CONVICT AT REVOLVER POINT

Trinidad, Nov 26.-John Mayo, a
notorious horse thief and Jail breaker,
has been recaptured after having
eluded state and county officers for
nearly seven years. The man was ar
rested yesterday morning at the point
of a six-shooter by Sheriff Davis when
he called at the Offices Of the Globe
Express company for two valises,
which he had sent here from Grand
Junction in the name of George Bates.
His capture was due to the treachery
of a fellow criminal, George Mack,
who is under arrest at Grand Junction
on a charge of horse stealing.
Mack confessed to the Grand juno
ton officers who notified the local OFF,
GERS to watch for Bates. but not until
the man was placed under arrest was
he recognized as Mayo, who has been
wanted here for the past three years

In making these changes the county
Judge handed Hallett a few oral opin-
ions that caused red headlines seven

papers. Judge Hallett went to the dis

Allen an order restraining Judge Hud-

take the matter to the supreme court.
The question as to whether the county
court is subject to orders Of the dis
trlct court has never been settled in
Colorado and this case will settle the
whole matter. 1t Is the intention Of
the attorney general to raise all those
points and to have them settled in this
case SO that from now one the author

REFINERY TURNS.
OUT SOME FINE WAX

Florence, Nov. 21.-Eight 50-pound
cakes of wax have already been
aurned out at the United Oil company's
refinery and by the end OF the week
another two ton batch will be taken
from the sweat pans. This wax is un-
usually hard. making it more valuable
than the eastern production. On this
account it will not do for chewing
gum. a production 1t was reported
would be made in Florence, but it will
give it a commercial value unsur-
passed because Of its high melting
point.
Eight kinds Of lubericating oils are
now turned out by this company and
all find ready sale. Experiments made
with them show greater viscosity than
in any other and prove them the best
in the world. These oils include the
black, red and lighter oils.

FOR FOREIGN MISSIONARIES

Washington, Nov. 23.-The state
department has received copies of an
edict issued by the Chinese imperial
authorities urging the territorial OFF,
cials to grant the utmost protection
to the foreign missionaries in China
as we'll as of the Chinese proselites
of the mission. The edict recites the
fact that rowdies have been in the
habit of deceitfully stirring trouble
by circulating false reports about the
work OF the missionaries, and orders
the local officials to prominently post
the treaty provisions authorizing the
foreigners to preach their doctrines
in China. and to see that they are OBJ
served under penalty of condign pun

At the theater the other night we
saw a woman who wore the ugliest
hat we have ever seen. And when
we thought how she worried over its
selection, and went back the fifth and
sixth time, and tried it on, and
thought, and thought, we couldn't
help laughing. The hat looks worse
from the front than from the back,
and a side view is still worse. How
that woman finally decided to buy
that hat, is a mystery to us. That
she isn't ashamed to wear it now, is
another mystery. For a while, we
were astonished that a milliner should
make such a hat, but the milliner's
judgment is all right; she sold the
hat Well bet that the milliner told
the woman that the shape was the
very lates, thing in Paris.

TIE NATIONAL FORESTS
RECEIPTS FOR THE YEAR
Million and a Half Dollars, One Tenth

irespondence of The Repubicanl-The
total receipts from business on the
National Forests for the fiscal year

than double the receipts for the preced-
ing fiscal year. and the sum which
goes to the states and territories, by
law, 10 swell the county school and
road funds where National Forests are
located-10 per cent of the totals
also more than doubled. reaching the
sum ofs153.991T9.
There is food for thought in the
fact that, except for Arizona. Califor-
MIA, and Utah, the states which derive
the greatest benefit from the returns
OF forest management are Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, oregon, Washington,
and Wyoming, the six states in which
congress last winter forbade the addi-
ton of new National Forests except by
its own act. As compared with the
figures for last year, Montana's share,
20.655.42. is this year over three times
larger; Idaho's, s19.122.92. almost three
times; Oregon's. s13.9SO.s9. almost
twice; Wyoming's s16,69023. about
two and ore half times.
