The residents of the First ju-
dicial district are anxiously await
ing the action of the governor in
appointing Judge DeFrance's sue
cessor. The appointment is to be
made today or tomorrow. There
are candidates for the position
from every county in the district,
but it appears that the race lies
between Flor Ashbaugh Of this
city and w. A. Dier of Golden.
Dier seems to have the best
chance of being appointed as he
has strong supporters and possess
es the necessary ability for filling
the Office. Ashbaugh has the en-
dorsement of no one with the ex-
ception of Vivian and how sincere
the big politician is in support of
his henchman from this section is
a question. Vivian's influence is
all Ashbaugh will have to depend
upon before the governor, and it
is not cock sure that he will have
that at the final wind-up. 1t is
very likely that the governor will
turn Ashbaugh down for the very
same reason that the voters didn't
elect him last fall-he's short on
qualifications. 1t is understood
that W. c. Matthews and Chase
Withrow are aspirants for the pos
ition. Either one of these would
make first-class judge and fur
thermore the selection of either of
the gentlemen would meet with
the approval of the Gilpin county
people and the remainder of the
district could not criticise the ap-
pointment.

1t now begins to look as though
R. A. Hall would carry his long
cherished scheme of constructing
a spur from the Moffat road to
this city into execution. Actual
work of construction has COM
menced and knowing Halls un-
firing energy and perseverance
one can hardly doubt his ability to
complete the line. He has surely
displayed the patience of Job in
promoting the project and has
demonstrated to the entire salts
faction of all that he possesses
more back bone than a dinosaur a
block long.

Attorney Hawley for the prose-

Attorney Hawley for the prose-
cution in the Meyer Haywood
Pettibone case made a statement
during the examination of one of
the jurors that will give the public
some idea of what the state will
introduce in point of evidence. He
admitted that The evidence would
be largely circumstantial. If that
is the kind of evidence the prose-
cution will have to rely upon to
convict the accused men, it is
safe to predict they will be ac-
quilted. Ii they should be found
guilty it is doubtful if they would
have to pay the penalty for the
crime with their lives. Seldom is
capital punishment inflicted where
men are convicted through cir
cumstantial evidence.

Wonder what has become of
Senator Patterson and his "Be-
tween You and Me Column" in
the Denver News? He hasn't
been heard from editorially now
for more than two weeks. If the
senator knew what relief it is to
the public to read his writings
after wading through conglom-
Grafton of words handed out by
some of the scribes in Denver who
are supposed to be writers, under
the guise of "editorial," he would
feel inclined to shorten his long
periods of rest.

The jamestown exposition from
all reports seems to be farce. 1t
was opened on the day advertised,
but at time when the buildings,
grounds and displays were unfin-
ished and incomplete. Jamestown
is small place and is not suited
through lack of hotel accommoda-
tions, poor railroad facilities, re-
mote location, for a national ex-
position of the size undertaken.
1t will require many weeks to
complete the show as the
promoters planned, if it is ever
completed. 1t is predicted that
the jamestown fair will prove one
of the most calamitous failures in
the history of expositions in this
country.

shooting and the dogs upon which
the license is not paid will serve
as the targets. We commend the
marshals determination in this
matter. The ordinances require
that owners of dogs pay taxes on
the same and it is his duty to see
that they do. If he enforces the
ordinances in every particular no
one will offer complaint. But il
he collects from some and not
from others, those who are COM

one big room having been made of the
two front rooms, the interior repapered
and repainted, linoleum placed over the

good improvements made. 1t is very
comfortable and convenient there now
and no doubt the boys will spend many
pleasurable evenings there.
A. Oates has resigned his position
with the Clark Hdw. store and has now
