DROPPED ONE ROBBER
Messenger on the Colorado &
Southern Road Did Good Work
With His Gun.

Trinidad, Colo, Nov. lo--Four
masked robbers held up passenger
train No. Z on the Colorado & Southern
road twelve miles south of here today
one of the robbers was shot by Elk
press Messenger II. w SherWlck OF
Fort Worth. Tex. The robbers Tagged
the train, and as it slowed up they ran
alongside of the engine and covered
the crew with revOlVers. They then
compelled the engineer, John Gullfrll
to aIight, and after placing oak with
dynamite under the baggage car and
attaching a fuse to the explosive, they
ordered GuiIfril to ignite the fuse This
he attempted to do several times, but
for some reason the fuse would not
burn. During this proceeding the rob
hers kept up a fusillade Of shots IN
the direction of the train for the puf-
pose of illuminating the passengers
While they were preparing 10 rear
range the dynamite and fuse, Messeh-
ger Sherwick, after extinguishing the
lights in his car, quietly opened a side
door in the car far enough to admit a
gun barrel. and fired at the nearest
robber. The latter fell in his tracks.
His startled companions picked him up
and quickly disappeared in the woods
nearby. None of the passengers was
molested- The sheriff Of Las Animas
county immediately organized a posse
and is now in pursuit of the hold-ups.

the polling places asking all those who
were opposed to incorporation to vote
for him for mayor in case the incOrpo-
ration plan should carry.
There are three election districts alto
gether or in part within the limits of
the proposed city of Murray-the Fiji
ty-ninth, SiXtieth and SiXty-flrst- The
polling place for the Fifty-ninth dis
trict was the Murray ward meeting
house. The organ was being repaired
during the afternoon, and later, when
it was finished, it was played for some
time, and voters were treated to the
novel experience of going up to cast
their ballots to the. tune of Nearer,
My God, to Thee and other sacred
music.
The largest registration was in the
Sixtieth district, and the voting was
done in the courthouse"
The supporters of both the Non-Par-
tisan and the Citizens tickets worked
IN harmony for incorporation. Good
feeling prevailed among the candidates.

eminent and police and fire protection .

strongly with Mr.. Fielding for using
such methods. The attempt to infiu-
ence this vote stopped there, but the
superintendent did not cease his ac-
tiyity. He kept up his electioneering,
although somewhat more guardedly,
until the polls closed.
r. H. Chambers, one of the foremen,
was the smelter representative sta
toned at the Fifty-n ninth district poll

them as to how they were expected to
vote. Other work of like nature, it was
said, was done about the plant itself.
Circular to Voters.
To counterfeit this work on the part
of the smelter trust, the friends of in
corporation got out circular appeal
ing to voters to maintain thei- indie
pendence. The circular, viii n was
widely distributed, said:
Vote for incorporation, which means
No increase of taxes,
mo increase of living,
mo increase of rents.

protection to your homes, light on the
streets, clean sidewalks less insurance

in short, clean and better town to live
in without a cent of cost to you! The
SIS, 900 license revenue pays for all this.
Under chapter II, revised statutes

that all taxes for such purposes in any

electors voting at a special election
called for that purpose shall vote a
larger per cent; but in no case shall
said tax exceed, nor electors shall be
allowed to levy more than y of 1 per
cent" etc. If the council levied a tax
at all it would be next to nothing-25

CHAFFEE AND WHEATON
Old Comrades of the Tented Field
Net at Festival Board
in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 1s-"As a soldier who
has served many years, I know how
honOrs such as those that have been be-
slowed upon me come. They come to
individuals as they come to me, through
the loyal devotion and service of other
officers and soldiers-that great mass Of
men who compose the army of~the Emitted
states. They have helped me to my
honor and they have helped my loyal
friend, Wheaton, to his honor; and no
man is more free to acknowledge it than
that prince of soldiers
With this panegyric on the American
soldier, Major General Chaffee fitted a
climax to a touching demonstration of
the comradeship of barrack and camp
life at tonight's banquet at the Union
League club. The hero of FL Caney and
General Lloyd Wheaton, conqueror of
the MOroS, had met for the first time
since they parted in the jungles OF Luz
zon; and. unabashed by the presence of
the $50 guests, they had shown the
warmth of soldiers greeting
General Wheaton had been invited to
sit with the guest of honor at the speak
ers table, but modesty made him late
General Chaffee saw him first as he
threaded his way among tables. He
arose and. reaching across the table,
beckoned him to approach.
General Wheaton made his way around
the board and General Chaffee fell upon
his neck without further. ceremony. He
threw his arm over the others shoulder
and Rugged him, while General Wheaton
blushed modestly through his beard and
dropped his head to hide the tears that
coursed down his cheeks.
What they said was drowned by the
cheers and salVOs of the guests. and then
General Wheaton sat down within sight
of his former commanding officer In
his speech, General Chaffee referred often
TO the loyalty of his former subordinate,
giving him his share in the honors, and
each time General Wheaton hid his
bronzed face behind his hands and wiped
away furtiVe tears.

After some important testimony as to
the comparison OF wages the social
features of the coal regions was taken
up and Mr.. Mitchell said he could not
see other reason in child labor than that
the families required the money TO live
on, the exception being where the peO-
pie may be inhumane. Then reiterated
his former statement that the minimum
wage should be $500 year.

sarcasm Mr.. Mitchell said that the
company had some employees who had
visited Philadelphia once in twenty
four years and that they thereby had
an important event in their lives to
relate to their grandchildren
At this point Mr.. Ross took occa-
sion to call attention to the fact that

the subject of the demand for an
