ANOTHER WRECK LAST NIGHT
Freight Cnrs Jump the Track near
Cameo and Assist in De-
laying Traffic.

Last night about. seven O'Clock
there was n pretty bad wreck, few
miles above Palisade. Mt Cameo. IL
was reported that several cars OF a
freight train jumped the track and
got twisted In such a manner that
traffic was completely blocked for
some hours A wrecking train was
called from this city and was soon on
the scene clearing the track and
shortly after midnight the way had
been opened. This was about the tif-
tn wreck that occurred on the Rio
Grande and Rio Grande Western
systems within "a hours.
The freight wrecks on the western
were not all cleared away until a
very late hour last night. Yesterday
mornings east bound passenger train
No. did not get in until about three
o'clock this morning and No. O due
early last night came I'm behind IT.
There were three freight wrecks be-
tween here and Salt Lake city No.
which went west from here yester-
day afternoon was tied up on this
side OF the wrecks for many hours.
The traffic on the Western Is not yet
down to normal conditions. No. 4 this
morning was about eight hours late;
From all accounts the Rio Grande
Western tracks are in bad condition
in many places and some Of the old
wrecks under the circumstances are
not to be unlocked for at any time.
Owing to the scarcity of cars as
a result of the many trains from the
west being held uD by wrecks the
Colorado Midland did not send train
east from this city yesterday after
noon as usual.

From year to year Il seems that
the May Day balls given under the

enjoyable than the preceding one.
Nearly five hundred people partici-

The program opened with beau

delightful feature.
There was no grand march but
Immediately succeeding the May pole
dance the dancing program was OPEN
ed In earnest and continued for many
hours. There were over 175 coupl-
es on the floor at once several times
during the evening. The music was
furnished by Boyer's orchestra and
was of most satisfactory and pleas
ing variety and quality.
All during the evening the ladies
OF ST. Matthews guild served delicious
punch and at midaight they provld-
ed a most tempting supper on the
big stage. The refreshment tables
were literally patronized and the
menu was pronounced as superb by
all.
The crowd was as congenial as It
could be, a nicer, merrier crowd has
never been seen at a local dance.
Everybody seemed to get full mea-

II was long after midnight when

a most interesting public statement.
They deview their case up to date,
speak of being confined in jall fifteen
months without a trial and refused
pail and then refer TO the efforts of
President Roosevelt, Governor Buch-
tel, to influence public opinion against
them. This they declare is unfair
to any man who must be tried by
fellow countrymen If tried at all. The
statement Is quite lengthy. In one
place 1t says:
After ali this time our case is
about to be brought up and the pres
ident of the United States, in no way
interested, sends two letters broad
cast over the country charging us
with guilt and crime. These are pub
lished in all papers. The governor of
Colorado, day or two later adds his
words of spite to the venom of the
president and says that we are not
only guilty of the crime charged, but
of many others"
while the president of the Unit
ed States and the governor of Colo
rado are sending out their statements
to compass our death, the Judge of
this county has brought a citizen be
fore him for contempt on the charge
that he tried to influence the mind
of a prospective Juror by saying that
in court the judge promptly told the
the state was trying to railroad US
"On the appearance of this man
states attorney that he should have
thss obscure farmer indicted for
felony because he tried to influence
the mind of a prospective juror.
The president knows how much
greater weight will be given to his
words than those of an obscure pri-
vate citizen. If VIC are to be tried
in court every law abiding citizen,
however. gerat or humble should do
everything in his power to control
his passions. If we are to be thrown
into a mob, the officers should at
least open our prison doors and give
US some .citizen5s rights to defend
