About the Importance
Of the County Court.
Why Should BE
Judge. People Property Should Be
Especially Particular.

raigned and tfSsd for infractions of the
law. He4 it z he eqeaty court in which
the conipdlsory educational Law Is en-
forced, and il is the county court which
has control over truant children.
All civil suits involving not more
than - coo in value may be broagh t
in the county court Many misde
mesnors mag be tried in the county
court. All appeals from the decisions
Of justices of the peace and police
magistrate must be tried in the county
court
So il will be readily seen that the
selection Of the county judge is OF the
utmost Importance to all property
owners and parents.
James L. Cooper, candidate for
county Judge on the Republican ticket,
is exceptionally well equipped to &C.
ceptably all the oftice Of county judge.
He is graduate of the Law department
of the University OF Michigan. and in
addition to technical legal education
thus acquired be has been engaged in
the active practice of the law in Fre-
mont county for the past fifteen years,
and served one term rs county Judge,
from 1895 to Ises. and is thoroughly
familiar with the duties OF the Office,
and has had the experience and prac-
tice essential to fully equip and qualify
him for the duties of the Office.
Mr.. Cooper has grown up from boy
hood in this city. and no man in the
county is better kaown. His chsractsr-
istics are those of an able Judge. and
for rugged. impartial honests he has
few equals.

The importance OF the Office OF county
Judge may not be fully appreciated.
The county judge comes In closer and
more intimate contact with the personal
affairs and property interests OF the
people than any other county officer.
The county court has exclusive juris-
diction and control over all matters
pertaining TO the probate Of wills and
the settlement Of the estate of deceased
persons. II you should be 30 unfortu-
nate ~ to die. your will must be pro-
baied in the county court
II you die leaving property. whether
you leave will or not. your estate
must be settled under the supervision
and control OF the county judge. II
you die leaving orphan minor child
rem, it will be the county judge who
will appoint guardian for your child
ren. and he will have general super
vision and control over your chiidren's s
property.
The carrying out OF the provisions of
your will and the protection OF your
property interests will depend largely
upon the care, ability and Judgment of
the county judge.
Many an estate has been wasted
away in other counties because OF the
ignorance or carelessness OF the county
court.
II you leave a will it will be the
county Judge who will construe its
terms. interpret its meaning and en-
force it's provisions.

Membership in the corps is compul-

to secure the consent OF the board Of
education, which is not easy to obtain
without valid excuse. Thus far but
very few exemptions have been made.

SOME REASONS WHY
Gee. e. Colgate Should Be Re
excited TO the Superintendeocy
Of Our Public Schools.

Geo. Z. Colrste 10 now serving his
first term 50 County Superintendent a
schools. In the campaign that placed
him In ofhee many people, while &C.
kno-ledgins his sbIlisy .. an educator
and = man Of COED common sense, be-
lieved that be wss = strong partisan
bat on assuming the duties OF his Office
he dropped all parties and politics and
devoted his entire time to the building
up OF the schools Of the county.
II 10 remarkable when one looks al
the improvements tina; have taken
place In the schools of the county since
he came into office. No less than ten
school houses have been built, nearly
every school houre In the county has
been repaired, new furniture ueccssa-
~ apparatus has been secured. longer
school terms in the country. higher
wages 10 teachers, better teachers se
cured and q general revival of school
interest along the entire line.
A few people imagine that the Office
Of county superintendent should be
filled by = woman. This same argu-
ment could be made with greater effect
with respect to the offices Of county
clerk, county treasurer, county ssses-
sor and especially clerk Of the district
court. In Colorado twenty-five coun-
ties have men soperintendents. or the
thirty-six city superintedents in this
state al, are men.
6upt. Colgate has served the people
OF this county 30 the satisfaction OF all.
Every principal and every city super
inteedent and over ninety per cent of
the grade and country teachers will
support supt. Colgate at the coming
election.
The board OF education. the teachers
and the children, these are the parties
who have come In contact with him
and they are for him.
Now II these parties who are directly
interested desire his election. why
shouldn't the great mass Of voters be
for him.
We believe that the people of Fre-
mont county who believe in good
schools and who bclieve In rewarding
man who has done his duty In Office
will support supt- Colgate next Tues
day. e4t

HALLOWEEN
Very Generally Observed In Canon
City. The Event Commemor-
ated by Many Social Gather :
inEs.

Last Monday evening was Hallow-
'een, the evening which precedes All
Hallows, or All Saints Day, and the
occasion was celebrated with more
than accustomed fervor by the people
Of this city. The observance oil Hal
low'een has descended TO US from
medieval times when it was rega rded
a. the night of all others when super
natural influences prevail in human
affairs when spirits of the visible an d
invisible walked abroad, and, for this
reason, our ancestors in the long ago
esteemed it favorable time for divina.
tions in love Affairs.
1t is an ancient custom, and il still
observed in some places, to light bon
fires of straw or brush on Halloween
to drive away the spirits of darkn ess
supposed to be lowering in the air. 1t
was festival in which all classes and
all ages took part, and it ie an event t
which we Of later generation may
appropriately celebrate, although we
may have but little faith in the SUPER
stitions with which it was formerly
invested
All things are new once year and
the celebration of Hallow 'een is per-
petual novelty. Its fascination is per
ennial and its enjoyment by the young
people renders it Of more than ordinary
Importance in the social calendar.
There were 4 score Of parties in this
city last Monday night in honor Of
Hallow zen and many of the games Of
our English ancestors were INDUCED in
on that occasion. 1t is a time when
every body can enjoy TO their hearts
content the amusements of the long
ago without loss Of dignity and they
made the most OF their privilege. (,
Among the more ambitious of these
gatherings was the party given by Miss
Nelius 1t which there were about forty
guests. There was an interesting pro-
gram of entertainment in which the
witch scene from Shakespeare was
reproduced Among the amusing fe a.
lures was "bobbing" for apples and a
musical program by a cornstalk or
chestra- The refreshments consisted
of cider, pumpkin pie and 9th er
features of cuisine much in vogue
during 1.-The era of New Eng
witchcraft. 1t was jolly affair and
will long be remembered by those who
had the good fortune to be present.
Other .spook" parties were given on
Halloween by the junior gymnasium
class of the Y. NJ. C. A: the q. D. R
Club at Miss Gail Conaway's; Miss
Flora Shoemaker, on Greenwood aven-
ue: Mesdames W. E. Galley, Frank P.

the latter; and the Misses Mackenzie

John Williams and G. J. Wilson,
Alias J. J. Morgan. Lodged In
3 Jaif Last Sunday Night For
Horse Stealing. Arrested at
La Junta.

Two men giving their names as
John Williams and c. ]. VIII
son were taken into custody at La
Junta about noon last Saturday BY
Sheriff Stewart Of otero county on the
charge of stealing couple of horses
from J. S. McCurry's ranch, near Glen
dale on Lower Beaver creek the pre-
vious "Wednesday night. Sheriff Simon
was notified of the arrest and in COM
pany with Jesse McCurry left At once
for La Junta to recover the stolen
property and bring the accused to this
city to await the action of the district
court
Sheriff Simon in charge of the prison.
ers arrived here Sunday night: Nc
Curry returning TO the ranch the next
day with the horses. Williams and
Wilson had beensworking on the Nc
Curry place for about ten days, having
been engaged in picking apples and in
other farm work. On Wednesday of
last week they informed their EMPLOYER
that they were going to quit. and. on
receiving their pay, went to Florence
where they remained till dark when
they returned TO the ranch aud atoie
the horses. On discovering tina, the
animals had been taken the authori-
ties throughout Southern Colorado
were notified of the occurrence and re-
quested to be on the lookout for the
thieves, fact which led TO their undo
ing.
On Saturday two men rode up to one
OF the livery stables in La Junts and
asked to have their horses fed. The
proprietor surmised that the animals
had been stolen sent a messenger to
apprise the sheriff OF his suspicions and
the two men were placed under arrest
on calling at the stable for their mounts
a couple of hours later. On being
searched a couple of revolvers, two
pairs Of brass knuckles and small
sum of money was found on the
prisoners, which was turned over to
Sheriff Simon and will be used as evil
dence against them at the trial.
The prisoners are both young men,
one OF them being twenty-three and
the other twenty-four years of age.
Wilson had been a soldier in the
Philippine Islands, having enlisted in
the military service in Oklahoma.
There can be no question as to the
guilt of the prisoners and il is a fore
gone CONCLUSION tina t they will have q
chance to board at the expense OF the
state in the penitentisry for some time
to come. They were headed for the
Indian Territory, and had they sue
ceeded in getting hey ond the Colorado
line it is doubtful IL they would ever
have been arrested. The apprehension
Of the thieves is due in . large measure
