HABEAS CORPUS
is NOT HoNoRED BY MILITARY
General Bell and Captain Wells Re-
fuse to Produce President Meyer
Before Judge Stevens and are Or
dered to Be Arrested.

dered to Be Arrested.
Denver. April IA Republican
| special from Ouray last night says:
Judge Theron Stevens this morning
| ordered that General Bell and Captain
| Wells be arrested and placed in jail
in Ouray county and that bail be re-
| fused; also that each be required to
pay a fine of $500 and costs.
This action was taken because of
their alleged contempt of court in fail
| ing to produce in court Charles H..
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
| Grafton of Miners, as commanded by
| the writ of habeas corpus issued upon
the petition of Meyer and made re-
| turnable at Ouray to-day.
Attorney General Miller. Assistant
Attorney General Hersey and Deputy
District Attorney T.. c. Howe of Tel
luride appeared for the respondents;
f, General Bell and Captain Bulkeley
Wells and Attorney E. F. Richardson
of Denver represented the petitioner.
Neither the respondents nor the pc
t.tioner, Charles H. Meyer, were pres
ent Judge Stevens and the attorneys
entered the court house few min
utes after o'clock and at once pro.
ceeded to the business in hand. which
had attracted many spectators.
No sooner had court convened than
Attorney Howe made motion to
quash the return of service of the writ
upon General Bell and Captain Wells,
which motion was overruled, Judge
Stevens giving it as his judgment that
there was no condition of insurrection
or rebellion in San Miguel county and
that if such insurrection and rebellion
existed, it was by virtue of the unlaw-
full and unconstitutional usurpation of
power OIL the part of Governor Pea
body and the military authorities.
The judge then arraigned Governor
Peabody and the military. He refused
to permit the filing of the return made
by General Bell and Captain Wells; is.
sued an order of attachment for their
arrest, and assessed fine of $500
against each, together with the costs
of the action.
In his arraignment the judge ex-
pressed regrets that Governor Peabody
was not present in court, as he consid-
cred him equally guilty with General
Bell and Capt. Wells. The attorneys
explained to the judge that Meyer was
in the custody of Governor Peabody, as
the commanding officer of the National
Guard, and that it was not safe for the
military authorities to bring President
Meyer before the court in person.
This raised the ire of the judge and
for a few moments the proceedings
were animated. The proceedings did
not occupy more than an hours time.
and when the decision was announced
1t created no little excitement.
Sheriff Corbett probably will leave
tomorrow morning for Telluride to
serve the writ of attachment upon Cen
eral Bell and Captain Wells. With the
writ served it is the opinion Of attor-
neys that the case will be taken out Of
Judge Stevens hands to the Supreme
Court.
Attorneys Miller and Hersey left
soon after. the decision was given.
Judge Stevens went to Gunnison.
where he will open term of the Dis
trict Court tomorrow morning. Mr..
Miller went to Telluride and Mr.. Her
sey to Denver.

zeNOR AND cox IN HARRISON COUNTY.
The Cox Faction Victors in zenor
Own County.

CoRYDos, IsD., Jan. 2l, 1904
There was stormy session OF the
Democratic central committee here
today and it looked for q while as
though the committee would break
up 10 q row. The meeting was
called for the purpose Of setting the
time for holding the primary elec-
ton and to adopt rvles to govern 1t.
February 18th was fixed as the
time for holding the primary cleo
Ition. Upon motion OF Geo. h.
Gwartney, who ran against Judge
Zenor for Congress two years ago,
resolution was adopted that each
candidate for Congress should be
entitled to the number Of delegates
that his pro rata vote would entitle
him to, and that each candidate
select the delegates to the dis
trict convention who should repre-
sent him. The resolution was Bit
terly fought by the friends OF Judge
Zsnor but was carried by q large
majority. The friends OF Mr.. Cox
regard this as a great victory for
him, as this il Judge Zenor's home
county, and always before Judge
Zenor has secured the adoption OF
the unit rule, whereby he was en-.
titled to the whole county, notwith-
standing, he only secured part OF
the votes.

record was clean. He was honor
able in all things. Fairness was
bis mot o. To little things he
would not stoop. Before jury he
was always a hard hitter. some OF
his fellow attorneys say he is awk-

possesses such awkwardness that
goes with honesty and uprightness

of Abraham Lincoln in his makeup.
HIS FRIENDSHIPS TRUE.
His friendships are true. For q
friend be would make most any
sacrifice. If he tells you he will do
thing he will do it. To him his
word is sacred. This is the reason
Why he is going to make himself
felt in his race for congress.
With the masses OF the people he
is strong. Democratic in his ideas,
lust common like the rest Of US, and
never possessed of that false pride
that kills many public man,
"Lige" Cox has a future.

carried six months license. The

poor penman and never deserved
