ing stock market game as the short
est route to success. Morgan took

bank.

Griswold to a halt with nothing but
bundle of paper on a dozen or
more wildcat prospects.
Morgan met the inevitable fate
of the player on the wrong side of
the gaming table. One night a
year ago he arose from his seat in
the middle of the deal, his last
cent gone. He was standing in
tently watching the last turn when
Griswold approached and said:
"Bill, we are all in; what are you
going to do?"

No killing Of hOuntdin Sheep

The following statement has been
sent out by the Colorado game and fish
department to enlignten the people in
regard TO the laws on the killing of
mountain sheep;
Denver, Colo, November 90, 1906.
To The Public:
A great many inquiries having
reached this Office as to whether noun
tain sheep can be killed commencing
with the year 1907. l take this means
of informing the public of the law
governing the same. The Fourteenth
general assembly in the year 1903
made the open season on mountain
sheep having horns from October 18th
to October 25th, commencing with the
year 1907 This, however was
changed by the Fifteenth general as
sembly convening in the year 1908.
That body passed law repeating the
law of 1908, which fixed the open sea
son on mountain sheep as above set
forth, and omitted all reference to the
opob sedsou Ou lHOSe game animals,
and closed the season perpetually on
them.
Section / of Division "B'' of the
game law provides chat mo person
shall at any time of the year or in
any manner pursue, take, wound or
kill any mountain sheep
oil sell. offer or expose for
sale, or have the same in possession,
except as permitted by this Act. -
Nowhere in the Act is permission
given to kill mountain sheep.
Therefore, under the decision of the
Colorado Court of Appeals in the case
of Hornbeck vs.. White reported at
20 G. A, ID, rs P, 926, it is illegal
to kill mountain sheep until such time
as the Legislature may provide an
open season therefor.

Cupid Closes five Deals

Market steady; supply unlimited
demand, good, and daily on the in
crease
So reads the latest bulletin issneC
by the matrimonial supply company
of Garfield county. Never before has
there been such list of marriage
licenses issued near the Thanksgiving
time. and there hadn't been bank
rputsale advertised either. The
county clerk and the fair deputy were
for short time contemplating the ad
visibility of employing an extra clerk
for the sole purpose of greeting the
prospective bridegroom and preparing
for him the official document which
costs only 81 so in coin of the rea I'm
hut whole heap in nerve.
But when one comes to consider the
matter, Thanksgiving is one of the
most appropriate times in the year to
celebrate wedding. f .r he who has
much TO be thankful for wants some
appreciative soul to share the thankful
spirit and he who is in trouble wishes
companion for misery loves com
pany.'
Then those that are away from home
and family feel lonesomeness that
won't go way and they are led to
engage in state Of bliss for them
selves by creating a new homestead
and freside.
So, then, the wonder is that there
aren't more weddings about the last
week Ina November than any other
time.
Charles Fuller of Carbondale started
the fashion last Saturday when he OBJ
tanned license to marry Mrs. Julia
Wilson, also of Ca rbondale.
An Aspen couple were the uext two
made happy by the accommodating
officials at the county clerks office,
Ulysses Ruedi and Miss Catherine
Prechtel procuring their license on
Monday.
The fashion once started, the lower
part Of the county was heard from, a
license being granted Tuesday TO John
r. Munro and Miss Lillian Todd of
Rifle.
The same day Ellsworth Weller and
Miss Madge Lockard of New Castle
We're granted license to wed, and Rev.
S j. Kester performed the ceremony
which made them one.
On Wednesday AL Zerbe of Rifle
obtained the papers which permitted
him to wed Miss Nellie Finley which
ended the chapter of romances begun
Saturday.
The Post extends heartiest congrat
ulations to each of the couples and
wishes for them that every succeeding
Thanksgiving Day may be equally
happy.

| troversy, and the attitude of each of us
from its inception, to publish our entire
! correspondence in the order in which il
| has been carried on between us, in rela-
! ton to the office of register and that of
United States district attorney.
In conclusion | will say that l do not
wish to be understood as even intimating
| that you are personally taking part in
the campaign of Islander and Vilification
referred to. What | do claim is this,
that while you may be taking no active
part in what is being done along this
llne by some o! your political cOnfldants
1t is apparent that you not only approve
OF but encourage them in the course they
| have taken to get even. AS proof
that my conclusions are well founded and
my statements more than justified |
have only to refer to the fact that in the
past when members of the party absO-
lutely refrained from and refused to take
up the personal quarrels between your
self and other candidates and make of
them party issues, you sent these same
lieutenants of yours throughout the state
to malign and make all sorts of unbound
ed charges against every Republican who
had thus refused to be impressed into
your service
And as a reward for these services
which were so well and faithfully PER
formed by your walking delegates, you
procured for them high, honorable and
lucrative offices, some of which are i'm
pOrtant and responsible federal positions.
And the further fact that what is re-
puted to be and accepted here as your
personal organ is the medium through
which the dispieasure of your friends is
being manifested, warrants me in pIac-
ing the responsibility with you where il
justly and rightfully belongs. Respect-
fully, W. M. MCARTY"

Il have no interest direct or indirect
in the publication called Truth. and have
no more to do with its statements re-

ter, than yOn have had yourself. Your
reference to the paper as my personal or
gan is wholly unwarranted, because who'll
ly unfounded in fact. And know nothing
which could properly give rise to such
an idea in your mind 1t is likewise alb
SoluteIy untrue that | have ever sent any
person or intimated a desire to any per-
son to malign or speak ill of you or
anyone else, or that any person. or anv
clique or faction or publication is author
lied to speak for me in any matter what

about anybody or anything / say per-
sonally and take the responsibility for it
and YOU nor anyone else can truthfully
say that | have ever carried on a po-
litical or other contest except in the open
am not responsible and decline to be
held responsible to what anyone except
myself may say about you or anybody
else.

copies of my answers were sent to Others
except that one copy of one letter was
sent to one man, not to be shown to
others, nor with the suggestion that it
should be shown, but for a different pur-
pose entirely, which you are at liberty to
know if you have any curiosity on the
subject.

upon you which you consider unjust, and
