The law provides that registration be
held before each election and also that
the county clerk take charge OF all

Terence and two of the men already
chosen were excused and the Jury
again lacked two. The men excused
were the son of John Brisban Walker

men in the box. Their retirement
was not surprise. but it put back the
expected opening of District Attorney
Jerome. who will not now speak until
tomorrow, possibly not until Saturday
The proceedings this morning were
lacking in any sensational incidents.
The juryman chosen today was Oscar
A. Pike, salesman.
A panel of 100 new talesmen ap-
peared in response to orders issued
yesterday. The defendant appeared
confident today that he would witness
the real beginning of his trial, and had
evidently steeled himself for the or

OLD LOUT
MINE HAS
BEEN SOLD

Silverton. Feb. The Old Lon,
mine, In Poughkeepsie gulch, was sold
yesterday by the San Juan Home
Mining company TO the Crawford
combination. The price Is not stated.
II Is only known that $1,000 was paid
over as first payment.
The Old Lout is one Of the oldevt
OF san Juan producers. In 1878 sew
9ral of Its men coming to the sur
face of the mine were caught by q
snowslide and killed. That was the
winter in which 176 men were killed
by snowslides in the San Juan and
Gunnison sections.
The mine has produced approximats-
ly a half million dollars, and though
IL has been idle for long time, haa
been regarded as one of the best on
the shelf for a quarter century.
The Crawford syndicate has ample
capital for development and the prop
erty will no doubt be restored this
year to the shipping list OF mines.

Telluride. Jan. 31.-An accident. the
most disastrous and peculiar in the
history of the Rio Grande Southern
! railway, occurred yesterday evening
before O'Clock. A freight pulled by
engine No. 10, the best In the sys-
tenn, ran away at keystone hill. de-
molishing FIVE Of the cars to kindling
and wrecking the engine. The train
started out of Telluride with seven
loads and ten empties, but on account
OF the air brakes working badly, drop
ped the ten empties above Keystone
at siding. OF the crew only the
names of A. l.. Delos, conductor. and
Grant Farrar, engineer, have been
learned, but in the wonderful wreck.
age none Of the crew were injured.
II was fortunate that the ten empties
had been dropped. The loads were six
OF ore and concentrates and one of
merchandise. Between these and the
caboose was fianger. Neither of the
latter left the track. but the balance
is sorry sight. Concentrates and
ore are scattered all over the noun
tain side. The concentrates are esti-
mated to be worth s2,500 per car
ha Of
ed seventy 50-pound boxes of giant
powder, was little injured, as the
powder did not explode.
This is the Telluride branch of the
Southern between Telluride and Vance
Junction, where connection is made
with the main line west. The train
was going down hill on a slippery
track with A per cent grade when
the accident occurred.
The property loss will be great.
When the engineer and fireman saw
they had 10 lose the train they jumped,
but Conductor Delos went over his |
train trying to set the brakes. none Of |
which would work. and had reached
the caboose when the climax came.
The engine. instead of going down |
in the gulch, veered up hill, against |
the bank, but 1t is wreck, so /
rapid was its speed down hill that 1t
must wreck of its own force. 1t is |
thought the train was running be- |
tween fifty and sixty miles an hour
when the wreck occurred. having run |
a mile down hill.
Neither the northern or eastern |
trains could get in last night and |
transfers were made for both by |
sleighs from Vance Junction, carrying
passengers and baggage. reaching
town at late hours.
Telluride made connection at Vance
Junction this morning for the north
or Denver. but had no engine to send |
out to Durango, so that place will not
get through train from Telluride
today. Grant Sanders was called in
with his passenger engine to relieve
the situation at the wreck.
Several rails were broken where the
wreck occurred, and 1t will require
about fifty new ties and the spikes to
replace the track. Repairs will prob
ably be made SO that trains can come
in this evening or sometime tonight.
The Southern Is very short OF mo-
tive power here, which becomes evi.
dent through this accident. Had 1t j
been a passenger train instead OF the /
lucky freight the carnage may be
1t is the worst accident /
ever occurring On the most difficult |
road to operate in Colorado.

Sentiment In the Wedding.

Very few persons have the cour-
age to be married quietly, without
fuss or expense. Men have some
times gone through the ceremony
and left their wives at the church
door. But in such cases the mar
riage was one Of compulsion or
state necessity and in nowisc af-
fected the general custom. The old
fashion of the posy ring, given on
the wedding day, was pretty, and
these rings, with their quaint con-
ceits and affectionate notices, arc
now eagerly sought after as curiosi-
ties. In these prosaic times lovers
no longer share broken coins or
the halves of locket or give min
iatures to wear around the neck, as
even George ", that heartless and
selfish monarch, did, being buried
with the picture Of Mrs. Fitz-Her-
bert hanging on his breast. Little
items of sentiment are gradually
disappearing, but not the fine
clothes, the parade, the extrava-
gance, the crowds and the cham

McsquitoIess Cities.

Over in Europe there are many
happy towns where the note of the
mosquito is never heard, and the in
habitants don't care snap about
the pennyroyal market. But in
America the cities which can claim
to be mosquitoless would not run up
to a dozen. Denver is one of them,
and, strange to say, Grand Rapids,
Mich, only a short way from the
gnat Gehennas of Lake Superior, is
another. The explanation is that
the city is built on hillocks of drift
sand, so deep and SO finely pulver-
lied that they absorb moisture like
tissue paper. Stagnant water does
not get ghost of a chance to accu-
mulate, and mosquitoes have car
ried their cargo of microbes to more
congenial markets. = Health Gull

A Mathematical Wonder.

Jedediah Buxton was the great,
est prodigy of mathematics that
ever appeared in England. His ed
ucation was very limited, and he
had never been taught arithmetic or
indeed any branch of mathematics,
so that his abilities in this respect
were peculiarly natural. He would
walk over piece Of land and tell
with exactness how many acres and
square rods were contained in it.
His memory was SO great that while
resolving question he could leave
off and resume the occupation again
the next morning or a week, a
month or several months later and
proceed regularly till it was COM
