'elI was today entertained in a
manner to his liking. Instead of max
ing numerous addresses, meeting COM
LE-Crees and indulging in handshaking
he plunged into the forest OF the Cor
Din preserve in the Croydon mountain
region and hunted big game, and lust
before dark succeeded in shootine n
boar. In a few remarks preliminary to
MS talk here, he had discIaimed anv
, ~tentio to go hunting, but Senator
Proctor, who like the president is a
good shot, induced him to alter il
decision. The President arrived
shortly after 10 o'clock this forenoon
after being driven through the principa1
streets delivered a short address in the
puolc square. The town had an air of
eApectancy,since the presidents coming
had Deen locke upon as the most nota-
DIE event in it's history. No sooner had
ne concluded his address than rain be-
gan falling, and the President and those
OF his party got a thorough drenching.
The president refused umbrellas saying
hA-~N All hldC1IlIOSH would De Suflclent
to protect him.
The arrangements included a visit 70
the Corbin mansion, where Mrs. COrbin,
widow Of Austin Corbin received the
president. After a short stay the long
procession of carriages moved over to
the home of George E. EdgilI who with
Mrs. Edgili entertained the party att
luncheon.
The president was given an hours

he might visit the club house and don
a hunting costume. Several times the
party caught up with him and finally
he n Senator Proctor entered the
woods and became lost to view.
Darkness was coming on when theI
party returned here and soon after their
arrival Secretary Cortelyou telephoned|

nation, as to his character ability and
legal attainments. was duly admitted
to practice as an attorney. A few days

The CASE OF POSTMASTER GUYER.
Considerable Feeling Has Been Aroused In Clayton
Union County, Over the Affair.

Public sentiment is strongly against
Postmaster Guyer, who. shot and kill
ed w. E. Searls in front of the post
office yesterday noon, say dispatches
to the Rocky Mountain News and the
Denver Republican. While Guyer shot
in self defense, some people at Clayton
think that Searls was justified In
shooting at Guyer first The pamphlet
which Guyer had distributed among
his friends was very detrimental to the
character of both Searls and his wife.
and especially the latter, and many
who read the story condemn the writ
er. 1t looked for a while Thursday
night as if there would be more trou-
BILE. A meeting Of citizens was called
for s p. m. and a committee appointed
which was designated as a committee
of ways and means. but the wiser
heads prevailed and no rash action
was taken.
Sheriff Garcia and five deputies are
guarding the Jail and warn everyone to
keep away. One man got too close to
the line about p. m. Thursday and
a shot from a Winchester quickly
called him to halt. All is now quiet.
The date for Guyer's preliminary
bearing has not been set.
