Fort Lyon Meeting.

About fifty farmers from Lamar and
vicinity went to Las Animas last Mon
day to attend the Fort Lyon Canal
stockholders meeting. Our farmers
knew they were butting up against the
famous Las Animas gang, but with their
usual termerity wsded right in and came
home with the management Of the canal
in their control. 1t was probably the
most intense and interesting scrap Of the
many annual meetings Of the company,
and from the time the meeting was first
called to order until after midnight the
result was always in doubt. When the
votes were counted the east end ticket
had many Thousand votes to spare.
On the question Of an open vote the
count was the closest Of the day, being
so to AZ in favor, and in this connection
our people should realize the necessity
of attending these meetings in person
instead of by proxy, as on all questions
settled by rising vote the proxy 8 use
less.
That the east end vote was united and
we'll handled can be seen by tho vote on
the three east end candidates as out of
total OF over 10000 votes there was
only about 1900 difference between the
highest and the lowest, and they had
many thousand to spare over their near
est competitors. A number Of stock
holders In this section have not had their
stock transferred to themselves on the
books of the company and cannot for
that reason cast it's vote. This Is mat
ter Of great importance and should be
looked after at once by all entitled to
votes, as judging by the past, these con-
tests are to be a Yearly affair, and will
soon come to have the same interest in
public estimation as the annual football
The board of directors elected was as
follows: On east end ticket X. E. Mess
enger, B. 7. McClave and D. B. Novels;
on west end ticket j. ]. Cooper and
Do nald Mcintosh. This is an able and
conscientious board and one that will
eadeavor to do justice to all parts Of the
canal. The board met after the meet
ing and elected the following officers for
the year: X. E. Messenger, president;
Carl Burke, superintendent; Frank
Kreybill, secretary; D. B. Novels, treas
urer.
The question of reservoirs was Discus
sed but was sent back to tho board with
instructions to make further surveys
A resolution was passed making 1t the
duty Of the secretary to furnish Official

Into an Engagement
ARTILLERY BROUGHT INTO USE
Today's Affair the Most important Of
Any OF the Army Maneuvers Thus

Camp Young, West Point, KY. Oct

in the woods six miles down the Nash
Vile pike nearly seven thousand troops
We're astir early and as the morning
advanced the intermittent cracking of
krags as the skirmishers from the
opposing forces felt out the position
of the Enemy" was superseded by
heavy firing which at times became the
veritable roar of battle that military
novelists Invariably describe as ac-
companying the conflict.
Today's maneuver was based on the
establishment of an outpost by the
Brown army and Its attack by the
blues. The attacking force was given
a little more weight to compensate for
having to work on outside lines. The
Brown forces moved out late yester-
day afternoon and bivouacked. With
the Indiana troops went Gov. Durbin
and staff, and the Indiana executive
spent the night on the field with the
militia from his state.
The artillery was used the second
time since the maneuvers began and
the affair proved the most important
Of any thus far.

An interesting question has been

participate In a convention and then
assist in the nomination Of a candidate
by petition This arose In connection
with the nomination Of II. L. Olson, OF
Northwood, as an independent candi-
date for representative in the VIM
neba ago-Worth district and the nomin-
alton of William Welden as an inde-
pendent candidate in Hardin county.

republican conventions this year are

nations is specific In prohibiting one
who has participated in primary cleo
ton of one party taking part In another
and makes such participation prima
facia evidence of fraud. Now a nomin-
alton by petition is In the same posi-
ton as nomination by primary cleo
ton. 1t is therefore urged by some
that one who has taken part In pri-
mary or convention has no right to
engage in making nominations after
wards to oppose the candidates of the
party to which they belong. In both
these cases the independent candidates
are opposed to the regular republican
nominations.
