Are There with the Good.

If the entertainment of the visiting
newspaper writers to this city is not
success, it will be no fault of the COM
mittee, the members of which having
give n up their private affairs to per-
feet arrangements for the guests in
the hopes that nothing will be left un
done. The generosity of the city
council in setting aside goodly sum
for the use of the committee has been
warmly commended upon all sides, anu
has served as a stimulous to liberal
contributions on the part of private
citizens.
At the Denver Press Club rooms last
Tuesday night, the local committee
was given cordial reception, and when
the invitations had been extended and
\ the advantages of the trip to this city
and been extolled by the boosters,
without exception the newspaper boys
declared themselves as delighted and
would be glad to come at any time that
their convention work had been con-
cluded. Aided materially in the work of
the committee has been the kind offers
made by the passenger department of
the Colorado & Southern who have
worked in and out of season for the sue
cess of the trip.
As now contemplated, a special train
will leave Denver at 10 o'clock on the
the morning following the adjournment
of the convention; reaching this city
at noon. Refreshments will be
served en--oute, both liquid and
sustaining. Special electric trains will
meet the visitors at the portal of the
Newhouse tunnel and convey them
first to the bottom of the Gem shaft
where they will be taken to the surface
over the skip-way and returning to the
tunnel level the underground journey
will be continued to the Old Town shaft
at the tunnel level. At both of these
points specially prepared refresh
ments will be served, and it is the in
tention to enlighten the visitors of what
has been accomplished by mining and
tunnel companies. A trip will also be
made to the surface through the Old
Town shaft.
In addition to the entertainment
afforded the visitors, it is the inten-
ntion to present each with some souve-
mir that will be appreciated by them
and preserved.

Sab,n wiiIProecute Overs

Sabsn Will Proecute Overs
Attorney E. M. Sabn. of this city,
has been appointed special prosecutor
in the criminal case brought against
Judge Overs in which the former judge
is accused of embezzlement from an
estate in Summlt county. In sp ak'ng
o the C. s., the Summit COUNTY jour
nal in its issue of July 4th, has the
following to say in regard to the case:
with each and every turn of the le-
gal wheel it becomes more and more
apparent that Overs got himself ap-
pointed special administrator of the
rat Hopkins estate for the sole puf-
pose of getting away with the $4,000
in cash which Hopkins died possessed
of
That he commenced looting the
estate before the ink was dry on his
official bond as such administrator viii
doubtless be shown by the evidence.
That the estate has been squan-
dered, and that Owers..'s now default
er and in hiding in some other state,
if not in some foreign country is a cer-
tainty.
Also certain it is, that the bondsmen
will have to put up" and make
good" the result of an Official act per-
performed by j. W. Swisher, as pro-
bate judge. that should and as matter
of course will damn him personally
and politically for all time to come.
The deeper the probe is inserted into
the rotten mess the greater the stencil
emitted. The brazenness of that old
man ma masquerading with an air of in
nocence in this worse than highway
robbery deal, is really agonizing to
those forced to daily encounter that
deceitful silly smile.
Besides working unbearable hardship
to the estate and bondsmen, poor old
Summit county will be STUCK up for
anywhere from 500 to $1,000 in an effort
to convict and punish Overs.
In open court on Monday, John Red
din. attorney for the Hopsins heirs, de-
clared Frans W. Overs a de- aulter
and embezzler, and demanded, in the
name of Justice, that he be brought
bac- here and punished.
District Attorney Hogan, in state
m, Mt to the court, said that Oh account
of his personal relations to Overs, to
the acting administrator, Robinson,
to the bondsmen, he desired to be
relieved of the responsibility of filing
an indictment against Overs, and re-
quested the appointment of special
prosecuting attorney to act in this case
and suggested that the court name f.
NJ. Sabn, of Idaho Springs, as spe-
cial officer.
Attorney Reddin promptly acquiesced
in Hogan's suggestions and added that
the appointment of MIR. Sabin would be
perfectly agreeable to him.
: ,r. Sabin is here to file information
against Overs and will take the mat
ter before Governor Buchtel and ask
, for the requisition on the governor of
California with view to bringing
Overs back here to stand trial for
embe zzlement
Of course, Overs will resist re
QUESTION to the last ditch and we
have no doubt, but that rather than
be taken he would fly to some foreign
country.
At any rate the county is in for a
hard, hot and perhaps long -drawn-out
! battle. Others besides Overs, are
keeping their ears to the ground
