MURDER OF FORMER
GLENWOOD BOY
I'd hCf1iIIeR Shot by d Business
Rival at neeker---The Funeral
Services in GleRwOOd

Residents of Glenwood We're shock
ed Saturday morning to hear of the
tragic murder the night previous of
Ed. McMillen, young man we'll
known in Glenwood. The young man
who for some time had conducted the
barber shop in the Meeker Hotel was
shot and almost instantly killed by
j. nj. Thornton, business rival. aft
er the two had quarrelled over some
reports Thornton was said to have
circulated concerning McMillen.
McMillen made an ante mortem
statement but this has not been made
public. Thornton was at once
placed under arrest and an inquest
held last Saturday. Thornton waived
examination and was held without
bail until the next session of the dis
trict court. Sheriff Amick of Rio
Blanco county brought the prisoner to
Glenwood Sunday night and placed
him in Jail here for safe keeping.
Ed. McMillen was quiet, good
natured young man who made many
friends wherever he went. He was
married something over year ago.
The remains were brought to Glen
wood and the funeral held last Mon
day afternoon from the Presbyterian
church, Rev. Bernard Rice of Grand
Junction conducting the services. The
large number of people in attendance
attested the high esteem in which the
young man was held. He leaves a
father and mother. brother and three
brothers and sister besides the wife,
who have the sympathy of the com
munity in their Of hour sorrow.

JUDGE SHUnATE
IS RENOnINATED
Gets All But Eight Votes in Con-
yentiOn----Hdppy Speech by
His Opponent

The democratic judicial convention
morning between trains and Hon.
John T. Shumate renominated to the
office Of district judge of the ninth
judicial district.
b. 7. Napier of Glenwood presided
ovel the convention and James Lyttle
of Meeker acted as secretary There
were no contests and the committees
on credentials and order of business
soon completed their work. The
whole affair was cut and dried and
the result was a foregone conclusion.
hence the formality of depositing the
ballots was soon over.
When the chair announced that
nominations were in older District
Attorney Gentry placsd in nomin
tion John 7. Shumate, whom he de-
clared had been tried and had not
been found wanting He said John
Shumate was too well known to need
any eulogy from him. H. W. Clark,
one of the delegates from Pitkin
county, seconded the nomination of
Judge Shumate. Jack Leahy, one of
the three residents of Ashcroft, then
arose and in a speech full of eulogies
nominated Judge H. c. Rogers, whom
he designated as one of the tried and
true democrats of Pitkin county, one
who refused to be swept off his feet by
the tidal wave of populism few
years ago. This nomination was sec
onded by Andy Mulgueen of Aspen
and there the voting was begun.
When the tellers had finished the
count it was founG that Shumate had
30 out of the total of 43 votes, the
remaining 8 votes having been given
to Judge Rogers by the Pitkin county
delegates
Judge Shumate being called for.
addressed the convention, briefly
thanking the democrats present for
the honor they had conferred upon
him and promising that if elected he
would administer the laws of the
state justly, fairly and ar!ially as
he had endeavored to do in the past
He said he made such pledges at his
nomination six years ago and he had
tried to keep those pledges. AS to
whether he had succeeded OF not, he
would leave for his constituents to de-
eide but he said his conscience was
clear on the subject.
Judge Rogers being called for, said
the only fault he could find with his
opponent was that be had made too
good judge and for this reason he
found him invincible. After shower
ing Judge Shumate with boquets he
closeu by thanking the double quar-
tette which had supported him.
The convention adjourned after ap-
pointing the following judicial com.
mittee: Garfield COUNTY, Ed 7. Tay-
lor; Routt r. M. Van Deusen; Rio

good and hung in the office of the
Hotel Glanwood, and l believe it is
there yet. think the original name
as above is much better than 'Bridal
Veil for the reason that it is original
in idea, attractive and more descrip-
tive, and because there are no other
falls of that name in Colorado, or, so
far as l know, anywhere else, while
there are Bridal Veil" falls in
other places in Colorado.

The applause which greeted the

shows the place the present governor

The graceful manner in which Mr..

honor made many friends for both of
