GOV, BUCHTEL GRANTS PARDON
! TO OLD TINE CONVICT

Governor Buchtei has made himself
solid with the prisoners confined in
the penitentiary here by introducing
a merit system peculiarly his own.
The act which increased his popularity
with the convicts more than all else
was the talk he made to them at the
prison chapel Thursday night, In the
course of which he promised to grant
a pardon to some deserving man of
them on each of the ten legal holi-
days OF the state, viz: On New Years
Day. washington's birthday. Lincoln s
birthday. Decoration Day, the Fourth
OF July, Colorado Day. August first,
Labor Day. first Monday in September,
Columbus Day. October twelfth. and
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.
Indeed" said the governor, l
shall do even better than that, and
one OF you shall be given your liberty
outside these walls every time l come
TO Canon City. II you are worthy OF
it."
The governors visit here on Thurs
day was unexpected to all. except TO
Warden Cleghorn and a few OF his
most intimate friends. and was the
occasion of one of the most remark
Nble demonstrations that ever occur
1fed at the penitentiary. for he brought
with him a pardon TO Christian kuelbs
the next to oldest convic, In point Of
confinement In the state. The an
nouncement Of the pardon was an
kicipated by the assembled prisoners,
~ none of them knew who was to be
its Hecipient. and when the name of
Christian Kuelbs was called a ,rem-
endous applause followed, the like OF
which has seldom been heard in a
penal Institution in the state.
Governor Buchtei. accompanied by
Mrs. Anna Williams, assistant secrc-
tary of the state board OF pardons,
and Miss Margaret f. Dessert. ofiicial
stenographer. arrived here from Den
yer on d. & II. G. train No. l at 4
O'Clock Thursday afternoon and were

SMALL FIRE AT THE
FOUNDRY THURSDAY NIGHT

The fire department was called out
about IL O'Clock Thursday night to
extinguish an incipient confiagration
at the Canon City Foundry, corner of
Tenth and Water streets. Owing to
the extreme heat over one of the fur
naces the roof caught fire and would
have destroyed the building had not
the threatened danger been discovered
at an opportune time. The department
responded promptly to the alarm and
the flames were soon under control.
Marsden & Co., proprietors of the
plant, who knew nothing of the oc-
currence until the following morning,
were profuse in their thanks to the
department boys for the efficient man
ner in which they handled the fire.
There were lot of very valuable pat
terms in the foundry. the loss Of which
would have amounted to several thou
sand dollars. ..ns..

ly 10c@15c higher, while butcher cat
tie was also in strong demand with
the same amount advance noted, and
early in the day we thought we sold
some butcher cattle 15c@25c higher.
While we are glad to note this nice
advance, we believe it good policy not
to ship cattle to market in too great
numbers, as should the receipts be
very liberal again we would not be
surprised to see a sharp reaction for
the worst. 1t looks now as If receipts
will not be very heavy for the balance
of this week.
HOGS-The receipts of hogs today
will foot up around $4,000 to $1,000
mead with about 5000 head carried
over from Saturday and it is needless
for us to tell you the result OF this
heavy run, which was the largest we
have had in over three years. Market
opened very dull, prices fully 2OcQSOc
lower and at the close $3.50 was the
highest paid for the best hogs offered.
We advise you to hold your hogs back
I'm the country and not start the same
kind of a market we had here short
time back, as if the receipts come
moderate we believe we will see a
good hog market here, but on the 9TH
err hand if you insist in sending your
hogs to market, prices are bound to
go much lower. Hold back your hogs.
SHEEP-There is certainly nothing
very encouraging to offer in the sheep
and lamb market. as the prices seem
to be getting lower right along, the
receipts have not been what you would
call excessive, still market is in
very unhealthy condition and the same
thing applies to sheep and lambs as
we have stated in regard to the hogs.

FIRE At BARNHARTS
High Avenue Grocery Badly
Damaged Last Evening.

The Barnhart Bros. grocery, No. 81
High avenue east, was the scene of a
hot fire about seven o'clock last even
ing and considerable damage result
ed from the flames, smoke and water.
Where and how the fire started is a
mystery. Everything was all right
when the store was closed for the
night, at 6:30. About fifteen min
utes later ]. C. Johnson in passing
noted clouds of dense smoke pouring
out of the basement. He gave the
alarm, but even when the tiremen ar
rived no blaze was to be seen. The
smoke was coming out Of the rear part
OF the building and this was made the
point of attack The heat now be-
came intense and water was turned IN.
This had little if any effect on the vol
ume of smoke An opening was cut
through the side of the building into
the basement and this room was
found to be veritable furnace, but
the fire had not yet broken through
the floor. The room contained a
quantity of inflamable material and as
soon as the fire obtained draught
it began business on big scale. An
other stream of water was turned
into this part of the building. The
front of the store was next opened
and the firemen were then able TO get
at the flames in better shape.
The loss and damage win be severe
on account of smoke and water, but
the stock and building were protect
ed by insurance. The building, which
is the property of w. l. Neagle, is
damaged to the extent of several hun
bred dollars.
Walter Campbell, who operates
grocery next east of the Barnhart
place, had some damage from water
getting through into his basement
and wetting stored goods.
The department handled the fire
quickly when the men had the loca
ton of the flames. Had the fire Sc
cured good start the property or
the west between the alley and the
YIN. C. A. building would have been
in danger. This is the second fire lol
this building within few years anC
the second fire loss the Barnharts
have suffered within a few weeks.

COL. SAM
CANNOT co
SUPERVISORS VOTE TO ALLOW
EIGHT COUNTY EMPLOYEES TO
ENTER RIFLE CONTEST.

At the special meeting by the Board
of Supervisors held this noon it was
voted that eight men-not including
Sam Johnson--in the employ of the
County should be allowed to go to the
National Rifle match that is to be held
in Ohio this month, with full pay
while they are away. Supervisor Cox
voted against it. He thinks that the
men should have their pay stopped
while they are away as the County
could spend the money in a much bet
ter way.
Colonel Jones stated in answer to the
question put to MIN by Supervisor
Fern if the officers were to be paid by
the War Department in Washington
answered. that in 1906 when he went
as captain of the team he was paid
both by the Government and the Ter
ritorial authorities, but the salary was
not enough. In addition Colonel Jones
aided that as the Government were to
spend so much money in improve
ments here in the islands that he
thought that the Board should grant
permission to the men to go and that
they should draw full pay while they
were away. In fact in some of the
States and Territories it was punish
able by law not to allow the men to go
when called on by the Government.
Hustace said that the first thought
and duty was to the County, but ii
Colonel Johnson could satisfy him that
the work of his department would
not be crippled, he was willing to vote
that he should go. Supervisor Dwight
after careful consideration thought
that the men to go should have a lead
er and that he thought the man to lead
them was Johnson but the motion
was not put to a vote.
A motion was made by Hustace thai
the Board should make an appropria
ton to the Police Department of SSH
for team of new horses for that De
partment The motion was proposed
and seconded and the motion carried
by an unanimous vote. The Board ad
! journed until August 10.

Japanese MERCHANTS
Complaining NOTE

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Ill feeling
on the part of the Japanese against
San Francisco is openly expressed in a
letter written to the Washington
chamber of commerce by the chambers
of commerce of Japan. A reply prob
ably will be framed in a day or two.
The presidents of chambers of COM
merce signing the letter are B. Ma
hano, Tokyo; M. Dali, Osaka; j. 1. Shi-
mura, Kioto; K. Ono, Yokohama, and
T. Kishimate, Kobe. The letter fol-
lows:
Dear Sirs;-It has always been a
matter of profound satisfaction to ev-
cry Japanese to witness the constant
growth of cordial relations between
our two countries and Of the commun-
ity of our interests in the field of trade
and commerce.
But since last year the people of a
section of your country have unfor-
tunately acted to the prejudice of the
legitimate rights of Japanese people,
who have frequently been subjected TO
unjust and abusive treatment at the
hands of the lawless element prevail"
ing there.
The rights Of education were denied
to them. Their houses have repeated
ly been attacked and property destroy
ed without the least cause or provoca-
ton. The result is that not only are
the treaty rights of Japanese Of that
section disregarded, but also their per-
sons and property are exposed to seri-
Gus danger
It is extremely regrettable that such
