Directors Not Guilty.

mot guilty, but defendants to pay
the costs and be reprimanded by the
court" was the novel verdict rendered
yesterday In the case of the Blythe
township school directors, of Schuylkill
county, who were charged with extort-
ing money from teachers. The outcome
was great surprise, as little defense
had been offered except the plea that
the money secured from the teachers
was used for political purposes. The
verdict is condemned to such an extent
that the question of holding public in
dignation meeting is being agitated
Judge MARI is at a loss to know why
he should reprimand the directors who
have been declared not guilty, and he
said that he would not carry out the
suggestion of the jury until next Mon
day. The costs amount to $780,
The court has under way a secret in
vestigation Of the charge that the jury
was tampered with. 1t is alleged that
two members of the jury were sp-
preached.

Governor Peabody lnaugurated.

Coloradois now under Republican ad
ministration and Republicans elected in
November and the one Democrat were
formally inaugurated into Office shortly
after noon Tuesday. The most imposing
ceremony was the Inauguration of Gov
ernor Peabody. He was sworn in on the
steps of the capitol by Chief Justice
Campbell. Then he was escorted to the
house where the members OF the assem-
bly, were gathered in joint session. There
he read his inaugural address. Previous
to this there was parade, and those who
took part in it made fine showing. Tues
day afternoon a reception was held, fol
lowed in the evening by a grand ball in
the capitol building.
At noon Tuesday the administration
OF the affairs of the state of Colorado
was placed in new hands. The Repub-
licans will have a chance to show what
they can do in the way of conducting
state affairs after rest Of six years.
The inaugural ceremonies were pre-
ceded by a military parade, in which the
National Guard, the High School Cadets,
the regular troops from Fort Logan and
military organizations from various edu-
cational institutions of the state took
part. The procession which marched
through the principal streets of the city
was the most imposing that has taken
place in years.
The great capitol building was elabor
ately decorated and the house chamber,
where the governor and state officials
were sworn in and where Governor Pea
body delivered his address, was thronged
with people who came to see the old ad-
ministration out and the new in.
The address Of the governor was quite
lengthy, and he went into detail to some
extent with respect to the policy he de
termined to pursue during his term of
office.

fIre seare AT EastonylIIe.

The big Gates building at Eastonville
narrowly escaped destruction by fire last
Saturday morning. A pan Of hot grease
in the oven of the kitchen stove at the
Mercantile hotel, located in the second
story of the Gates building, caught fire
and exploded with fearful force, throw
ing the burning liquid all over the room,
which was soon ablaze. The fire was
gaining considerable headway when
Walter Whitmore, the druggist across
the street, appeared on the scene with
a chemical fire extinguisher and extin-
guished the blaze in a few moments,
probably saving thousands of dollars
worth of property, as the entire building
and contents would doubtless have been
consumed but for the timely arrival Of
Mr.. Whitmore with his fire extinguisher.
1t was certainly narrow escape for the
hotel, the Gates store, and in fact the
entire business portion of Eastonville.

Railroads riust Pay ior stock They KIN.

Colorado railroad companies must now
pay for the stock they kill or prove that
they are not responsible for the killing.
The six months of grace granted by the
new act has expired in which time the
roads were allowed to fence their rights OF
way to protect stock. From now on
stockmen may collect damages simply by
bringing suit in justice court. Not a
road has erected mile of fence in the last
six months to protect stock from wander
ing onto its tracks. There is no better
protection for cattle now than when the
law went into effect. The new statute
does not specifically force the erection of
these fences but makes easier the col
lection of damages from the roads,
period of thirty days being granted after
the animal is killed before suit is filed.

is that providing damages for killing
