lndependsnt Officials Clash,

The officers of the Ind pendent Mining
company. of this county, have become in.
volved i'll what promises to resul, IN end.
less expensive litigation, and while it is
not though the property itself will suffer
IN consequence, an outsi Ter cannot dis
cover wherein any of the parties to the
controversy can reap material benefit.
1t Is not the purpose of this paper to
delve into the intricate maize of charges
aud counter charges, but as a news Item
an attempt will be made to give publicity
to the matters that have come to liz hit
from both sides of the affair.
The first intimaton of internal troubles
IN this company Came with the announce
ment last Saturday that John Larson,
treasurer, had been charged with the em-
be zziing of IS. 900, the charge being pre-
ferred by Jas. w. Martin, of Joliet, H.,
president of the company, who came to
Colorado armed with requisi,ion papers
addressed to Governor Mcdonald asking
that Larson be returned 10 II ino,s for
trial. A hearing on this application came
up before Governor Mcdonald last Mon
day morning in Denver, and exradition
was refused by the executive by ,he ad-
vice OF the attorney general owing to
legal technicalities.
The day following. the scene shifted to
this city where Larson brought suit in
the district court against President Martin
Tor the sum Of $40, 500, the burden of the
complaint being slander, hbel-aud malic.
ious pross cution. and asked that execu-
tion be issued against Martin and that he
be placed in jail until the judgment be
satisfied.
On Thursday the special meeting of
the company was held i'll this city at
which time no discussion OF financial
problems was had, the meeting being
confued to the amendment of the by laws.
Mr.. Martin states that it is his inten-
ton to prove every allegation he has made
IN regard to LaIson's misappropriation
of funds. in the proper judicial tribunal,
while Mr.. Larson asserts that be will not
only prosecute his case against Mr.. Mar.
tin. but will sbundantly vindicate himself
BY giving q clear aud concise account OF
his Stewardship, which will be found most
satisfactory to every stockholder who has
. dollar invested iu the company.
1t il to be hoped that the controversy
will be settled without further recourse
to the courts. and it is q source of much
satisfaction to the community at large
that the controversy has % far not inter
fered with the operation Of this valuable
property, and that production continues
with excellent returns.

come down town. Early Wednesday
morning he was seized by convulsions,
and both Doctors Atcheson and Fraser,

bis death, He stood foremost ia the
ranks OF his professionrand personally
was held in high esteem by his associates.

interests of those by whom he was en-
gagged, he had before him a successful
career.
Mr.. Ventress was an active me ember OF
the Knights Of Py,h;as, Woodmen of the
World and B. P. o. Elks lodges, and in
the latter organization he was the Exalt-
ed Ruler. A little over year ago he

There are many people who have
gains in the back and imagine that
their kidneys are affected, while their
only trouble is rheumatism Of the mus
cles, which can be cured by few ap-
plications of Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
or by dampening a piece Of flannel with
the Pain Balm and binding 1t over the
effected parts. A pain in the side of
chest should be treated in the same
manner and prompt relief is sure to
follow. For sale by all dealers. Ben
