How They Stand

There has been no great changes
in the relative standing of the candi-
dates in our popular lady voting con-
test since last week, although several
of the candidates have made substan'
tial gains. Miss Ethel Bloom has
jumped from ninth to sixth place
and Miss Dring has passed Miss Sax
on by a small margin. Several Of
those near the head of the column are
working hard to capture the second
special prize of IS in cash, offered to
the one making the biggest gain dur
ing the second 30 days Of the contest.
Next week We will print cut and
description of the piano, and later
will give full description of the other
prizes. All, the prizes are worth the
effort it costs to get them, fact
which IS recognized by most of the
candidates. The people of the differ
ent communities are taking interest in
their home candidates, and we expect
to see them make big gains during the
next few weeks. The contest will
continue long enough to give every
one fair show, and it is anyone's
race as yet.
This week We havea new candidate
Miss Emma Thuesen, who we are led
to believe will make lively canvas.
This is the last week of free coupons,
so save all you can.
The following is the standing of
the candidates at the last count:

Strange But True.

A remarkable case has just come
to light at the headwaters Of the
Garden creek. Ten years ago Col
umbus Allsop went to the point to
fish and cut willow pole and set his
hook and line, sticking his pole in
the bank. He then got engaged in
something else and forgot his fishing
hole. After lapse of ten years he
thought Of it a few days ago and
went to the scene at once, and there
he found that his pole had grown to
be willow tree three feet in dame
ter. The line was its usual size and
when he raised the hook he found
several generations Of fish on it, hav-
ing raised a school of fine ones each
season. When Columbus drew up
the old fish all the others followed
and he loaded them all into his
wagon and drove home wondering
at the strange ocourrence.-Hog-

District Attory A. W. McHendrie
after the lynching at Las Animas
notified his deputy there to investi-
gate and report as to the guilty par
ticipants in the lynching. The
deputy after due time returned the
report that he had made a very care
full examination Of all parties who
could have any knowledge as to the
identity of any of the mob, and he
had found out that there was no one
engaged in the lynching that was
less than seven feet high. Also that
he, the aforesaid deputy, had taken
a tape measure and carefully taken
the height of every citizen of Bent
county and found that none of them
reached the required stature. There

ed and another crime added to the
already long list charged against
the prisoner.
The theft occurred the night be-
fore the depot holdup when Denver
& Rio Grsnde Agent Joseph Dale
was shot after being badly bea ten
by the highwayman and relieved of
800 of the company's cash. John
son was visited at the Pueblo county
Jail yesterday and made a clean
breast of his connection with the
theft and told the officers where the
loot had been cached. The sacks
had been hidden under refuse at the
race track, east Of town, and it had
been his intention, johnson says, to
examine the contents at his leisure
had not his hasty exit from the city
been made necessary by the shoot
ing. The mail sacks contained
some cash and money orders and
drafts for large amounts, but the
authorities refuse to make known
the sum. Johnson's confession has
strengthened the belief of the police
that he is the same man who held
up Night Agent Dale and is one Of
the two men who robbed Denver &
Rio Grande train No. 5 few weeks
before at Leadville junction.

Monday evening passed and ordered
published the preliminary resolution
in regard to the sewer system for

and estimates of the city engineer.
The estimates show a cost for the
entire incorporated section of the
city of about $4,000 to $4,000, or
the rate of S35 for so foot lot.
The board WAS unanimously in favor
of proceeding as rapidly as can be
legally done in the matter, as they
regard the syetem as one OF the
greatest needs of Lamar at the pres
emit time. 1t is believed that the
figures Of the contractors when bids
are called for will be considerably
under the estimate but it was con-

Murder at Caddoa.

Manuel Rio was killed at Caddoa
Sunday night about IL O'Clock by
Cicilo Parrentio, as result Of q
game of cards, in which Psrrentio
won about S12 from Rizo, but could
not get the money. Both men be-
longsd to a Mexictn work gang on
the Santa Fe, and were housed in
care set off the track west of Coddos.
Rizo started for Csddos after the
game and Parrentio started to follow,
but other men in the car stopped
him, but he jumped through a win
dow and overlook Rio about fifty
feet away aud struck him over the
head, frscturing his skull and killing
him instantly. Parrentio and two
other Mexicans that were in the car
say that a broom handle was the wea-
pom used, but the fracture of the
skull and the shape Of the blow on
the head indicate that something
heavier was used, and as an axe
handle, recently broken off, was
found among some nearby debris,
and the axe. head missing, it is
thought the murderer used an axe.
The two men who witnessed the
murder carried the body Of RHO into
the car and put it in bunk, covering
it with the bed-clothes, and did not
report the matter. When the body
was discovered Coroner Cshill and
Sheriff Gruber were notified and the
coroner's verdict was in accordance
with the above facts.
Parrentio attempted to escape by
sscreting himself in box car and
being carried east, but he was cap
tured at Holly and is now in the
county jail and his preliminary hear.
ing was held before Justice Brittor
yesterday, and he was bound over &c
