We Talk loo Much

Most every body talks too much; Pm
certain this is so.
l think about it more and more the
older that grow.
l talk deal too much myself, and
this is how / know
There quite lot of ignorance that
silence would disguise,
How very little people know you never
would surmise,
If they didn't talk so much they'd be
considered wise.
There little one can talk about from
which no harm can come.
There much of hidden danger lies in
confdante, or chum,
And secrets told are far less safe than
if the lips were dumb
How often one, in argument by fiery
impulse led,
Will many more antagonize, and bit
ter discord spread
I guess the most we talk about were
better left unsaid.
And 80 / think man may fill high
and honored place,
And carry many grievous sins with
dignity and grace,
If he can wear pleasant smile and. a
calm and silent face.
There many men in prison cells and
liable to stay
Who might be floating at the top,
distinguished, blithe and gay.
They answered peoples questions,
and gave themselves away.
We all know men we'll qualified pris-
on cell to fill
Who never got behind the bars, and
maybe never will;
And all the reason for it is-the gen
tlemen kept still.

KILLING AT BASALT
Geo. A. Morrison Kills Harvey
White in Self-defense

Geo. A. Morrison, proprietor of the
Ell Jebel ranch near Basalt, Monday
morning shot and instantly killed
Harvey White, one of his tenants.
Morrison was riding the range for
cattle and came to the ranch occupied
by White about four miles from the
home ranch. Mr.. Morrison brought
up the subject of new lease for the
coming season. White, who had
been drinking, flew into a rage and
declared that he would kill Morrison
and his entire family. He rushed in
to the house and quickly re-appeared
fiourishing sixshooter and renewing
his threats upon Morrison life. Nor
rison was standing near his horse up
on which he always carried rifle
when riding the range. When White
had approached within a few feet,
Morrison drew his gun from the scab :
bard and fred instantly killing his
antagonist.
This is substantially the story told
by Morrison who is regarded as one of
the most peaceable and quiet citizens
of that section, and Morrison and his
friends insist that the shooting was
purely a matter of self defense. Men
who reached White Immediately after
the shooting found him with his hand
grasping the six shooter, the trigger
of which was drawn back This lends
II plausi bility to Morrison $ statement
that he was forced to shoot or be
killed himself The coroner was no
titled and the inquest was held Thurs
day, resulting in the acquittal of Nor
rison
