JELTZ Is ARRESTED.
Negro Editor Spends Night in
Jail

Fred l. JeItz, editor Of the State
Ledger, a negro publication. was arrest
ed last night for being drunk and in
sulting a white woman on the street.
Mrs. Goldstein of 506 Van Buren, street
says that she was accOsted by Jeltz al
the corner of Fifth street and Kansas
avenue She says that he grabbed her,
but seeing her husband started to get
away. PatTolman Carson saw the Oc-
currence and arrested Jeltz before he
could escape. At the station the colored
editor was searched and relieved of a
bottle of whisky before being thrown
into Jail He seemed greatly offended
because of his arrest and remarked re
peatedly You fellows don't seem to
know who I am" The officers assured
him that he was known, but that they
knew no good of him.
Jeltz was kept over night. and re-
leased on his own recognizance this
morning, TO appear at the 4 O'Clock ses-
sion of police court and answer to the
charges against him. Mrs. Goldstein
VS. she does not want her name mixed
with a case of that kind, and does not
want to swear to a complaint against
Jeltz, but says that he has insulted her
on former occasions. The police say
that complaints have been made on sew
eral occasions about Jeltz forcing his at
tentions on white women, but that they
always refused to make complaint for
the same reason.

IN the trial several days ago that DR..
Alexander and man unknown to the

WISE HORSES.
They Become Familiar With Express
Call Cards and Stop.

Il have heard of express horses that
cards that the driver had nothing to do
packages" said Manager c. NJ. Day yes
terday The story is told that one horse
in New York has such an eye for BUSH
ness that he takes in upper stories as
we'll as ground floors. and never misses
a trick. Sounds fishy, doesn't it2 Well
/ believe it, nevertheless. The trick is
done by drivers who stop their horses
in every instance a few feet before
reaching the sign or call card of their
company and after an affeetionate pat
or caress, taking up the card and wav-
ing it al their dumb partner. Continual
association with this same card fixes it
on the eyesight of the horse until he
knows it well. Finally the horse falls
into the habit of stopping at the IA
miiiar sign as readily as the driver.
Now, we have such horse in Denver.
He is a big intelligent bay of the name
of Dick, whom / purchased at Long
mont a couple of years ago. Frank

companion Of him, .munches' him with
a stick Of candy, a lump of sugar, an
apple or such.
Lately he. has noticed that Dick
would stop without being told to do SO
every time a call card was seen. First
he would go to the right and stop. then
if the next card was on the left he
would cut across and fetch up dead in
front of it. and nod his head as much
as to say: Get that package out OF that
store and you want to hurry too -

CAUSED STAMPEDE.
Johnson Nearly Defeated the School
Tax Certificate Bill.

There was stampede in the house
today when the bill extending the ma
turity of school land certificates, to bear
4iper cent interest. came up for passage.
1t was the rate of interest which started
the trouble Johnson of Deca tur voted
no. explained it by saying that he was
not opposed to the extension of the GER
hficate but thought they ought to draw
per cent interest. He said the people
who hold these certificates are not ask
ing for less than s per cent interest and
that the bill ought TO provide for that
amount in order to swell the amount
which goes to the support of the public
schools semi-annuaily
This caused Representative Francis to
change his vote as soon as he had an
opportunity He had voted aye and he
changed to no Then all over the house
members bobbed up to vote no. At first
JOhnson's was the only vote against the
bill, but there were at least 20 changes
after his explanation.
Representative Peck finally stopped
the stampede by announcing that while
