IL culllia ! Land I.
Office Case

Our readers will remember a pc
culiar land ONCE case which we pub
lished some months ago, concerning
Portal homestead. We are nov
able to give further particulars, u
this most unusual case. Some years
ago, . bewhiskered fellow, calling
himself Hugh ]. Mccullough, filed on
quarter section Of land, southwest
OF Portal. He rarely spoke to his
neighbors, and they did not know
him well. After proving up on the
land, he disappeared, and is sup
posed not yet to have returned. a
year or two after Mccullough dis
appeared, "a smooth shaven man APP
peared apd fled on land which Join
ed the Mccullough homestead. He
gave his name as Samuel III. Porter
and he had. a deed from Mccullough
for the land beside him. Neighbors
thought there was a great resem-
blance between the two men. Chas.
Finn Of Portal came to the conclus-
ion that Mccullough and Porter. were
one api the same person, 50 brot
a contest against the land that had
been filed on by Porter. In the
meantime, the government officials
got busy and sent marshal out to-
Porter's place Intending to arrest
him but in the meantime, the man
skipped. His wife is still living on
the land. Porter before leaving, how
ever, left mis- REIMBURSEMENT with his
attorneys and this Quinn purchased
for $500, there being about seven or
eight hundred dollars worth of i'm
provements on the land. Quinn flied
on the land on Nov. 10 of the present
year. His attorney was Geo. A.
Gilmore. It is now generally be-
lieved that Porter. and Mccullough
were the identical same person. This
was certainly a foOlhardy trick, i'll
Potter did as his accusers allege.
George J. Smith missed a train at
Douglas about three weeks ago while
out campaigning AMI his two over
coats and a grip went on to Mino,.
Mr.. Smith recovered his grip and
light coat later, but was never able
TO locate his $50 coon skin over coat
until Monday evening when he saw
it hanging from a hook in hotel at
Berthoid. Smith took possession Of
his coat The man in whose charged
it was said that he had bought the !
coat from a 500 employee named
for nine dollars. The man
had explained to him that the owner
had gone east and that if he ever
called it might be necessary to ask
for it's return. Smith is investigatingI
the matter and may ask Chambers
TO explain juts how he. became
possessor of tine coat.

The death of the aged man was
not unexpected. His condition had
been critical for several days. The
DEATH however, was attended by cir
cumstances that made it one of the
saddest that has occurred in the city
in many months.
For a long period the old soldier s
mind had seemed to be failing. About
two weeks ago his reason almost en-
tirely left him, and it became neces-
sary to place him in confinement for
a number of days. He was then re-
moved to his home. his physical
strength began to break away rap
idly and last night Death entered
the home and put an end to the suf-
ferings of the aged man.

tions, the old gentleman was gener-

Among the facts set forth in the
most interesting report made by DR..
n. H. Lee. presiding elder of this
district (the Rio Grande district) of
the Methodist conference. are the fol-
lowing that will be of great interest
to local Methodists:
The Rio Grande district includes
more than 81 of the 50 counties in
the state. We began the year with
"a churches and ended with Al.
Frost killed fruit and aided the finan-
cial panic in curtailing our income.
In spite of this fact, the pastors have
pushed the work successfully, and
most of them report increase. Only
two men changed their work during
the year, the smallest number in
the history of the district. Revivals
have been common and fruitful. The
pastors report 15.066 visits. We
have AZ Sunday schools. "a Junior
leagues and 3S senior leagues. Over
500 conversions have been reported.
Four hundred have been received on
probation"
The success of each pastor was de-

Grand Junction, Colo.
There are no secrets in this cam

breaches. Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied. other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERN
MENT.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang-
ling alliances. free to serve all class
es of honest citizens alike, or he will
not enter it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terestS.
Special interests and favored class
es. having secured "SWOLLEN FOR
TUNES" by purchasing favors in the
past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED
TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand
ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR
CONTINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives dollar unless it
buys pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says. from March 4,
1909, LET THE PEOPLE RULE"
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections
BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS

That policy of the favored few
buying a mortgage on the govern
ment meant that the candidate for

You can serve the grand cause of
popular government through the col

Mankind pays tribute to those who
accomplish things; the people admire
men who have done something; the
populace take interest in men who
are doing. who have energy, nerve.
daring and are creative; they like
real men and love all things real.
This is. no doubt, reason for the
continued popularity OF Colonel Co
dy, who from a boy as wagon cour-
ier, rode dangerous trails not only
on starry and moonlight but on the
darkest nights, Drawing a myriad of
dangers that attended the task, con-
tinuing a career in this line up to
the finish of it's necessity, and then
still undertaking tasks that required
courage and business nerve to under
take and mental and physical work
to execute, and these always in the
limelight, and well known to the last
two generations. Even his successive
trips abroad have necessitated the
chartering of sixteen ocean-going
vessels to plow the Atlantic.

FIRE ADDS TO MINE HORROR.
Bodies Of 214 Persons Recovered and
Are Buried Friday.

Yosovo, European Russia, July A.
The bodies Of 214 persons recovered
from the Rikovsky mine, which was
the scene of an explosion OF gas were
buried Friday.
The horror of the situation was add
ed to by fire which broke out Friday
morning. 1t penetrated the inner gal
leries where $50 men are imprisoned
and made the efforts of the rescue
parties almost useless. In the dis.
lance from behind heaps of fallen de-
bris could be heard cries for help all
day. Flfty-three bodies we're taken
out Friday, all terribly mutilated.
Some of the men had been burned to
death, while the heads and limbs Of
others had been torn off by the force
Of the explosion. Seventy-five wound
ed were also taken out and removed to
hospitals. OF these, ten succumbed
during the day and many others are
In a precarious condition. Three
women who stood at the mouth Of the
pit and recognized the bodies Of their
husbands, dropped dead from shock.
A number of others have gone mad.

TREASURY CONDITION 0. K.
90 SAYS SECRETARY coRTELYoU
IN A STATEMENT.
Deficit ls seo,eoo,ooo, In Round Num-
bers-New Debt Created Placed
At About 100000.

Washington. July 4.-Regarding the
condition Of the United States treasury
Secretary Cortelyou issued a state
ment. Secretary Cortelyou's state
ment follows:
Although the treasury statements
show q deficit in round numbers Of
S~60.00o.0o0 In the operations Of the
government during the fiscal year
Just closed. the deficit is more appar-
emit than real, being due to an anti.
Quated system of bookkeeping which
Secretary Cortelyou ia having over
hauled and modernized. Considering
the ordinary receipts Of the govern
ment there. is not only no deficit but
. surplus. The amount Of new debt
created during the year was only
100000 in excess of the amount Of
the old debt redeemed; and $85, 900, 900
was expended in new public works, of
which less than half was paid for by
the creation Of q funded debt.
1.-TWO of the fundamental errors in
the present system of making up the
treasury statements are that the pro-
ceeds Of bonds sold are not counted
In the receipts, but all the money
which is paid out for the purposes for
which the bonds are issued IL included
in expenditures. In this respect the
practice Of the United States treasury
departs from that Of all other impor-
tant governments. The latter take
care to discriminate between ordinary
receipts, which are devoted to tho
actual running expenses Of the gov
eminent and extraordinary receipts,
which are set aside for permanent
public works or other special pur-
poses. The total amount expended
by this government for various public
works, including the Panama canal,
during the past fiscal year, was $84,-
825,328.
Under q proper method of book.
keeping this amount would be charge
able to extraordinary expenditures to
be me- by~loans.
THE deficiency in extraordinary re-
ceipts paid from surplus or ordinary
receipts and from the free balance in
the treasury was $75.890, 1913. The
items included under extraordinary
expenditures are such as might be
properly covered by the issue Of bonds
instead of paid out of current
revenues"
