MOUNTAIN SHEEP

Harold 8. McKpab. who was ar
rested at Canon City last week by
Deputy Game Warden Givens for kill
ing a large mountain sheep near
Kramer. z or miles northeast OF
Canon City. yesterday morning en-
tered plea of guilty as charged be-
fore Justice Cooper OF the county
court and was fined $500 and costs.
McKnab. being unable to pay his fine.
was committed to the county jail to
serve out his fine at the rate of 81
a day.
While his punishment is an unus-
ually severe one, he does not receive
great deal of sympathy, as public
sentiment throughout that part of
the state is strongly opposed to the
killing of mountain sheep, which are
almost extinct.
MKnab Is young man of good
appearance. about &c years of age,
and came here from old Mexico.
where he had been employed with
a mining company.
The hide and head of the sheep
we're yesterday morning purchased
by ]. NJ. Kramer. on whose ranch the
animal was slaughtered. 1t is an
exceptionally fine specimen and the
price paid for the hide is said to
have been 500.

BACK TO FRANKLIN THEORY.
Modern Scientists May Be Forced to
Rehabilitate It.

More than = hundred years have
elapsed since Benjamin Franklin. en-
ploying a phraseology now superseded,
put forth q theory of matter. says
writer In Current Literature. It was
pronounced "a delusion" by the physi-
cists Of the ninteenth century, but the
scientists of the twentieth century. ac-
cording to Sir Oliver Lodge. may be
forced to rehabilitate 1t as the only
means OF issue from the labyrinth in
which all physical study is now involv-
ed. Stripped of technical verbiage and
put briefly. the Franklin theory is that
electricity and matter In combination
form a neutral substance, which Is the
atom of matter as we know. It. The
most interesting part of the problem
for ourselves. says Sir oliver. is the
explanation of matter in terms of cleo
tricity. the view that electricity. as
Franklin seems to have supposed. the
fundamental substance" What we
men of to-day have been accustomed
10 regard as an indivisible atom of
matter is thus built up out of cleo
tricity. All atoms-atoms of all sorts
of "substances''--are built up of the
Bame thing. In our day. to put it more
clearly, the theoretical and proximate
achievement of what philosophers
from Franklin's day to ours have al
ways sought-a unification of matter
lis offering itself to physical inquiry.

ANOTHER EXCURSION MAY 8
Valley People show Santa Feans what a
Live Bunch of People there are down
here and how to Boost.

The excursion to Santa Fe Sunday
proved such a success, despite the rain,
that the Santa Fe Central has decided
to edo it again" on May Sd. The spec.
ial WAS loaded to the guards before
reaching Santa Fe, although large
number who intended going remained
at home on account of the rain.
The crowd took the ancient city by
by storm, it being said by some that
there was more enthusiasm in old San
Ia Fe last Sunday than there had beer
for a century or more. The valley peo-
pie went with flying colors, and as is
their second nature boosted" all the
time. The boosting spirit is simply
irrepressible among the people who cal
the valley their home. The ball game
resulted in defeat for our boys, Du'
even this was not sufficient to cool theil
ardor.
On May Sd another special will be
run to Santa Fe, the rates being the
same as before, although the time o.
departure will be later and more con
venient. The Barelas Grays OF Albu
querque and the Salmon Grays OF Sant'
Fe are to cross bats, with secont
game between the winners and team
from the valley. With a bright day, tn
Central will have to buy, beg, borrow
or steal some coaches to handle tn
crowd that will go.

-hundredths more was added, bring
ing the total for this month up to three
and fifty-four one-hundredths inches.
Naturally the people of the valley are
in the best of spirits, for with the usual
precipitation during July and August,
good crops are practically assured.
Last year the heavy SHOWS followed by
the extremely heavy frosts occurred at
this time, the latter putting the season
back several weeks. So far this year we
have not experienced the heavy late
freezes and consequently growing crops
are doing we'll. The winter wheat and
rye, that have had half a chance bid
fair to harvest abundant crops.
Land which had been broken during
the fall and winter, is in the very best of
tilth, and with the right cultivation will
retain the moisture for several months
to come. The farmers are hard at work,
plowing and seeding being done on the
majority of the quarter sections in the
valley.
