Some men are SO stupid at times
that one wonders how they get on
in life at all, and after a few mo-
ments of ridiculously profound
thought, l was quite ready to consign
myself to this class. Here was 4 man,
obviously slave to a habit which
was slowly but surely eating his very
life away, who virtually admitted his
shortcomings in the plainest of Eng
lish, and yet who rushed from my
presence in horror and disgust when l
attempted to persuade him to leave In
toxicants alone! Here was his serp.
ant, an honest, trustworthy fellow.
who not only admitted his masters
failings but gave many details of his
unfortunate downfall, and yet who re-
garded me with suspicion and dread
when l ventured to ask him a most
natural question:! And here was fool
of a lawyer who could not see through
milestone with hole in it!

may talk to me perfectly freely for

Mr.. Carney himself was here for some
time this morning."
Bobbs looked relieved and proceed
ed without further difidence.
'Why. should say, sir, it's goin' on
about two years now. Ye know. he
had some trouble or other on his mind
when he went away, sir, an it seemed
to prey on him more an more all the
time. After a while he began get.in'
in with those people, which 1 suppose
was relief to him and kept his
thoughts off the other thing. At first
it was only occasionally when he got
to feelin' specially downhearted, but
it wasn't long before he was with 'em
all the time, sir. l begged and begged
him to keep away from 'em, for you
know as well as l do, sir, that only
ora, thing could come of it, but he
wouldn't listen to me and things kept
goin' from bad to worse
AT the beginning he kept up his in
terest in the business pretty well, but
finally he lost all track of that, and
then it wasn't many months before he
couldn't attend to it whether he want
ed to or not. That was the time l quit
drinkin', sir, for | saw that he needed
every minute of my time, day and
night. or at least that he might need it.
His neglectin' the business as he
did wasn't any harm, you know, sir,
for it's SO well managed that it could
almost run itself. but did wish that
he had worked off his bad feelin's in
the office, stead of the way he did

TO MAKE "NEAR CHAMPAGNE"
Jury Awards $1,000 to Woman Who
Tells Them How.

New York.-Four gals California
Reisling wine; lbs. white sugar; 4
lemons; 2 lbs. large fresh seedless
raisins.
In the above proportion fill wine
barrel thoroughly cleaned with sui
phur; lay on side, with bunghole
sealed and glass tube through stop
per, in warm cellar for two months;
then, when fermentation shows in
tube. draw off into another clean bar
rel; put in cool place on side for one
month, then rack and bottle.
1t all came out in the County Court
before Judge Drake and a jury just
low to make fine, sparkling and alto
gether-to- desired champagne Mrs.
CATH Lang, an elderly woman, who
knew a great deal about wines and
their making learned from experience
in her native Alsace, told just how it
vas done.
The jury listened to her story in the
suit being brought against julius
Mlnck, of the firm of Minck & Co., to
whom she said she sold the secret, and
then awarded her the full amount of
her claim, which was $1,000.
Mrs. Lang said she learned the Sc
cret of making wine in France, and
had made it for over two years before
she came to this country. But since
being here she had been engaged in
restaurant and had no time to go into
wine making. So, knowing that the
firm of Minck of 1853 Beaver street,
Brooklyn, was large maker of min
eral waters and other beverages, she
went to see Mr.. Minck.
She testified that she had taken with
her all the ingredients to make guam
tity of the near champagne and she
only stipulated that she be present to
superintend the first production for the
defendant of beverage that, she de-
clared to him, would deceive even the
Lest champagne experts. 1t developed
on the trial that she was promised the
sum of $1,000 by the defendant, but
this was denied by him, and then gave
him the recipe. He was to organize
company and sell the manufactured
wine, she said.

MANY SENT TO PENITENTiARY.
Denver Courts of Justice Sentence
Half Dozen Convicts.

in the penitentiary
Clyde Cassidente-Five to six years
in the penitentiary.
Alton E. Horses-Six to seven years

Dominic Meskew-Convicted of vol
untary manslaughter.
Judge Shattuck bitterly arraisned
Harold McKnaw previous TO sentenc-
ing him. McKnaw had protested his
innocence, and the judge said:
Harold McKnaw, | am sorry that
you beat out the brains of that Jew
with coupling pin, and then tell such
a story. You thought to put the blame
on another boy weaker than yourself.
l was in hope that you would become
penitent and tell the truth, but see
that you prefer to go to the peniten-
tiary with that lie on your lips"
Judge Garrigue Of Greeley imposed
the sentence on Cassidente, who wept
and pleaded to have it changed to the
state reformatory. He was convicted
of assault on twelve-year-old Lottie
Rode.
Hoffses, who shot and killed James
Thornton, received his sentence with
immobile countenance.
The attorneys for James Ryan, who
shot and killed Percy Smith and was
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, will file motion Monday for
new trial.
Harold McKnaw and William Gil

Weissblei, two West Colfax Jews, in a
quarrel which took place at the edge
of the CITY, on the Denver & inter

Alton e. Hoffses, who killed James
Thornton last October, has long been
"a familiar character among the gam
bling fraternity. The men quarreled
over money matters, Hoffses accusing
Thornton of being responsible for the
fact that he (Hoffses) could no longer

ANDREW JOHNSON MUST HANG.
Murderer Of Night Marshal Frisbie
at Lamar Convicted.

Lamar, Colo.-To be hanged by the
neck until dead is the fate of Andrew
johnson. convicted of the murder of
Night Marshal J. II. Frsbie at Lamar.
The jury filed into the court room and
announced that verdict had been
agreed on. The defendant cool and
Indifferent. sat by his counsel and eyed
the jury closely as the members an
swered to the call of their names.
When the clerk read the verdict,
handed in by Foreman f. P. Thurston,
We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and fix the penalty at DEATH"
Johnson's swarthy face paled slightly
but he gave no other evidence of feel
ing. After Judge Thorne, his counsel,
had moved for a rehearing. Judge Hun
ter ordered the prisoner to stand up.
and asked him if he had anything to
say. Nothing at ALL" was the response
of Johnson.
Judge Hunter then passed sentence
on johnson. ordering that he be
hanged during the week beginning Au-
gust goth. At the conclusion of the
judges words Johnson said: Thank
you," and sat down, the coolest man
in the entire court room. Judge Hun
ter, court officials and the spectators,
were deeply moved by the proceed
ings, but Johnson's eyes remained
dry. A few moments later the pris.
oner was laughing and joking with the
deputies who had him in charge.
The jury was unit in pronouncing
johnson guilty and the only difference
that arose in their deliberations was
regarding the punishment to be fixed.
Sheriff Thomas and Under Sheriff
Lynch left tonight for Canon City to
deliver Johnson to the warden of the
penitentiary.
Marshal ]. Horace Frisbie for
whose murder Johnson was convicted,
was killed on the night of December
2Gth last. He had been shadowing
two suspicious characters and came up
with them at the east corner of the
Union hotel. A few words ensued be.
tween the parties, Wien suddenly
shot rang out and the marshal dropped
to the ground shot through the heart
The murderer started northward to an
alley, with Sheriff Thomas, who had
been attracted by the shooting, in
close pursuit. A pistol duel between
the sheriff and the fugitives ensued,
but they made their escape in the
darkness.
The following day they were trailed
across the country toward the Missouri
Pacific railroad. A few days later a
posse from Kiowa county came up
with the men just across the line in
Kansas and finally Johnson was cap.

settIina up Eastern colorado.

Gasoline motor service will be es.
tablished on the Union Pacific's Kan
sas line, between Denver and Hugo,
within ten days or two weeks.
At first only one combination car
will be placed in service, making the
distance of 105 miles to Hugo in less
than four hours, the running time be-
ing about thirty miles an hour. The
object is to supplement the regular
passenger train service because of the
great demands made by the dry farm
ing section, which is rapidly filling up.
Less than two years ago interurban
traffic from Denver to the east line Of
the state was not even thought of, that
section being practically a wilderness
here and there a small farm in the
valleys.
In the last two months the Union
Pacific has handled ninety-five car.
loads of household furniture for points
between here and Hugo, almost ex-
clusively for settlers on small tracts
that have been taken up under the
Campbell soil culture system.
The officials Of the road are author
ity for the statement that no less than
500 homesteaders have gone in within
the last few months In addition to hun
dreds who bought decided lands and
settled upon them. It is for the ac-
commodation of this large added popu-
lation that more passenger service is
required and the Union Pacific deter
mined upon the scheme to augment
established trains by putting In motor
