HER NAME
twas MAUD
Heroes of Santiago on
the Transport
Dix.

There are a large number Of war
heroes in town over whose arrival there
was no stir. Indeed it was only by
accident that their story leaked out.
They came on the transport Dix and
are now quartered at the government
corral. In short they are lot OF old
army mules, long in the service and
veterans of the recent war. There
are about three hundred of them and
every one was with General Skaters
army on its triumphal campaign
through Cuba. When Teddy" was
charging up the shot-swept slopes at
San Juan hill these faithful heroes
were hauling the provisions and am
munition for the army over the almost
impossible Cuban roads. Why, if it
hadn't been for these mules Teddy"
could never have made his famous
charge and might never have been
president. Just think of it!
One of the cattlemen on board the
Dix paid an eloquent tribute to the
army mule last night. When the
fightin' was gettin' purity hot around
Santiago" he said there was lit
tie skirmish in the jungle where our
commissafy department had its head
quarters. The grass and trees was so
thick that we couldn't see ten feet eX-
cept in spots. Well, the DagoeS crept
up on the camp and one of them, a
head of the rest crawled through the
brush jest back of where we had the
mules staked. There was one big mule,
called Maud staked on the, outside and
the Dago bein' careless about what he
wuz dom accidentally jabbed Maud
with his bayonet. The fuSt thing we
fellerS knew there wuz a sort of yell,
then a dull sickenin' thud. Then the
Dagoes begun poppin' at US through
the trees and we had to up and drive
them out. Well, Maud saved the post
that day and after Santiago wuz cap
tured we heard that Dago tellin' as
how he stumbled upon masked bat
terry and wuz hit by a thirteen inch
shell.
Il tell you there amt a more worthy
but inappreciated hero than the gov
eminent mule. He amt much to look
at but he does the work. When the
boys is winnin' glory on the bloody
field the old army mule is pullin' up the
supplies what you has to have to fight
battles. When it gets too hot to en-
trench they'll shoot him and pile his
carcass up for breastworks. They'll
cuss at him when he gets his load
stuck in the mud and lays down but
when he was lopin' across the plains
with two or three arrows stickin' in
his hide draggin' the old ambulance to
safety from the hostile Injuns. they
thought a lot of him. And when his
further usefulness is over he lays down
his life for the service and is served up
as emergency rations. No, sir, it amt
no sign a critter amt true hero
because he's got U. s. stamped in his
hide instead of on his uniform collar.
And they's times in war when Mileses
and Skaters are plenty but the coun-
try is mighty glad to depend on her
faithful servant whose name is
aIaI16

ARGUMENTS IN FISHING
CASE IN SUPREME COURT

DENVER, Nov. l9-(Special to Pu-
eblo ChieftainD Oral arguments on
what is known as the hsh decision
will be heard before the supreme court
next Tuesday. Some time ago the su-
preme court rendered decision to the
effect that fishermen could not FISH
in streams unless they secured the
consent of the property owners on
each side.
The decision caused sucn comment
from sportsmen who do not own land
that the attorney generals office petit
toned the supreme court to reopen
the case. and this petition win be ar
gued next Tuesday. Assistant Attor-
ney General Melville will represent
the state and he said today that the
other side would be represented by
the attorneys for practically all OF the
corporations in the state that own land
along the streams where fish abound
and also by those whose land inter
ests are such that they wish to pro-
tect their streams. Mr.. Melville stat
cd that he would take the position
that Colorado should stand alone In
this matter and allow her streams to
be used for fishing purposes by any
and every one; that the water In the
streams belongs TO the state and that
the bed over which the water flows
belongs to the state also.
1t Is claimed by those who wish

announced last spring hundreds Of
thousands of acres of desert and other

WHAT CRIME HAD THE

team were evidently escaping from.
Everything indicated their anxiety to
get out of the country; clearly they
did not take the team to realize on

to death. Both were armed with re-
yolvers and rifles and reports say
they always kept their hands on their
firearms. Friday night in Denver a
family was cnloroformed, the residence
robbed and then set on fire. This Is
the only serious crime of the week
Newspapers say two men were in
volved, one tall and the other short
and stocky. But city yellows for years
have always connected a long and
short man with these crimes. If these
were the men. Sunday night would
have brought them to Ouray, and the
point Monday morning. 1t may be
that they will give themselves away to
the officers. At any rate driving OF
the horses to death is sufficient for a
term in the pen, If they have done
nothing else. Court sits next Tues
