THE GRIM REAPER
SUMMONS TOM" RILEY, A PIONEER
MINING MAN OF COLORADO.
MINERS CONSUMPTION THE CAUSE
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY PAYS DEsER-
WING TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMORY.

On last Monday morning Thomas Riley
OF this city died at his home. on Colorado
street, of miners consumption. Mr..
Riley was A9 years of age at the time of
his death and unmarried. While it was
known that his health had been poor for
the past year or so. since his return from
a trip tn the Pacific coast there was
seemingly gradual improvement and of
late he has made frequent trips down
town and was in excellent spirits. His
death, therefore. was entirely unexpected
and shock to his large circle of friends.
This is the second visitation by death
in this home in little over two months
On December Ist, 1905. Miss Mary Riley.
sister OF the deceased, while visiting with
him in Denver. suddenl, died while
walking with him. This was naturally a
great shock to him and may have has
tened his own demise.
Thomas Riley was the brother of
George Riley. mayor Of Idaho Springs
and vice-president Of the Merchants and
Miners National bank. Together the
two had spent years of endeavor in min
ing and prospecting in Gilpin and Clear
Creek counties. For years they made
their home in a little cabin in ellison
gulch, trying their fortune in different
mines in that locality, in the main with
Indifferent success. Dame Fortune was
coy in those days, and it was not until
the boys. in company with {. J. Allen.
secured the Franklin mine, under lease
and bond, that the prospect for better
times and competence frightened.
II required much toll and patience.
however, TO transform the Franklin from
. comparative prospect into steady
producer. Its reputation being made, it
naturally was not long till = purchaser
arrived upon the scene. the three owners
obtaining a handsome sum for the prop
erty.
They sfterward purchased beautiful
home in this city. and there resided with
their sister. with the prospect ei many
bright and happy days before them.
The funeral services were held IT St.
Paul's church of this city On "Wednesday
morning. The various bsipe-s houses
closed their doors during the services,
which were largely attended both at the
church aud cemetery.

A special tain bearing the officials of
the Colorado x Southern railway arrived
in Idaho Springs at S O'Clock Thursday
afternoon and returned to Denver yester-
day morning. The party consisted of

dent aud General Manager J. NJ. Herbert,
General Freight Agent II. A. johnson,
Superintendent {. E. Carson, Chief Engi-
neer II. w. Cowan. Roadmaster Peter
Nelson and Travelling Freight Agent r. r.
Adams. The special cars were placed on
the house track and the officials proceed
ed to closely inspect the coDpany's
property here. A visit was paid 20 the
Jack son and Newton mills and the needs

stood that MIR. Roberts will pay for the
construction.
In the evening the visitors were tend

Carney attempted to butt in the game.
But Thurman was loaded with grape and
canister for those two smooth bores and
let go with his 3-inch or4tory to such an
extent that he soon silenced the enemies

said was the remark he made about the
oioodthirsty legal iuminary getting his
vicious inclinst,ons from his close asso-
Citations with the Meyers, Haywoods and
others of that class. He said that the

Patterson Richardson s. Hawkins, and
the indictment was Influenced and forced
by the bench Judge Overs sitting at
that time. He said they should have
been started in justice court. and never
have entered the district court at all He
caustica!ly reviewed the attempts of
Judge Overs 10 depose the action of the
mine owners and Others under indict-
nient probably saved the persons of the
complainants from greater violence at the
hands of more excl able persons.
Judge De France sustained the motion
for nolle prosequi. holdir that the dis.
trict attorney has full power in the mat
ter under the law in such functions He
cited the decision Of the supreme court
in the case Of the people ex rel the at
torney general. versus the district court
of Lake county and Frank W. Overs,
judge thereof. The supreme court held
that the district attorney has power to
discontinue sny criminal cause without
the consent of the court and that prohibi-
ton lies TO restrain a district court from
trying a criminal cause after the district
attorney has entered nolie proseqni
therein.
This was in the case Of three men in
dIcted by the grand jury on the charge
OF murder growing out Of the labor
troubles in Leadvilie, and wherein the
district attorney held the court was pre-
JUDGED and the defesdents could not
get fair and impartial trial. Judge
Overs denied the motion for change OF
venue and the district attorney entered a
nolle prosequi. but Judge Overs decided
TO proceed with the cases. The supreme
court then issued writ Of prohibition
against Overs.
And thus endeth the chapter.

High School Bulletin.
Edited by Members ofthe
2eyuoldsyille tjjQh School

Friday, Jan. Is, In the presence OF
about fifty guests, the High School
gave one Of the most interesting pro-
grams Of the year in the form Of mock
trial.
DeMaris Ridgeway, plaintiff, brought
suit against Frank Strouse, defendant,
for breach of promise, asking $4,000
damages. The lawyers were Clyde
Murray for plaintiff and John Coleman
for defendant. Anna Klahr, Ethel
Kunes and Lawson Reed supported Miss
Ridgeway and Geneva Milliren, Cora
McCreight and Carl Kirk gave their
testimony in favor of the defendant.
After the testimony Of the witnesses
and long and stubborn examination
by the lawyers the case was left with
the jury. After about thirty minutes
deliberation the verdict was announced
In favor of plaintiff, placing OF $4,000
and costs on defendant. The court
then adjourned.
Miss Nulu Neale has returned to the
Senior class to take postgraduate

The Seniors are all glad to welcome

In view of the fact that the North so
recently shed its blood to free the negro,
it is interesting to read the opinion Of
Prof William James, a prominent East
ern educator, on the future of the two
races in America. Recently in the
Springfield Mass Republican he wrote
"Three years ago / predicted that at no
distant time we should have civil war
between the races. To-day I unhesi-
tatingly stand by my prophecy. In a
very few years, unless some special
legislation is enacted, we shall have
negro burnings on Boston Common. In
the South negro lynching is already a
permitted exception in the midst of our
civilization. Not long since prominent
New York newspapers editorially spoke
Of lynchings as excusable. Everywhere
we find educated men and women max
ing light OF the baseness as being after all
only rude sort OF justice, just as Chris
tians OF the Middle Ages continually
killed and prosecuted the Jews with the
mistaken idea of honoring the Saviour"
The writer may be mistaken in his
views, but coming as it does not from
a sensational demagogue but from a
conservative educator, it shows the
trend of thought even in the north.

A newspaper correspondent writing

Paper, which was then published by
Laumer & Black, in the issue OF April
5, 1888, made this statement About
six months ago the forests OF pine and
hemlock for miles north of this place
were unknown 10 the shrill whistle and
heavy tread OF the iron steed and in
their midst naught was heard save the
caroling of birds or the distant bark of
Reynard, lulled by the plaintive MUIR
muir OF the midnight music made by the
cooling zephyrs among those stately
pines-but all very suddenly the sound
OF falling trees, accompanied by echoes
of the woodman's AK was heard, until a
great opening was made for miles-the
earth was heaved up, rocks were rent
assunder and the iron monster now goes
painting and neighing through the
forests, around the hills and over the
valleys, crossing streams and deep
ravines with perfect ease. How wonder
ful are the works Of man and yet how
Insignificant when compared to the
works OF nature"
