Between and O'Clock this morn
Ing the electric clock and electric light
wires got crossed and the short cir
cult put the clocks out of commission.
The clock in Barney Bdelman's place
made such racket that it woke him
and he went downstairs to see what
was wrong. He tried to disconnect
the circuit, but couldn't. and called
Thos. Lefever, who has charge of the
clocks. Mr.. Lefever went over and in
attempting to break the connection
touched live wire and got the full
charge. He caught the top of the
clock and hung on yelling for Barney
TO pull him loose, which he did and
Edelman, Lefeyer and the clock all
went tumbling to the floor, the two
on top of Barney, whose right side
struck the edge of a cigar case. from
which he received painful though not
serious injury. Both men are suffer-
Ing considerable pain today, but ex-
pect to be around in a few days.
The circuit was not righted until about
I o'clock this morning.

Cicero Poore was up before Police
Judge Houx yesterday afternoon,
charged with carrying concealed weap-
ons. He plead guilty and was fined
$40 and costs. If the marshal will
make his crusade against the pocket
pistol men general he will be doing
good work. There are good many
men who think they are bad men when
they have six-shooter In their hip
pocket. There Is no more excuse for
man to carry pistol in Durango
than there is for him to have a body
guard, besides he is liable to shoot
himself. OF course, we are aware
or any other officer to search every
man he thinks has a pistol, nor is 1t
| a pleasant matter to search anybody,
but it is generally known that certain
men habitually carry guns, and these
are the fellows who need a lesson
| also. If 1t is necessary for man to
| carry gun to protect his life or
property he can easily secure permit
by applying to the proper authorities
| and giving his reasons.
