Cemetery Owners Meet.

The stockholders of the Highland
Cemetery association met Tuesday
evening at the court house with 68
Of the 100 shares Of stock duly repre-
sented. It was the FIRST meeting had
within several years past, and the
financial report Of Secretary JoHant-
gen showed healthy balance on the
right side of the ledger.
A dividend of twent-ilve per cent
Of the original amounts paid In by
the stockholders was declared, and
this action was more than passingly
significant. 1t means that the stock
holders have now received back
every dollar they have put into the
''venture." and have some thirty odd
acres of land and some 1900 In their
treasury. AS originally intended
there will be no more dividends, but
the money accruing from the sale Of
lots will be used In improvements,
repairs and further beautifying the
cemetery. The building Of SUBJ
stantial foot-bridge across the White
at the foot Of Sixth street, with IN
easy trail leading up to the cemetery,
may be one Of the improvements.
L The matter of.the election OF iive
trustees was then taken up, and upon
They are: H. J. Hay, A. G. Houlton,
F. N. JoHAntgen, F. e. Sheridan and
II. A. Wildhack. The trustees Sc

The Democratic State Central COM

pursuant to call.
The purposes Of the meeting WA
the setting Of time and place for the
state convention to nominate dele
gates TO the national convention,
which meets ut Denver In July. This
convention will meet at Glenwood
June 18th.
In order to avoid calling another
meeting, the state committee az
ranged for holding the regular state
nominating convention at Pueblo In
September, Chairman Smith and the
executive committee to name the
date.
Tho wsr,n fight In the committees
came up, over the recognition or
regularity of the Democratic City
committee representing the Speer
faction) and the Democratic City
and County committee representing
the Patterson faction). The Speer
side won out by the. decisive vote Of
90 to 81 for Patterson.
The gathering was the largest in
the history of the Colorado Demo-
cratic State committee. nearly every
county In the state being represent
ed. A notable feature of the gather
ing was the large number OF men and
women present who were formerly
partisans and strong supporters Of
Senator Patterson. On the present
occasion they were there lined up
against Mr.. Patterson and the loud
eat In denouncing his rule or ruin
policy. Indeed, it was . source Of
much pleasure to the old line Demo-
Gratis to sit back and quietly watch
Mr.. PAtterson's former friends per-

Has Another Close Call.

Week before last The HERALD
gave an account Of the narrow escape
of Judge Walbridge at the fire in his
Meeker ONCE. In commenting on
the occurrence the Steamboat Sen
tinel said that 'he (the judge) always
was tougher than pine knot and we
doubt II the explosion of an entire
tank of oil would lay him up for
good"
Last weeks HERALD announced
the departure Of Judge and Mrs.
Walbridge for their Steamboat home,
leaving here Thursday morning and
intending to get there Friday eve.
The Sentinel had . postscript added
to the other item, which in substance
read IS follows: Just as they were
about to go to press an alarm Of fire
was sounded, Judge Walbridge's law
office being discovered ablaze. BY
prompt action Of the neighbors the
flames were extinguished before
much damage was done. 1t seems
the Judge telephoned up from Craig
to q neighbor asking him to have q
FIRE In the office stove In order that
the rooms would be comfortable upon
their arrival. An hour after the fire
was built the blaze was discovered.
Like the Meeker fire, 1t could have
been worse, and the Walbridges are
