Fortify Your Body Against Disease

Above all 1t is necessary to build

that invasion of disease may be resist

off disease. Pure blood forms one of
the most important defences of the

5000 was paid to the taxpayers Of the
district, in premiums for blooded
stock, for fine poultry, for grain. for
vegetables and for fruit, whereas
$2. 600 or more was paid to the owners
of racehorses. Is ii any wonder then
that the taxpayers of the county regis
ter an emphatic protest against their
money being thus used7 This in con-
nection with the fact that the county
commissioners of this county voted
the Farmers club the sum of $500 to
be used in paying premiums, and be-
cause the above sum was in excess of
the amount, voted by Pitkin and Ea-
gle counties combined.
Another item of expense in connec.
tion with the race-fair last week is
the bill for printing which the man
agement permitted H. j. Holmes to
run up into the hundreds of dollars
and which will probably be paid
without protest.
In conclusion it may be added that
it is not the intention of this paper to
criticise the good intentions of the
fair management. and the fact that
the receipts last week were far short
of the expenses may lead to a better
condition of affairs next year. Rifle

WAY TO PRESERVE FISH AND GAME

rado. The greater part of this land
remains unsurveyed to this day.
This rugged tract of land will aver

miles in length, covering an area of
420 square miles, or l2 townships 1t

bands of elk and mountain sheep
which remain within its limits the
year round, and also several beautiful
lakes containing trout which, despite
the game laws, are rapidly disappear
ing, For evidence of this one has but
to ask the fisherman of ten years ago
who visited the lakes and again tried
them with the rod this season. There
is but one way to successfully retain
this game and fish in the country and
that is the national park idea. A
park would form a breeding ground
which would supply the surrounding
country for an indefinite period to
come. 1t is only to he regretted that
the land does not lie low enough to
retain the deer, also, within its lin
its.
1t is true, this piece of ground is
not large for national park, yet it
contains scenery that would make it

the lack of roads prevent settlers from
cutting timber even by the use Of per-
mits. The lands lying adjacent to
this proposed tract contain more tim
ber than the ranchmen could possibly
use.
When this matter is considered in
its true light and examined into. it
loses the phase of first appearances,
and becomes not only feasible but the
practical thing to do. Give us ma

that it is the only way we can ever

idea with proper confines is all right.

The Glenwood post., 1905-10-14

On another page we print as mat
ter of news set of resolutions drawn
up at Hahns Peak during court week,
and it is said they were extensively
signed although they say much and
mean little A Rife paper has it
that Routt county papers are unani-
nous in their opposition to the
scheme to make national park with

est reserve, and like the case of the
twins, they only lack one Of it. The
Courier is too honest in its convic-
tious to use palaver on our ranchmen,
at least when they can 80 easily see
through the artifice. The prime OBJ
lection to the plan is that the making
of the park would shut off large
territory from the cattle range and
thus ruin many of the ranchmen who
live in the vicinity, this plea being
advanced. seemingly, for no other
purpose than to soft soap the ranch
men, or it may be from ignorance of
the vast scope of territory covered by
the reserve. Should the government
make any attempt to deprive settlers
of range for their cattle, the Courier
would use every influence to defend
the settlers, and so, should the off
cials desire to make the entire reserve
into park. their plan would receive
its quietus from our congressman on
the spot. But there is no reason why
the range may not be reserved to the
settler, even to every section on which
COW brute can be found at the pres
ent day, and yet reserve large terri
tory that would be vastly benefited

SHIELDS GIVEN
HIS LIBERTY
Witnesses for Prosecution MOI
Positive in Their Identification

George L. Shields, who was last
week arrested on complaint of F. H.
Selhorst who charged that Shields was
the man who held him up and shot
him three years ago last July, was
given preliminary examination last
Tuesday afternoon and at the conclu-
sion of the testimony for the prosecu-
tion was discharged.
The testimony of Selhorst was not
positive enough in its nature to justi
fly binding the prisoner over to the
district court. Selhorst detailed the
circumstances of the holdup on July
IL. 1902. told how he grappled with
his assailant and of the hand to hand
struggle which lasted about minute
how he was shot in the groin aud
sank to the ground. He said the fell
low then ran west along Tenth street
and when half across the block, took
off his his coat and turned his head
and looked back. He gave it as his
best judgment that the man was
George Shields. This opinion was
based on the shape of the man and his
movement which were identical with
those of Shields.
Mrs. F. A. Gordon testified that
she heard the shots and looking out
from her yard saw man running
west on Tenth street and as he ran
under the arc light on Colorado ave-
nue., she thought she recognized
George Shields. He was running to-
ward the Shields home on Pitkin ave
nue.. When her husband came home
she told him about the affair and said
the fellow she saw running under the
light looked like George Shields.
F. A. Gordon testified to his wife
description of the fellow and corrobo-
rated her testimony as to her opinion
concerning the resemblance to Shields.
Witness met Shields the next day and
said George, did you make any
money last night2" Shields seemed
agitated and without replying, turned
and walked away.
Simon Hymes heard the shots and
saw man running westward along
Tenth street. He could not identify
the fellow.
At this point Senator Taylor called
attention to the lack of evidence. say.
ing there was no testimony sufficient
to even put the prisoner on his de-
fense, making a strong point of the
fact that although more than three
years had elapsed since the assault,
Selhorst had not telt sufficient inter
est in the matter to swear out war
rant for Shields arrest until last
week. He made motion to have
the case dismissed.
Judge Noonan, who appeared as
special prosecutor, resisted the mo-
tion, claiming there was abundant
evidence to warrant the court in
binding the prisoner over to the dis
trict court. Judge Witten took a
different view of the matter and get
the prisoner free.

Three Hunters Bold

Last week; it was on Saturday
there sailed forth trio gay. From
Glenwood Springs to Thompson creek
they travelled like lightning streak.
First there came blithe Rudasill upon
q snow white mare; while on a
prancing, piebald steed bold Steward
cleft the air; and mounted on a
saffron mule came King. the super of
our school.
With great ado and such clatter
that all the folk cried whats the
matters' they dashed along the peace
full vale and through the streets of
Carbondale, and thus upon the hills
they came where they intended to
shoot game. The purpose fixed had
they, with luck, to bring to bag three
great fat buck.
Now shouted King: 81 spy thing
that looks to me like deerl' But
when they came upon it, twas an
empty keg for beer. The next to
speak, The gave squeak and rushed
off on tear was Steward. Saw an
old tree stump and thought it was a

axe and killed it then and there.

deer would scoot--yet all their shoot
ing was in vain. Thus passed the
hours in noise away. The sun rose on
another day. Across the hills again
they went till all the morning hours
were spent, and then each shouted,
Let us turn and hoineward down the
trail we II burn.
Il Il
Twas dark; twas late; twas long
past eight when into town there rode
three forms with heavy eyes and
dropping heads-three men all hunt,
ing for their beds. First wearily rode
Rudasill upon draggled mare, while
on stumbling spotted horse rode
Steward with great care, and lastly
on dusty mule came King, endeav'r r
ing to look cool. And each one en-
tering his house bore stead of deer,
brace of grouse.
