After the reading and approval of
the minutes, the rules were suspended
in order that c. NJ. Keck might ad-
dress the council. He asked the body
to appropriate not to exceed 800 for
the annual road race; he thought that
he would not need all of that sum. but
wanted authority to have that mucn
at his disposal. He submitted data
showing that this event, which
is to be held August End.
brought into Glenwood Springs be
tween 1900 and 1000 people. The
usual special is to be run from Trand
Junction. The matter was laid over
until Wednesday night when the board
will meet again.
Taylor Talks for Dr.. Crook.
In behalf of his friend, Dr. Crook.
Senator E. T. Taylor appeared, and
stated that, in his opinion, the town
should stand the expense of the cement
gutter put in by the physician, and for
which he presented bill to the board
some weeks ago.
Citing precedent. Senator Taylor
named the pages of the minutes on
which would be found an account of
the payment of similar improvements
made by himself and Mr.. Keck; also
he read statement from ]. l.. Her
wick stating that the latter had been
paid for work he had done, by the
town.
81 have no interest in the matter
except as citizen. j believe it is
worth $50 year to keep the park
ing in condition, and that in paying
this bill you will be making wise
economic move. Parking is an aid to
civic beauty. Glenwood Springs has
the reputation of being one of the
prettiest towns in the state and we
want to keep that reputation.
cdr. Crook tells me that the work
was done under the direction of Street
Commissioner Perry Mallaby, and l
believe that we should all be treatel
alike. believe that the town boar'l
should encourage the parking system.
Concerning Cotton on Trees.
"while l am on my feet I should
like to say a word in reference to the
cure for cotton on our trees. The
boring of the big trunks with four
inch augur seems to have had bene-
Acial effect, and / would suggest that
those which were bored last year, be
e-bored. Myself and DR.. Clark bave
been watching a tree in front of my
house which I bored, on the sugges
ton of J. M. Woodward; there is a
noticeable depreciation in the cottor
production, and on one tree in front
of DR.. Clark's house, which was Sc
treated there is no cotton whatever.
And If Glenwood Springs can solv'
the problem of eliminating this nui
,ance, it will be not only benefit t.
the town, but a Godsend to the stat'

witness for the prosecution, as a per
jurer, one who always bobs up in every
trial of Adams with the required evi
dence upon which it is hoped to con
vict him.
Never before has such bitter ex.
coriation been heard in a Western Co.
dorado courtroom. After placing Wells
upon the spit and turning him over
Judge Hilton entered into a scathing
denunciation of the Pinkertons and
their methods which, he asserted, were
! criminal.
Like peal of thunder the dramatic
appeal of the advocate went crashin :
through the courtroom. Congressman
Hogg arose to protest and Hilton e1-
claimed:
81 thought you would begin to get
to your feet. 1t will not, however,
have any effect in breaking the thread
of my argument"
"Your charge is false, - thundered
Hogg as he apepaled to the court to
prevent Hilton from bringing the
Pinkertons into the case, and the cour.
sustained him warning Hilton that he
must confne himself to the evidence.
"You must not pay any attention TO
this diatribe on the Pinkertons,' said
Judge Shackleford addressing the jury.
+ Judge Hilton Immediately entered
spirited objection and exception to the
ruling. He declared that the Pinker-
tons were in the case and that the
evidence showed this fact.
"You must refrain from this kind
of talk, ~ again warned the court but
Hilton continued and Hogg leaped to
his feet.
"He is talking along the same line. -
he pleaded.
Cannot Stop Me-
eyes, I am" SNAPPED Hilton amt
Hogg asked the court if there was
any way to stop the defense's chief
counsel.
"Can you suggest any'" asekd Hill
ton as he bent over the table and
glared in the prosecutors eyes.
"Neither court or council will
abridge my right to discuss this case
before this jury on the law and evi::
dence,' said Hilton emphatically and
despite the warning of the court he
continued to excoriate the Pinkertons
for the part they had played in the
Adams case.
81 want to select from this bunch of
human jackals that are following this
defendant with their tongues lollins
out and their noses to the ground
certain few choice leaders, F" continued
Hilton, "and show you, as 1 think l
can, what their commission has been
and how royalty they have discharged
it. And first permit me to observe that
it is no pleasure for me to bring
railing accusation alone against any
man or set of men, but I desire early
in the inquiry to look earnestly into
every eye that glistens before me and
say to you--do you not know these peo-
pie, these Pinkerton butchers and
scoundrels, and realize under their evi-
dence here the part they have played
in this eowardly and merciless prose
cution' Do you not know their work
when you see it and their mission,
whenever called, whether in the mining
camps or the fruitful valleys, anywhere
everywhere, their vile shadows fall,
that perjury stalks close behind and
villainy and false witness go hand in
hand together"
The courtroom was painfully still as
Hilton kept up his bitter arraignment
of the Pinkertons. The dull monoto'
nous hum of two diminutive electric
fans which have not attempted to fur
nish relief from the intense heat, could
plainly be heard for the first time in
many days.

the life of Steve Adams in your

flonrish-the impressive notes of his

the last words for the alleged slayer

Smuggler Union mine at Telluride.

ragged, thunder peals of rhetoric fol-
lowing the lightning flashes of his
logic, ripping zephyrs of tender plead
ing succeeding angry blasts of denun-
citation. Then, at length, came the
calm after the storm. The last word
being uttered, the final thought being
driven home, the eloquent advocate al
lowed his voice to drop to drama
tic whisper, and few minutes before
5 clock yesterday afternoon the fate
of the defendant was given into the
hands of the twelve ranchmen who will
Judge him.
District Attorney Hugo Solig sum
med up yesterday morning, speaking
for more than an hour and half. This
morning Former Congressman Hogg
will make the closing address for the
prosecution. He has announced that
he will consume less than two hours
and in view of this fact the jury prob
ably will retire for deliberation by
noon and it is possible that Adams
will walk out of the dingy little court
room a free man before the sun sinks
in the golden west, or else be taken
back to remain behind prison stone
and bars where he has already spent
more than two years and half.
Adams is hopeful of acquittal. He
said so yesterday afternoon and was
extremely cheerful when he received
telegram from the Western Fedora

held in Denver that they had confidence
in his innocence, believed he would be
liberated and sent him words of COM

There are evidently some big pine
trees left up in the northwestern
part of the State Here is a descrip-
tion of one of them sent by G. W.
Edgerly, OF Old Town. scaler at the
lumber camp of Flavien Choumard
on the northwest branch OF the St.
John River.
This pine had three branches. and
the tree was three feet ten inches
through at the butt log. From the
tree were taken but two butt logs.
each sixteen feet long. and four logs
fourteen feet long were taken from
each of the branches. The top log
was thirteen inches through at the
top. All Of these logs were sound
white pine. Besides these logs one
piece eight feet long at the forks OF
the branches was left in the woods.
Fourteen logs from one pine is
certainly a good record, and shows,
that all the monarchs of the forest
from which Maine takes her name OF
the Pine Tree State are not gone yet.

CHURCH RECEIVERS
FAMOUS ABBEY.
Old Glastonbury Structure, Sold
Last June, Saved TO the British
Nation-lis Legends.

The famous old Glastonbury An
hey has been saved to the British
nation, though the purchase price Of
$4,000 ts15O,OO0) has not yet been
fully subscribed. Mr. Ernest Jardine,
who bought II at the sale last June,
has handed over the historic building
to the Bishop of Bath and Wells, who
In turn has invested the property In
trustees.
At last, therefore, the venerable
ruins and part of the estates sur
rounding them have been restored to
the Church.
Glastonbury Abbey is one of the
most interesting buildings in Eng
land. According to the legend, JOS
eph of Arimathea came hither bear
ing the Holy Grail and founded the
first Christian church in Britain. The
present abbey was built by Henry de
Blois In 1886.
A story is told of the abbot's kit
chen. Some of the old abbots used
to entertain so lavishly that certain
English monarch threatened the de-
structlon of the wooden kitchen. So
the monks built stone kitchen, with
walls several feet thick. which they
thought would withstand assaults.
The kitchen exists now in a good
state of preservation. Four oxen
could be roasted In II at once.
When It was announced last year
that the abbey was for sale fears
were expressed regarding the historic
pile being bought by an American
syndicate for removal across the
ocean, but Mr. Ernest Jardlne, of
Nottingham. came to the rescue and
acquired the property for $4,000.
though he never intended to perma-
nently retain it. and now the abbey
has been restored to the nation and
the Church of England.

A MONKEY TRICK.

The nature and character of the
monkey are not changed by any train
ing that he may receive. All the
tricks that may be taught him will
add little to what he is accustomed
to practice in his wild state. The
chief difference to him is that he has
a different set of victims to torment
Captain J. A. Lawson, the author of
"wanderings in the Interior of New
Guinea. had chance to watch the
rascals in their native wilds and ma
tive wildness, and he found them up
TO the same mischievous pranks as
they play here on the city streets.
One trick of theirs is described.
Every little while we passed under
trees occupied by troops of monkeys.
some of them OF the large kind that
had given us so much trouble on a
former occasion. They were a little
better hammered at this place. One
large tree in which they lad estab-
lished their quarters stretched its
branches over the water twenty yards
or more.
While | was watching the antics
OF the monkeys, two crocodiles
showed their heads just underneath.
and remained stationary with their
ugly snouts sticking up in the air. In
other countries this is common
dodge of the orocodiles to entice tbs
I monkeys within their reach, and
expected now to see one or more ol
the noisy animals fall victims to tht
goggle-eyed monsters belo@, and will
! considerable curiosity l awaited the
result,
As soon as the black-looking heads
popped up the monkeys became
silent. Presently one big fellow
! evidently one of authority in this
monkey republic-eame down to re-
connoiter. He returned, and in a
few minutes came down again with
a long, thin stick in his hand. and
accompanied by about hundred of
his companions. They began to chat
ter and pelt their foes; but the croc-
odiles took no notice; and | thought
they seemed to give a wink of salts
/ faction at seeing their silly victims
coming within their reach. Nearer
and nearer they came, until some OF
them were barely six feet above the
crocodiles; and l was expecting every
instant to see one of them dragged
under the water. All of a sudden
the monkey with the stick leaned
over and drove it into the eye of the
crocodile nearest him. The wounded
reptile sank like lead, and was quick
ly followed by its comrade.
There was no mistaking the howl
of delight that greeted this stratagem
and its success. 1t was perfectly hu-
man in its tone, and was taken up
with vengeful glee by all the mon
keys in the neighborhood. The gray-
ity of demeanor with which the old
fellow committed this assault was
laughable in the extreme. He went
to work with all the caution of an
old lawyer. and when he had inflicted
, the poke he hauled himself aloft with
/ an alacrity that showed he could
form a very good estimation of the
danger which he ran.
