in the morning. Charley Ward, Bob
Rohn, Jim Carson and man named
Sexton and two others and crowd of
onlookers hauled McGruder and his
brother out Of the hotel. Rohn made
him dress and hit the trail through
two feet of snow toward ST. Elmo
McGruder did not suffer much, as he
found place to stop short distance
from lineup and came on to Gunni

Apparently that angered friends
and cronies of Williams. In running
him out of town they took away his

Harry RuSSey Set free

Wednesday Harry c. Russey was
given preliminary hearing before
Justice r NJ Hedden on the charge
of stealing six horses belonging to
Walter S. Holmes.
Harold w. Clark of Aspen, assist.
ant district attorney. prosecuted the
case while Judge Dollison defended
Mr.. Russey from the charge Holmes
had made against him.
1t seems that Mrs. Holmes, the di.
vorced wife of the prosecuting wit
ness, had asked Mr.. Russey to care
for the horses which she had secured
through division of the property in
settlement with Mr. Holmes. He
took the hoises he believed Mrs.
Holmes entitled to and drove them to
the lower or winter range. Soon after
this transaction Mrs. Holmes claimed
to have letter from her former hus-
band giving her the rest of the horses
and at Mrs Holmes suggestion Rus
sey d,ove the six horses, or some of
them, to the lower range, but little
later was told by her that MIR. Holmes
had repudiated his former contract
and he had better drive the horses
back, which he did
Holmes had testified that he could
not find the horses in question and
accused Russey of taking possession
of them when he was told by Russey
that if he (Holmes) wanted the horses
he must come after them with an
order of the court or he could not
have them.
Russey admitted this conversation
but stoutly denied that it had refer
ence to any other horses except those
turned over to him by Mrs Holmes
and upon these Russey, at the time Of
the conversation held chattel mort
gage.
Holmes claimed he had hunted the
range over for his six horses but had
not been able to find them, while
Russey said he had often heard of
them on the range and had seen one
OF them every day of late running
loose in the streets of Grand Valley
eating out Of the wagons.
Holmes absolutely failed to estab.
lish Il case and Judge Hedden, after
hearing all the evidence and listening
to the Argument of counsel. dismissed
the case and discharged the prisoner
and thus is the county n,ultched for
over one hundred dollars.

corps under Gen. Steele He then
was sent to Helena. Ark, where he
was when Little Rock was taken.
Sept. 13. 1868. AT Little Rock he was
placed in charge of the prisoners, and
in December of the same year he re.
enlisted.
Discharged from the army. Mr..
Hodges turned his attention once more
TO the pursuits of peace, and studied
law. He was admitted to the bar of
Arkansas, and was active in the work
of reconstruction in that state. His
efficient work at that time and his un-
swerving faithfulness to duty gained
him many enemies, but through it all
he persisted in doing what he believed
to be the right. He was a member of
the Arkansas constitutional conven-
tion in 1868 and did much to aid that
state to get on its feet after the war
He was appointed postmaster at Little
Rock in 1871 by President Grant.
Mr.. Hodges came to Colorado in
1875 settling first in Leadville. Later
he removed to the new town of Glen
wood Springs where he became the
first register of the u. s. land office,
having been appointed by President
Arthur, through the recommendation
of Senator Tom Bowen. Major Ross
was appointed receiver of the new land
office at the same time. Beside sew.
eral terms as county attorney and as
wood Springs, Mr. Hodges was elected
and served one term as county judge.
retiring in 1889 when Judge Noonan
was first elected. He was interested
in several business ventures for the
upbuilding of the town and county.
He built the business block now occu.
peid by the Post printery and the
present residence of K. G. Voorhees,.
Mr.. Hodges was one of the best
known politicians in Colorado, a
staunch republican and loyal friend.
He was for many years member of
the state central committee and was
twice elected chairman of that com
mittee. 1t was his boast that he had
voted for every republican candidate
for president from John G. Fremont
to Roosevelt. He stood Loyalty by the
party when Colorado was almost com
pletely overwhelmed by the silver SEN
timent and was rewarded in 1893 by
an appointment from President Nc.
Kinley as assayer in charge of the
United States mint at Denver.
Mr.. Hodges was stricken with par
alysis 81 months ago, and he never re-
covered from the stroke. He was able
for long time to go down town in
charge of an attendant, but last March
he was again stricken and had to take
to his he'd. He rallied somewhat and
was able to be about his horne up to
seven weeks ago, when he took to his
ned. A clot formed on his brain and
affected the organs of motion. Men
tally, too, he had been failing since
his illness, as the paralysis seemed to
interfere with his organs of speech.
He was not able to tell those about
him what he desired, as his words
were confused.
His wife was his constant attend
ant during his illness
The funeral was held Thursday aft
ernoon conducted by the Masonic fra
telnty and attended by many friends
nom all parts of the state.

He Admitted the Theft

Wednesday afternoon Dick Grant
caused the arrest of John Kennedy
and Michael Lacy whom he accused
of stealing his gold watch which he
claimed was taken from his person
while he slept. The men were placed
in tie county Jail by Marshal Murray
and were given preliminary hearing
Thursday afternoon before Justice
Hedden when Lacy was discharged
and Kennedy bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $500 in de-
fault of which he will partake of the
county's hospitality until the session
of the court.
Murray testified to finding the
watch in Kennedy's sock and after
Judge Noonan, who had been en-
ployed by Grant to prosecute the case
had exercised considerable strategy in
weaving a web around the prisoner
from which he thought escape would
be impossible, proving by Messrs.
Neeb and Stevenson that he had offer
ed the watch for sale at two drug
stores and also establishing the value
of the time piece by Peisar and Blk
by, the defendant took the stand and
boldly admitted that he took the
watch thus placing the special prose
cutor in a rather sorry plight. Ken
nedy stated with an Indifferent air
that he was out of money and he
thought he would sell the watch and
buy pair of Shoes

Nan Patterson is Free a. Last.

New York, May 12.--Nan Patterson,
one time "Florodora' show girl, was
released to-day from the Tombs prison
after almost year within it's walls
awaiting h determination of the charge
that she had murdered her protector,

She was loudly cheered by crowd of
two thousand people as she left the
prison. The release was made at the
instance of District Attorney Jerome,
who said he did not believe another trial
would result other than in disagree
ment. At the same time he declared
that there had been a serious miscarriage
of justice. He said many newspapers
bad labored to create sympathy for the
girl and that this case had "caused one
more step in this country towards trial
by newspapers rather than trial by jury"
He approved of all his assistant, Mr..
Rand, had done or said in conducting the
case, and added:

Use Of Cotton Bags.

The South Carolina Cotton Asso-
citation is making good progress in
pushing the scheme to induce a
change from the use of burlap to
the use of cotton for fertilizer sacks
and for sacks used in the grocery
trade. When the move was first
started The News made extensive
reference to it and added it's hearty
endorsement of what it considers one
of the most important enterprises
undertaken in the South in some
time for increasing the price of cot
ton by the creation of an increased
demand for the staple. 1t is mat
ter that affects not only South Caro-
lima, but every cotton growing State.
The first steps that have been taken
in the indicated direction have met
with results which are promising in
the extreme. Some of the smaller
fertilizer factories have been APP
preached on the subject of changing
from burlap to cotton in the manu-
facture of their bags and they are
already disposed to look upon the
suggestion with favor. The Vir-
ginia- Carolina Company will be ap-
preached, and an agitation will be
started Immediately to put such a
tariff on burlap as will practically
exclude its importation into this
country. 1t is understood that the
fertilizer concerns have given the
impression that they are willing to
make the change and will gladly do
80 as soon as it is shown that they
will not be placed at a disadvantage
by reason of their competitors offer
ing the goods at lower price in bur.
lap. 1t is argued that at the lowest
estimate the cotton sacks will entail
an additional cost of so cents a ton,
bat if the burlap is excluded, or if
the tariff is 80 raised to offset the
difference, the fertilizer compa-
nies putting out their product in cot
ton will not be at disadvantage.
If the fertilizer companies cannot
be made to make the change through
amicable arrangement, then there is
other way of bringing about the de-
sired result. The cotton farmers
can demand their fertilizers in cotton
sacks. They will be amply justified
in making the demand: First. be-
cause it will increase the consumr-
tion of cotton, and secondly, because
they will be able to use these sacks
for other purposes, and will pay the
difference of so cents ton.
The growers of cotton must
stand as unit on this important
movement. The substitute of cot
ton for burlap in sacks of fertilizers
groceries, lime, ETC., will on the face
of it insure higher price for the
staple, as the consumption will be in
creased hundreds of thousands OF
bales each year. The News is glad
to note that the movement in South
Carolina has taken definite shape
All other cotton growing States
should be quick to give their co.opera.
tion in a matter of such vast impor.
tance.--Charlotto News.
