THE WIDOW SOBBED
And Was Led Crying From The
Reconsideration Presented
The Evidence of -Four Wit
nesses in the Stubblefeld
Murder Trial.

When court convened yesterday
afternoon there had been but one
juror accepted to try the charge
Of murder preferred against David
r. Stubblefeld for the killing Of
B. F. Mcpherson at Pryor Creek
January 9Th, last.
During the session 70 talesmen
were examined and a jury COM
posed of the following named
gentlemen was selected before
court adjourned for the day: R.
D. Taught, John Wilson, c. M.
Lockner, G. W. Williams, q. O..
Berry, John w. Byrd, John
Spaulding, J. q. Briggs, VIM. In
gals. Albert Burton, James Mayes
and T. D. Harper.
When court convened this morn.
ing the room was again crowded,
Mrs. Stubblefield occupying a
chair by the side of her husband.
Charles Wallace, who said he
had reformed last October or No
vember and was now farmer,
was the first witness. He said
that while he and Mcpherson were
talking with no undue yulgarity
Marshal Stubbleheld stepped up
and said to Mac. You've got to
stop cussing and Safeguarding.
Mac denied having done SO when,
with an interchange Of words of no
very great importance, the mar
shal struck him with revolver
and knocked him down. The
witness assisted Mcpherson to his
feet when Stubblefeld either
struck or struck at Mac again
when Mcpherson staggered to the
middle of the street and fell. AS
he was helping him up second
time the fatal shot was fired.
The story OF the killing was at
variance with the contentious Of
the defense, but a rigid and lengthy
cross-examinatIon ably conducted
by Attorney Edgar Smith failed to
shake Wallace's testimony.
John Cloud corroborated Wal
lace in the essential points of his
testimony.
On cross examination, however,
Mr.. Smith mixed Cloud up con-
siderable and showed up a num-
Der of discrepancies between his
statements of today and those
made before the commissioner.
Hugh Legion was the last witness
examined before the noon recess.
His testimony was corroborative
of that Of Wallace aud in a short
cross.examination remained firm
in his statements.
Jesse Burr, who ran out to as
sist Mcpherson and was stopped
by Stubblefeld who pointed bis
revolver at him, told the jury the
same story as the preceding wit
nesses. Then Prosecutor Huckle-
berry offered the CORY undergar-
ments and trousers worn by Nc
nherson in evidence. When Mrs

some time during the night. 1t is
not thought, however, that the at

The Coal Mines.

The Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany is arranging to work Rock
vale mine on the long wall system,
that is to say, portion of the
mine is now being worked in this
manner but the company proposes
working the entire mine by this
method
1t is claimed that this system of
mining coal is much better than
working it in cham bers and leav-
ing large pillar of coal standing
between them. The coal is easier
of access to the miner and can be
blasted out more easily, as it will
be free from any binding him
ORANGES. By adopting this plan
the breast of the coal can always
be kept on the same angle.
The bone in the coal at Brook
side mine seems to be diminishing
thereby, allowing the coal to blast
more freely. This bone has proven
a source of annoyance to the miner
as it binders the coal from being
blasted in large Jumps, and also
SCENE to bind it somewhat, 1t
was thought about a month ago
that the mine would necessarily
have to be closed down on that ac-
count as new workings were not
being opened up as fast as the old
ones were finished.

Let us open up to the overcrowded
millions of the east, who are toll

of population, the chance to come
west and get home on the land
where they can achieve absolute
industrial independence by their
own labor. We never can do this
if we are to lease the public lands

OIL ACTIVITY IN
BOULDER COUNTY
The oil Wen Supply Company
Puts in Branch Store.
THE BIG CANFIELD WELL

There is perhaps no other dis
trict in the state at present where
there is so much excitement and
activity caused by the discovery of
oil as there is in Boulder county.
The recent find of more than or
dinary high grade oil in the Nc
Kenzie well, operated by Isaac
Garfield of this place, is attracting
capital not only from western sec
tions but eastern money is much
in evidence there at this time
Albert Brown, Colorado man
ager of the Oil Well Supply com
pany, has just returned from Boul-
der and he gives a glowing ac-
count of the conditions there.
New companies are being formed,
leases are being acquired and
everything points to extensive op-
erations in the Boulder fields.
Mr.. Brown while in Boulder Sc
cured lease on ground for
warehouse and secured an office in
the Masonic building, corner Main
and Fourteenth streets, He will
at once put in branch store there
to supply the demand for oil well
supplies. While in Boulder he
secured orders for five complete
drilling outfits and the machinery
is being loaded into the cars here
today. Rig timbers are already
being hauled for five additional
derricks, and they will be erected
as fast as builders can put them up.
The Mckenzie well was the pri-
mary cause of this excitement.
The drillers were unfortunate in
losing the bailer and other tools
at this time, but the well still es-
tablishes the fact that it is located
in an oil field for there is at pres.
ent 600 feet of oil in the hole.
Experts are now on the ground
and it is hoped that they will sue
ceed in cleaning out the hole.
The second we'll has reached
such depth that it is expected oil
will be encountered within the
next five or six days,
The blishing of branch
store in Boulder before actual re-
suits in drilling have been secured
shows the enterprise which is
characteristic of the Oil Well Sup
ply company. Not only is it al
ways Johnny on the spot" but its
methods prove great advantage
to oil operators by enabling them
to secure supplies without long
delays.

An Interesting old watch

belonged to Louis XIV, is preserved in
the presbytery of Ragnonnas, in Avi-

The saying going to Canossa" refers
to the humiliating pilgrimage made
by the Emperor Henry Nv to italy in
the year 1917. Henry had objected to
the claims advanced by Gregory Hide
brand and, refusing to submit, was ex-
communicated by that pontiff. The
emperor at first laughed at the sen
tence, but took a more serious view
when he found himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved
on journey to Italy TO make his peace
with the pope. The latter was then at
tie Castle of Canossa, a fortress of the
Countess Mathilda and situated in the
mountains of Modena. Thither the EN-.
peror FASTENED, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad-
ing conditions.
The desperate situation Of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, barefooted and bare
headed, clad only in a hair shirt, the
raiment of a penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end of this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month of January, he was admitted tc
the papal presence, was absolved and
received his dominion as a gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as indicative of
abject submission on any terms i'm.
posed by the conqueror.

Toles Of tbe Finger NniIs.

That the mental condition of a per-
son who is suffering from some phys
ical ailment may be judged from the
condition of the finger nails was re-
Gently shown by Dr.. Marco, an Italian
physician, who has for some time been
making investigations in this direction.
According to him, patient whose
nails are not quite smooth, but contain
many burrows, is subject to acute dis
eases, since it is the inability to take
adequate nourishment, caused by such
diseases, which makes the nails de-
fective. He also maintains that series
of grooves will be found in the nails of
those persons who are mentally unbal-
anced and especially of those who are
periodically afflicted by some form of
mental disturbance and that from a
simple examination of the nails any
skilled physician can tell how frequent
and how violent the mental attacks
will be.
