Denver, July 17.-Never in the his
tory of this city did sentiment change
so quickly as it did in the ALA matter
since Wednesday. The change not only
includes ALA but it crystalized against
capital punishment as a punishment
for crime. Governor Harper, members
of the pardoning board and in fact
practically all of the pardoning state
officials expressed regret that Ala, be-
cause of his ignorance of Colorado
laws and sentiment, did not tell ten
days ago what he told just before he
was executed Wednesday night.
"If his story is true," said Cover
nor Harper, "he had no right to be
hung, and If 1 had known 1t would
have reprieved him long enough to
have made an investigation into the
facts connected with the case. 1t just
goes to show the mistake of capital
punishment law. The man is dead and
our people will always feel that per-
haps there were circumstances which
made capital punishment far too Sc
vere A capital punishment law in
creases and does not diminish crime y
Continuing the Governor said:
"Of course, the demand for capital
punishment comes from the abuse Of
the pardoning power, but certainly the
American people can throw such safe
guards around the pardoning power
that we should not be compelled to
protect it from abuse by taking human
life. We're I to have my way" con-
tinued the governor, Il would put
prisoners at some work for which they
could be paid. 1 would pay. them for
their labors and their pay would be
divided between their own families
and the families of the man killed. If
a man knew that his every act Of lab
or went to the support of those de-
pendent upon some person he had
slain it would be the creates. punish
ment imaginable. In cases where there
were none dependent would have the
amount go to some charity organiza-
ton"
1t Is a we'll known fact that during
the week succeeding the last hanging
at Canon City, there were nine first

gravity water system, informed the
Daily Record Friday afternoon that ev-
erything in connection with laying OF
the pipe line was progressing nicely
and that it was the intention to push

Of the non-arrival of machinery and

idly now and a large force of men will
be put to work as soon as they can be
used to advantage.
A lot of bridge men were taken on
today and this afternoon began the
construction of the temporary bridges
across the Arkansas river in the Roy
al Gorge. These bridges are supported
onon stringers brought here from Ia
coma, Washington, specially for the
purpose and some of them are forty

the matter will be greatly simplified.
A gang Of men are employed on the
site Of the contemplated reservoirs
and settling basins on the plateau
above Kenley's gardens arranging for
the steam shovels and other heavy ma
chinery needed for excavation pur-
poses. Mr.. Gordon states that as soon
as another car of machinery arrives,
which is expected at any time, the
digging of the basins will be begun
and will be prosecuted with vigil until
they are finished. This will necessitate
large increase in the working force
and 1t is reported that in a couple of
weeks two hundred men will be en-
ployed there.

quite apt to crumble and they are

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING m 6RAPe CREEK

s. A. Tyo of the Star meat market
and son, Anthony, had narrow es-
cape from drowning in Grape Creek
while returning home from the Wet
Mountain valley last Saturday after
noon. They had passed through a
couple of heavy showers on the way
down from the valley, but they DID
not consider the rainfall sufficient to
raise Grape Creek to any perecptible
extent. Contrary to their expectations,
however, it was seething and boiling
like the rapids below Niagara Falls
on their arrival at the crossing this
side of Webster Park. Although the
water was greatly agitated 1t did not
appear to be very deep and Mr.. Tyo
drove into it without any thought of
danger.
When in the middle of the stream
a great wall of water came down the
stream and completely filled the buggy
in which he and his son were riding
and washing the horse. OF its feet.
Inc morse, VeulClc anu llS OSSuPohIc
were carried down the stream for a
distance of fully a hundred yards
where they managed to reach the
bank in safety. The boulders and
stones in the creek were carried for
ward by the current with great rapid
ity, sweeping the horse from its feet
and wrecking the buggy. When they
were struggling in the water with
little hope of reaching terra firma Mr..
Tyo told his son to take hold the
horses tail and cling to it att all haz-
ard, feeling sure that if he did he
would sooner or later be able to reach
dry land.
Mr.. Tyo and son were compelled to
walk to town after their adventure,
the buggy being in such condition as
to make riding in it impossible. Mr..
Tyo says is was one of the most thrill
ing experiences in his life and is one
that he has no desire to repeat on ac-
count of the peril involved in 1t. He
says that he will never drive into a
stream of that kind again.
