QU|MBY DIED IN PRISON
Accused His Wife in His Last
Talk.
Told The Chaplain That She Was
Guilty.

Elmer Quimby, the Gratiot county
murderer of his two children, died at
the jackson prison last Friday afternoon
from typhoid fever. DR. Gibson, the
prison physician, says that Quimby was
III when he was received at the prison
December last and believes he con
tracted the disease during his confine
ment in the Gratiot county Jail
In the prison hospital with Quimby,
when he died, were Latimer, the matri-
eide, and Homer Bliss, the fratricide,
both very Ill with typhoid fever besides
two convicts who were suffering from
severed windpipes inflicted in attempts
at self murder. During the delrium of
his illness Quimby often spoke of the
murdered children. The crime appar.
emily weighed heavily on his mind
Just before his death he had talk with
Chaplain Chadwick, who is almost

SMELTER MASS MEETING A SUCCESS.

the ore to this city-a schedule, in fact,
which would make sure that the rail-
roads would not, after the smelter was
built take advantage Of and push rates
to prohibitive point for shipping.
l. N. Bunting took the position that
the primal object Of the meeting was to
assure Mr.. Howard of the sentiment OF
this people on the question of support 10
the smelter and to give him positive in
formation whether he could rely upon
the amount Of subscription of stock
Q2.0OO) asked for by him and his east
ern colleagues. He contended that the
roads would not grant perfect schedule
Of rates upon which Mr. Howard could
return to this city and solicit subscup
tions. He did not oppose the passage
OF the resolution, but argued that that
" as not the particular object which had
called the meeting together. The reso-
luton prevailed and the following com
mittee WAS appointed to act in conjunc
tion with Mr.. Howard: Msssrs. J. M.
Sampliner. John ]. Lumsden, W. j.
Meyer, j. X. McKinnie of Colorado
Springs and Orson Adams jr.
Mr.. Harris then introduced . motion
that committee OF three be appointed
by the chair to feel the pulse OF the
community upon the question of sub
scriptlons to the sneltcr stock An
amendment to this was that the com
uittee consist Of FIVE. A substitute to
this was offered shat the committee of
five be chosen to select ten men who
should act in conjunction with Mr.. How
ard to secure the necessary amount OF
subscription. And it was Furthermore
included in the motion that whom these
men were selected that they should be-
gin work at once. This committee con-
sisted Of A. r. Sampliner. G. F. Cas-
we'll, E. M. Hardy and E. NJ. Slooomb.
The resolution, however, which COM
mite this city to the support OF the
smelter proposition in the hands OF Mr..
Howard and which was enthusiastically
and unanimously passed was that pro-
s.nted by George Smith. In intent it
was as follows: That the people OF Grand
Junction and the county OF Mesa sub
scribe most cheerfully to the project of
Mr.. Howard and that he receive moral
and financial support In stock subecrip.
tions to his work This was adopted by
standing vote and in the moet hearty
manner possible
Upon motion the meeting then ad-
journed to meet again at the call OF the
chairman.
The daily sentinel., 1902-03-19

1t was significant at the mass smelter
meeting last night that the people OF
Grand Junction are fully alive to the
project and are anxious to see the work
undertaken by j. V. Howard, who is pro.
noting the smelter proposition, a sue
cess.
1t was about o'clock when the meet
ing was called to order. At that time
while the court room was not crowded
still there were few empty seats in the
room and there were quite number Of
people standing in the rear OF the room
and at the door.
James U. Har,i is called the meeting to
order and Immediately Judge w. A.
Marsh was called to the chair and Chas
b. Rich made secretary.
Upon the invitation OF the chairman
Mr. Howard was called to the front and
entered into detailed statement of the
object OF the meeting and the work 80
far as it had gone toward securing a
smelter Mr.. Howard was thoroughly
in touch with his subject and he talked
a considerable time laying in detail the
plans Of the proposed smelter before the
audience and giving definite information
regarding the available ore supply, the
capacity OF the proposed plant and in
fact every thing in relation thereto which
he thought would be OF material inter-
est to his hearers. The particular part
OF his talk was upon the stock which he
desired to sell in this city. This am unit
Of stock was 1900 shares. He asked
no subscriptions which should be given
as a donation. For all monies sub
scribed the subscriber could take his
choice OF three kinds OF stock which the
company would issue. The character
OF this stock was explained in detail.
The relation which the railroads would
bear to the smelter was thoroughly can
vaeeed by Mr.. Howard. While no defi-
mite rates had been given Mr.. Howard
by the railroads he had had a very busi-
ness-like talk with the traffic agents and
they assured him on their word Of honor
that smelter at this city would not be
Disseminated against in any manner
whatsoever.
When MIR. Howard had concluded his
talk, which impaired much valuable in
formation upon matters which had been
pertinent subjects in the minds Of his
hearers, he announced that he would be
pleased to answer any questions which
anyone might desire to ask him upon the
subject Quite a number OF questions
we're asked and answered satisfactorily
by him.
1t developed through those inquiries
that the smelter site had been secured; /;
that the right of way thereto had also
been secured. and that about 500 tons OF
ore per day would be secured to be
smelted. He had every assurance that
this amount Of ore would be forthcom-
ing whom the smelter was erected. A
thorough canvas OF the mountain towns
contiguous to the city, which were ore
producing centers. had been made; and.
while he believed that much more ore
than had been promised could be &C.
cured, he said he would rather state the
possible minimum amount. The smelt-
or will be Of about 500 tons daily capac-
ity.
At this point Samuel G. McMullin in
troduced a set OF resolutions calling for

CARE OF TEAMS AND DRIVERS.

When the spring work begins many
farmers are apt to feel SO hurried that
they want to make long days, and keep
the team moving all the time. This
NAV do for team that has kept fairly
busy during the winter, but may prove
poor economy if the team has been idle
much of the time. The animal, like the
man, comes out little tender and Ian
guild in the warm days of spring if they
have not had work to keep their muscles
firm, or, as athletes say, to keep them in
training during the winter. There are
sore and lame muscles for both, and
possibly loss of appetite, because the
stomach partakes of "that tired feeling
and does not digest its food. For the
team, also, there is chance of sore
shoulders and saddle gals if the harness
is not very soft, pliable and well-titting'
1t is better to work with the team five
or six hours day at first, and then let
them rest while the men take some other
work that will exercise another set OF
muscles. Beginning to feed heavily
when hard work begins is always great
mistake. Increase the food gradually,
so that they will not lose appetite and
digestion. BY following these rules
days of total idleness from sickness may
be avoided. Cultivator.

CHAPTER V.

In three weeks the new wife came
home and proved herself to be more
than had been promised. Helen did
not find it hard to give her respect,
then to love and make contidant or
her. She had all good woman's SYM
pathies, and she encouraged Helen TO
talk away her trouble about Roy to It's
very last thought. And in these con-
yersations many q pleasant word was
incidentally said for Will Anderson
for his patient love, his forbearance
and the injustice done him by those
who still persisted in believing Roy
badly used and convicted on the barest
circumstantial evidence.
Mrs Brodick, however, was too wise
a woman to he obviously Wills cham
pion. Her tactics were in q line far
more natural and far less suspicious.
She provided Helen with some new
and very pretty dresses, ana III one OF
them-a dark blue merino with trim
mings of blue velvet-the girl looked so
absolutely lovely that she would have
been less than a woman If she had not
desired to give others the JOY of her
beauty. So she was pleased to go with
her stepmother to one of those musical
reunions Brodick declared to be in
credible misery" and wonderfully
pleased to hear Will-who was uncon-
scious of her presence and therefore at
his ease-sing in voice clear and
sweet as silver bell:
| learnt to walk to the sound OF the
waves
The shingly beach along:
The salt spray dashed against the pane;
That was my cradle song.
The sea birds cry was far before
The thrushes' song TO me:
Oh, my heart still longs and listens for
The music Of the sea!
To dragnets full Of cleaning fisn
Under the silver moon;
To watch ships on the far blue Inc
Grow nearer in the noon;
To make friends with the storm instead
or a city's din for me;
NV heart still longs and listens for
The music of the sea!
These words. sung as Will could sing
them, went straight to Helen's heart,
and it was worth something to see his
wonder and delight when she stood In
all her beauty and with sweet smiles
praised his singing. 1t was Just In
credible Joy to one heart. that musical
reunion. and perhaps to more than one.
This happy experience was not dim'
cult to renew. and so gradually the In
timacy grew. for, as the elder prefer
