THEY ARE HOPEFUL.
Willoughby's Men Still Hold Out En-
courageinent to Montrose Re
garding the Railroad.

Willoughby's men still hold out
encouragement to Montrose regard
inf the railroad.
The following from the Montrose
Enterprise would indicate that that
city has reasons to believe that she
may vet be the terminus of the Colo
rado and Southwestern railroad:
''R. A. Gourley, who is connected
with Mr.. Willoughby. was in the city
Friday and gave a reporter the en-
couraging news that Montrose has
show to get the Paradox railway
after all. He said that Mr.. Willough-
by had a score of men or more maxi
ing n preliminary survey, but that
the selection of a route was not pos
itively settled so far, and that there
is a good chance that the company
would decide to build from Montrose
after all. AS the latest census gives
Montrosc a population of 5,7GS. Mr..
Gourley was enthusiastic over the fu-
ture of this city. He thinks the stand
ard guage will work wonders here,
and when the big ditch, 10 feet
wide, is carrying the vast volume OF
water through the valley. this city
will take on a big population. There
is some talk of the Rio Grande build
ing line of their own to Paradox
and Norwood from Montrose. Mr.
Gourley said that the new line would
be independent that it may start from
this city and that the completion OF
The tunnel would make Mnntrnse a
long ways toward the largest Colo
RADIO city west of the range"

HENRY wATTERSON TALKS
OF BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT

A dispatch from New York under
Mondays date line reads as follows:
Col. Henry Watterson, the noted
Kentucky editor, who is spending his
vacation at Manhattan Beach, con-
sented to talk politics to report
er this afternoon and incidentally
came out into the open with the dec
laration that he is opposed to gov
ernmental ownership. OF William
j. Bryan, he said:
''Mr Bryan is ten years older than
he was in 1896. Radicalism and con-
servatism are not only relative but
convertible terms. The radical of
yesterday becomes the conservative
of today and some times vice versa.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made Mr.. Bryan
look like a conservative. The coun-
try wants a change and after Roose-
welt, it will see no danger in Bryan. 2"
On the question as to what one
thing, aside from Roosevelt's luck,
made him unusual, Watterson re-
Piled
"Mr. Roosevelt is a very able man
having for the public a most attrac-
tive personality, standing boldly out
in its salient aspects, and he has play
ed his hand well and in amazing good
fortune. Public opinion however, is
a wilful Jade and politics a game of
chance. The late John Oakhurst was
quite right when he said that there
is nothing about cards except that
luck will change Two years hence
may witness the president among the
least popular men; but he will al
ways have his courage and his vir
tue with him and they are great con
solers in adversely. On the whole
he will have the right in any event
to be very. well pleased with him
self"
The next question was based or
the story that II. II. Rogers says thai
enterprise is counted disease thai
the American public thinks ought
to be legislated against. and Col
Watterson was asked whether it wal
irony or petulance and stricken van
ity, to which he replied:
''Alr. Rogers speaks, doubtless
from his own experiences, in this ant
his predictions, as the rest of III
do. The government should keep III
hands on all corporations, should
regulate and control them, protectin,
allie the stockholders and the zen
erai public"

\ FRIGHrFUL ACCIDENT.
Young Boy Employed ut the Planning
Mill Has Hand Cut of by
A Rip Saw Yesterday
At Planning Mill.

Yesterday afternoon at 3:15 o.
clock Frank RAIDER, a boy about 6
years of age, employed at the Grand
Junction planning mill on South Sew
enth street, met with a most fright
full accident while on duty in one of
the work rooms of the mill.
The young man was working near
rip saw which was in operation and
1t seems that just at this time he was
talking to some one when in some
manner his left hand was caught by
the saw and quick as a flash nearly
all of the hand was severed from
the arm. Only the little finger and
a portion of another finger was left,
and besides the fingers practic-
ally the entire palm of the hand was
torn away.
The wounded boy walked into the
room where Mr.. Weber, foreman of
the mills was at work and called his
attention to the injury by holding
up his hand. So sudden had the
saw struck him that his nerves seem
ed completely deadened and he did
not feel any pain for some minutes
after the accident had happened. Mr.
Weber at once summoned physic-
ians and Drs. Henderson, Ingersoll
and Abbott responded The injured
boy was made as comfortable as pos
sible, the physicians spending sever
al hours in dressing the horribly
mangled hand and arm. Young Rad
er was removed to his home and un-
less there are unexpected develop
ments he will get along all right. he
suffered intensely for some time dur
ing the night.
RAIDER has been employed at the
planning mill for about one year. The
family resides on South Seventh
street not far from the mill.

DISTRICT COURT NEXT WEEK.

The May term of the district
court of Barber county will con-
vene in this city next Monday.
The docket is lighter than usual

criminal cases on the docket, the
principal one of which is the State
of Kansas VS.. Frank White and
Elmer Williams. 1t will be the
third trial Of White on charge of
cattle stealing and the second for
Williams. The offense charged
in this trial is that of stealing two
head of cattle from James Hale
from the Brownback pasture at
Aetna and selling them to Abe
Shklar at Kiowa. The other Grim
inal cases are State VS.. c. E. Luns-
ford of Elm Mills, who is charged
with felonious assault committed

Williams, charged with selling
whiskey; State VS.. Stave Prichard

q q. right of way matters and the
Brownback- Hearn- Arthur replevin
action. Indications are that court
will be in session less than ten
days.

A PURE WATER MOVEMENT.
Mass Meeting of Medicine Lodge Citizens
Friday Night to Consider Plan to
Change Water System.

The Mayor and Council of the
city have proposition from out :
side capital to assume the city
water system and put in a we'll and
and opera tie the system
under franchise grant. The mat
ter was brought before the council
meeting Monday night and 1t was
thoroughly explained at that time,
but the parties interested say that
they will not undertake it unless it
is the desire of the citizens and
taxpayers of the city. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of such a sys-
tenn as is proposed would cost
$4,000, and, of course, water con-
sumers would be guaranteed good,
pure water and meters would be
supplied SO that consumers would
pay for the amount of water used
at the same rate per barrel paid
by surrounding cities. The plan
also carries with it electric lights.
The proposition, if adopted, means
that the ditch and dam will be
abandoned and the city relinquish
es its ownership and operation en-
tirely.
1t is no secret that the water sys
tenn was started wrong. 1t does
not maintain itself and each year
the general fund must be drawn
upon to keep up the dam and ditch.
In round numbers itrequires $500
more than the water rents each year
to keep up the water works and
this is one of the elements that con-
tributes to the present condition of
the general fund and consequent
shortage of finances to meet the
city's current expenses. We think
there is no doubt that the city
could maintain water system if
it had a properly constructed one,
but the present one is a botch and
it will always be loser and the
city seems to be too deeply in debt
to construct substantial one.
III OIdCI 70 CliCCh TIC IifdltCI up
to the people a mass meeting has
been called by the city administra
ton at the court house for Friday
night of this week. This meeting
should be attended by every citizen
and everybody should put on his
thinking cap. 1t is a serious ques-
ton and one that cannot be too
carefully handled. 1t is recognized
by everybody that our present sys-
tenn is almost a failure and the city
is SO financially burdened that it
cannot put in better one. Yet
there is great deal to be said
against granting a franchise to
private corporation and until this
paper has better understanding of
the new plan it can not intelligent
ly express definite opinion.

DEATH AMONG INFANTS.

Three Barber county families
were visited by the Silent Reaper
on Sunday, May 9th and in each
case "baby," the treasure of the
household, was taken away. The
age Of each child was about IS
months.
The afflicted families are ]. M.
Lukens and wife, of Mingona;
Frank Hiatt and wife, of Valley,
and O. F. Rowley and wife, of
Eagle. The funeral in each cas- e
was held on Monday. Rev. F. c.
Ward, pastor of the Baptist church
of this city, ofliciated at the Row
ley home and interment was in
Mule Creek cemetery. Rev.W. H.
Moore, pastor of the Methodist
church, had charge of the services
in the Lukens home and interment
was in Highland cemetery. The
minister at Isabel conducted the
services at the Hiatt home and the
remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery near that city.
In each case the trouble was of
several weeks duration. The sick
ness of Mr.. and Mrs. Lukens' boy
was first brought on by eating poi
son ivy from the effects of which
scarlatina developed which later
developed into scarlet fever. Other
members of the family had a mild
attack of the fever but recovered
without becoming critical.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowley's boy was
sick much of the time during the
winter and had complication of
troubles. At times it seemed to
improve but disease finally con-
quered the delicate constitution.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hiatt's daughter
died from gastric trouble and was
sick a less time than either of the
other children.
The friends of these families feel
deeply sympathetic to them in
their sorrowing moments. May
the comforter bring to them the
healing balm and drown their
sorrows.

THEY GOT THE "aoN'.-Bur.

Sheriff Haun took possession of
two railroad graders last Wednes-
day and is looking for two more.
The quartet engaged in cashing
bogus checks with several of our
merchants but lacked smoothness
and were easily called down. H.
T. Woodward & Son, L. A. Eby
and R. S. Bisby were defrauded.
An attempt was made to cash an
other at V. S. Cooks but left
Wilson, on whom they were trying
to work the game, smelled a rodent
and turned the check down.
The check cashed at Woodward's S
was drawn in favor of James Clark
and signed by G. H. Mcmahon, re-
puted to be a sub-contractor, but
which was in fact fictitious name.
Clark endorsed it. The amount
was $I2.5o. The check cashed at
Eby's was for $o.85 1t was sign
ed by L. w. McFadden and drawn
an favor of G. w. McFadden. The
other was cashed by ]. c. Gillett,
nicknamed "Jolly," at R. S. Bisby's.
The amount was $3.50. This
check was also signed by the hcti-
tious "McMahon' but was given
by Frank Danielsto "Jolly." Dan
iels claims he won it in a 'Scrap''
game and that a mysterious red
headed stranger was the former
possessor. The red headed man
was described at least twice nv
Daniels and the descriptions did
not harmonic.
Gillett, Clark and McFadden
hired rig at Kinkaid & Johnson
livery barn Tuesday night. Gil
lett brought it back on Wednesday
but Clark and McFadden getaway
The sheriff arrested Gillett and
Daniels Wednesday evening. Gil
lett gave bail for his appearance
and Daniels was committed to Jail,
failing to give bond, and the pre-
liminary was set for Monday,
before Justice Collins. Gillett's
surety was a fellow railroad grader
and the amount was $500.
When the case was called or
Monday it was found that some of
the checks had not yet been re-
turned from the bank at Goltry,
Oklahoma, on which they had been
drawn, and the preliminary hear
ing was postponed until Friday.

HOME FROM ENGLAND.

Johnson Mounsey and wife and
their daughters, Misses Eva and
Fannie, of this city, and their son,
George, of Nippawalla township,
returned home from their visit in
England on Tuesday of last week.
A niece, Miss Ada Mounsey, and
five young men, George Metcalf,
Thomas Brunskill, John Rae, Mich
ael Dodd and George Isaacs, came
with them and expect to become
American citizens. They have al
ready secured work near and in the
city.
Mr.. Mounsey and the other mem
bers of the family left in the early
winter. They had a splendid visit
in their native country and among
other matters of interest, they say
that buildings there from 200 to
900 years old seem as substantial
as new ones. 1t was seventeen
years since they last saw the old
country and they were glad to
mingle once again with their coun-
trymen. Mr.. Mounsey, ST., was
quite sick for several weeks and at
one time it was doubtful whether
he would ever be able to return.
The party say that while they
enjoyed the trip very much they
are all glad to get, back to Ameri-
can shores.

A HEAVYLOSS.

A. A. Marched lost his fine Blue
stem stallion Monday night and his
jack and draft stallion are both
sick. The disease is a puzzle to
veterinarians and foul play is fear
ed. An examination of the Blue
stem horse after death revealed a
hole eaten through the stomach
and the membranes and Innings
between the stomach and lungs
eaten into shreds. There is no
doubt that the trouble was caused
by the horses eating something
poisonous but how he got it or
what the substance was is not
known. Mr.. Marchel's brother
from Rice county, a veterinarian,
arrived Saturday and DR.. Bleecher,
who has wide reputation, arrived
yesterday and both are maxim G a
careful investigation.
Mr.. Marchel's loss is easily $500
Should he be so unfortunate as to
lose Garabaldi, the large horse, il
would add easily $1,000. We would
! regret to even think that there is
anyone IN or near this city who is
SO depraved as to be guilty of such
an act. and we hope that a thor
ough investigation will remove
all suspicion.
Mr.. Marched certainly has our
sympathy In his loss and we sin.
