THE BEECH SEAL.
Peculiar Token Formerly Conferred
IN Clarendon Gorge.

The summer visitor who, strolling through the
verdurous glooms of Clarendon Gorge IN vermont
hears the roar of the fast trains or the Ftutlano
Railroad speeding north with loads OF New-f orkers
bound for mountain and lake cannot help being
impressed with the changes for the better whlch
the years have brought since this gorge used
to ring with screams Of the ancestors Of those
happy people in the trains. as the Green Mountain
Boys placed the beech seal" on the bare backs OF
the hated Workers"

The Workers who had this seal conferred on
them were who supported the officials OF New
York State in their attitude of confscatiOn toward
what were called the New Hampshire Grants. New
York previous TO the Revolution claimed jursdic-
ton north of the Massachusetts line and eastward
to the Connecticut River. Governor Wentworth
Of New Hampshire thought, under the charter Of
the Crown. that he had the right OF granting lands
west Of the Connecticut In what is Vermont.
The men who accepted grants Of land from New
Hampshire were men we'll fitted to maintain what
they believed to be their rights. Governor Tryor
and few Of the other officials Of this State tried

York State or give them I'D to spectators. This
would give him an opportunity to secure exorbitant

Two Towns Dry.

There is horrible dryness in the
atmosphere of Ault and Windsor
today, and all because Dave Camp,
w. NJ. Boomer and T. H. Roseman
went to those places during the night
and took possession Of about car
load and half of liquor at the club
rooms of the two towns.
The raid was made on the Ault
club room Friday afternoon by Mar
shal Camp and Mr.. Boomer, and the
manager of the club, r. F. Mason,
arrested.
After returning from Ault, the
officers, this time accompanied by
Watchman Roseman, drove to Wind
sor and took possession Of the club
house there, run by Frank Lane. In
making entrance into the place Mar
shall Camp had rather spirited
tussle with the bartender, Ed john
son, that resulted in the young man
landing in a heap in a corner and
before he realized what had hit him
he was wearing pair of handouts.
Later the proprietor, Frank Lane,
was arrested in front of the place as
he was coming from the theater.
The three men will be arraigned be-
fore Justice Willard this afternoon.

Giddinss.

There is an unusual sadness in the
death of Mrs. Minot j. Giddings,
which occurred in the Greeley hos
pital at about IL Saturday morn
ing, from typhoid fever. Her hus-

He has not even known of her crit

Mrs. Giddings, who up to a little
over year ago was Miss Mae Hertzog,
had been a resident of Greeley for
about four years. On account of her
gentle nature and many loving quail
tiles she made friends wherever she
went, and scores of these friends
have been awaiting anxiously for
days turn for the better in her con-
dition.

MUST BE SEEN
WORTHY POOR CASES ARE
REFERRED TO CHURCHILL
Remarkable Case of DR.. Hall
and Wife to Whom Help
Could Not Be
Given

Have things reached such stage
in Weld county that the county COM
missioners dare not lend temporary
aid to an old Civil War veteran and
his wife, who have been residents of
Greeley great many years and who
by illness have become needy, with
out having to ''see" Churchill?
That is just what has happened in
Greeley within a week or ten days.
John Hall was born in central New
York in lS4S. In the early part of
the winter of 1865, when he was but
II years of age, he enlisted in Nolun-
teer Company ID, One Hundred and
Ninety Second n. Y. V. l. Within
thirty days he was sent to the front
and until the surrender of Lee was
actively engaged between the Potomac
and Richmond. with Sheridan. Al
terward he received an honorable
discharge. He then studied veterin-
ary surgery and later came to Greeley.
where he established himself in this
business and up to about eight years
ago made his living at this.
Now DR.. Hall is badly crippled
with rheumatism and no longer able
to do ANYTHING. Recently it was
discovered by other members Of
U. S. Grant Post, G. A. r., that
DR.. Hall and his wife were in desti-
tute circumstances, but unwilling to
ask for aid. However, Post Adjutant
l. II. Paine and Levi E. Allen inter-
ested themselves in the case. and Mr..
Allen called up r. w. DeVinney,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners. He was advised to see
H. E. Churchill about getting a
ton of coal for the family.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Paine held a
consultation after this message and
Mr.. Paine went to see Churchill,
who promised to take the case under
advisement. Two days later Mr..
Allen called on the Hall family and
found still no coal there, and
Churchill was again visited. This
time the visit resulted in their being
referred to P. A. Tisdel, who has
looked after the work of investigat-
ing needy cases for the county fol
years.
Mr.. DeVinney's excuse for referr'
ing the G. A. r. men to Churchill
was that Mr.. Churchill was county
attorney and had to pass on al
bills.
II. n. Haynes and J. w. McCreery
both of whom have served terms a.
county attorney, say that never II
their experience were they asked b.,
the commissioners to investigate
cases of charity, and that it is nj
part of the duty of the county at
| torney.
Howard Rea, who is the residen
commissioner and to whom the look
ing up of this case would naturall
fall, was not informed of the matte
at all.
Now. was the whole thing simpl
a political deal to place the G. A
r. veterans under obligations t
Churchill?
The old veterans believe it was.

ing some of the democratic NOM
inees.
G. G. Phillip of Fort Lupton

tion, and Hy Candlin secretary. w.
S. Falkenberg Of Fort Lupton out

les and purposes of the party in this

Some discussion was had on the
question of putting Il ticket in the
field this fall, but upon motion of III.
j. Grace ID committee was appointed
to select ticket. This committee
was composed of Rev. ii. j. Grace,
j. NJ. Cameron, Wesley Sargent,
Mr.. F'alkenberg, Mrs. Putnam, II.
Candlin and g. G.. Phillip.
Robert Steele, A. b. Copeland and
G. S. Allsebrook We're appointed
committee on resolutions and recon-
mended the following resolutions,
which were adopted:
I'VE, the prohibitionists of Weld
county in convention assembled, do
hereby renew and pledge our adher-
ence to the principles of the prohi-
bition party as set forth in the state
and national platforms, among which
is the total suppression of the traffic
in Intoxicating liquors by every law
full means, to the end that the legal
lied saloon shall be closed, thereby
stopping the great evil that Is SO
fearfully debauching the manhood
and womanhood of our land.
''We hold the prohibition party,
which has always been the foremost
champion of law and order and right
eousness in government as opposed to
the persistent violation of law and
collusion with immortality and crime,
ought not to give any uncertain
sound at this time upon this subject.
We demand the election to Office Of
men and women who will stand
firmly for the impartial and faithful
administration of the law, and the
vigorous suppression of all forms of
lawlessness and vice without fear or
favor to any party, clique or inter-
est.
''We favor an amendment to the
constitution of the United States
providing for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of
the people of the several states. We
believe that Intelligent American
citizens ought to have the opportun-
ity when they go to the polls to vote
directly upon the leading issues be-
fore the people, and at the same
time to vote for candidates for office
with sole reference to their character
and fitness: hence we favor the in
corporation of the principal of direct
legislation otherwise known as the
initiative and referendum) into our
state and national governments. a"
