To Meet at Cotopaxi.

At the instance of superintendent
Colgate, meeting of the teachers of
the various schools in the western part
of the county will be held at Cotopaxi
next Saturday for the purpose of dis
cussing matters relating to the peda-
gogical profession 1t is expected that
nine or ten schools will be represented
and that the occasion will be one of
more than ordinary interest While
superintendent Colgate has refrained
from assigning any of the teachers to
discuss special topics, in the hope that
the conrentionality of the proceedings
can be eliminated in that way, he an
ticipates that all will take part in the
program, which will consist chiefly of
"round table, talk on methods that
will promote efficiency in the country
schools

Being without family or dependents
he made his sweetheart, Miss Myrtle
A. Wright, the beneficiary OF the policy
under the terms of his will.
An EFFORT has been made by W, F.
Curry, clerk of the local camp, Modern
Wuodmen, to locate Miss Wright but
of her can be found, although it is be-
lieved she is somewhere in Texas. A
brother of the deceased, who resides
in Trinidad, has put in claim for the
money as the next of kin and is max
ing determined fight TO get possess
sion of it, although he will not succeed
IL the Woodmen can prevent it.
MIR. Curry says the search for Miss
Wright will not be given up until a
year has elapsed, when the policy will
have to be paid to the contesting
brother under the provisions OF the
statute as the natural legatee,

to mention the opportunity for wage
earners in other lines of work. The
outlook for big fruit and berry crop
in the vicinity of Canon City was never
better than it is now and the prices to
growers are likely to be more satisfac-
tory than was the case last season, ow-
ing to the prospect for a largely increas-
ed demand for produce of that char
acter at Cripple Greek, Leadville and
other mining centers
Colorado by reason of its almost un-
riyalled resources ought to be one of
the most prosperous states in the
Union, and this enviable condition is
destined to be realized when the exist
ing strikes are settled and things are
readiusted upon normal basis, posi-
tion towards which it is rapidly ap-
proaching. The future of Canon City
is hopeful in the extreme and there is
no reason to anticipate it with gloom
or encouragement

STATE COURT NOT FINAL
Judge Riner of the United States
Court FavorS VIM. Tenant
In His Contention With
the Railroad.

Some three years ago William Ten
nant of Florence recovered Judgment
against the Florence & Cripple Creek
Railroad Company for something over
80 600 and the company appealed the
case to the supreme court. Recently
that tribunal affirmed the opinion of
Judge Bailey of the district court, be-
fore whom the case was first tried, and
Mr.. Tenant expected to get his mon-
ey. The judgment was for timber fur
uished for the construction of the
above named railroad in 1894. About
the first of last month. shortly after the
supreme court decision, the United
States. by its district attorney, filed a
suit against Mr. Tennant in the cir
cult court at Denver, and asked for an
injunction to restrain Mr.. Tenant and
others who had acquired an interest in
the Judgment by assignment from COL
lecting, and to have Mr. Tenant de-
clared trustee for the benefit OF the
government on account of the fact that
the timber had been cut on govern
ment land and the government for that
reason claimed the money. A tempor-
ary order to show cause why writ
should not issue restraining them was
issued and served on MIR. Tenuant, ct al i.
and hearing Of the matter was on last
Friday concluded before Judge Riner
in Denver, and the injunction was de-
MED upon showing that the timber was
furnished for the original construction
of the railroad and which was permit
ted by the statute
A new question, however, arose in
the hearing in this, that part of the
timber was used to reconstruct or re-
pair after the washout in June, 1894
and the United States authorities
claimed such repair of construction
work in any want could not be covered
by the permission Of the statute.
Judge Riner held. however. that no
such nieety would be indulged in by
the court in construisg this statute
which was intended TO aid in the work
of a quasi-puhlic nature such as the con-
stroction of a railroad through new
and undeyeloped country.
