Postponement That Failed.

!
Wayne Mac Weigh, at a ban
quet of lawyers, said of forensic
speaking:
"Venal barristers, to move the
court and to attain their ends,
will sometimes depart a little
from the truth. To do that is
often profitable; it is never par
donable, and now and then it is
disastrous.
"There was u Philadelphia
lawyer who had charge of an inn
portant case. Postponement, in
this case, was the tactics that
the man had thought best to
adopt and three postponements
in three months had already
been obtained by him. Now the
case was up again, and another
postponement was most neces-
sary. But how to get it was the
question.
"For a long, long time the
lawyer cast about for good
ground for postponemefit. All
real grounds had long since been
exhausted, and it was necessary
for him to employ a fictitious
one. He found a fictitious one
finally, and when his case was
called he rose with a grave face
to lay it before the court.

this Uncle George caught his

they do not know how to use it.

Is not a man child better than
a young tree and mature man
more to be considered than a
fruit laden orchard? And yet
with what impotence we follow
the slow Development of the
child, and how we worry over
the product of the man. Can
we not let nature teach us digni-
ty and self restraint and common
sense. If our children are peach
trees is it not madness to try to
develop them into apple trees
because, forsooth, apples bring
more than peaches in the neigh
boring market or are more use
full for home consumption? Can
we not wait for the limbs to
grow and leaves to form and the
buds to unfold in slow and per-
feet lovliness, without restless
thrusting of our fingers in the
heart of the buds to hasten their
development? Shall not the
children Of men enjoy the sun
shine, the soft air, the long days
of silent growth that seem days
of idleness to the careless observ-
er? Quiet communion with ma
ture, wild romps with the sum-
mer winds, the glory of gay
morning, the radiance of even
tide, the mysterious quiet of
the sustenance of earth-seeking
roots, the refreshment of heaven
aspiring hearts, are the rightful
heritage of the children Of men.
Without haste and without rest
nature fares onward in reveren-
tial gladness. The unnecessary
effort, the courage and faith of
ksthe frailest of natures flowers
are worthy of the imitation of
man. The sun shines and the
fragile anemone pushes up with
the gallant boldness of a soldier.

cruel winds lash the trees, but

hension apparent in the communica-
ton that the government would not re-
ceive all that was due it from the ex-
position company.

Denver, COL, June IA reign of ter
ror, brought on by diabolical dynamit-

sault upon the militia, exists in the Grip
pie Creek mining district. Armed men
throng the streets, and conflicts are of
hourly occurrence. Militiamen are
marching hither and thither, making ar

Attack on Miners Hall.
Later a company of military was
marching past union headquarters pur-
suing their search for union miners,
they were fired upon, according to re-
ports, from armed men concealed in
union hall. The soldiers stormed the
building and from last accounts at least
four unionists were shot and wounded.
The remainder fled, precipitately, blood
streaming from the wounds of the
injured. The soldiers, who were unhurt
pursued and arrested a number of the

WANTS GRAY FOR LEADER,
Delaware Democracy to Present His
Name for the Presidential
Nomination.

Dovel, Del, June S.-Contrary to the
expressed wish Of Judge George Gray,
the Delaware democratic state conven-
ton by unanimous vote on Tuesday
instructed its delegates to the st. Louis
convention to present the name Of
Judge Gray to the convention as the
choice of the Delaware democracy for
president and to work for his nomina-
ton. This action was taken after one
OF the most stormy conventions ever
held in the state. The leader of the
opposition to the Gray resolution was
former United States Senator Richard
II. kenney, who was opposed to the
word instruct" He offered resolu-
ton that the delegates be requested"
to place Judge Gray's name before the
national convention.
The fight between the Gray and the
anti-Gray factions became so bitter
that the former paid no attention to
Judge Gray's letter. in which he asked
that the delegates be not instructed.
They fought to defeat Kenney and
would not listen to anything that his
supporters offered.
Judge Gray knew nothing of the ac-
ton of the convention until informed
by reporters. In reply to a question
as to whether the action of the conven-
ton would change his attitude, he
said: II have not changed my atti-
tude at all. am not candidate for

and later were picked up still quiver-
ing. Some of the bodies dropped into
the pit made by the explosion, but
heads, hands, ears, legs, arms and
trunks were strewn about on all sides.
Pieces of flesh were found on buildings
500 feet away and everything within
a radius of so feet was stained with
blood. The force Of the explosion was
felt throughout the camp and the crash
awakened everybody.
Relief Work.
The approaching train was stopped
and the train crew were the first men
to reach the scene of the disaster.
They were joined in few minutes by
hundreds of persons and relief work
was begun at once. A special train
was sent from Cripple Creek, carrying
physicians, nurses, officers and many
others, but when it reached Independ-
ence, the injured had already been
placed on board the suburban train
and removed to the hospital in Victor.
The mangled bodies of the dead, pieced
together as we'll as possible, were re-
moved to the coroner's Office.
The Victims.
Following is the list of the dead:
Gus Augustine, aged Is, has brother
living in GAINESVILLE. Wis; Arthur Muh-

The Internal Machine.
The Internal machine with which the
diabolical work was done consisted Of q
quantity of dynamite, estimated at 100
to 800 pounds, loaded revolver and q
long, slender steel wire attached to the
trigger. The revolver was fastened so
that the pulling Of the trigger would not
draw it away. The wire ran under the
station to the cribbing of the Delmonico
property, about 400 feet away, where its
end was fastened to rung OF chair.
The dynamite was placed close to the
muZzle of the revolver which was dis
charged by pulling the wire when the
engineer blew his whistle. The ball
from the revolver exploded the dyna-
mite The internal machine was similar
to the one exploded in the Vindicator
mine on November 81, 1903, killing two
men,
