judgment for Money Expended.

In the federal court at Denver, on
Wednesday, a Judgment for $6,4s6.44
was rendered against Prank Esshom, .
former operator in this district, and in
favor of John c. Humes, an eastern in
vestor in stock of the Orr Gold Smelling
& Refining company. Humes charges
that Esshom, through false representa-.
tions regarding his company's property,
the amount and value of the ore in sight,
as we'll as fairy tale regarding an OBJ
noxious stockholder whom they wished
to get rid of, unloaded 48,5oo shares of
the obnoxious individuals stock onto the
complainant for $5,84o, and that he bit
at the chance of making a million for
that figure. He returned to his home in
Kansas City and waited for dividends.
A little over a year ago, no dividends
having materialized, he sent an engineer
here to inspect the property and see what
had become of the ore in sight at the
time of the stock sale, estimated by
Esshom at over $1,000 900 The engi.
neer failed to find the ore and so re.
ported. SO Humes started out to find
Esshom.
Humes has secured judgment ahd it
remains to be seen how he will get his
money back, with interest, as we under
stand the Clear Creek mine in question
was simply operated undes an option.
Granting that the allegations of Humes
are true, and we have not heard the other
side of the tale, it would strike the ave-
rage observer that the proper time to in
vestigate is at the beginning of the trans.
action. A company with five millions OF
ore in a mine is not generally selling its
stock on the benevolent plan.

birthday. being joined in the ceremonies

Iverson and q very few other chosen
ones basking in the sunset of life. Young
and giddy fellows like Tommy Wood.
ward and Fritz Ulrich were barred from
the cider barrel, as it was feared their
youthful pranks would disturb the
Elders meditations and "reminiscences of
how many states he had helped to start
into being prior to coming to Colorado
in 1901, just a. years ago.
Mr., GriswQld is not only to be con.
graduated upon having successfully
passed so many mile posts, but upon his
perfect health and prospect of continuing
with us for an indefinite period. He is .
living exponent of Idaho Springs's aalu-
tary climate and life.prolonging mineral
waters, combined with always going to
bed At 500 p. m.
During the 40 odd years that the Elder
has dwelt upon this historic spot where
Jackson irst pauned gold, and which has
been promised 5000 monument in
commemoration Of the event, he has al.
ways been in the vanguard Of the army
Of progress, of the men who de things,
and to him and others who came here in
the early days and stayed with it, Idaho
Springs owes much of its present great
ness.
Curing his long residence here MIR.
Griswold's untiring zeal for the public
veal and acknowledged abilities led to
his being the unanimous choice of his
fellow citizens for positions of trust, and
he always did his duty. In the earlier
history of Idaho Springs he filled the
Offices Of mayor and councilman on diff
ferent occasions. and later on he was d
valuable member of the Seventh general
assembly, from which muchly villi6ed
body he retired without even q barrel Of
ink or a rolltop desk.
For these and other services which W.
forbear to enumerate at this time, w
join the balance OF our citizens in wish
ing Mr.. Griswold many happy return'
and a prosperity :hat will never fade.

BLAME RAILWAY
AND MOTORMAN
JURY FIXES RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ACCIDENT
District Attorney Will Be Asked for
Warrants for Those Who Are
Accused of Causing
Wreck

That the beautiful Gwendolyn Bur-
roughs and Fred Vint met their deaths
in the calamity in the Eagle Rock
valley Sunday night through the care
lessness of Motorman John Harris was
the verdict rendered by Coroner Lam
terman and jury yesterday after
noon, after the inquest on the remains
of Gwendolyn Burroughs.
The Los Angeles Railway company
is held jointly responsible with Harris
for the death of the man and woman,
and today the district attorneys Of
flee will be approached on the matter
of warrants for the arrest Of those
concerned.
But one inquest was held, and from
the verdict rendered there the coroner
transferred the evidence and verdict
to the other case. The findings over
the body of Gwendolyn Burroughs were
first rendered, and as the cases were
exactly similar in nature Coroner Lam
terman used the same verdict in re-
cording the death of Vint.
The inquest was held at Pierce
Brothers undertaking establishment
on Flower street. and but few wit
nesses were examined. After the evil
dence was all in it took Coroner Lam
terman's jury but a few minutes to
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-12

return their verdict, which was to the
effect that the Los Angeles railway
and Motorman Harris were liable for
the deaths.
Victims Are Better
All those who were injured in the
wreck Sunday night, fully score IN
number, were resting easily yesterday,
and it is not thought that any more
fatalities will be recorded as a result
of the calamity. John Green, whose
back was thought to have been broken
at the time of the accident, is COM
paratively safe SO far as his life is
concerned, but he is not yet entirely
out of danger. The other patients are
reported as improving, and unless
something unlocked for sets in they
will all recover.
The funeral of Fred Vint, one of the
two who met with untimely death at
the curve in Eagle Rock valley Will
be held this morning at 10 o'clock from
Pierce Brothers chapel, the interment
to be at Rosedale cemetery. Services
over the body of Gwendolyn Burroughs,
the other victim Of the sad calamity,
will be held tomorrow morning at the
same time and place. She also will
be buried in Rosedale.

regulating the licensing of persons prac-

be amended so that all applications for
same be first presented to the police
board.
Because of many complaints concern
ing takers in these professions the board
deems 1t best to keep police jurisdiction
over certain of this ilk.
Reputable practitioners are said to
favor such legislation in order to weed
out the bogus class who have been at
tracted to Los Angeles from all parts
of the United States.
