AFTER HIS SCALP.
Representative HutclesOn May Be
Asked to Resign.

Northsiders are about to petition
for the resignation of NJ. A. Hutch
eson, member of the house of repre-
sentatives from the district across the
river.
The petition is about to be circu-
lated and it is stated would be largely
signed.
Dissatisfaction at the attitude which
Hutchinson assumed on the antipass
bill-voting against the measures
the occasion of the talk of forcing a
resignation.
"A large number of the people are
not pleased with the way Hutchinson
voted on the Stone antipass BILL said
a prominent resident of North Topeka
this morning. Everyone knows that
a large majority of the people in this
district are in favor of the bill and
want to see it become a law. The talk
has reached the petition stage and
am sure that such petition would re-
ceive plenty of signatures. The petit
ton will ask for the resignation of
Mr.. Hutchinson. The people here say
that he does not represent them and
they are in favor of having him re-
sign for some one who would really
represent the wishes of the people
whom he is elected to serve.''

And now Senator Smith is framing
a scheme to get those few pennies

pay taxes along with his more pros
nervous neighbor. Heretofore the poor
man, whose shoulders are CALLED by

he had something worth paying taxes

taxes on that decrepit brass watch,

battered dinner pail he carries to and

made application for with the hon
est purpose to acquire and obtain
from his purchaser expectant, the
funds to make payment? Such
contract has been held valid even
before the vender had entered or
made application to purchase, he

In support of this section of the
opinion, Judge Lewis adds:
I'VE cannot by construction
hold the acts to be charged in vio-
lation of said statute and therefore
illegal or unlawful for the purpose
of constituting the fraud denounced
by section $40" He claims that
the entrymen are not alleged to
have been disqualified to act as en-
trymen.
The crime charged must be vio-
lative of both the words and of the
spirit and the policy of the statute"
continued Judge Lewis, and in con-
clusion says: "If we take the first
view, the charge is duplicitous,
and if the second, the prosecution
is barred. The dilemma renders
the indictment bad. The motion
and the demurrer are sustained"

INDICTMENTS AGAINST OUR ARCHULETA
COUNTY FRIENDS ARE ALL QUASHFD
U. S. Judge Robert E. Lewis States That the Acts
Charged We're Neither Unlawful Nor Immoral.
The Verdict Is Universally Praised.

Federal Judge Robert E. Lewis
administered stinging rebuke to
L. $. District Attorney f. NJ.
Crauston and the secret service
men who had succeeeed in bring
ing indictments against a number
of the most prominent business
men of Archuleta county in con-
nection with alleged timber land
frauds, when he quashed all of
said indictments at Denver last
Monday and stated that the acts
charged were neither unlawful nor
| immoral.
The [. S. district attorneys Of
fee at Denver has expended thous-
ands of dollars the past year in its
attempt to fasten crime upon these
prominent men for the sole pur-
pose of making a record, and has
resorted to methods to attain its
ends that were indeed beneath the
dignity of the mock officials of a
kangaroo court. To "a disinterest-
ed observer it was brazenly ap-
parent that justice was, not the
ends sought by the district attor-
uey's office, but a CONVICTION
of some of the most prominent
men in the state in order that its
chief might swell up with pompos-
ity and state: II did it!''
Those against whom indictments
had been brought were;
Charles d. McPhee, Denver.
John j. McGinnity, Denver.
E. NJ Biggs, Pagosa Springs.
Charles Fl. Freeman, Pagosa
Springs.
Welch w. Nossaman, Pagosa
Springs.
E. X. Caldwell, Pagosa Springs.
E. NJ. Taylor, Pagosa Springs.
Ellis NJ. Hampton, Pages
Springs
James S. Hatcher, Pagosa
Springs.
Robert E. Sloan, Pagosa Springs.
Judge Lewis main conclusions
are:
First, that the agreement be-
tween the entrymen and the de-
PENDANTS as charged in the indict-
ments, were neither void nor void
able, but were enforceable con-
tracts between the parties.
Second, that the acts charged
are neither prohibited by statute
and unlawful, not mala in Sc, nor
do they involve moral turpitude,
"hencc whether we consider them
either as means to accomplish
an end or as an end to be accom-
plished. they do not constitute
crime. The indictments. there
fore, do not charge an offence"
Further, Judge Lewis charges
duplicitv in he indictments,
claiming them therefore defect
i've and holds that the statute of
limitations repeatedly crosses al
legged offenses. He describes the
action of the pleader in charging
overt acts as attempting to toll
the limitation of the statute"
Another important defect in
the indictments, as described by
Judge Lewis, refers to the con-
struction of the charges which
does not present evidence of tam
pering with or agreement with
entrymen before the application
for land by the entrymen. He
further holds that the making of
an agreement with an entryrnan
after his application and before
the purchase, is lawful according
to the timber and stone acts.

DeBisschop owned tine grounds, so he told the boys, and ordered them off under penalty of the law.
