Sol Bacharach is still doing business
at the old stand.
John G. Jenkins went to Denver this
morning over the Gilpin & Clear Creek
District railway. He returned in the
evening over the Colorado Il Southern
His object in returning by different
route was to get change Of scenery.
A little girl had narrow escape from
being killed at the Teller house this
morning. She was in room on the
fourth floor when her little brother who
was playing about happened to stick his
tongue against the steam radiator, it
Immediately becoming frozen to the
iron. He was unable to loosen his ton
que apd his sister seeing his predica-
ment rushed out into the hall to sum
mons aid. In her excitement she didn't
notice that the door OF the elevator cage
had been left open by the careless boy
who operates the car and plunged head
first down the shaft. Fortunately the
elevator was standing at the third floor
and she landed on top which made the
fall only ten feet. She was slightly in
jured. Her little brother managed 20
work loose from the radiator by sacri.
ficing his tongue.

Judge NJ. Maymon OF the First Judi
cial District while seated iu the rotunda
OF the Teller house last evening and be
ing in reminiscent mood unwound a
string Of his past history, showing the
rapio strides he had made in his judc-
ial career in thirty years. Thirty one or
two years ago Judge Maymon received a
start which eventually landed him in
the high and exalted position he is now
holding. At that time he was appointed
justice OF the peace by the county com
missioners vice Judge Hatch, resigned.
From the very start in his humble pos
ition Judge Maymon paved his way to
future greatness. AS justice OF the
peace he gave the high est OF satisfaction.
His decisions were not only fair and i'm
partial but were rendered in strict ac-
cordance with the law. From justice OF
the peace he was elected to the county
iudgeship and after serving efficiently
in that capacity was elected district
Judge. Many OF his political friends are
booming him for the supreme bench,
but the old man opposes it, claiming
that at the expiration of his present
term he shall retire from public life.
Capt. NJ. X. Sullivan, the old Repub-
Iican war horse is getting his forces in
line to sweep the city in the spring ell
ection. The gentleman claims his party
will be victorious beyond doubt II
his prediction comes true it will be the
first time the city has had Republican
administration in thirty years.
The county commissioners are think.
ing OF either enlarging the court house
or building new one entirely with suf.
ficient room to enable the officials to
handle the large volume of county bus
mess with eSpediency. II the board de-
will be built on the lots where stands
the present one. Indeed, the lots are
too valuable to sell or abandon.
About thirtyeigh years ago they were
purchased from Senator Teller and Oh
the property stood the residence he had
occupied while a resident OF Cen.
trail City. 1t was an old and dilapi.
dated house, but it was like breaking
home ties for the Senator to part with
1T. After much persuasion and with
eyes filed with tears he agreed to sell.
The tears he shed over the transaction
were copious and very profitable. 1t is
estimated that each tear which rolled
down the Senator's wrinkied cheeks
cost the taxpayers OF the county S1.OO.
In all eight thousand tears we've shed by
the venerable old statesman which
brought the price Of the lots up to
$4,000. In consideration of the aid the
citizens lent him in gaining prominence
and everything else which he possessed
at the time, he could well have afforded
to give the county the lots az present.
But, no, not he. He wasn't built that
way.
Thomas Cody was an arrival today.
He came from Dever over the Colorado
4 Southern cannon ball." and covered
the distance Of forty miles In little over
an hour. Considering the necessary
stops and the fact that three hot boxes
had to be cooled, Mr.. Cody regarded 1t
as very good time.
1t is q pleasure to the citizens to be
able to board the g. G, @. d. r. X.
