ESCAPED DEATH BY LEAP.
George Burns Had Narrow Escapt
 While Driving Past Magazine.

Bridgeport, Aug 1S.-George Burns, the well known member oi the contracting firm of Burns & Co had q narrow escape from fatal in juries near the magazines of the U. M. c. Co, back of the almshouse, yes terday, shortly after noon. As re- suit of his experience Mir Burns will be confined to his home for several days by injuries sustained in jumping from his carriage.
 Mir Burns was driving by one of the magazines when there was ter rife explosion. As his horse jumped he looked in the direction of the re- port. He was amazed to see a large boulder flying through the ais and on | direct line with his head. Mir Burns made a jump from the carriage fin which he was riding as the huge rock sped past him. The missile weighed at least twenty pounds and sped with force enough to partially bury itself in the earth. Fortunately. too. for Mir Burns. his horse did not run away to complicate matters. Mir Burns in falling painfully wrenched the ten- dons of his right leg. On recovering himself he found he was unable to bear his weight on his limbs. He made his way to his carriage and drove home. It was found necessary to carry him into his house on Thompson street. Dr R. A. Lock hart was called and found the ten- dons of the right leg and heel so badly wrenched that Mir Burns was poverless to use his limbs. He will be confined to the house as a result for a week. The explosion was the result of an unusually heavy blast set of in the rocks near the U. NJ. C. magazines by workmen employed to clear the site for a new magazine. The blast was poorly protected and stones flew fin every direction when it WAS set on.

SAVES FATHER FROM BULL.
Brave Twelve Years old Lad Res.
 cued Lorcna Just fin Time.

Millville, N. J., Aug 1.-The cour- age of his son, aged 12, saved Charles Lorena, Port Elizabeth farmer, from being torn to pieces by the horns of an angry bull shortly after noon yesterday. Lorena was return ing from the field to the farm house for dinner when he noticed that the bars had been lowered by one of the summer boarders. Crossing the pas ture, his big bull spied red hand kerchief on his neck. Believing and snorting, the bull charged the farmer and tossed him over his head. LOT ena fell near the fence, but before he could move he was caught on the enraged animals horns and thrown again.
 Then little George Lorena came to his fathers rescue, and. striking the bull with a pitchfork, attracted his attention while his father crawled through the fence and fell into the next field unconscious. Dr Walker and two Millville physicians hurried to the scene. They believe the man has received fatal internal injuries. He sustained serious contusions of the body and legs.

Some Stray Leaves From a Reporter's
 Note Book.

In describing her experiences at the big bargain sales in this city a few weeks ago. a well known woman says that half of her money was gone in just thirty minutes. so that she had pennies where she had dollars before, and but half as many dollars as before she had pennies. Now how much did she spend? Has any read- CT solved this problem? If SO the As You Like It man would be pleased to receive the answer.

range unbranded, but willing to
jump into the first corral where {
little feed is in sight.
OF course the "Old Guard" was
present in full force. The Graft
ers" could not miss this occasion
to again attempt to fasten theiI
tentacles upon the public teat
A. p. A. Stuart and Molletta were
the central figures. Like old Dan
Rice, when he was the greatest
circus clown in the world, they
insisted upon occupying the center
of the ring at all times and gave
an exhibition which really would
have been worth very fair admis-
sion charge.
But they were not the whole
thing. There were others, aside
from the United Grating Co., who
persisted in showing themselves to
the front and claiming recognition
as faithful disciples of the boilers
union. There was Antonio Ortiz,
who for many, many moons has
expressed the determination to
sometime, somehow or by some
means become county clerk; when
it came to persistent advocacy of
his desire for Office Antonio
wouldn't take back seat to any of
the big, shining lights. He was
out for the goods and had no hest
fancy in telling the fellows that if
he didn't get it there would be
another bolt. He knew what he
wanted and wouldn't stand for any
double-cross.
H. w. Beers was also much in
evidence. For many years he has
been hankering to learn the COM
bination to the big county safe and
have the handling of the golden

came down from the reservoir, last
night, gave the boys particular and
detailed instructions as to the
policy to be pursued-then recalled
the fact that the can (23) had been
tackled upon his person and i'm
mediately hiked for Denver.
There were no politics about

ulated even in the slightest degree
Antonio Ortiz and H. w. Beers
can testify to this. The Indepen-
dents are in the field; the men
connected with the movement have
divorced themselves-no alimony
from former obligations. They
have repudiated the children they
have created. AS political out
casts, what have they to expect?

By the "Reformers" Promptly
Nailed to the Cross

At the primaries held by the

mated as constable, and Diago

DIEGO DURAN.
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-09-28

mond called the convention to
order. There had been so much
work ION the side" that it was
necessary to withhold regular pro-
! ceedings until things We're properly
fixed to suit the gang. When they
thought they had everything pat,
the chairman was allowed to open
the proceedings.
In recognition of his great and
self-sacriticing service to the
party" and the zeal displayed in
his laborious effort to turn the
rascals out" and allow the grafters
to luxuriate in pastures from which
the people have wisely and consist
emily debarred them, the gathering
of malcontents and soreheads
promptly elected Sven Peterson
as temporary chairman. The we'll
known modesty Of Sven had pro-
hibited him from even allowing his
mind to wander in the direction of
such an honor, and he was blushing
furiously as he started to deliver a
fifteen minute typewriter extem-
poraneous address to the faithful.
When the wild enthusiasm created
had somewhat abated and the chair
man had had time to wipe the per-
spiration from his heated, throb-
bing brow, the second move on
this political chess-board was made
by naming j. G. Cantu as tenn
porary secretary. j. G. also was
surprised at such recognition of
his talent-so unexpected, you
know-but pulled voluminous
roll of paper from his pocket and
assumed the duties imposed upon
him.
The first matter up was the ap-
pointment of the various commit
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-09-28

ducats of the taxpayers. Dream
ing over the matter O nights, it has
become mania with him until he
actually imagines he is the only
piece of political driftwood fitted
to close or unlock the treasure
vaults of Conejos county. Like
Antonio, he had run the gamut of
political parties in a vain chase for
recognition and he didn't propose
to let this last desperate chance
escape.
The principal officials of the
United Grating Co. were early
upon the scene. Molletta was ac-
companied by his dome of thought,
but the railway considerably re-
Trained from charging extra ON that
account. A. P. A. Stuart was ac-
companied, at the earnest insist
ence of his friends, by a copy of
Webster's latest unabridged.
OF course w. H. Mallett, "Cha-
meleon" Braiden and D. E. New
comb were prominent in the early
stages of the gathering. These
founders of grand new party
these men who would unselfishly
sacrifice every personal desire or
interest in order to serve the people
realized that the fate of u great
commonwealth depended upon
them. And they would be equal
to the occasion. They would i'm
molate themselves upon the altar
of public service. You bet your
life they would. They were just
falling over themselves to get the
opportunity-an opportunity they
have been chasing for many weary,
lonesome years.
1t was some time past the ap-
pointed hour when Chairman Or
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-09-28

tees. the chairman naming the fol
lowing:
Organization Molletta, etc.
Candidates -Newcomb, Mallett,
etc.
1t was not necessary to name
other committees. The field was
covered etfectually.
A lunch" having been announc-
ed. hasty adjournment was taken,
the delegates not desiring to miss
anything.
At 2:30 the convention again
convened. The committee on Or
ganization presented its report,
which was accepted. The CON-
mittee on candidates stated that
after an earnest canvas of all the
apparently available material, they
had been unable to secure a ticket,
but were in hopes of influencing
someone to accept the proffered
honor. The committee asked a
little further time and this was
granted. The result appears later
in this report.
The nominations? There wasn't
much doing there. 1t was simply
a question of getting someone to
accept. You can generally find IA
plug to fit every hole but reforma-
ton plugs were in demand. 1t
would be tiresome to go into detail
and The Chronicle will simply pre-
sent the results of the deliberations
of this body of statesmen. The
ticket as named by the. .reformers is

GRAND GALAXY OF
POLITICAL REFORMERS
sWhO Are Looking for
Pure Political Pie
How my Brains" and Other
Peculiar Conditions Came to
the Front

The clans have gathered, the
agony is over and the political fate
of Conejos county has been decided.
The Office seekers have held their
convention, named the cut-and-
dried ticket upon which the move
ment was based and Slipped away
into the darkness of political obliv-
ion. For time they have fingered
in the limelight; now they are on
the road leading TO the eternal
shades.
1t was purely case of Me too,
Pete" For many years the Office
holding bee has been buzzing about
the hats of a number of would-be
prominent citizens of Conejos
county. With longing eyes they
gazed from afar upon what they
, considered their birthright; in
season and out of season they urged
the people, through the different
parties, to recognize in them the
political saviors of benighted
public. First before one party and
then another they urged the fact
that they wanted Office because
they needed it in their business.
They didn't give two whoops in
Calumet from what direction the
lightning struck, just SO it did
strike. And time and again the
people have said Nay, nay, Paul
ine." There was nothing doing in
the regular political organizations.
They refused to assume burden
so overwhelming in its weight as
to positively assure the collapse of
the political structure.
Both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis looked askance at the pre-
tentions of these little tin states
men, but the bee kept buzzing and
the drone of its monotonous music
became like incense to the ears of
this bunch of would-be servants of
the people. They had made up
Atheir minds the expression can
possibly be accepted seriously
that they were the yeast to leaven
the whole lump of political dough.
There was no salvation for the
people unless they were allowed to
draw official salaries. Not that
they wanted the money; far from
it. They had an eye single to the
protection and uplifting of the
down-trodden taxpayer.
But for some reason the people
refused to accept their overtures
seriously. In fact, their aspirations
were regarded as standing joke,
banded about from hand to hand.
So they decided to have a party of
their own and at least get nomi-
mated for an Office. That would
enable them to swell up and strut
about for brief space of time with
the consciousness that at last they
were in the public eye.
These hungry Office seekers per-
petrated the political joke of the
decade when they declared they
were still Republicans or Demo-
Gratis on state issues, and then en-
dorsed Lindsey for governor. The
real truth of the matter is that they
Shave no political faith. no concep-
ton OF realization of what political
principle means. They are mav-
ericks, chasing about on the open
