CANON CITY HUNTERS KILL
LOT OF BIG GAME

Will Veatch, OF the Star restaurant,
and his brother. J. D. Veatch, OF Pipe
stone, Minnesota. returned home on
Thursday morning from a most sue
cesssful hunting trip in the western
part OF the state. They were gone about
three weeks and spent the greater part
OF the time in the remote and more
inaccessible portions OF Garfield and
Rio Blanco counties, having packed
into the interior OF the country from
Rifle a distance Of fully a hundred
miles.
They took with them eleven head of
horses and burros to carry their camp
outfit. which was necessarily heavy
Oh account OF the elaborateness Of the
expedition. They employed the services
OF two guides at Rifle and took with
them a pack OF eight dogs. one OF
which died while they were out In the
mountains. The first week or ten days
they found but little game. but they
were not discouraged as they had de-
termined to succeed II they had to
stay out all winter to do SO.
While hunting high up in the hills
one day. at an elevation OF between
completely enveloped with clouds.
which settled about them in such a
way as to render II impossible to see
more than a few yards In any direction.
The guides. as we'll as the brothers.
lost all sense OF direction and the pros
pect was good for spending the night
there in n snowstorm. which was not
very alluring in consideration of the
fact that the temperature was very
cold. Happily. the fog lifted before
dark and they were permitted to make
their way back to camp where they
could enjoy comfortable night, In
stead II tramplng about until daylight
to keep from freezing to death.
The last few days OF their outing
they killed a large amount OF game
and brought back with them some Of
the finest peltry seen here In long
time. The skins. which are still In
prime condition. have n market value
OF between two hundred and fifty and
three hundred dollars They will be
sent to a taxIdermist and kept by the
Messrs. veatch as trophies OF their
hunt on the western slope. In addition
to several Jack rabbits and such other
small game as the law permits to be
shot at this season Of the year. they
killed n large black bear. two noun
tain lions. five bob cats. or lynx. n
coyote and porcupine Despite the
hardships of the trip the hunters en-
joycd II greatly and its recollection
will long be a source OF pleasure to
them.

HIS DUTIES WITH LYCEUM
BUREAU ARE AGREEABLE

W. c. Thomas. of the Chautauqua
department OF the Redpath Lyceum
Bureau left at noon today after having
spent Sunday with his wife and family
here. Mr. Thomas is a sort Of bird of

the bureau and travels over a wide
range OF country, although he is at
present devoting most OF his time to
Colorado. He says that it is probable
that he will be able to put several new
Chautauqua Assemblies in Colorado

or nine of them in this state under the

MEN LODGED IN JAIL

Elmer Wells, william Brown, John
Thomas, and Sam johnson were ar
raigned before Justice Logan Friday
afternoon charged with assault with
intent to murder Jas. H. Carmack. on
South Ninth street about week ago.
The evidence against the defendants
was not sufficiently conclusive to con-
vict them on the accusation for which
they were arraigned and they were
tried for simple assault and adjudged
guilty. Then punishment was fixed at
ten days in the county Jail. All parties
to the proceeding are colored and the
complainant is a paroled convict. Car

MIR. JONES TALKS ABOUT
WHEEL RIDING
Canon City, Colo, Dec. /. 1907

Canon City, Colo. Dec. l. 1907.
Guy U. Hardy. Proprietor Canon City
Record:
Dear Sir-On last Saturday while
driving down River street l met with
an accident which might have resulted
seriously but l escaped with a few
burises. A boy about IA years old was
riding a wheel. He ran into my little
horse full force which caused her to
veer sideways and the buggy up set
and | was thrown to the ground with
considerable force. This boy l talked
with afterwards and he told me he
was only learning to ride wheel and
could not control 1t, The boy and
young men also play football on River
street, especially on Saturdays. l like
to see all boys and girls and everybody
enjoy themselves but it seems to me
that II any one is practicing to ride
wheel or playing football, they should
select some other place than the main
streets of the city.
Respectfully.

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT By
BELLS OF DARkTOWN

The entertainment given at the opera
house Wednesday by the Bellies OF
Darktown Minstrels was much enjoyed
by those having the good fortune to
be present, although the attendance
was not as large as the splendid char
acter Of the performance deserved.
The program was thoroughly new
and up to date and its rendition af-
forded its patros an evening OF nrst
class amusement, in fact. 1t was very
generally conceded to have been super
ior in all respects to the majority OF
itinerant minstrel troupes that visit
this city. It was given under the direc-
ton and patronage Of the members
of Canon City Chapter. No. 81. Order of
the Eastern Star, and was for the pur-
pose OF raising money to pay for the
very pretty band stand built at their
instance In the city park last summer.
Its erection was . public spirited act
and cannot receive to much praise and
commendAtion. Everybody that visits
the park will share In its benefits and
appreciate its beauty. On that account
the success OF the entertainment at
the opera house Monday night was Of
more than unusual concern to the COM
munity.
The Bellies Of Darktown Minstrels
were organised and drilled by Miss
Daisy Hall, an expert In that line Of
work. and the program was given un-
der her personal supervision and dir
sction. Miss Hall was here caly ten

free transportation, not only during the session
OF The Legislature but for the full two years Tor
which they are elected The railroads would
certainly resist such plan. ia our opinion it
would be far better tor The Legislature 10 tax
the railroads proper amount and then pay the
necessary transportation. The people do not OBJ
sct to paying the proper expenses Of their pub
lie officials. Had that plan been in vogue in
Delaware the Pennsylvania railroad would not
to-day be paying $4,000 in lieu of all other
taxes" and which amount was fixed about thirty
years ago, since which time the property valua-
ton and earnings Of the company have increas-
ed perhaps ten fold. We can see no reason why
legislators and judges should ride on railroad
passes, for it is unreasonable to suppose they
do so without feeling under obligation to the
companies and a disposition to favor them in
matters of legislation and litigation.
When that measure comes before the Legisla-
ture we would like to see it amended so that the
railroads would be compelled to pay an increased
and proper amount of taxes and then for the
states officials to pay for all their necessary trav
cling. Such law would be not only constitu-
tiona but, would meet with the favor of the
people

ABOUT TO PAY THE PENALTY.

= CONGRESSMAN JOHN SHARP WILL
- LIAMS is about to pay the price of dis
agreeing with the radical views of William Jen-
nings Bryan on the public ownership of railroads
and other matters. For years Mr. Williams has
been the leader of the Democratic min
ority in Congress- and in that capacity
has shown a great deal of force. He is
one OF the abest members OF the House
and his forceful way of expressing his views has
placed him in the highest class of statesmen. Be
it said to his credit, he is not in accord with Mr.
Bryan on some public questions, and being a
fearless we'll as able man he did not hesitate to
express his opinion. His opponents seized The op-
portunity to start a fight against him as the min
ority leader in the House, and the indications
now that he will be deposed and Champ Clark
of Missouri selected to succeed him.
The managers of the Free Zoo Association
are TO be congratulated upon the great success
Of the Professor Napoleon performances, both
from financial and artistic point of view The
production was most commendable and great
praise belongs TO the men who staged it. We
cannot recall ever having seen a more finished
and enjoyable local performance There was a
wonderful display of both excellent talent and
careful training. We are pleased that the public
was so generous in its patronage, and we hope
the net receipts exceeded both the needs and ex-
pectatons of the association
