Hannah Elias, the negress who while
mistress OF senile John R. Platt got
$685. 900 from him and who was the
cenrtal figure in sensational legal pro-
ceedings when Platt tried to recover
his money, has given one of the choice
residence districts of Harlem, New
York, a rude shock. She has purchas-
ed two fine apartment houses, turned
out 30 white families and invited me-
groes to become tenants. The color
line is drawn very firmly in New York
residence districts and Mrs. Elias in
vasion undoubtedly means the entire
block will ultimately be given over to
negroes, as the values of property will
deteriorate and the whites will all
move out.

WORK OF JEALOUS MAN
Kills Wrong Man and When Meets
Right One Is Shot by Him.

A sensational shooting took place
recently at Last Chance, a mining
town in the mountains SO miles from
Auuurn, Cal. 1t appears that Charles
Dorka, a saloon keeper, became jeal-
Gus of Frank Tillotson, superintend-
ent of the Home Ticket mine, and
started out to kill him. He met
William Polifka and, taking him for
Tillotson, shot him dead. Learning
the mistake he had made, he contin-
ued his hunt for Tillotson. The lat
ter had been informed of the shoot
ing and its cause and when Dorka
appeared Tillotson shot him.

IoWANs HATE TO GIVE UP PASS
Will Resign Positions Rather than
Forego Them.

Iowa is having a strange experience
with her a~ntipass law, which went
into effect July A. The law forbids
the acceptance of free passes by all
public officials and delegates to politi-
cal conventions. The result is that
public officials and delegates to CON
ventions are threatening to resign
their positions by the score all over
the state. They that the
pass is of more value to them than the
Office and emoluments thereof. The
mayor of Tama, one of the largest
towns on the Northwestern road, has
resigned. This will necessitate calling
a special election at a considerable
cost to taxpayers.

John {. Eitel Is No More

AT 230 last Wednesday, John E.
Eitel, an old resident of Glenwood.
yielded up the ghost after long and
painful illness. Mr. Eitel was nearly
II years of age and had really been
in failing health for the past three
years but managed to keep up and look
after his business, having numerous
short attacks.
For about three months he has been
confined to his room and the most of
that time to his bed, and during the
past few weeks the end was expected
almost daily.
Mr.. Eitel was always of bright
and CHEEKY disposition and so remained
almost to the last.
He had followed the saloon business
nearly all his life, first in Indiana at
Madison and Lafayette, and after
coming to Colorado at Leadville, AS
pen and Glenwood, having been in
business in Glenwood nearly twenty
years.
He always had great faith in the
future of Glenwood, and a few years
ago exhibited his faith by purchasing
one of the best business corners in the
city at price which was then looked
upon as fabulous figure Notwith-
standing his business, which seemed
to be a sort of second nature to him
and which he referred to with what
seemed like feeling of pride, there
were many good qualities in the make
up of Johnnie Eitel. He was, how
ever, his own worst enemy. and his
death was but the effects of we'll
known cause.
Mr.. Eitel had for years owned a
burial lot in the cemetery at -afay
ette, Indiana, and at his request his
body was prepared by Undertaken
Schwarz and shipped to Lafayette for
burial

Spencer SeedIeSS Apple Company
in Trouble

For some time trouble has been
brewing among the officers and direc
tors of the Spencer Seedless Apple
company of Grand Junction, and is
fast coming to a head. 1t is openly
admitted by some of the con pany that
the courts will be asked to help them
out by appointing a receiver.
Some grave charges have been made
aaginsi some of the officers, and it is
said that there is matter of $40, 600
which is one of the points at issue.
Recently they have been disposing
of their office fixtures and nave an
nounced to the public that new and
better quarters would be secured and
more pretentious Office furniture for
it, but it appears, so director init
mates, that there is something deeper
down which at present is being with
held from the public. 1t is admitted, i,
however, that receiver is to be asked
for at an early date.

Te"'S of Mission Work IN tqypt

AT the Presby terian church last
SUNDAY evening Miss Margaret Bell,
sister of George H Bell of this city,
addressed the people upon the subject
of missionary work in Egypt Miss
Bell has spent many years as a mis-
sionary in Egypt and her description
of the crudities of that ancient coun-
try, the ignorance and superstition of
the people and the difficulty of reach
ing them with the gospel, was very
interesting indeed.
Miss Bell has spent four years at
Tonta Egypt, and was obliged to re-
turn to this country on account of
her health She has been in the
United States almost year and now
feels strong enough to again resume
her w rk in the foreign field. She
left here Thursday morning for Allan

Christmas holidays with the home
folks, will again return to the for
eign field where she plans to remain
eight yeals.

DISTRICT COURT
THIS WEEK
Considerable Time Spent in Select
ing JurIeS----Only Two Cases
Disposed Of
NELSON CASE NOW BEING TRIED

Although the district court has
been busy all week, but two cases
have been disposed of.
The Malaby case was taken up on
Monday and the process of securing a
jury was quite tedious as the facts in
the case seemed to be known to many
of those subpoenaed to serve as jurors.
1t will be remembered that the case
had already been tried at this term of
court. the jury failing to agree.
Mr. Malaby was accused on two
counts, one of assault, the other as
sault with deadly weapon. The
case grew out of the Glenwood town
election last April when Mr.. Malaby
as town marshal was called upon by
the mayor to quell disturbance in
the East Glen wood voting precinct.
AL Coulter was the complaining
witness. The testimony showed that
Coulter was interfering with voters
contrary to law and Malaby sought to
have him desist Coulter resented
Malaby's interference and the latter
drew his gun and struck at Coulter.
Judge Shumate seemed to hold to
the theory that Malaby's office of
marshal gave HIM no authority in the
voting place unless called by the cleo
tion judges to maintain order.
The jury found Malaby guilty of
plain assault but the amount of his
fine has not yet been fixed by the
Court Ed. T. Taylor, Malaby's at
torney, will probably ask for new
trial.
Following the Malaby case came
that against o W. Cooley charged
with rape. The prosecutrix is Coney
Dwire. ten, year old girl. This case
was also tried couple weeks ago, the
jury failing to agree.
Many witnesses were called to prove
the guilt of the defendant. The case
was of such a revolving character that
the hearing was had behind closed
doors.
District Attornev Gentry made the
strongest case possible under the cir
cumstances but Cooley was ably de
Tended by Taylor and Noonan. After
being out but 10 minutes the jury re-
turned a verdict of acquittal and
Cooley was set free and the taxpayers
can now have the fun of paying the
costs.
At the time the Post goes to press
the case of the People versus Nelson
is being tried. Nelson is charged
with cattle stealing, John T. Boulton
of New Castle being the prosecuting
witness.
