The withdraw wal of troops from the
Cripple Creek fields is consumma-
tion long desired and there is general
rejoicing throughout the state to know
that the stigma brought by the miners
upon the greatest gold camp on earth
has been removed and that white
winged peace once more holds sway.
The necessity of calling out state
troops is always to be deplored but the
reign of terror started in Cripple
Creek by the anarchlstic element in
the miners union gave Governor Pea
body no alternative Either he must
fulfill the obligations of his oath of
Office and use his best endeavors to
protect life AMI property or prove
false to his trust as others have done
and acknowledge the supremacy of
anarchy. Peabody acted promptly
and intelligently in the interest of
life and property rights and in so do
ing has won the commentator of
lawabiding citizens throughout the
state without regard to party affilia-
tions.

They had a big bonfire down at
Grand Junction few days ago. A
raid was made on the gambling houses
and Judge Sullivan ordered that all
of the paraphernalia rounded up
should be burned. The sheriff piled
the stuff up in the rear of the court
house and touched a match in the
presence of many of the county off
cials, lawyers and other citizens to
many of whom the Sentinel says the
flames as they licked up the brightly
colored figures on the roulette tables
must have awakened memories of the
cartwheels and five and ten sinners

Up Against the State Game
Department

Some time ago Game Warden Hig-
gins of Grand Junction found some
parties in the Plateau valley in pos
session of live deer which he con
tiscated and prepared to ship to the
game department when the parties
turned the tables on him by placing
him under arrest on the same charge.
Now Commissioner Woodland of Den
yer proposes to prosecute the guilty
parties for having deer in their pos
session contrary to law and for inter
fering with and resisting an officer.
District Attorney McMullin has writ
ten as follows to the Plateau ranch
men responsible for the trouble:
"Mr. Sternberg tells me that those
who were interested in prosecuting
Mr.. higgins were emphatic in their
protests that they acted from best
motives and wanted that taken into
consideration. I do not know who ad
vised them that they had any ground
to prosecute Mr.. Higgins. | am salts
fed that no one VINO knows anything
about law would advise you gentlemen
to make yourselves so liable to prose
cution as you have done. We make
game laws in this state to be enforced
and we appoint game wardens not
only to enforce them but to have the
CO. operation of lawabiding citizens
a md NOT tn hp mobhad
l regret very much that this is the
second serious case which mas arisen
which shows an utter disregard of the
game laws by the people of your sec
ton. | trust that the game depart
ment, who have absolute control OF
these matters, even to the extent of
giving the district attorney direc-
tions, will be so charitable as to be
lieve that you gentlemen acted under
what you believed to be the proper ad
vice. Although ignorance of the law
excuses no man. yet, the handling OF
this matter rests entirely with the
State Game department who can OF
can not be forbearing as they see fit.

Whatever juggling the East may
engage in to deprive our beloved pres

The action of Governor Bailey of

Fire last week destroyed the north

believes the better policy is to carry
Its own insurance. and the loss on the
building therefore is total

fore it was checked. It started about
10 o'clock a. m. At noon it was

The flames, however, were confined to
the wing of the capitol in which they
originated, and by s o'clock were ex-
tinguished
The executive council of the state
held brief session and announced
that the converting of the legislature
would not be postponed.
The fire department was unable to
fight the flames effectively, as the
height of the building and elevation Of
the capitol site reduced the pressure.
The only thing possible was to cut off
the progress of the flames The gal
lery OF the house chamber fell with a
crash. and portions Of the debris
slightly injured two firemen and en-
dangered the lives Of several
