the Neglected. sent
letter with one Clifton Trimble to
mail to his wife at White Oaks. The
letter contained q check signed by
the company for $3.50. Coming to
Durango Trimble opened the letter.
took out the check, forged Hamilton's
name and then cashed the check,
Crank Gillespie paying over the mon
ey. Later Hamilton wrote his wife
that he mailed the check. Mrs. Ham.
ilton wrote that she had not heard
from him nor received the money.
An investigation followed. and Frank
Rivers yesterday in checking up re-
turned checks found the Hamilton
check and was able to trace the trans
actions.
Leaving Durango. Trimble went to
Pueblo, where he was heard from q
short time ago. No doubt the forger
will be apprehended and returned to

front Office, but was there met by his friend

and he (Stackhouse) had made mess of
the affair, and that Playford had threatened
to 90 up and see Mckinley If l was pun
ished for smoking, inasmuch as l had the
warden's permit to do so. James reproached
Stackhouse for the stupidity of Hester in
reporting me for something ] had per-
mission to do inste I'd of mentioning some
violation of the rules which. would justify
my punishment.
When the whole matter was brought TO
the attention of the governor the warden
received such instructions from Governor
Mckinley, accompanied with an intimati0a
of his removal, that neither Hester nor
Stackhouse ever dared during their con-
nection with the prison to report or punish
me OF course gave no cause but strictly
observed the rules. This observance would
not have saved me however, any more than
it saved numbers of less fortunate prisoners
who were beaten and abused, and in many
cases sent to the hospital, where they died

reason than that they had conceived a dis
like to their victims.

THE FIRST CAMERA.
IL Was Invented by an Italian in the
Sixteenth Century

oAANEEhtg1 CEuAuAbs
The camera was invented by an Italian
named Baptista Porta, though it was not at
first used for photographing. 1t was in
veaiity merely dark room, into which the
light was admitted through a little round
hole in one side. The rays of light coming
from objects outside Of this room entered
Il through this aperture and made picture
on the other side of the room glowing in all
the beauty and color of nature itself but
rather indistinct and upside down
This dark room was contrived by Porta
about the middle Of the sixteenth century.
He improved it later by placing glass lens
in the aperture and outside a mirror which
received the rays OF light and reflected
them through the lens so that that image
upon the opposite wall within was made
brighter, more distinct and in a natural OF
erect position, This was really the first
camera obscura, an invention which is en-
ioyed to the present day, being situated often
upon a hilltop where a picturesque coun.
try surrounding may be reflected through a
lens which Is placediin the center Of the
conical roof
Now our modern Photographic camera is
merely a small camera obscura in It's sim
plest form carrying lens at one end and
ground glass screen at the other. II is.
however, often much more complicated in
its construction
