Hopkins CONVICTED
Of KILLING DEER
Prom s.surd.y's Dsuy fosl

Denying positively all guilt in
connection with the charges of
violating the game laws preferred
against him by Chief Game War
den Fred Gordon, John Hopkins,
who was placed on trial yester-
day, produced witnesses this NOR
ming who testified in his behalf.
The trial is being held in the
district court room, there not be-
ing sufficient accommodations in
Judge Hedden's Office.
Hopkins took the stand late
yesterday afternoon. A jury of
six had been selected, and Special
Prosecutor S. j. Sackett of Den
kett of Denver called Mr.. Gordon
and Deputy Warden Joe Hurt
zen, who told of, the finding of
the hides and parts of the carcas-
ses of six deer at the Hopkins
ranch on Cattle creek. The at
torney for the defendant, Judge
Noonan, admitted that the hides
and venison had been found as
stated, and the state then closed
its case, depending on the statute
for conviction.
Judge Noonan made the open
ing statement for the defense,
which in substance was that the
deer had been legally killed dur
ing the open season, one each by
the following persons: John Hop
kins, DIR. Granville Hopkins, L. G
Taft of Glenwood, Walter T. Dai-
gle. A. f. Smith and J. w. Dun
smith.
After the defendant had given
his testimony court adjourned
till this morning. when DIR. Hop
kins, l.. c. Taft and Mrs. John
Hopkins were called to verify the
statements of the defendant. In
rebuttal, Steve Baxter, e. A. Pur-
inton and w. w. Carpenter were
called. Mr.. Purinton stated that
to the best of his belief one of the
deer had been dead not longer
than forty days, and therefore
had been killed after the expira-
tion of the open season. The
case will go to the jury this even
ing.
The Glenwood post., 1908-02-22
From Fridays Daily Post.

John Hopkins was convicted
last evening by a jury in Justice
Hedden's court on the charge OF
violation of the game law. In the
complaint against Hopkins it was
charged that he had in his poss
session on February 10 last the
hides and parts of the carcasses
of six deer.
The jury last evening found
that Hopkins was guilty on three
counts of the complaint, this
meaning that the law was violat-
ed as far as three deer were con
cerned. The costs of the case also
were assessed against Hopkins on
the three counts.
Hopkins is a rancher and owns
valuable place on Cattle creek.
Game Warden Fred Gordon,
who has more convictions to his
credit than any other game war;
den in Colorado, visited Hopkins
place ON the date mentioned and
found the hides and meat. The
defense made no attempt to deny
the discovery. The law on the
subject is quite plain. Hopkins
was able to account clearly for
three deer, they having been
turned over to him by persons
who had taken out hunting Ii
censes and tags according to the
statute. AS to the others, the evi
idence was not clear, and this re-
suited in the conviction of the de.
fendant.
The jury decreed that Hopkins
should pay a fine of $25 and costs
ON each count. The fine and costs
will total about $175; this being
in addition to the defendant S at
torney's fees.
The states case was presented
by s. j. Sackett. attorney for the
state game and fish commissioner,
in very able manner. +

Mr.. Kendrick says the capercail-
zie will be of great value to the
mountainous sections of the state

in severe and stormy weather on
the buds and cones of the pine

well wherever our grouse and

THE HRNNERY.

The big brahmas are still popular, of
course, but leghorns are the great Colo
rado favorites. In fact, everywhere
west Of Chicago. leRhorns now lead
where the Plymouth Rocks formerly
did, because eggs are relatively higher
than meat.
There is money in chicken raising if
the business il handled properly and e
proper system of feeding produces
fowls in Colorado that answer every
purpose. In fact a superior grade Of
birds can be raised here if enough at.
tention is paid to the work. The west
needs to learn that it must combat
lot of old theories in order to develop
the hen business to the best advan.
tage.
For 1000 pounds of laying hens, Of
about three to four pounds average
weight, the daily food requirement is
from sixty-fve to seventy pounds Of
total food, or about ifty-two pounds Of
water free food, containing nine
pounds of carbohydrates or starchy
material. For each hen the amounts
would be three and one-quarter ounces
of total food, two and Gne-quarter
ounces of dater free food and .43 oun-
ces of flesh-f formers with about 1.2
of fat and heat producers. For 1000
pounds live weight of hens, the weight
of which averages about six pounds,
the daily food requirements would be
forty to fifty pounds Of total food, con-
tanning thiry-four pounds of absolute
" dry matter, which should comprise
six pounds of digestible protein, four
teen pounds of carbohydrates and two
pounds of fat.
The Wyandottes are one of the most
important breeds of American produc-
ton. Indeed, they might properly be
called our most popular breed. Prior to
the year 1888 there were no wyan-
dottes. For dozen years before that
date numerous fanciers in various sec
tions of the country had been at work
trying to develop some new variety
that might bring them such fame and
profits as had come to those who had
originated and perfected the Plymouth
rocks. So when these new birds-the
outcome of their labors-were recog-
nized as worthy of a classification as o
standard variety of the American Poul
try Association, their name was born
with them. The Wyandotte Indians
had formerly occupied those parts of
New York and Michigan in which these
fowls or their Immediate progenitors,
were first cultivated. They had flour
ished there under various names, such
as Hambrights, Hambletonians. Colum
bians, seabright Cochins, seabright
Brahmas and American Seabrights.
Much bitterness as to. name was mani
fest among the various fanciers who
were urging admissio INTO the standard
and when the final name was proposed
it was like oil upon the troubled wat
ers, and it was accepted as happy So
luton of the difficulty.

THIS LAD HAS A
BUSINESS HEAD.
r.o,,, Alauda.r,a na;lu Dark

A remarkable boy arrived IN
Glenwood today.
His name is Floyd Clymer and
he is - years of age.
He is the son of DR.. j. Floyd
Clymer of Berthoud, Colo. The
doctor brought a patient suffer.
ing from rheumatism to Glen
wood for the benefit of the baths,
and his son came along just for
the trip. Some time ago Floyd
became interested in automobiles.
His father, seeing that the lad
meant business. purchased tour
ing car for him, and all last sea
son young Clymer ran the car
from Berthoud through Estes
park. carrying pa ssengers. He
found this to be profitable. He
studied the machine and is able
today to take big, complicated
machine apart and put it togeth-
er again.
On the first of the present year
the boy accepted the agency for
a big automobile manufacturing
house, and since then he has sold
nineteen machines, the prices
ranging from $500 to $1,000 each.
His commissions, of course are
considerable.
Young Clymer still wears short
pants. but he can talk "automo-
bile" with the ease of an old-time
agent In company with his ia
ther he called upon Druggist
Fred Ewing this morning. He
Informed Mr.. Ewing that he
could teach him in an hour how
to run an auto up and down the
street 'But it would take prob
ably a week." added the young
ster, ito show you how to make
your own repairs in case your
machine broke down."
For some little time the lad ell
gagged the druggist in converse
tion concerning the merits Of
certain machine which Ewing is
thinking of purchasing. He point
ed out the alleged defects of the
machine mentioned by Ewing as
compared with the Comfy" auto
which he (the boy) is selling.
He is one of the most inter-
esting boys I ever talked to-"
said the druggist after his inter-
view with the youthful agent.
"He seems to know all about the
business, and now that he shows
such good sense and hustling
ability so early in life, there is
every reason that he will some
day be rich by his own work.
Young Clymer says that he be-
lieves he can run his automobile
from Denver to Glenwood in two
days, and he is going to make the
attempt when the roads are clear
next summer.
The patient who was advised to
come here by DR.. Clymer is suf-
fering from rheumatism. One
bath in the mineral water yester.
day greatly relieved him. He had
to be carried to and from the
bath house to his room, but be-
lieves that in day or two he will
be able to walk to the baths with
out assistance.

BEING uP.ro.D,Are.
Live Business Men the Ones Who
Make the Greatest Success.

@ The man in business is out to win
or he wouldn't be in business. There
are many little details that must be
looked after, must be studied and
which are essential to success. Many
merchants, particularly in small
towns, are kept SO busy wrapping up
bits of ginghams, Weighing out sugar
and doing the hundred and three 9TH
er things, that they think they have
no time to give all these little essen
tials attention. These days the mer-
chant is really up against a hard
game, unless he keeps right in line
and to the front. Statistics show that
80 per cent of those who engage in
the retail trade fail.
People must buy necessities. The
average mortal wants the best he can
get for the least money. Merchant
Jones can't sell at any higher prices
than Brown on the opposite side of
the street sells like goods for, and
Browns method is pretty good.
Brown has captured good trade,
and on some lines gets sitter prices.
How does he do 1t? Look at the ar
rangement of his goods. He has a
place for everything, and everything
properly in its place, and displayed to
the greatest advantage. He hasn't
his potatoes and his apples mixed In
a heap and his tomatoes and other
canned goods of the vegetable class
mixed with his jellies and his jams;
neither are the labels so covered with
dust that the goods look as if they
were held in stock for years. You can
just bet Brown is up-to-date, his goods
are so arranged that people find a
pleasure in stopping in front Of the
store and looking at the show win.
dows, and go through the door and
see the harmony and order in all the
arrangement of his stock. Brown
himself is no slouch, his attire is plain
but neat, no gaudy display and his
temper is always even, and a smile
is for every customer, and all his
clerks are required to keep them
selves neat and show the greatest
courtesy to everyone who enters the
store. Then, again, he sees that goods
are delivered promptly, no delay in
getting your sugar, your butter and
all that you order from Brown, for he
is always Johnny-on-the-spot. Then
again, he keeps all his customers feel
ing well; he always believes In an
era of good feeling; he is sympathetic.
Then Brown is man who doesn't
believe in keeping set of books for
the purpose of charging up poor ac-
counts. He has knack of collecting
his bills so his customers feel they
are under obligations to him, and
while he is stickler for making cash
sales, sometimes good responsible
customers want little credit, and
get 1t. Merchants like Brown are the
kind that build up the home town.

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer-
chants Of Western City.


A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead OF attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit Of the whole commu-
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For In
stance, club is organized In q
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street are persuaded to
join. II 1t Is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation Is had to see how 1t can
be done, how much 1t will cost and
what 1t is worth. The plan has worked
go successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting certain restricted territory.
It is much easier to secure co-opera-
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence OF the
few spreads in q widening circle
