mony would not ordinarily have been
received in a chicken stealing case,
were the witnesses heard yesterday
and last night
The Peabody attorneys will this
afternoon present another lot of dope
fiends. The democratic attorneys in
the contest will not attempt to i'm
peach the testimony of such witness

conducted the election in the city of
Denver in an illegal manner.
He was unable in his testimony to
make one specific charge Of a viola

wHoopING COUGH EPIDEMIC.

Salt Lake City, Utah. Jan. 10
Whooping cough has spread so eX-
tensively throughout the state. and
especially in the schools during the
last year that the state board of
health has taken action in the mat
ter and sent circulars to the health
officers to enforce strictly the quar-
antine law. The monthly reports up
to the month of December last for
1904 shows that in 81 towns in the
state there has been 1,109 cases of
whooping cough, and from that num-
ber there were 63 deaths. The dis
ease has ragged in the schools, but it
has been regarded lightly. and pre-
measures have not been
taken either by the teachers or par
ents to prevent its spreading. There
are a few cases where persons over
the age of Is have contracted the
disease. but it has been confined in
the school to the smaller children.

The Ball Last Night.

The annual ball of the Order of
Railway Carmen, given last night al
the Auditorium. proved to be a mos
delightful affair. The attendance
was large, the floor being well filed
with dancers all during the evening.
The program of dances was well ar
ranged and every guest thoroughly
enjoyed the occasion. The music was
excellent. the orchestra being at its
best
No details had been overlooked by
the Carmen, and the ball was a sue
cess in every way. The plans were
perfect in their arrangement
The supper served at midnight
was pronounced by all to be one Of
the most elaborate and elegant
spreads served during the season at
the Auditorium.
Following the supper, dancing con-
tinued for some time, and it was long
past the midnight hour when the
merry-making ceased.
The annual balls given by the Car
men are among the years most bril-
liant entertainments. Every care is
taken to see that the guests have
Jolly good lime, and the result is
always most satisfactory to the man
agement and to those entertained.
Perhaps two hundred people were
out at the Auditorium last evening
and over one hundred participated
in the grand march.

CHARLIE WAH
Leaves Grand junction
Tonight for China.

Charlie Wah, the well known Chi
nese laundryman. whose place of
business is on Colorado avenue, will
leave tonight for China.
Charlie Wah has been a resident
of the United States for A years,
arriving in this country at San Fran
cisco. He lived for a number of
Grand Junction about 10 years ago.
He was visited by a Sentinel repre-
sentative this morning and he was
in a most happy frame of mind He
seemed to be extremely happy that
he was to return to his native land
He says he is 60 years old now, and
when asked if he would ever return
TO America again shook his head and
said that he was too old.
Charlie Wah is reputed to be rich.
He has saved considerable money
during his long residence in this
country. When Charlie first came to
Grand Junction he indulged in gam
bling considerably and was about as
slick with the pasteboards as any
American. Many attempts were made
10 dispossess Charlie of his hoard
but they all signally failed. He was
4 loser sometimes, but was winner
about as often.
Charlie is good -natured and he
says that he will never marry. He
also said that he never had been
married. with the amount of money
which he will take with him to China
he will be able to live the balance
IF his days in ease and luxury in his
own country.
Between Charlie Wah and George
Peters. the well known Rio Grande
Western conductor. there is a great
bond of friendship. It is said that
when George was told that Charlie
was to leave this country permanent
ly there were copious tears shed.
Charlie was asked about Mr. Peters
this morning. and he said that he
had bade him good bye, but that
George was a good boy and he would
like to have induced him to go to
China with him.
Charlie Wah has always conducted
his business in fair and square
manner and made many warm per-
sonal friends in the city who will
regret his leaving.

ing rock.
Accompanied by NJ. L. Woodman,
who has large mining and banking
interests in the camp, the Democrat
news gatherer went over to Kendall
Wednesday morning and remained
there until Thursday. He desired to
get at first hand, some of the news of
the lively camp and give himself the
satisfaction of breathing into his
lungs ozone fairly laden with pros
pect fever producing bacteria. That is
about as near as a country editor ever
gets to riches-in the "atmospheren
where they are talked of and acouir-
ed by the other fellow.
1t is no exaggeration to state in the
beginning that there are a lot of un-
usually level headed people in the
North Moccasin camp. The greater
number of them have lived there so
long where they are daily turning out
real, unadulterated gold bricks that
they do not throw any extrayigant
gestures when it is reported that an
other big property or half a dozen
OF them have been opened up. 1t is
about what the larger number of them
expected and some of them. like Tom
Riser, say: II knew it all the time
Why, wasn't I here when the stuff
was put here?"
Speaking of Tom, if the pilgrim de-
sires an entertaining time, he can do
no better than engage the versatile
conversationalist as his guide. Given
little time, Tom can give a true, ac-
curate and correct map on the land

the lay of the land to depth of two
or three thousand feet

sat inside the railing and was accom-
panied by his father and wife.
George Creel, the undertaken who
took charge of Studzinski's body after
It was found and viewed by the coro-
ner's jury, was the first witness. He
simply testified as to the condition Of
the body and of the finding of the rope
around the old mans heck.
Coroner DR.. F. F. Attix was next
called and was examined at some
length by the state. He also testified
as to the condition Of the old Jews
body, the cause Of his death and of a
few circumstances which occurred on
the morning of the inquest. He said
that while subpoenaing Jurors for the
coroner's inquest, he came up to a
small crowd of men, one of whom was
Long. The coroner asked Long if he
knew anything about the case and
Long replied that he lived right near
there and was only sorry that he was
not around that night as he might
have seen something of the assault
1t Will be remembered that it was
then the general belief that the old
man was killed on Thursday night
and that was the night to which Long
referred while talking to the coroner.

Sheriff l.. P. Slater was the next
witness called. He testified concern

made a number of statements con-
cerning his movements on the night
of the murder, concluding by saying
that he went home about midnight
with Heinicke. The latter part of the
statement was, of course, a mistake,
as Heinicke had previously proved
that he was not in town that night

attempt to do So" He was then asked
IT it was not likelihood that Long
could be mistaken about whom he was
with on that evening and replied that
he statement was made under oath.

The town of Kendall probably has a

der the heart of the business section
of Butte are tunnels from which are
taken thousands of tons of copper

that within three years there will be
