Jack Tar Visits GlenwOOd

j. G. Clemmons, OF the U S.
battleship Oregon, WAS in the city
visiting his old friend Ted Taylor. a
few days this week. Clemmons comes
from San Francisco and is on his way
east where he will soon be mustered
out of service of the navy, having
served his time. He says that the
big battleship has been sent to the dry
dock at Mare Island for repairs and it
will probably be two years before she
will again ride the waves, as a new
set of boilers are to be put in her mas
sive hull and vari ous other expensive
repairs to be added to her boiler
rooms.
Clemmons is an old sailor in the
service of Uncle Sam and has been on
the Oregon for several years. He was
on the big sea fighter during the
Spanish American war when the great
battleship made her record breaking
run from the Pacific coast to Havana
harbor in the hopes of being able to
co operate with Admiral Sampson in
blockading the Spanish fleet under
Crevera. However she arrived few
hours late and was not in the actual
engagement on the Fourth of July
when the American fleet destroyed the
Spanish squadron during the attempt
to run the blockade of the harbor.
Clemmons says that the Oregon is
the most powerful sea fighter in the
United States navy owing to her
measurement, heavy equipment of
big guns and her ability to make
good time and remain comparatively
steady in heavy water.
Clemmons got off at Wolcot while
en- route being under the impressio on
that his friend was living in that
town, but soon learned that he was
mistaken, SO he boarded the next train
and landed in Glenwood Tuesday
night.

He's An Old One

Glenwood people who have little
faith in stories concerning old age and
who we're at the Rio Grand depot the
other morning, are now more of the
opinion that such stories can really
be true. An old white haired man
alighted from one of the passenger
trains and seeing City Marshal Malaby
standing near, approached him and
said; "Mr. Marshal, | am man of
!01 years of age and trying to get back
to my people In the east but | have
run out of funds and find l must get
off as my ticket has expired. | have
here little family record which will
prove to you my age and tell you
where 1 live and if you know of any
way to assist me will be very CRATE
full indeed if you will do So
Marshal Malaby took the old gem
tleman up town and after consulting
the city authorities it was decided to
take him to the county poor farm un-
til something can be done for the old
fellow, or relatives found who will
give him home.
According to the record in possess
sion of the old gentleman his name is
Fisher, and he is from Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. The old man was COM
fortably dressed and looked as though
he had only recently met with misfor.
tune. Mr.. Malaby said he did not
believe, however, that Mr. Fisher
WAS one hundred years of age and his
assertion was backed up by several
bystanders who heard the old man ad.
dressing the marshal. The old fellow,
while his hair was snow white and he
looked very old. was as spry on his
feet as man of sixty and it is not
believed that he could possibly be 80
old as he claims and be so lively in
getting around.

with his mouth, little
dreaming that it would best become
him to reform bis own conduct. The
state of Colorado has suffer ed severely
from the species of agitators known
as knockers. A few years ago every
thing was turmoil and uproar and
business conditions were completely
demoralized. At the close of one re-
publican administration and when
another had been inaugurated anarchy
and rioting ceased and now the state
is in a condition of tranquility and
prosperity such as she has always de-
served. Glenwood has not many
knockers and very few of them have
ever made success of their own bus
ness or any other and yet these are
the people who know all about how to
conduct city government. 1t may
be said in passing that they are all
supporting the Grizzly ticket.

StOCkQrOwerS Meet

The annual meeting of the Roaring
Fork and Eagle River Stockgrowers
association was held last Saturday and
the following officers elected for the
ensuing year: Fred Light, president: !:
G. Il. Harris, vice president; S. P.
Sloss, secretary and James Dalton,
treasurer. W. L. Girdner, w. H.
Harris, Oscar Holland, Sam Oleson
and James Dalton were chosen as an
executive committee.
w. l.. Girdner, the local member
of the stock inspection board brought
up the matter of the examination of
hides and letter was read from the
secretary of the board stating that if
the local inspector did this work he
must do it without pay as there were
no funds available for the payment of
such service.
A motion was made and after con-
siderable discussion pro and con was
carried requesting the local inspector
to visit butcher shops, slaughter pens,
'ohshoo Whoio oiduSulclihB was AOhe
and shipping stations for the purpose
of examining hides, the inspector
not to put in to exceed l2 days in the
year at IS. 90 per day, the bill to be
presented to the stock inspection board.
c. H. Harris made motion to the
effect that all hides buyers be required
to demand bill of sale for all hides
purchased. George Swigart who is
said to buy about all the hides in the
country declared that it would be i'm
possible to do this and that such rule
would force him out of business. He
said people often brought hides to
his place and left them when he was
not at home while he frequently met
people on the road who asked him to
stop at their farms and gather up
the hides, and that such ruling would
work a great hardship on him and
the ranchmen too and would be al
most impossible of accomplishment.
After considerable discussion the mo-
tion was voted down.

Echoes of the Adobe Wreck

w. E. Perry, travelling represent
ative for Chicago firm. was passen =
ger on No. 3 Monday morning and
while stroliug around the depot in
quired of the Post reporter why his
train was to lay in Glenwood for sew
eral hours. We explained to Mr.
Perry that rock slide had occurred
about fifty miles from town on the
Rio Grande Junction that morning
and that it would take several hours
to remove the obstruction.
While in further conversation with
Mr.. Perry he stated that he was in
the wreck at Adobe several days ago,
but owing to the fact that he was in
one of the sleepers he was not injured
He said that while the shock of the
engines coming together was terrific
that he was thrown violently against
the headboard of the berth, he was
not injured in the least and as soon
as he could dress was among the suf-
fering victims of the disaster doing
what he could to help relieve them
Mr.. Perry says he hopes never to
witness another sight as horrible as
that of the wreck of last Friday week.
He told the reporter lengthy story
but as it is only repetition of others
that no doubt our readers have read,
we will omit most of it owing to lack
of space. However, among the many
interesting things he related was two
instances which are probably new.
One was that he saw a woman pray
ing for man to cut her throat with
knife with which he was trying to
cut 9way a cushion so as to release
her. He stated that the lady was
lying in such a position that her face
was protected from the flames while
her body was literally cooked in the
fire before death could relieve her of
suffering.
Mr.. Perry said that perhaps the
oldest incident of the awful accident
was that of man who was walking
up and down along side the wreck
train, smoking cigar and holding
an umbrella over him to keep the
snow off, seemingly needless of the
terrible agony that was all around
him. The travelling man said that
he really never wanted to shoot but
one man in his life, and that was the
individual with the umbrella.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, March
90. Receipts of cattle here last week
were fair but by no means heavy. As
was the case at all markets, bulk of
the supply consisted of beef steers
The demand was very fair but it was
case of too many here. Prices de
clined at all points and beef steers
here are 10 to 25 cents lower than the
proceeding week. Choice steers sold
at 1870 with most of the business at
"a. 90 to $4.75. Cows were in good de-
mand but supply was light. Choice
killing cows closed strong to dime
higher but common cows continue
weak as demand is only fair. One
bunch of good cows sold during the
week at 81 90, which was the best sale
reported, and bulk of the better kill
ing grades went at $500 and up
Bulls were in good demand but sup.
ply not heavy. Prices closed about
steady. Veals are hardly as strong
as week ago although demand is
still good and tops sold at IS. rs.
Feeder and stocker supply was light
and market quiet. Demand was very
good or the better kinds but medium
and inferior stuff is as dull as ever
Good steers closed strong with conn mon
kinds weak. Conditions in the feeder
and stocker division remain on the
whole about the same as week ago.
Supply of cattle today was about 14OO
head, quality good. Eastern markets
were all lower and trade was slow
here in con sequence. but very little
change in values. Beef steers are
hardly as firm as last week but COWS
sold we'll at strong prices. Feeders
and stockers unchanged.

EVER SINCE the arrest of the W.
F. M. officers charged with the mur-
der of Governor Steuuen berg, labor
agitators and anarchi site papers have
been busy in their efforts to manu-
facture sentiment favorable to the
accused and have gone so far as to
declare that the confessions of Or
chard and Adams were fictitious aud
without anything whatever to sub
stantiate them. AS though the dig
ging up of the bomb from Judge God
dadr's lawn at the exact spot where
Orchard said it had been planted at
the command of the inner circle were
not enough Adams this week went to
the spot where he hid several bottles
of 'Hell fire" or ''Pettibone dope"
given him by Meyer with which to
kill non union miners sent to western
fields The fact that the explosives
which Adams planted were not found
at the exact point where he had placed
them but short distance ava y
where they had been secreted by an
other man who found them and hid
them under a nearby pile of cinders
but strengthens Adams story and
makes more plausible the theory on
which the officers are proceeding.

The board is accused of buying lot

LESS THAN A WEEK

LESS THAN A WEEK ago the
Avalanche made an attack on the
board of county commissioners on ac-
count of the terrible condition of the
roads which just now are almost i'm
passi BILE. OF course the roads are
muddy and people can hardly plough
through them but it's all blamable to
the commissioners. Why certainly,
aren't they responsible for the RAIN
and snow, and besides, why don't they
get out and work the roads little
once in awhile2 Its long time since
we have heard of any of the county
commissi oners shoveling mud, or
plowing and scrapiDg the loblolly into
the center of the highway. Why, oh
why can our commissioners be so care
less and indifferent2 It's perfectly
plain that they are responsible for the
terrible condition of the roads and yet
they make no effort to set matters
right They neither attempt to check
the rain nor yet do they make any
effort to dry up the mud. Such neg
ligence is inexcusable and we hope the
gentlemen will give the matter their
off icial attention at once.

LIBRARY MEETING

There was a good attendance at the meeting of the Mesa public library and free reading room association at the opera house last evening. The ladies who have so ably filled the offices dur ing the past year presented their re- ports and statement of the standing of the association. This being the ex- perimental year, the showing made was a good one, the ladies having a nice lot of books on hand, their bills paid and a sum of money in bank with which to start the new year
 The library has been extensively patronized by the public, the reading room attracting quite a large number of the boys and young men.
 The following officers and directors were elected for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. H. D. Evans; vice president Mrs. J. E. Drane; second vice president, Mrs. C. $. Steward; {; secretary, Miss Nora Smith; treas urer Miss Deborah Allen. The re- maining directors chosen were Mrs. J. L.. Waring. Mrs. H l.. Chandler. Mrs. M. C. Phelps, Mrs. Huber and Miss Malvina Wallace.
 The ladies urge all who are inter ested in the library and reading room to become members of the association and help in building up the best library in the territory. It will be found of great benefit to the town.

WORK AT THE GILA.
Progressing in Very Satisfactory
 Manner, Says Mir. Mcclure.

J. C. Mcclure, superintendent of maintenance of way of the Randolph railroad lines. was in town yesterday from his headquarters at Tucson, on a visit of inspection of the work at the Gila river where the new bridge is be- ing built Speaking of the work in progress there, MT. Mcclure said: "The work there is progressing in a very satisfactory manner. About fifty bridge men are now employed and everything is going as well as can be expected. So far. about all that has been done is the placing of the work ing track across the river bed. This has now been completed and work on the river bridge proper will be com menced in a short time unless there should be enough high water to inter fere with the work by taking out the track across the river. This, however, we do not look for as the present con ditions do not point to a great deal of rain this winter. Most of the steel girders and the cylinders for use in the new structure are now on the ground and it is only a question of short time until the building of the new bridge will be we'll under way"
 Asked about the condition there as regarding bed rock. MT. Mcclure stated that the first pier on the south side would be on it. as at that point bed rock was about twenty feet from the surface and on this side still further it takes a deep dip and could not be found though investigations were car ried on to a depth of a hundred feet. The piers that do not rest on bed rock, though. will be sunk some fifty feet, thereby giving them a firm and secure foundation.
 Mir. Mcclure returned to Tucson on the evening train last night.
