about this hour
Major Naylor asked Glover to open
the door, but this was positively re-
fused. The officers then started to
string rODpa acrosS the twp doors of
his two offices. but on the first indca-
tion that at attack was being made to
break in there was a shot fired from
inside by Glover. and he missed Ser
geant Smith only by a few inches.
Both Sergeants Ditmore and Smith
then opened fire and the shots were
answered by Glover, who shot at least
another time, this time through the
glass window. Then there was a fusil-
lade by Sergeants Ditmore and Smith,

cause of his alleged failure to admin
lister the estate according to law, and
to compel him to repay to the estate
all sums of money which he may have
appropriated to his own use.
The case Is in the Court of Appeals

WYOMING FIGHTS
FOR HER RESERVES

Meeteetse, Wyo., Dec. 29.-The ini
tial meeting of what is intended to be
.one of the strongest protests ever
made by an indignant people was held
here Sunday. 1t was a mass meeting
called to inaugurate general protest
from the people of Wyoming, Mon
tana and Utah over the proposed in.
corporation of the Yellowstone and TIE.
ton forest reserves into the Yellow.
stone National Park, as recommended
to Congress by the secretary of the in

18th. The recommendation Of the sec
retary of the interior contemplates
annexing to the national park nearly
5000 square miles in Wyomir :, thirty
square miles in Idaho, and 260 square

,borate this vast tract into the ma
park, subject to the same re-
fions and discipline.
ke meeting was largely attended
a titizens of every class, and some
w. strong speeches were made
against the proposed legislation.
The meeting adopted resolutions de-
nouncing this attempt to incorporate
over 100000 acres into what would
be practically a game reserve; de-
clares the withdrawal of this vast
area from the available ranges would
utterly ruin the live stock industry
of a territory several hundred miles
square; declares the proposed legis-
lation would force settlers who now

MERRY CHRISTrlAS
IN A COURT ROOM

Denver, Dec. 26-One of the most

scene in the room was the most re-
markable in the history of Yuletide
festivities.
Instead of the judicial dignity which
usually pervades the court room, there
was the delightful abandonment Of all
conventionalities. and the place rang
with the laughter and whistling of the
200 healthy yOun ssters, of whom tho
judge has charged himself to make
creditable men. The boys were treat
ed to little vaudeville entertainment
and then were given all kinds of toys
and goodies. also clothing and bright
new half dollar. And Judge Lindsey
was just as much of boy as any of
them.
George Billings sang several solos
which seemed to appeal to the boys
decidedly, as he was applauded very
enthusiastically by them and encored
several times.
Judge Lindsey extends his thanks to
all the newspapers and the merchants
that helped make possible the celebra-
tion in his court yesterday.
The carrying out of that celebration
yesterday was only characteristic of
Judge Lindsey. In his work of boy re-
demption he has originated many ways
Of appealing to the little chaps, and

A Damned Americana Who is he?

IA Damned American! who is he?
Cried Teuton proud. with voice quite
loud,
From the ship that sailed the sea-
And he pointed DER there
To- sail very fair
That floated the flag of the Brave and the
Free"
"A Damned American! who is hep
Said Briton in rage,
Like blast in a cage,
AS our vessel sailed by him so merrily,
And he cursed and swOre
The more and more
AS we left him as easy as easy can be.
"A Damned American! who is hep"
A Russian exclaimed,
While his eyes fairly famed.
And he raved like man on a spree;
He thrashed about with sword and knout
Making peasants and slaves bend the knee.
"a Damned American! who is he?"
A Spaniard would say,
If not for the day
At Manila, and Cuba, when we
Put stop to his pride
And swept from the tide
The flute of the Spanish Grandee.
"A Damned Americana who is he?'
A son of France,
With an ugly glance,
Remarked to the world and to me;
He twirled his moustache
And said we are trash,
And that Europe with him would agree.
Did you know, o, Nations, far over the
wave,
That THE Stars and Stripes are destined
to save
Mankind from distress and from slavery s
heel,
To lift up from woe and make each one
feel
The sense of new power and the sense OF
sweet rest,
That spirit of freedom that swells in the
breast?
Did you know that this nation that started
so small,
Has grown to manhood and is now very
tall,
That "a Damned American! who is he2
Will some day rule both land and sea?
