duced
What really happened was this. Sen
ator Borah, who was not even known to
have been in the city was introduced
to the association and he at once sug.
gested that the organization take steps
to push the prosecution of George A
Pettlbone. One of the methods sug-
gested by which the association could
assist in this matter was for the or
gani2ation to pledge itself to take up
the certificates of Indebtedness issued
by the state of Idaho to cover the ex-
pensc of the prosecution.
This suggestion did not appear to
meet with favor and then Mr.. Borah
Offered another one to the effect that
the association use its influence to have
Steve Adams brought back to Colorado
and tried, either for the blowing up of
the Nindicator mine in which Beck and
Mccormack lost their lives or for the

While it is known that both of these
mattcrs were brought before the associ-
alton by Mr.. Borah it is not known
what action was taken, for while all
the caution adopted was not sufficient
to keep the purpose of Senator Borah s
visit q secret beyond today the action
of the association is still carefully
guarded and none can be found who
VIII 'onfess to any action taken by
the association upon the senator's sug-
gestions, although it is admitted that if
either suggestion is adopted it will
probably be the latter. 1t is generally
conceded that it would be but an equt
able division of the responsibility for
Idaho to prosecute Pettibone for the
crime committed in that state and that
Colorado seek to punish Adams for the
crimes for which he is believed to have
been responsible in Colorado.

PRINTER MEETS
FATAL ACCIDENT
Found Beside Railway Track
Unconscious from Wound
in His Head
May HAVE Been ASSAULTED

c. R. Huffman, travelling printer,
who has been stopping in Glenwood the
freight train yesterday afternoon near
Silt and received injuries from which
it is almost certain he will die.
Huffman had been drinking almost
continually since reaching Glenwood
and left here in an intoxicated condi-
tion. He and a companion printer
climbed aboard west bound fast
freight about 3 o'clock getting be
tween separate ears.
At Silt the traInmen on No. 81 pick
ed Huffman up in an unconscious con
dition and took him to Rifle. DR.. w.
l.. LeRossigno, who had been notified
brought the unfortunate man to Glen
wood on Midland lO6 and DR.. Rosen-
berg assisted by DIR. LeRossignol and
DR.. Wiesel operated They found a
badly fractured skull with the brain
matter ooZing ont \ large piece was
cut out of the skull and splinters of
bone We're picked out of the brain.
Everything was done that was posi-
BILE, but the doctors claim there is al
most no show at all for the man to
recover
Huffman had but recently come from
Chicago where he worked several years
at his trade. In Colorado he worked in
Denver and Colorado Springs before
coming here. He is 33 years of age and
it is understood has relatives in Chi
cago and at Clinton Illinois.

The Glenwood post., 1907-08-10

Was c. R. Huffman, intinerant print
er, injured by an accident while beat
ing his way from Glenwood to Grand
Junction, as at first supposed, or is he
the victim of a deadly assault by some
person or persons unknown to the
police?
This is question that may never be
answered, for the attending physicians
give out little or no hope of Hufman's
recovery, and it does not appear prob
able at this time that he will ever re
gain consciousness sufficiently to tell
the story of his mshap. 1t is not even
probable that Huffman himself knows
anything about it, for it is known that
he left here in an intoxicated condi-
tion, and he was picked up beside the
railway tracks only short while later
with his skull crushed and his brains
oozing out.
Huffman is now at the county hos
pital. and while he was partially con
scious Thursday his condition was not
Sucn lnat he cOulu converse lnltlllgenl-
ly. 1t is not believed that he will ever
be able to do so now.
Huffman and n companion had just
left the employ of The Post, and both
of them had been paid up in full for
their work, having but small amount
of money due them, however. Huffman
owned a watch. which he is thought to
have taken with him when he left
town Nothing is know of it now. He
is said to have had no money on his
person when picked up.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
whether he fell off the train as at first
supposed, for it is believed that when
he left here he got inside y box car, his
companion getting into another car.
The possibility of his having been as
saulted by someone is pointed out by
those who knew him. 1t is further
pointed out that if Huffman got into a
car with some one else it would have
been an easy matter, in his drunken
condition, for the OF her to have Drained
him and thrown his body off the car.
As already stated, the matter may
never be cleared up fully.

Some time ago we read an article
on the promiscuous use of coal oil in

said it should never be used internally

it should not be used about the face.

to use it as "sure- -all' It is very

Did you try to caponize any of your
eockerels this year? You should, if for
no other reason than to know how. The
day of capons is close at hand. This
controversy over the "she' stuff of
cattle has given people taste of bet
ter meat generally and at cost far
less than they had expected. Capons
will soon come into general use, and in
stead of selling roosters for 7 and 8
cents pound, you should be selling ca
pons at 90 and 25 cents pound. Buy
a set of tools and practice on two or
three of your late Matched birds.

DOG GOES 500 MILES ALONE.
Collie Didn't Like His New Home and
Found His Way to His Old Master.

Flio way 10 Sl0 "dokCTs
Thin and gaunt. and with no other
instinct to guide him save the memo
ry Of warm kennel, good food and
an occasional caress, little Scotch
collie dog, said to belong to a man at
Valentine, Neb., returned 500 miles
to its former master in Des Moines.
So wabbly and weak was the dog that
had II not been for a glad light of rec
ognition that sprang into his eyes as
his former master opened the door, he
might have been driven from the
premises.
Just how long the dog was making
the distance has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but with unerring instinct he
made his way over hill and prairie,
through timber and across rivers, A.
nally arriving in Des Moines, where he
was given a hearty welcome, a warm
kennel and a hot bowl of milk for q
starter.
Five weeks before a man from VAL
entine, Neb., saw the collie, bought
him and took it back with him to VAL
entine.
After the collie left his new home
he was seen at Fremont Neb., where
some boys threw stones at him while
he was stealing a meal from a back
door. This was the report until he
appeared in Des Moines.
His master was awakened by a
slight scratching at the front door. On
opening 1t he saw a shaggy, thin, dir
ty little collie. and from his actions at
first judged he was made. He soon
recognized his former pet, however,
and declares he would not now part
with the animal for twice its value

"LUcKY" BALDWIN.
His Whirlwind of Speculation In the
Mininu Reqions.

Mining Regions.
In 1853 a little party Of gold seek
ers with a meagre outfit of horses and
wagons started for California from
the village Of Racine, Wis. In COM
mand Of this adventurous expedition
was a young man who took with him
his wife and infant daughter. His
name was E. ]. Baldwin and he made
wise choice in shaking from his
restless feet the dust of a. tanner civil
ization. He needed a larger theatre
of action for his pent-up surging ac-
tivities. While trailing through the
mountains Of Utah the pioneers were
attacked by Indians, who were beat
en- off during a six hour fight In which
young Baldwin killed their chief. Az
ter six months Of hardship the party
reached Hangtown Qater called Pla-
cerville), In California.
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have
been no more than an ordinary red
shirted argonaut, meeting the ups
and downs of mining luck until the
discovery of the Comstock lode at
Virginia City. Thither he drifted and
discovered that his natural bent was
gambling with the mines that other
men had opened. Amid a whirlwind
of speculation he fought his way with
he from
smoke in a few months as Lucky
Baldwin, the man who had cleaned up
$7,500,OO in the gigantic deals In the
stock Of the Ophir mines.
San Francisco was the Mecca OF
those lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing a great city by the Golden
Gate. AS a stock and mining specu-
lator Lucky" Baldwin shone resplen-
dent, but he was also loyal son OF
San Francisco. He built hotels and
theatres and business blocks even
while he was amazing that far from
conservative community by madly
freakish extravagances.
In a very lucid interval he bought
all the Spanish grants he could find
near Los Angeles and there spent a
million in making this ranch Of his
not only a splendidly productive prop
erty, but also one of the most beauti-
full estates ever laid out in this or any
other country. 1t was his hobby, his
pet, and he planted miles of avenues
with noble shade trees and made
wonderful tropical gardens, sur
rounding a paradise of vernal beauty.

A Maine Fish Story.

A. correspondent of Maine Woods
writes: Seeing some Of your fish and
bear stories, must confess some OF
them do smell little fishy, and for
change l will give you one founded on
facts. You see, 1t was this way. we
were fishing on one of the Keswick
lakes in the spring Of '93, and our
catch had been enormous. About
o'clock in the afternoon we heard
peculiar noise on the bank of the lake
like tearing of roots. So we went to
investigate, and on nearing the shore
were surprised to find a large black
bear digging up the ground to beat
nine Of a kind. We lay low to watch;
and what do you think he was doing?
Why, he was digging worms, and af-
ter putting nice fat angleworms on
each of his forepaws, he ventured out
In the lake on an old sunken log, put
down his forefeet in the water and ac-
tually scooped out huge trout so thick
and fast that he almost darkened the
sun. After awhile, thinking there was
enough fish for US, we put an ounce
ball in his head. Talk about fish!
Great heavens! There lay trout too
feet deep, on which two young cubs
were gorging themselves. Well, we
skinned that bear, and, wishing to Sc
cure the cubs alive, l just threw the
bearskin over me and got down on all
fours, and those cubs followed me
right into camp, thinking it was moth
er bear. The cubs 1 afterward sold
for $25 each, and the hide Of the moth
er bear, which was a very large one.
brought me $40, not too bad days
work. Oh, yes, about those fish on the
bank. Well, we went back the next
day and barrelled up twenty-four bar
rels of the best of those trout. The
rest were left to rot in the sun. We
put those fish in cold storage, and we
have some of them yet"

THE TRUE SPORTSMAN.
He Always Stands For a Square Deal

The news comes from England that
sportsmen of the Kingdom are fast
coming to the opinion that every BIRD
should be given chance for It's h1e'
and that driving to stands and other
forms Of hunting in which the game
has practically little opportunity for
escape, is being abandoned as un-
sportsmanlike. This information will
be received with pleasure in America,
where the true sportsman cares more
for the making Of good shot than
for the size Of the days bag and takes
pleasure in giving his victims a good
chance to escape. Next to the Amer
leans hatred Of the pot-hunter
the game hog is disliked for the kind
of slaughter that our English friends
have long been accustomed to indulge
in.
A few years ago the true sports
man in this section would never dis
pose of his ! & for money and in the
days when game was more easily
found there were less game hogs. 1t
is regrettable that of late many good
shots have drifted away from these
customs and do not hesitate to go for
a weeks shoot and sell the greater
part of their game. Such practice is
no more sport than is a game OF cards
to which a man enters for the sole
inducement of what money he may
be able to get out of it. If sportsmen
will insist on killing more of dimin-
ishing game supply than they can
possibly use themselves, would 1t not
be more sportsmanlike to give the
surplus to friends instead of selling
it to the meat dealer? In this way
the money inducement to kill. which
will not tempt a real sportsman, is
eliminated and the hunter may re-
turn from the slaughter at least with
clear conscience from a financial
standpoint.
The game hog should be eliminated
by law. Not only should close sea-
sons be longer, but the law should
put a limit upon the number of birds
and other kinds of game that a hun
ter may kill. In some of the states
such laws exist, and their institution
has proved successful. In Georgia our
present laws should be vigorously en-
forced and others passed by the leg
islature.-Augusta Herald.
