RECEIVER FOR
The POST
MINES
Especial to Tho sentlnela

Denver. Nov. s.-Judge Harry
Riddle. In the district court yester-
day appointed II. T. Spencer receiv-
er at the Post coal mines at Erie,
Colo, which have been forced to shut
down because of the lack Of order
and Importantly of the creditors.
The principal creditors of the Den
yer Post coal mines are F. A. Combs
and the miners, the last not having
received their wages since October 1.
The company was organized with
a capital stock of 100000. divided
into shares of 81 each; but the Post
by the loan of 900 recently made
holds in escrow $4,000 shares, and
controls the capital.
The concern is known as the King
Coal Company. and is one of those
charged by Attorney General Dick
son with being a member of the coal
trust.

meeting In snding to carry everything
before them. through the means OF a
nice oily resolution, which meant that
all the work that had been accom-
plished by the various councils In the
past half dozen years was to have
been entirely ignored and the work to
investigate sources of supply begun
over again.
The resolutions purport was to In
definitely postpone the matter. 1t ask
ed that committee of fifteen be sent
out to make investigations upon
sources of supply and also desired
that all discussion of any thing that
had occurred toward giving the citi-
zens of Grand Junction a supply OF
pure mountain water for domestic
purposes be eliminated from last
nights discussion.
The people who prepared the reso-
luton thought it was the smoothest
Job that had ever been prepared for
an unthinking people to bite at. but
they barked up the wrong tree. The
people would not have any of 1t what
ever and they turned 1t down good and
hard, by passing a substitute resolu-
tion offered by T.. M. Slocomb that
was business like in its every line.
There were several other substi-
tutes offered to the original resolution
one by Henry X. Rhone and another
by ]. NJ. Stewart.
The meeting was called to order by
President Frank A. Lyons. of the
Chamber of Commerce and J. II. Hill
was made secretary. The cock sure
resolution offered by A. II. Davis and
seconded by r. A. Sherman precipitat-
ed very exciting discussion at times
Mr.. Slocomb was on his feet very
shortly after he resolution was pre-
sented and offered his substitute and
then followed general discussion, as
each substitute to the original reso-
luton was presented.

The tenor of all the speeches, save
those of Il. NJ Slocomb, S. b. Hutch

/ this city are to be esked to wait ths
incoming of every train and that Il
every stranger who arrives overnight
the whole subject must be revamped
for their edification.
Upon the principal of delay that
animated the discussion against the
proposal to go to Hannah Creek. there
was underlying it the desire to defeat
the purpose of securing any sort oi
mountain water.
E. A. Sherman, a gentleman work
ing for the Morning Yellow, didn't
care where the water was taken from
only so there was delay SO that the
cabal that has been worked up to de.
feat the Will of the people entirely
may have chance to get their work
in on some other proposition. The few
remarks he made were given scant at
tention. as he demonstrated as soon
as he opened his mouth that he did
not know what he was talking about
which is characteristic peculiar to
the gentleman under all circum-
stances.
Toward the close OF the meeting j
ii. Schiesswohl. who arrived at the
meeting attempted to have the whole
discussion rehashed for his benefit
He talked in a rambling manner about
being favorable to the mountain water
project In one breath and against II
In another. What he was attempting
to say none could tell.
The peculiar part of his rambling
talk was that he made assertions that
no attempt had been made to measure
the waters of the Hannah Creek or
any other creeks In the county and
that competent engineers had not
given satisfactory answers to what
the public desired to know. He as
sumed that nothing had been done
and when City Clerk John M. Conley
and Alderman Davies. chairman OF the
water cimmittee did answer what he
said was not known, he proceeded as
| IL his questions had not been answ-
| cred.
When after firing out everybody he
made the announcemtnt he would only
talk five minutes more, the people
began to stamp and applaud 30 that
he could not proceed.
While the stamping was to be de-
plored, as we believe in every man be-
| ing given n chance to give his Views
| Schiesswohl was about the limit and
had tried the patience OF the entire
audience.
When the voting on the various sub
stitutes began, the Stewart ana Rhone
resolutions were defeated and that Of
fered by Mr.. Slocomb prevailed.
| When $50 citizens gather together
to consult on any matter OF moment to
the people, 1t is an insult to all those
people to say that such meeting is
a "fizzle." because a resolution that
was fathered by kid did not meet
public approval, especially after II
