SEEKS TO
PROVE AN ALiBl

l.. W. Allen, an attorney OF Tel
with the Turkey Creek placer con
test, called at the Herald office last
evening to look over the files In rela-
ton to the case OF Jesse W. Shields.
who is in jail in Telluride charged
with completely in the murder of Ar.
thur l.. Collins and Shift Boss Barney.
Mr.. Allen had received request
from parties at Telluride to look over
the files of Durango papers OF May 25
of last year for an account of an acci-
dent which Shields claimed befell him
here on that date.
Shields is said to have confessed to
parties on that date in Silverton that
he knew who the murderer of Collins
was, and knew who was responsible
for the disappearance OF Barney. Ac-
cording to the advices received by
Mr.. Allen, Shields claims he was in
Durango at the time that he Is said
to have made the confession, and says
he had an accident and that all the
Durango papers had accounts of the
same. He hoped to prove an alibi in
this way. A search of the files in this
office failed to corroborate the state
ments of Mr. Shields.
Mr.. Allen returned to Telluride this
morning.
Shields stoutly denies that he ever
confessed to anybody that he assisted
In the burial of Barney. or that he
knows anything about the murderers
of Collins.
Shields was arrested a few days ago
while working on the Silverton North
ern railroad. Two Denver detective
agencies had been working on the
case long time.
Inquiry at the other newspaper Of
fees failed to find the alleged accident
chronicled. A phone message from
Telluride states that Shields hearing
has been postponed week or ten
days.

Mind you, Colorado labor troubles
were not brought about owing to long
hours and starvation wages. Eight
hours and top-notch wages were In
vogue in the mines of Cripple Creek
and San Miguel. But few agitators
of the Meyer stripe wanted to show
their authority and power-that of be-
coming abject slaves or making 1t pos
sible for decency to prevail And Gov.
Peabody was equal to the occasion.
True, 1t Is possible extremes have
been resorted to on this side, but no
more so than the tactics adopted by
the leaders of the Western Fedora
tion. 1t is possible honest. Industrious
men have been deported and left
without home. But why was not this
taken into consideration by st. John
and his men when they stormed the
Smuggler-Union, shooting down non
unlonists and then running them over
the range in bare feet at the point OF
bayonets. 1t must be remembered
who started the deportation move
ment. Certainly not Governor Pea

TEACHERS TRAINING CLASS.

The second meeting Of the teachers
training class was held yesterday fore
noon in the Office of Miss Edith 3. NJ.
Young. The attendance was the same
as the previous meeting.
Arithmetic in general way was
taken up. The method of recitation
was dwelt upon, and special atten-
ton was given to the five steps, con-
sisting of preparation, presentation,
comparison, generalization and appli-
cation. 1t was pointed out that in ed
ucation. as well as in practical life,
too many cover the first four of these
steps, but never apply the fifth. In
short. this means that you must more
than fill the position you have before
you can take higher one.
The necessity OF using system was
dwelt upon, and it was explained that
normal school or normal methods
meant simply a straight line to the
object sought.
The young ladies were told that the
amount of work to be done in a term
should be carefully outlined, and that
little book with the program of each
days work would be a good thing to
have.
The great Importance of thorough
ness in their work was another thing
duly impressed upon them. Attention
was called to the fact that so many
business men complain of the lack of
thoroughness on the part of employees,
whose incompetency can be attrab-
uted to lack of thoroughness while
attending school.
Special attention was devoted to
practical work in teaching, and help
full ideas were advanced, particularly
for the first two or three weeks of the
teachers work.
