From Saturdays Daily Post.
Ellis Ashton Poynton, an Englishman
about 80 years of age, adopted hor-
rible method of putting an end to his
life at Newton s ranch on Roam creek
yesterday afternoon. He exploded a
dynamite cap in his mouth and his face
was almost entirely torn away. He
committed the act about 1870 O'Clock
and died about an hour later.
Deputy Sheriff Bert Cardncll brought
to Glenwood the news of the suicide
last night. Sheriff Zimmerman had
been called to the telephone by resi-
dent of DsBeque who stated that a
man at Newton S place was insane.
Cardnell was sent by the sheriff to look
into the ease. Believing that he would
have TO deal with a raving maniac,
Cardncll took shackles and handouts
with him. At DeBeque, however, he
soon learned that he would not need
the irons and that the case was one to
be handled by the coroner and not by
the sheriff. Pointon died shortly after
the arrival of the deputy. He had been
taken by George Newton from the
ranch into DcBeque and the doctor was
unable to do anything for him. Twice
on the road Pointon wrote request for
water and only with the greatest diff
Guilty was he able to swallow the fluid
when it was given to him. The man
was unquestionably insane at the time
he decided to put period to his ex-
istence. He went to work for Newton
about two months ago. He was quite
deaf, though he could speak well and
employed the best of English. He con-
stantly labored under the hallucination
that people were pursuing him and in
tending to hang him. Newton usually
carried on communication with the man
by writing, as Pointon could scarcely
hear 4 word.

TROUBLE OVER DEER HEADS.

Frank Hayes, taxidermist, is in
trouble over large number of deer
heads which were turned over to him to
be mounted Game Warden Gordon, it
was reported this morning, had seized
wagon load of the heads in the vicin
itv of New Castle. The controversy
over the possession of the relies was
due to the failure of Hayes, so it is un
derstood, to obtain duplicate tags. The
hunters who killed the animals used up
their tags in shipping the carcasscs and
this left no duplicates to be placed on
the heads. Gordon and Hayes are
both out of town today, and the full de
tails of the case could not be obtained
on that account.

causes the oil to penetrate the wood to
the desired depth. The wood to be
treated should be air seasoned.
Douglas fir is a dense timbr, and the
heartwood is very difficult to penetrate
successfully with preservative, but usu-
ally pole has zone of sapwood which
is thick enough and can be impregnated
with enough presrvative to greatly in
crease the natural life of the pole.
However, in the Rocky mountain re
gion it is not necessary to confne at
tcntion to Douglas fir. Large supplies
of lodgepole pine are available. This
is called an "inferior' timber, because
it is not as durable when placed in the
ground as the more resinous Douglas fir.
Lodgepole pine is cheaper than Douglas
fir, is lighter. and therefore easier to
transport and embodies all of the requi-
sites of an ideal pole timber, with the
one exception of susceptibility to rapid
decay. This, however, can be easily
overcome by proper preservative treat
ment. The porous nature of the wood
makes it easy to treat. BY the injee-
tion of proper amount of preservative
a lodgepo!e pine pole can be made to
last twenty years or more, at a small
cost.
There are large areas of lodgepole
pine in which the trees have been fire
or insect killed. A great deal of timber
has been standing in this condition for
a long time. 1t is for the most part
sound and exceptionally well seasoned,
and consequently in excellent condition
for preservative treatment. 1t can be
secured at a lower price than green tim
her of the same species, and for pole
purposes is just as good, if not better
When properly treated with wood pre-
servative it can be employed for poles in
lessening the drain upon the more ex-
pensive species, such as Douglas fir.
The government considers investiga.
tions of this preservative treatment
of such Importance that the business of
one branch of a bureau in the depart
mcnt of agriculture-the Coffee of
wood preservation in the forest scrv-
ice-is given over entirely to the work
of experiments in cooperation with
railroad companies, mining corporations
and individuals in prolonging the life
of railroad ties, mine props, bridge tim
bcrs and transmission poles.

VERDICT FAVORs
MRS. MCCARTHY.

AT the conclusion of their delibera.
tions, which lasted about an hour, last
evening the jurors who listened to the
evidence in the county court bearing on
the sanity of Mrs. Mary Mccarthy,
turned in a verdict in favor of the de.
fendant Mrs. Mccarthy was immedi-
ately acquitted and permitted to re-
turn to her home on Grand avenue.
Those who testified for the state told
of several instances of the strange ac-
tions of the woman. According to the
Jury, however, these actions did not
constitute insanity. Mrs. Mccarthy
while in court appeared to be as sane
as anyone present. She was defended
by Attorney c. w. Darrow, who charged
no fee for his services.

HUNTERS DISBANDING.

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
Among the many hunters who packed
up and left the hills at the close of the
open season for deer are William Nichol
and John Helfert. They came home
last night from Thirteen Mile creek up
in the Meeker country where they
brought down two large bucks.
"While we were there said IIclfert
this morning, "There were at least
thirty camps within radius of half a
mile of us. Beginning early in the
morning there was regular lombard
ment of guns and it is estimated that

DENY VIOLATION OF GAME LAWS

An exciting bear and deer hunt came
to an end few days ago when F. NJ
Carnegie, nephew of Andrew Carnegie,
accompanied by II. Whitney and II. H
Benedict, Jr.. started for Glenwood.
They arrived at the Glenwood hotel
last night with their guide, Jno. Warner.
The party was out for a period of 3S
days. AL Anderson and Charles Baxter
went along as assistant guides. The
whole crowd was arrested October by
Game Warden Jim Bush, and placed on
trial before Justice Scott at Williams
Fork. They were accused of killing
deer for bear bait, but Bush was unable
to make good his accusations and the
defendants were exoncrated.
AS Whitney, Carnegie and Benedict
are all members of prominent sporting
clubs in the East, their arrest was par.
ticularly humiliating to them. Today
they are engaged in preparing affidavits
which show conclusively that their ar.
rest was unjust and without provoca
ton. The deer in question were killed
before they got into the country, as
they will show by witnesses.
The party, after leaving Glenwood,
crossed the Williams Fork of the Bear
river, thence to Deep creek, Routt
county, and returned by way of Steam
boat. They killed only seven deer, all
of them bucks, though under their Ii
censes they were allowed ten, and those
they brought down were consumed in
camp.
They bagged four bears, three browns
and one black. The second brown bear
put up terrific battle, and disabled
"Flip,' one of the best dogs in the
pack. The hunters are more than
pleased with their trip. and but for
their unlucky experience with the game
warden, say it was the "time of their
lives.'

SUICIDE At NEWT0N'S RANCH
E1hs Ashton Pointon Exp|odes Dynamite Cap
in His Mouth and Dies Without Leaving
Any Message to His Relatives

Newton wrote him stating that if he
had committed any crime for which he
should be hanged. he had better get out
of the country, but at the same time
assured him that there was no one in
the vicinity of the ranch who had de-
signs upon his life.
''But / am going to die," shouted
Pointon
Well, go and dig grave for your
self,' wrote Newton in reply. He took
the matter as a joke, but it turned out
to be only too serious. A notebook
found in one of the pockets of the
clothes of the dead man contained a
number of names and addresses, among
them being that of May Ethel Parkam,
whose residence is given as Spring
street, Grand Junction. Various form
ulae in the same notebook suggested
that Pointon had been a chemist or an
inventor and there was letter from
the editor of an inventors magazine
advising Pointon to subscribe for the
Publication.
Pointon was much disturbed in mind
yesterday morning. Shortly after noon
he went into shed near the ranch
house and some time afterwards Newton
heard report like that of a revolver.
In the shed he found Pointon, who pre-
sented horrible appearance, his nose,
lips and teeth having been blown away.
Hurricdly the ranchcr removed the dy
ing man to DeBeque.
Among the effects of the deceased
was n confirmation certificate, part of
which is missing. 1t shows, however,
that Pointon was admitted to contir-
nation in an Episcopal church in this
country, having taken a letter from a
church of the same denomination in
England. He stated at one time that
he had n brother who is deaf, but the
address of this brother is not known.
Evidently the man died penniless.

NEW RULING BY
LAND COMMISSIONER

| Washington, Oct. 2l.-The following
by Land Commissioner Ballinger:
'By circular instructions just issued
the commissioner of the general land
office, with the approval of the secre
tarv of the interior. has advised all 10
cal land Offices of change in ruling
with regard to homestead entries com
muted to cash under the communication
clause of the homestead laws.
at was believed that under the old
construction of the Communication pro
vision, which recognized constructive
residence, persons desiring to secure
public lands for speculative purposes
We're furnished with inducements and
facilities not found under other land
laws and that n large percentage OF
homestead entries commuted to cash
were in their first inception, made fol-
the purpose only of securing title to
the land and not with a view of obtain
ing home for the sole use and benefit
of the cntryman, which was the primary
object of the homestead law.
"By the ruling just announced, nc
commutation proof offered under n
homestead entry made on or after Nov
|, 1907, will be accepted unless such
proof shows that the entryman has, in
good faith, actually resided upon and
cultivated the land embraced within his
entry for the full period of fourteen
months, thus doing away with the con
structive residence heretofore recog
nized.
'The ruling just announced, how
ever, will not affect homestead entries
made previous to Nov. | and commuted
to cash, if when proof is made it is sat.
isfactorily shown that the entrymau
established actual residence on the land
embraced within his entry within six
months after date of entry, in which
case he may be credited with con.
structive residence from the date of
entry, but in this connection the entry
man must show that residence once es.
tablished was maintained in good faith
for such period as when added to the
period of constructive residence, will
equal the full period of IA months
residence required under the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead act.
Communication proofs will not be ac.
cepted when they fail to show that the
required residence and cultivation was
continued to the date on which the ap.
plication to make sueh proof was filed
in the local land office.
at is the belief of the commissioner
of the general land Office that the strict
construction of this rule will reduce
speculation in this class of entries and
reserve for the bona tide home builder
all land suitable for agricultural pur
poses. -
