pressure" for the removal of the Army
Of the Potomac from the Peninsula.
Among the strongest in urging this meas
ure was Gen. Pope, who, as soon as the in
telligence of McClellanTs retreat to the
James River was received, began to play
upon the fears Of the Administration
touching the safety of Washington. To
the President he expressed the opinion that
McClellan's supplies would certainly be
cut off;@ pointed out that cooperation
between the Army Of Virginia and the
Army Of the Potomac, in their then stu
ations, was next to impossible; and
strongly urged the recall of McClellan's
force to the front of Washington.(6

This did little damage, however, and on
the following morning Gen. Mcclellan
threw force across the river, seized the

was never troubled more. But little did
the Confederate commander dream, when
he was thus labOring to cause Mcclellan
to withdraw, that the General-in- Chief OF
the United States Army was cooperating
to the same end. Moreover, it happened
that, while Gen. Halleck was willing to
remove the army from the Peninsula be-
fore Lee made any effort with the same
view, a certain measure taken by the Con-
federate commander with an entirely diff

PoPE's ADVANCE.
Upon assuming command of the Army
of Virginia, Gen. Pope, whose military
conduct was considerably sounder than
his military principles, had concentrated
his scattered commands into one body in
front Of Washington, and thrown 1t for
ward along the line Of the Orange & Alex
ardria Railroad, in the direction Of Cor
louisville and Charlottesville. His force
numbered near $4,000 men. As the sci
zure of the points named would tap the
Confederate communications with South
western Virginia, Lee, to meet Popes ad-
vance, sent forward Gen. jackson, with
his own and Ewelrs Divisions, towards
Gordonsville. Jackson reached that place
on the 10Th Of July; but from what he
learned Of Pope's strength he feared to

Oil at DeBeque

a committee representing the stock
holders of the Western Slope Oil Com
pany of Grand Junction composed Of
George Curry, Harvey Bucklin and
Frank Lee, was in Debeque Wednes-
day. They were taken to the wells of
The Debeque Oil and Development
Company and shown over the premises
by Manager Swan and taken to the
site of the Garfield Syndicate we'll,
several miles further up Roam creek,
by Captain Canfield. On their return
from the Debeque Company wells,
where only well No. ? is pumping at
the present time, the committee ex-
pressed itself as being more than
pleased at the showing of oil as a re-
suit of the pumping. The Western
Slope Company has already invested
of the Debeque company and they
have been looking over the field with
a view of making further investments
On leaving the De5eque Company

You people have got oil in these wells
now and lots of it. Something that
! never knew for sure before.
Although pumping Well No. , only
at the wells of The Debeque O, Il D.
Co. the past week, it is not too much
to say that one well is producing oil

Isaac Not Guilty.

In the district court Tuesday after
noon the trial of William Isaac,
charged with the murder of Robert
A. Poage at New Castle Ocotber %,
was started. The jury panel was eX-
hausted before the necessary twelve
men were secured and new venire
ordered and the trial was adjourned
until 10 o clock Wednesday morning
when the jury was completed Only
two witnesses were called by the pros
ecutiOn. George Pearson, the con
stable who arrested Isaac, testified
that he saw the entire affair and was
first at Poage's side when he fell
wounded by the shots from Isaac 5
gun. Pap Stout postmaster at
New Castle, testified that he, also.
was first at the shooting and that
Pearson was the third one there He
also stated that Isaac did not fall into
the gutter when struck in the face by
Poage, but stumbled and came near
falling. This was contrary to Pear
SOn statement AS ne sdlu Isaac 1tll
to the ground across the gutter and
when he arose he was shooting at
Poage. Both testified that five shots
were fired at Poage. According to
Pearson, Poage did not fall until the
five shots had been fired while Stout
claimed that he fell before the last
shot.
The principal fact that was brought
out in the cross examination was that
Poage was not seen by either witness
to draw a gun, but that he had one
in his hand when he fell. The wit
nesses claimed they saw the whole
affair after the men had left the side
walk and that it would have been
impossible for Poage to have drawn a
gun without the act being seen by
both Pearson and Stout, the conclu-
sion being evident that Poage had
the gun in mis- hand when the trouble
first started and that Isaac acted in
self defense when he began shooting
The court at noon took a recess and
upon re assembling, District Attorney
Gray asked Judge Shumate to instruct
the jury to render a verdict of not
guilty without leaving their seats.
This was done and Isaac was dis
charged.

Special Election Called

The town council held its regular
monthly meeting last Monday eve
ming. Aside from accepting the regu-
lar monthly reports of officers and
allowing the usual grist of bills, the
light and water question took up
almost the entire time of the board.
A proposition was received from
Mr. Lyle of the Glenwood Light &
Water company, offering the town a
20 per cent reduction on all light
rates, other than municipal, and a
further reduction of five per cent from
present prices at the beginning of the
new franchise which the town was
asked to grant. The proposition also
offers reduction on lights of from 20
to 33 l-3 per cent, depending ON the
quantity used by consumers. The
company asks for an extension of the
present franchise with the amended
rates and a contract for municipal
water during the life of the franchise
and for lights for five years.
The trustees discussed the various
phases of the question and in view of
what seemed to them to be Il fair and
reasonable reduction in rates agreed
to recommend the proposition to the
taxpayers of the town by submitting
the question to the qualified electors,
to be voted upon in January.
The matter now resolves itself into
IA question as to whether the people
desire reduction in rates of light
and water, which many of us claimed
were too high, or whether they will
prefer to continue paying the presen.
prices. They will have chance to
be heard on the subject next month.

A most enjoyable occasion was that

indictments QudShed

The Indictment against Perry C.
Coryell was nolled by District Attor-
ney GRAY Thursday afternoon because
of lack of convIctiGg evidence. \
protest was entered by Attorneys Kerr
and Campbell. of Pueblo, who were
sent here by John Mitchell to defend
William Isaac and TO prosecute
Coryeil on the charge of assaulting
Jack Lawson last summer. These
gentlemen hinted strongly that undue
influences had been used to secure
the quashing of the Indictment and
stated that the channels of justice
We're being clogged by this action.
Judge Gray stated that he knew the
evidence in his possession which was
insufficient to convict and he didn't
wish to make great expense on
hopeless case. The assault cases
against Frank QuinIan and Joe La
Branch We're also nolled for like
reason.

JURY ACQUITTED
FRANK BOYLE
Boyle Was Charged with the hur-
der of Pearl B. Allen at the
= Polo Grounds Last
September
BOTH WERE COLORED TROOPERS

Frank Boyle is again free man,
the jury having declared him not
guilty of the murder of Pearl b, Allen
at the polo grounds last September.
The jury returned its verdict at II 30
Wednesday morning after being ont
all night. The case was given to the
jury Tuesday night at $50 and at
o clock the following morning the
jury came in for instructions which
We're given by Judge Shumate.
The trial began Monday with John
L. Noonan attorney for Boyle, having
been appointed to act in that capacity
by the court, and District Attorney
Gray for the people After the testi-
mony of several witnesses, Boyle was
put on the stand to testify in his own
behalf and his story, which was a
long one, giving every detail in the
events leading up to the killing of
Allen, was mistaken by the cross ex-
animation and was corroborated to a
considerable extent by other witnesses
Testimony was adduced showing
that Allen had made threats at differ
ent times during the few days preced-
ing the shooting and that he was of a
quarrelsome disposition.
Both Boyle and Allen were colured
troopers belonging to the Tenth Cav
airy and were on duty here in attend
ance on the polo team from Fort Rob
inson, Nebraska. Boyle was the
sergeant in command of the detail
and Allen was under him. Allen,
according to the testimony had lost
some money ON a horse race which
took place at the polo grounds between
cavalry horse, ridden by Boyle, and
a local horse in which the former was
beaten. Allen accused Boyle of
throwing the race and the trouble that
followed resulted in Boyle shooting
and killing Allen. There had bean
bad blood between the two men pre-
vious to this and Boyle had reported
Allen to his superior officer for insuh-
ordination.
The principal witness was Harry
Cessney, also colored trooper who
came from Fort Robinson to testify.
Boyle and Cessney both left Wednes-
day for Fort Robinson.
The jury selected was composed of
d. W. Smart, Sam Geigle, T. W.
Thomas W. J Carpenter G. w.
Wightman, q. q Barthell, l.. d.
Hudson. l. Card r w. McGuirk, j.

Ten Indictments That is the rec
ord of the grand Jury which complet-
ed its three weeks session last Satur-
day evening and was dismissed by
Judge Shumate.
A multitude of witnesses appeared
before the grand jury and that body
thoroughly sifted the evidence pre-
sented and while there were great
many complaints on various charges,
some little technicaluty in many in
an indictment
1t was generally believed that the
principal work for the grand jury
would be an investigation of the New
Castle dynamiting by which the
homes of five miners We're blown up
some months ago, and also the alleged
violation of the law in regard to sa-
looms and gambling. While a great
deal of testimony was offered on these
two questions, it was not sufficient to
warrant true bill in either case
The New Castle explosion still re
mains a mystery While there were
those before this investigation was
held who openly asserted that they
knew just who did the terrible deed
and would prove it if given an oppor
tunity, the opportunity has been Civ

the wrecked houses declared that il

the time of the explosion and escape

rise to suspicion that possibly the
miners themselves have been the gull.
ty ones and that perhaps the deed had
teen done for sympathetic effect 1t
is said that this theory was completely
exploded by the Investigations made
by the grand jury and also that those
who would fix the guilt on certain
party likewise made an absolute fail
ure of the attempt and thus the case
remains as much "A mystery as ever.
The case on which William Card
nell. county clerk was indicted is
said to have been only one of several
cases urged against that official hat
in some cases the statutes are not
plain or else no penalty is provided
and therefore indictment would have
been almost useless. The charge or
which Mr.. Cardnell was indicted was
his defiance of the law which positive
ly provides that when there is IA daily
paper printed in the county, the coun,
| ty clerk must publish the list of off
cial nominations in such daily paper.
This is contention of Mr.. Holmes.
of the Avalanche, who insisted ON the
publication in his paper, but Cardnell
not liking the style of the Avalanche
ignored the law and refused him copy
for the publication, contrary, it is
said, to the advice of the county at.

Another case of alleged violation OF
the law by the county clerk was in
the preparation of the semi -annua
financial statement, but inasmuch as
the law requires that this repor
should be promulgated by the county
commissioners and everyone believing
