rails were removed and turning slight

knocked the bridge into the creek. The

Complaint Against Judge Seeds.

In a brief filed in the Court of Ap-
peals October 31st. charges are made
that Judge William p. Seeds made
such remarks in the conduct of a case
that the remarks could well be taken
as resembling anarchy. The brief Is
on behalf of the appellants in the Grip
pie Creek election case and is entitled
The City Council of the City of Grip
pie Creek, ct al. Against James e.
Hanley and W. G. ShultZ." The at
tOrneys in the case ore for the city
council and are Messrs. Temple,
Crump, James Owen, George H. Kohn
and Charles C. Butler. The members
of the city council are contesting the
right of James Z. Hanlev and w. G.
.Shultz to seats in the city council. In
he trial court Judge Seeds decided
for the two members Seeking seats and
the case comes to the Court of Ap-
peals.
The statement, which is said to be
eminently unfair on the part of the
court, was made, it is claimed in the
brief. at the opening of the case. On
account of the bias of the court a
change of venue was asked. The re-
marks which are cited in the brief fol
low:
1T appears that the petitioners,
Hanley and Shultz, were elected by a
majority of the votes cast and re-
ceived their certificates of election
from the proper officers. and where
it appears that they have been arbi-
trarily removed from office and their
places given to men who were not
elected and had no right thereto. If
courts refuse to grant redress in such
cases. the people will take the matter
into their own hands. and would be
justified in SO doing
This coming from the presiding
judge in the case is said in the brief
to be SO startling as to arouse fears
of the parties against whom they were
directed. 1t is claimed that after this
remark the judge should have granted
change of venue.

More Troops Recalled.

A Denver Republican special Of Oc-
tober Both says: Governor Peabody
yesterday recalled $50 OF the National
Guard, now stationed in the Cripple
Creek district. That will reduce the
total force in the Cripple Creek dis
trict to about $50 men, which, in the
opinion of Governor Peabody, is suffi-
cient to preserve order In the district.
The companies and commands recalled
were: Troop c Of Denver, in command
of Captain II. D. Smith; Battery A of
Denver, commanded by Capt J. c. Ex-
line; Company A of Florence Company
E of Fort Collins and Company H OF
Fort Morgan.
With these troops will come the re-
tired officers now on active duty and
several of the colonels on the COVER
nor's staff The situation is clearing
sufficiently to make this change advis-
able and Governor Peabody stated yes
terday afternoon that he thought that
the rest Of the troops could be sent to
their homes before long. Il believe. -
said Governor Peabody. that the situa-
ton in Cripple Creek warrants the
sending of the troops to their homes.
and for this reason l have done so. l
am in hopes that before another week
has passed that the remainder of the
troops can be sent back to their
homes. l have thought it advisable to
return the retired officers and some OF
the colonels. The situation is now
such that only enough for provost
guard are needed and the 250 men now
in the district will be sufficient for
that"

Protest Against Timber Sales.

A protest has been filed with Gov
ernor Peabody by the Colorado State
Forestry Association denouncing the
recent sale Of timber at the headwa-
ters of the San Juan and Platte riv-
ers. 1t is claimed in the petition that
the land board has entered into tacit
Oyreement with the federal govern
ment to the effect that no timber is
to be sold in attitudes of moro than
$500 feet without it first being ascer-
tained that no damage would result
to the agricultural interests of the
state. II is asked that the recent
sales be rescinded, If possible, and
that no further timber be sold from
the headwaters of the streams named.
w. G. NJ. Stone, president of the
State Forestry Association, expressed
his views on the subject as follows:
Our mountain forests are rapidly
depicting The mountain streams are
steadily diminishing in their summer
flow; the demand for water is con-
stantly extending, and yet the State
Land Board was never SO beset by
lumbermen. millmen, spectators and
their political friends as at the pres
ent time. They all seem bent on one
more slice of the forests before they
disappear and the present board mas
itself unable to resist the pressure to
sell more and more timber, although
suicidal in its effect upon our water
supply.
In February last the forestry board
took up the matter and asked the
land board to desist from further sell
ing for the time being, and also asked
it to request the government to eX-
anime the state timber and furnish
working plans by which to Intelligent
ly adopt a state lang policy III the
matter.
Thee negotiations resulted in the
government taking up the investiga
tfon and in an understanding with
the supervisor of reservoirs in Colo
RADIO that no more sales would be
made without his knowledge and con
Arrence.

The vote for Judge Overs could not
be accurately tabulated last night, but
it viii! probably run 10000 in the

and Clear Creek counties and was the
means of giving campbell plurality
in number of counties carried by

the Republican candidate was success
full, Judge Garrigues winning in the
northern district and Judge Lewis in

Oakes Home Is Taxable.

Judge Johnson OF the District Court
at Denver has decided that the Oakes
Home for Consumptives in Denver is
not charitable institution under the
intent of the law and is therefore not
entitled to exemption from taxation
The suit was brought by the bishop
and chapel of the Cathedral of St.
John, corporation, against the treas
urer Of Arapahoe county to prevent
the latter from selling the Oakes Home
for delinquent taxes. The amount al
legged to be due under the decision is
$4,943.95, the total on valuation OF
$83,400 in 1901 and $66,720 in 1902. 1t
is understood that an appeal will be
made from the decision.
In the decision. Judge johnson goes
to great length in his description Of
the expensive and luxurious interior
decoration of the home, such as q
plentiful supply of tiled bathrooms and
lavatories, well stocked library. and
various up-to-date little comforts for
those who pay $45 month for room
and board; or 81 per day.
The valuation of the grounds and
buildings is estimated at $180,O0O; the
maintenance of the home and profits
come from the patrons. The officers
and servants make a payroll of $4,000
year. and Judge Johnson thinks that
to include the home in the list with
charitable institutions would be un-
constitutional.
