A DePLoRABLE TRAGEDY.


The killing of Joseph a. Walker by
Joseph Vanderweide at the Hesperus
mine Sunday morning is one of the
most deplorable tragedies that ever
came as shock 10 Durango people.
There can be no denying the bad i'm.
preston it will create among out
sldcrs who do not know our people.
That Mr Walker stood high among his
co-govefnment officials no one will
deny. aud Durango people considered
him an upright, conscientious official
looking after the interests OF The gov
ernment. On the other hand William
Mason has been one of our honored
citizens for nearly quarter pf cen
inry aud we have yet to hear of one
word against him during this time
aud his dealings have been honorable
and his word good, and Mr.. Wander
weide has always borne good repu-
taiion That conflicting statements
will arise cannot he donbted. The
matter. however. Is in the hands of
the court and court officials. and II Is
