Death of Mrs. Shideler.

Mrs. Maria f. Shideler died Janu-
airy Goth, at her home on MANN
creek, after an illness of two weeks.
She was born at Denver. April IL,
1868, where her girlhood days were
passed, and in 1887 she moved to Gar
field county with her parents. Here
she met and married Chas. J. Shide-
Ter on September 10, 1883. Four chill
dren blessed their union, all of whom
are left to mourn her loss, and to the
bereaved husband, to the children,
to the sorrowing mother and sisters
and to all the near and dear ones,
their many friends extend the hand
Of sympathy and pray God to sustain
them in their dark hour of sorrow.
OF the departed it can be said that,
loving her home and home ties above
all else, she was true and loving
wife, tender mother and royal
friend.
The funeral was held Wednesday

Nearly Caught a Maverick.

The other day au noon Link Tagert
thought he would leave his gray mare
loose during the afternoon so she
, might take some exercise.
| 1t was after dark when Link got
home from the store that evening, SO
taking IL lantern, he went to the barn
to care for the animal before retiring
for the night. When he went up to
the door, the mare, being unaccus-
! toned to seeing lantern, ran out of
the barn and would not let Link Sc
cure her.
Accordingly, he returned to the
house and after waiting about half
an hour, he again took his lantern
and started for the barn. This time
he proceeded more cautiously and
kept the lantern concealed under his
coat until almost to the barn door,
when he-thinking to frighten the
the lantern and
Icaped into the doorway with yell.
Now it happened that the mare
had not returned but instead n big
four-year-old steer had strayed into
the barn during his absence and when
thus surprised, bolted out Mt the
door. As lie passed Link he caught
one horn in his coat and both tho
steer and Link had an exciting time
of it for few moments.
Link secured his mare later in the
evening, but sees that she is securely
fastened in her stall now before it
gets dark.

Denver Man Killed
in Lily Park

Carl wesrich sho, In dispute over a coyote by
George Smith, trapper from Cienwood, who is
now In jsil at Hshn's Peak.
Carl Wegrich, well known in Den
yer, WAS shot and killed in Lily Park,
near Craig, Colo, in II dispute over
the possession of coyote. The
shooting occurred last Friday, when
George l.. Smith, II trapper, saw
Wegrich with dead coyote in his
hands. Smith claimed that the coy
ote had been removed from his traps,
and in the discussion that followed,
Smith shot and killed Wegrich with
a Winchester rifle. Smith was
promptly arrested and removed to
the Jail at Hahn's Peak. Little is
known Of his record other than he
came from Glenwood Springs about
II month ago.
Carl Wegrich is very well known
in Denver. For number of years
he worked for Totman, the druggist,
on the corner of Fifteenth and Stout
streets. Before that he was employed
by one of the powder companies of
the city. He had large circle of
friends, among whom he was very
popular. He left Denver about II
year ago and filed on land in Lily
Park last spring.

Hunting Range Trouble.
Practice OF Nervous Tourists" of
Shooting Stock to Be Stopped.


The game question in the North
western part of Colorado arouses con-
siderable discussion and comment ev-
cry fall. The country is flooded
with game wardens who find it prac-
tically impossible to have violators
convicted on account of the local SEN
timent, which is not averse to the
killing of game in any quantity and
at any time.
The killers of game are of three
kinds-the Indians, the 'hunters'
and the tourists.
The Ute Indians cross into Colo
RADIO from their Utah reservation ev-
cry fall, i'll accordance with their
time-honored customs, to get their
supply of buckskin and meat. They
kill the deer in large quantities, but
are not to be interfered with with
inpunity.
The "hunters," as they are locally
styled, are inhabitants of the imme-
diate vicinity who camp in the hills
every fall and kill enough deer to
keep them supplied with meat
through the winner. They kill as
many or more deer than do the In
dams, but would be even harder to
stop.
The tourists, as a usual thing, take

Dislocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna SOderhOIm, OF Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place rs soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain Pain Balm
advertised for sprnines and soreness,
and she asked him to buy hera bottle
of it, which he did. 1t quickly re-
lieved her and enabled her to sleep
which she had not done for several
days. The son was so much pleased
with the relief it gave his mother that
he has since recommended it to many
others. For sale by Strehlke Bros,

that the parents Of the girl were BIT
terly opposed to the union with

Roberts had been haunting Crunk al,
times and tlat there would
be a clash between them sooner OF

L Crunk evidently wanted to play
his cards first and hence the tragedy.
The fatal bullet entered Roberta

passing through the skull, came out
Just behind the left ear. Several
other persons were in the saloon at
the time of the shooting but all, it is
claimed, were unarmed.

gous trump senate dlsbands and sneaks back
TO the regular senate. Legislature gets down
to business
Henry NJ. Teller was elected for the
sixth term in the United State sem
iaoe on Saturday by the democratic
senate and the minority house. This
ends one of the tiercest battle that has
ever been waged in the legislative
h.tlls OF Colorado.
For three or four days prior to his
election, the democratic members of
the Legislature held joint session EN-
aNorng to elect II senator but each
day some member would be absent
! and rs the vote of every democrat in
the legislature was required to give IL
majority it necessitated another joint
meeting each subsequent day. Fin
ally on Saturday last all the demo-
Gratis were present and IL ballot was
taken giving Teller 81 votes. This
being n majority of the Legislature
he was declared elected.
The result is exceedingly crafty
ing, and not only the democrats, but
a majority of the republicans are re-
joicing over the victory. OF course,
the republicans would have preferred
Il member of their own party for Il
tsenator but were willing to see IL
democrat seated in preference to
Notwithstanding had their I'll of him.
One pleasing feature of the recent
fight for the citizens of this neck of
5tlle woods was that the Routt-Ri
sB!unco delegation in the legislature
Senator Jefferson and Representative
ELyttlc-were attending to their du-
stics tas the newspaper reports show
sfrom the beginning to the end of the
sstruggle, never missing II roll call
ssand voting every time for Teller, as
lthey undoubtedly believed their con-
.lstituents desired them to do.
The final vote was one long to be
remembered in Colorado's political
history. 1t was absolutely necessary
NOR all of the democrats to stand sol
idly together in order to elect their
man. Each member may justly take
pride in the fact that without his i'll
dividual vote, Senator Teller could
not have been elected.
Wolcott published adouble-column
statement in the Denver Republican
Sunday, scoring the -Wolcottites
severely and denouncing them as
traitors. The ''roast'' does not in the
least injure the gentlemen who had
the backbone and principle to re-
main true to their constituents. The
majority of the voters are of the opin-
ion that the real traitors are VOL
colt and his followers. Wolcott is
politically dead in Colorado and
the statement was IL post-humous one,
SO to speak.
On Monday Haggott's ''rulpp' SEN
ate-seven in number-came sneak
ing around to the back door of the
senate chamber, pleading for admit
tance, which was readily granted.
On Wednesday Governor Peabody
signed Senator Teller's certificate of
election. On Wednesday evening a
grand reception ard banquet was
held at the Brown Palace in honor of
the newly elected senator.
Both branches of the Legislature
have settled down to business and it
is hoped that good results will follow.
