Gilpin observer., 1902-01-30

A committee from the Senate, head
ed by Senator AmmOns, appeared to
announce that the upper branch was
organized and ready for business.
Secretary Kelly of the Senate fol-
lowed with Senate concurrent res0lu-
tion No. /, providing for n committee
of two senators and three representa-
tives to inform the governor that the
Legislature was organized and pre-
pared to receive any communication
he might see fit to transmit.
Senate concurrent resolution No. 2,
providing for committee Of three SEN
ators and two representatives to draft
resolutions on the death Of former
Governor Waite, was presented.
In reply to question from Martin Of
Pueblo, the speaker stated that in his
opinion the employees of the regular
session would continue to draw sal
aries pending their removal. '"Fhis Is
the extra session of the Thirteenth
General Assembly" said the speaker.
1.-THE members met in regular session
and organized. That was and is the
organization Of the House. We ad-
journed to the call Of the governor.
My judgment is that everything re-
mains as 1t was in the regular session,
unless the House votes a change.
may be mistaken as to the laying over
of the resolution for reorganization, but
feel that we must be put in the atti-
tude of transacting business before we
pass upon that subject. Until the Sen
ate and the governor have been notified
that we are ready for business no reso-
luton or bill may be presented.
On motion of Ballinger of Park
committee, consisting of Ballinger,
Schweigert and Dickerson, was ap-
pointed to notify the Senate that the
House was organized. On motion of
Stubbs the House concurred in the
Senate resolution appointing a COM
mittee to notify the governor that the
Legislature was prepared to hear from
him. Stubbs, Neeley and Meredith
were named on the part of the House.
Meredith moved the appointment of
a committee of three to draft resolu-
tons on the death of Weldon of Lari-
mer, and Morris moved to include Cab
rim of Arapahoe. The matter went
over temporarily and Madden moved
adjournment until = to-day out Of re-
spect to the two deceased members.
This started the reorganization fight
once more, and it waXed warm. Bell
objected to adjourning until after
O'Connell's resolution had been acted
but Dunlavy renewed ii and insisted
that it should be considered. Madden
o, objected to being deprived of the hon.
or OF making the motion and it was
necessary for Mr.. Dunlavy TO pour oil
on the waters and withdraw his motion
with the provisO that Madden's should
be voted on at once
Pending the vote. the House agreed
to the appointment OF n committee of
five on resolutions on the deaths Of Rep
resentatives Weldon and Gabrin and
passed the Senate concurrent resolution
providing for committee to prepare
a memorial on the death of former
Governor Waite.

Glenwood has always posed as the
center OF the hunting field of the Rocky
Mountain region and it seems that 1t
can make good these claims. The other
day n monster buck came down Off the
mountain and crossed the Rio Grande
tracks at West Glenwood. In doing SO
he would have been run over by n
switch engine had not the engineer
Stacked his speed. The animal jumped
over fences and ran into the enclosure
at the West Glenwood sandhouse and
started across the Grand river. He
swan the river without difficulty, but
on account of the fringe of ice on the
south side had trouble in getting out
and foundered about the water fully
ten minutes. during which time several
shots were fired Mt him without effect.
As soon as he landed he shook himself
and skipped away, apparently unmind-
full Of his admiring spectators.
The State School of Mines is threat
ened again with disruption because Of
the severe penalty inflicted by the fac
ulty upon seven sophomores who have
been suspended for the rest of the year
because Of scufile that took place In
the chemical laboratory last Saturday,
resulting in the breaking of apparatus
to the value Of $15 to $50. The facul-
ty declare that the punishment has be-
come necessary to prevent rowdyism in
the building the students that the pun
ishment does not befit the crime, that
the innocent have been made to suffer
with the guilty because they refuse to
implicate their classmates, and that,
above all, the professor in charge made
no effort to stop the scrimmage that
caused damage. AS n result of the fac
ulty's refusal to recede from Its posi-
ton the students Of every class have
taken up the cause of the sophomores
and general walkout Is threatened.
The meeting Of special agents and
route inspectors of the rural free deliv-
cry service of the Postofiice Depart-
), ment which has been In session in Den
yer during the last week was the larg-
est and most important gathering Of
the kind ever held in the United States.
While the main object of the meeting
was the instruction of those present In
the rules and regulations placing rural
carriers under the Civil Service Com.
