Paxton in his complaint says that
he never at any time gave up Fremont
county as his residence and was only
in Cripple Creek during the life of
lease which he had on mining prop
erty. The commissioners contend that
when he left here he did so with the
intention of remaining in Teller coun-

formed the functions of coroner. The
commissioners have been allowing the

Florence held big meeting Tuesday
