that the ranger service is costing the tax payers of the territory S60.- OOO per year. If this statement k correct, it is lot of money to pay
 for a very inefficient service. Until
 within the last few months the ERA
 has always been an advocate of the ranger service, but it is now con vinCcd that this section, at least
 would be better oil without them
 There has been much complaint
 from COchiSc, and other counties. during the last few years of the in efficient, mcddlesomc and even vi ciouS conduct of the rangers. The
 ERA has heretofore maintained that
 the local officers were doubtless ds responsible for this condition of af- fairs as were the rangers, but their actions in this town during the past
 three months have caused it to change it's opinion of their methods of doing business. In January, when the hi" flood was on. with the town under water and from scvcnty-five
 to one hundred houses washed away or in ruins, they arrested MeXieans
 bv the score for being drunk. Some were arrested for theft, and. de served it. They offered to turn the
 prisoner, over to the deputy sheriff. who refused to receive them be cause the jail had been flooded. and this augmented the friction which previously existed between the local officers and rangers which came near terminating seriously at that time. When the cases were called the district attorney dismissed all of them but one. During the past week there has been another striking illustration of their lack of judgment by the sensational arrest of Deputy Shcrih Lee Hobbs for q crime committed on board q sailing vessel six thousand miles from San Francisco. Almost every citizen of the east end of this county knows that Mir. Hobbs has not been out of the JOuntv for many years, except
 four weeks spent in the northern part
 of the territory in the first two months of 1909. The crime for which he was arrested was committed in September of that year. and he can prove by several hundred people that he was in this county Ut that time.
 The charge k so utterly absurd as to bring ridiculc upon the rangers
 I.- l..
 The treatment accorded Mir. Hobbs after his arrest was what might have been expected in Russia, but it was not in harmony with the civilization of the present time in America. He was practically kept incommunicado. ,aud was not even given the privi- lcgc of taking change of .Clothing with him. If this iS a sample of the work done hy rangers in other parts of the Territory, then it is no wonder hat there have been so many com 'plaints against the service. The most unfortunate feature of the buS- ness k that this arrest has aroused a lEtllnH or resentment among the local officers, which may culminate in serious trouble at any time. There has been no necessity for rangers here since the riots of nearly two years ago. when they were asked for and did good service. The rangers are well enough for the service for which they were created. but they are not needed in Clifton. Their place is on the range and in sparsely officers. For the sake of the peace of this community it k to bc hoped that Governor kibbey will find em- plovmcut for them outside of Ora ham county.

telegram was received from Phoenix Monday night conveying the information that the murder was committed September ?, 1902. Ac- cording to the files of the ERA on August 2S, 1902, Lee Hobbs came to Clifton from the Parks ranch at Ash Peak, where he was then engaged in sinking wells. On September 1lth of the same year the ERA mentioned the capture of a gang of thieves who drove horses from the Parks ranch.

| letters from him during his absence. one instructing that his paper be changed from Clifton to Holbrook and the second to have it changed to Prescott. Letters and telegrams continually passed to and from him during his absence, and his where abouts was known at all times These are facts familiar to almost all the people here, and if the rang CTS, who worked up this case and have taken pains to herald it all over the territory, did not know them. they are certainly unfit for the re- responsibilities they have assumed.
 They have been the means of bringing on friction here, which if allowed to continue further will most likely result in d serious conflict. which would be disgrace to the ter ritory, and precipitate a state of af- fairs not easily overcome.
 The ranger force, if properly handled, is all right for the purposes for which it was originally intended. but, as the ERA has before remarked they are not needed in the larger towns of the territory. In every instance in the towns where they have made headquarters, it is alleged that they have brought on trouble of d serious nature.
 In this instance, in the arrest of man for a crime which he could not possibly have committed, they have made themselves most ridiculous. They have cost the territory in ex- penses probably 5000, and what is still worse they have brought about state of affairs greatly to be regret ed by all good citizens.

If this is sample of the detective work of the ranger force. then it would be well for them to retire from that business at once. Their attempt to connect Lee Hobbs with q murder committed in the Pacific Ocean, when almost every man in Graham county knows that he has not been out of the county for a greater period than five weeks in fourteen years. is proof sufficient that they are totally incompetent for that work, or that their motives are actuated by prejudice with the intent of widening the breech be- tween their service and the sheriff and his deputies in this county.
 If several of them did not actually know that Lee Hobbs was not the man wanted they could easily have satisfied themselves of that fact had they taken the trouble to have done so. MT. Hobbs was not a fugitive from justice when he left here. and his whereabouts were well known. The editor of this paper received two

CARES FOR THE POOR
Gentle Ministrations of Little
Greeley Woman

The bringing into court of Matilda
Bowman a few days ago to be tried
for insanity brought forcibly to the
attention of large number Of per-
sons about the court house the gentle
patience of woman who is doing a
great deal in this county to make the
lot of the poor and unfortunate a
little easier. She is Mrs. John
Knutson, wife of the superintendent
of the Weld county hospital.
Mrs. Bowman was in the hospital
several days before brought before
the county court. The morning that
she was to be tried an officer was
sent to the hospital for her with a
buggy. The patient was in raving
state and the officer could do nothing
with her, unless he would resort to
force. With gentle soothing words
and caresses Mrs. knutson finally in
duced the woman to go along aud
they reached the court house. Here
the patient threw herself down upon
the floor and fairly shrieked. She
was carried into the sheriff's office
by two men, where Mrs. Knutson
again quieted her until a jury could
decide the case.
This was one of hundreds of cases,
similar or even more aggravated,
with which the little woman has to
deal in the course of her work.
What P. A. Tisdel is doing for the
poor outside of the hospital, Mrs.
Knutson is doing after the unfortu-
mates reach that place.
The people of this community can
not be too thankful and generous
with these two people. 1t takes a
gentle nature to look after those
who cannot look after themselves.
Very few people will do this. They
are more apt to look upon such
people as membranes upon the
earth, and shut their eyes against
them. OF course this is the wrong
principle but as long as it is practice
the results are the same.
When then, IN rare cases, person
Is found who will devote his life to
the care of the unfortunates too
much credit cannot be given that
individual.

SAME OLD TROUBLE
Old Salary Reduction Cases Com
ing up Again

Weld county as we'll as other
counties Of the state are up against
the possibility of having to dig up
anywhere from sl2, 900 to $50, 600,
according to the grade of the county.
The trouble really comes from
county officials in the southern part
of the county and is over the old
fight for parts of salaries reduced by
the law of 1899. This law reduced
the salaries of district court clerks.
county judges, treasurers, clerks and
assessors, anywhere from 5000 to $500
a year. The amount Of this reduc-
tion has been paid into the county
treasury under protest by most of
these officials ever since.
Shortly after the law was passed a
test case was tried of the law in
Pueblo county before Judge Dixon.
He declared the law was unconstltu-
tional, but an appeal to the supreme
court reversed this decision. Lately
the disgruntled : office holders and
others who have long ago gone out of
Office have been granted rehearing
of the case before the supreme court,
and arguments are to come up again
shortly.
The county commissioners Of the
various counties are now trying to
get. together and agree upon some re-
liable attorney to represent the
counties before the supreme court.
Should the law be declared un-
constitutional Weld county will
have to dig up about $4,000 to its
officers for back salaries.

GOOD NEWS.

prompt relief is within their reach.
Many lame weak, and aching back
Is bad no more. thanks to Doan's
Kidney Pills. Our citizens are tell
ing the good news of their experience
with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here
is an example worth reading:
]. w. Miller, stone mason, of IT'S
Laporte avende, Fort Collins, Colo,
says: 'If l were asked by any citi-
zen of Fort Collins suffering from
kidney complaint or backache, what
to do to get relief. I would unhesi-
tatingly say, use Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me Of attacks
which had been unable to check,
let alone stop. Now, when a man
has doctored, taken bottle after
bottle of medicine which did no good
and he finally drops in to one that
has given him absolute faith, he
naturally becomes enthusiastic about
1t. The first few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills took convinced me of
their curative powers and the way
they cleaned out the kidneys was re-
markable. When l finished the box
l went back for a second and told
the druggist that he need never be
afraid to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills, for they did exactly what is
claimed for them. l will recon-
mend them under all circumstances
to all sufferers from their kidneys"
just such emphatic endorsement
can be had right here in Greeley.

MUST CHANGE PLANS
OF SENATE OFFICE

Washington, d. c., Oct. 6.-The
in charge of the new Of
flee building, which is to be erected
for the senate, met today to consider
the changes in the plans made neces-
sary to bring the cost Of the building
within the limits of the appropriation
for il. The situation concerning the
building is rather peculiar. If the most
expensive building materials be used,
the great structure cannot be built for
the sum of S2,250,O00, appropriated for
the purpose. Now, the original plans
provided that the east section of the
building should be left out, but this
would necessitate the closing up Of
the building in the future, which would
cause considerable additional eX-
pense. 1t would be a makeshift, how
ever, and would make it possible to
use some cheaper building stone for
the walls of the court and thus keep
down the expenses. The architects
will submit a number of plans and
propositions, so changing the orig
inal plans as to bring the cost Of the
structure within the limits of the ap-
preparation.
