PETITION IN ASHLEY COOKIES
BEHALF.

| A petition, numerously signe
by prominent citizens Of Mort
Mississippi. was fled with tn
governor this evening asking til
Communication of the sentence Q
Ashley Cooke from death to i'm
prisoament for life. Cooke i
under sentence to be hanged .
Greenville on July ed for th,
killing of Engineer Wray. Tn,
petition was fled by Col. jane
d. Moore and w. v. Moore O
Oakland and w. g. Cooke O.
Senatobia. The latter 10 G brother
Of Ashley Cooke and the two'form
or are his uncle and cousin respec
lively. The grounds upon w6lct
the Communication is urged are tina,
Cooke is mentally unbalanced and
that he did mot have 9 fair trial.
The above We clipped from the
Commercial Appeal of last Wed.
nesday andsreproduce it to show
to the people of the county the
grounds upon which the claims
of clemancY for Ashley Cooke are
based; which as to his not having
q fair trial they know is untrue
and we do not even believe the at
torneys for the defendant will say
otherwise.
Now we do not blame the kind
ed and friends of the condemned
man doing all in their power to
save him from Ithe gsllows-to us
they would be inhuman if they
acted other wise; but when they
set up plea that an unbiased
Judge and jury, who never saw or
heard tell of the man before he did
the awful deed = tried and
sentenced him only on the law and
evidence brought before them by
sworn witnesses did not have a
fair trial we feel it our duty as an
editor of paper In the county to
deny it. The very fact that the
Supreme Court of the State up
held it on every count is proof con-
elusive that he received justice at
their hands. No county in the
State has more law abiding citi-
zenship than Washington county
Us this trial has proven for had
this deed been perpetrated in some
counties the three would have
never came to trial but strung up
% the first convenient place found.
We can noe say what the governor
will do in the case but that they
'eceived a fair trial and Justice for
heir awful deed. We have yet to
lear q citizen Of the state deny.

INDIAN STORY OF COLUMBUS.
Greek Version as to How Explorer
Made First Real Estate Deal.

One of the quaintest Indian legends
extant is that told by Charles Gibson,
the Creek story teller and writer:
Had It not been for Christopher
Columbus and four ten-gallon kegs
CT whisky, this United States would
have yet belonged to the American
Indians. This Is a whole mouthful
to say, but Indian tradition tells us
that when Columbus was unable to
get communication with the Indians
he had a life boat landed on the
beach with four kegs of whisky, with
two or three dozen tin cups handily
placed around them, and the heads
of the kegs knocked i'm, in which
shape Mr.. Indian found things on the
beach. lie approached the kegs with
caution, looked into the well filled
kegs of whisky with a good deal of
pride. In fact, he had all his pride in
him. He stuck the end of his finger
into each of the kegs and tasted and
saw that it was good, not only 70
look upon, but good to the Indian
taste He and all the others went
from keg to kcg, tasting with their
fingers, until they were all feeling, as
their fellows said, 'salubrious.' Just
there is where he lost his pride, and
each of them got a white mans cup
and drank the white mans whisky
"The next morning found several
of the bucks in the gutter, as it were
not able to stagger away. Then Col
umbus knew he had the ropes on the
Indians. so he landed another boat
dumped the drunken braves in, and
rowed back to the ship. After get
ting them on board it was no trouble
to swap land. The Indians would sell
their happy hunting grounds. their
squaws or anything else for a drink
of the white mans whisky.
"Since that time the Indian has had
a weakness for strong drink, and the
white man a greed for land"

Denver. Aug. "a Wray special to
the Republican last night says:
ThG quarterly meeting of the Yuma
and Eastern Arapahoe County Cattle
and Horse Protective Association was
held here today and was well attend
ed. The principal nIatter up for dis
cussiOn was the control of the public
lands. Secretary Fred L. johnson of
the state association was present and
explained the leasing bills before Con-
gress and the proposed license plan of
controlling the range. j. p. Speers ap-
proved of the leasing plan aud T.. l..
Sechrist spoke in favor of the plan or
some change from present conditions
the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of
the members of this association the
present laws governing the use of the
public lands of the United States for
grazing purposes are imperfect and
should be so amended that the greatest
good may come to the greatest num-
Der and the destruction of the grasses
on the range be prevented"
As to what would be the proper
method to accomplish the improve
mcnts wanted in the laws, the meeting
was unable to decide. and the discus
sion was continued to the next meet
ing.
Reports from the ranges of this sec
tiOn are to the effect that cattle are
all doing well and that there will be
a big move this fall to market.

TERRIBLE NEW EXPLOSIVE.
Said to Be Capable of Destroying Any
Warship.

New York, Aug. IA new time fuse
for use on armor-piercing shells loaded
with n recently discovered secret ex-
plosive of great power, has been in
vented by war department ordnance
experts and will, according to n dis
patch from Washington, reyollitionize
foreign warship building.
Tests of the explosive and fuse have
been made, and SO long as the United
States government holds the secret
foreign battleships either must double
their steel walls or be as wooden
ifrigates against the new destroyer.
General CroZier. chief of ordnance, is
quoted as having said that n test or
the new explosive had been conducted
with evident success at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. that the shell
carried its contents through the thick
est armor, and that the fuse lived long
enough to have exploded in the inter
ior of ship of war. The greatest pen
etration secured was that of shell
fired from n twelve-inch gun. 1t pierced

tonation. The heaviest shield now in

WELD COUNTY IRRIGATION.
Farmers viii Utilize Every Possible
Source of Supply.

Denver, Aug. 1.-The Greeley CORE
spondent of the Denver News says:
The water question for irrigation has
become quite Il serious matter with
farmers of Weld county. The matter
Of superior rights in the river cuts but
small figure just now as there is no
water to appropriate and bitches with
out supplementary supply of stored
water during the winter season can
afford but little relief to the farmers.
The well-known and justly famous ir-
rlgation canal No. 2 and the Larimer
county ditch have water enough to
save the potato and beet crop. ns well
rs some of the small grain. 1t is re-
ported on the streets of this city that
the Larimer and Weld Irrigation Com
pany has purchased 45,OOO,OOO cubic
feet of reservoir water from the Water
Supply and Storage Company, other
wise known as the Larlmer county
ditch. If this is true, In all probabil-
ity the farmers of that ditch will also
be able to save their potatoes and
beets. Such purchase would be of
vital Importance to Governor Eaton
who Is beyond question the greatest in
dividual agricultural land owner in
Colorado. The winds now blowing.
together with the hot weather, con-
spire to dry up everything and without
rain comes. and that soon, the ranges
are going to burn up. The Oldest resi-
dents say that the present is the dry
est season ever known In Colorado and
especially in Weld county.
