rupted by the angry cries and outcries
Of the mob, who shouted that no man
should stand between them and their
victim.
"Mr. Teller then stepped to the
front Of the stage. and informed them
that there was one man, at least, who
would stand between them and their
victim. and, that, before they should
execute that man without . trial, they
must wreak their mad and wild vsn-
geance upon him. He commanded si-
lence again, and declared that the man
was his prisoner. and that he would
take him to the United States Jail at
Denver, where he belonged, and SEQ
that he should have fair trial for his
life.
"The result Of the effort msde by
Mr.. Teller, which no other man In
that community would have dared to
make. was that Teller led his prisoner
through that mob, out Of the hall. into
the street. and TO railroad train.
And he landed him in the United
States jail at Denver. as he declared
that he would do"

SAVED A TRAITOR
How Senator Teller Saved Traitor
After Lincoln's Death

After Lincoln's Death
A Washington correspondent gives
currency to the following incident.
which was related to him BY . member
OF the congressional delegation from
this state. which, probably, many old
timers in Colorado will vividly remem-
Der:
There is no more courageous man
in public life than Senator Teller. He
has passed through many thrilling ex-
periences during his lifetime, but on
no occasion was his virile manhood
and magnificent courage displayed to
greater advantage than on the evening
after the news Of the assassination OF
President Lincoln. A miner, coming
from the shaft where he had been
working all day, upon being informed
OF the assassination, carelessly said {:
He did not die too soon.'
"That unfeeling and unpatriotic re-
mark was passed from lip to lip until
everybody In the entire community
had been made aware OF It. Shortly
after nightfall mob broke into the
mans house and dragged him to the
public hall, where lynch sourt trial
was to be given him. He had abso-
lutely no show for his life. The entire
crowd appeared to be determined to
kill him. A long rope had been car
ried to the hall, but hanging was re-
garded AZ too good for the man. The
rope was to be used BY the whole mob
and the unfortunate fellow was to be
dragged to desth through the streets
"Ssnator Teller was q young man
then, but he had gained the respect
and confidence Of the people, all Of
whom knew him BY sight. In his Law
office, which was half q block away
from the public hall In " hich the lynch
court was being held. he was informed
Of the situation. Hastily taking his
hat IN his hand Mr. Teller rushed down
| stairs, out into the street, and made
his way to the hall for the purpose OF
saving the life Of that man. Numeroua
friends Of Mr.. Teller endeavored to re-
strain him. because they feared that
he might suffer at the hands Of the
mob II he interfered. But, with set
teeth, he proceeded to the hall. pushed
his way through the rough crowd, took
= stand on the platform, and stood be-
side the trembling prisoner He waved
his hand for silence, and obtained il.
He thereupon addressed the mob, and
informed them that the prisoner was
not their prey, but . prisoner OF the
United States. and that the city should
not be disgrsced by the exercise ol
mob law upon q man who had made q

Personal Opinions.

J. n. Ellis-In view OF the very de-
lightful weather we have been having
in Canon City for the last month or
more 1t Is difficult to realize the almost
frigid temperature they have been
having thousand mile to the east
ward. On the 18th inst. the Ohio river
was frozen over at Cincinnati and
hundreds Of It's citizens crossed on the
ice TO Newport, Kentucky. The Ohio
river wa frozen up from PittsburR.
Pennsylvania, to Cairo. Illinois, last
week, and the Mississippi was In the
same condition from St. Paul. Minne-
sofa. to Keokuk, Iowa. The advantages
Of living in the Arkansas valley are
not appreciated to the extent they
should be,
Msa1s Ro6bins-Last Monday morn
ing I climed up the rugged slopes Of
the Hogs back and found the atmos-
phere SO genial and alluring that I
took o0 my coat and spread it down
under the shelter Of . big rock and
rsgaled myself with . sun bath. For
an hour or 30 I enjoyed myself in .
slumberous. dreaming sort Of . way
such as one might do in the Eastern
states In the early days OF September.
1t was a unique experience and one
that could hardly have been duplicated
on the same date in any Of the states
east Of the Missouri river. The winter
climate OF Canon City is about the
best in the Temperate Zone II the
weather we are now having may be
taken as an index.

The name of Geo. w. Byington OF

and | think if the matter is properly
worked up, it will be a source of profit
to the Monroe mana cement. There
were some needless expenses last year,
but the Monroe management secured
some valuable experience last season
and will know great deal more next
year. | think for one thing the play

He VAS pleased With the selection Of
George Wheatley to succeed himself

MIR. Wheatley takes ~ thorough

DR.. G. Surehnor's Opinions.

DR.. G. Surghnor was the Monroe rep
resentatiye at the league meeting held
Tuesday in Greenville says the Nicks
burg Post
The Monroe team was mismanaged
last year, he said, and there's no
dlllht about that. Next year, however,
the reins will be in the hands of Geo.
Leidy and | think things will be diff
ferent. The various managers of the
Monroe team last season failed TO Sc
cure proper control of the players and
the boys did pretty much ss they pleas
ed. Not a fine was imposed. There
was too much shifting about and While
enough Nancy was spent TO secure
good players. the money was not wisely
spent and the results We're not what
they should have been. Last season
Monroe lost about $4,000 In few
days the Monroe public will be called
upon TO raise $500 fcr the coming sea
son. think that will put us through
without trouble. in fact I think during
next year the team should make
enough money TO p ayall expenses. l
believe Leidy will be able 10 select .

and he not only knows baseball but he
loves che sport.
After the meeting Mr. Byington was
in very pleasant frame OF mind. He
said: MIR. Dilley and myself came
down here from Pine Bluff in an almost
belligerent condition. Vague rumors
had reached as that it was intended to
kick Pine Bluff out of the league. or at
best TO make Us pay heavy additional

think the visiting teams will have no
trouble getting in and out Of Pine Bluff
next season by way of Greenville. and
the tip via Memphis. which took up
time and caused expense, will be un-
necessary. The affairs of the Pine
Bluff team will be managed in a thor
oughly business-like manner next veal
and While the directors are not expect
ing to get rich, | think the Pine Bluff
team Will make money, - at the worst
pay all expenses. Our team or mana
