Trezlse's Successor.

The county commissioners yesterday
after much difficulty succeeded in OPEN
ing the small safe in the Office of the
late County Treasurer Chris. Trezise.
They had hoped to find letter or note
giving some reason for the rash act he
committed yesterday morning but
found nothing that would throw any
light upon the mystery. Today the
commissioners are examining the books.
These seem to be correct and show the
proper amount of funds on hand. Nor
ris Hazard is attending to the office.
Trezise's successor will likely be ap-
pointed Monday at the regular meeting
of the board or some time next week.
Up to the time of going to press they
had not decided upon anyone and prob
ably will regard the wishes of the party
in making the selection. 1t is not an
ticipated that the county will be secured
to find someone who will fill out the un-
expired term. l.. j. Williams has been
appointed by County Judge Matthews
to act as administrator of the Trezise
estate.

Bankers Excursion.

H. G. Shuck and others have
been in Denver this week working up
the big excursion of the Bankers asso-
citation which will be run to this county
Saturday. A meeting of those interest
ed in the county was held Tuesday even
ing at Denver in the Office of L. R.
Tatum to ascertain how many would
come and to complete all arrangements.
According to telephone message re-
ceived from Mr.. Shuck upwards of 500
will come on the special. The arrange
ments provide for visit to the mills in
Black Hawk, the tram trip, barbecue
on Pewabic mountain and short stay
in Central before the return trip to
Denver is made. The bankers will be
shown large gold retorts at the local
banks and will see the precious yellow
metal before it is stamped into coin. If
the weather is pleasant the excursion
will be the biggest success of any at
tempted this summer. The committee
in charge is composed of L. j. Rach-
ofsky, Thos. Dunstone and H ,rnan

His Brain-DastardIy Deed.

harm her daughter. He always show
ed fondness for the girl and assisted
her while she was receiving her musi-
cal education. To the writer short
time since in his office when he was dis
cussing his work, Trezise spoke of the
assistance Vera could be to him with
his books would she only work in the
office. She had assisted him some but
found other employment more pleasant
and for some time had not been in the
treasurer's office. Trezise thought the
girl ungrateful in not ding what she
could to help him after he had partly
betrayed the expenses of her musical
training.
Trezise had boarded at the Hicks
home since the death of Mrs. Hicks
husband three or four years ago. The
place was homelike to him and he
seemed contented excepting on occas-
ions when under the influence of liquor
When drinking he had frequently made
the threat that he was going to kill
himself, sometime including Mrs. Hicks
and Vera. No one took his assertions
seriously, considering his condition.
General sympathy is held out to the
girl for the unpleasant and unfortunate
position in which she finds herself. She
is absolutely innocent of any charge in
connection with the dastardly occur
renee as she only figured in the affair to
the extent necessary to protect herself.
The young lady is about 20 years of
age and has lived her life in Central
City. Her many friends embrace the
entire community and she is held in the
kindest esteem. The nature of her
wound is such that complications may
arise, which would cause her death
Last night she rested fairly well and
this morning the physicians said the
chances of recovery were in her favor.
Her death would add increased sorrow
to Wednesday mornings tragedy.
Christopher Trezise, who shocked the
county by his rash deed of Wednesday
morning was born in Cornwall, Eng
land He was past sc years of age and
came to Gilpin county thirty-four years
ago. He first worked at his trade of
miner, for some time working for days
pay. He then became interested in
leases and was very successful, making
several stakes. Thirteen years ago he
entered politics, first being elected
county assessor and afterwards coulty
treasurer. In the latter capacity he
served several terms and doubtless
would have been elected again this fall
had he lived. He was hard man to
defeat at the polls, seeming almost in
vincible. Trezise was single man and
the only surviving relatives are a
brother, Harry Trezise, and sister,
Miss Eliza Trezise, both of Nevada
vile. He was member of the Elks,
Red Men, X. of P. and the Sons of St.
George. The funeral will be held Sum-
day afternoon at 80 O'Clock under
the auspices of the Elks, interment in
Bald Mountain cemetery.

Good Strike in Sun and Moon.

The recent strike in the Sun and Moon
mine is certainly a source of great salts
faction to R. C. Bonney, the manager
as well as to the owners of the property.
1t was opened up in the upraise from
the Newhouse tunnel and also in the
twelfth level. 1t is carefully estimated
that during the month of September
fully 2400 ton of ore will be taken out
of this shoot. While the production of
this reliable mine has amounted to one
and one-half million dollars, it is esti-
mated that double this amount will be
taken from the extention of the old ore
shoots which have thus been opened
owing to the vast amount of virgin
ground. The company has been making
large expenditures in developing the
workings and their reward seems to be
Forthcoming. The company has empha-
sized the fact that with great depth the
veins grow larger and richer. Idaho

SCHOOL NOTES.

Arthur Mitchell entered school on
Monday.
Charles Vivian was a new student on
Monday.
MISS Clara Chase, recently of the
Long Beach, California, High school,
was enrolled in the high school on Tues
day.
While those who enrolled in school
during the first week have gained
great advantage over those. enrolling
late, nevertheless it is not too late yet to
enroll and this is particularly true of the
high school. A postal card mailed to
Mr.. Momyer or to Mr.. Green will bring
full information.concerning high school
courses and concerning work that may
profitably be undertaken at this time.
If business course should be added
next year, the student enrolling now
will have placed one year of prepara-
tory work to his credit and will be get
ting the benefit of the business
course year ahead of his dilatory COM
rade who postpones his entrance until
next year. Now is the time to enter
school if one expects to reap the benefit
Of the years work.
The sewing classes are making Tam
O'Shanter caps for themselves1 for win
ter wear.
The second primary pupils are doing
some especially fine work in phonics.
The child is thus early taught to as
certain for himself from the marking
of the letters, the pronunciation of new
words.
Pupils in the third room are digging
into multiplication and division drills
with vengeance. Each teacher in the
grades is making special effort to
make the pupils strong in the funda-
mentals of arithmetic before proceeding
with the advance work of the text. A
child must know how to add and sub
tract, to multiply and divide with skill
and rapidity before he will be permitted
to do advance work. If it takes two
months to meet this requirement in
every grade, it will be time proftably
spent.
Fifth grade pupils are leading the
school in the work in drawing. They
are also attaining an enviable reputa-
tios csr, good order and progress in
their work.
Rev. Lancaster, rector of the Epis-
copal church, visited the entire school
and addressed the high school on Friday.

that he is making a nice start in the

Democratic Judicial Ticket.

. The Democratic Judicial convention
of the First district was held in the
court house in this city Saturday.
Delegates representing the five counties
of the district were present and the
convention was a good-sized one. Only
a short time was required for the meet
ing to get down to business. H. A.
Hicks was elected chairman of the con-
vention and executed the duties of the
position in his usual able manner. Chas.
M. Mccall, of Jefferson county, was
nominated by acclamation for district
judge and w. M. Morgan, of Arapahoe
county, was nominated for district at
torney. The ticket is an exceptionally
good one. Mr.. Mccall has served as
judge of his county several terms and
possesses more than the average legal
ability and knowledge. His experience
as judge is quite extended, he having
acted as judge for Ben B. Lindsey in
the Denver court on numerous occasions
when Mr.. Lindsey was absent from the
city. Mr.. Morgan is also well qualified
to fill the Office of district attoney. He
resides at Englewood, at the outskirts
of Denver, and has practiced law for
some time both in Denver and Araphoe
counties. During Saturdays convention
addresses were delivered by several of
the legal lights present and the meeting
was the most enthusiastic and harmon
ious of any that has been held in the
district in years.

Permanent Bryan and Kern Club.

Considering the very disagreeable
condition of the weather, a good-sized
crowd attended the meeting held in the
Armory hall Saturday evening, held for
the purpose of perfecting permanent
organization of the Bryan and Kern
club. DR.. E. R. Fouts, the temporary
chairman, called the meeting to order
and the numerous Bryan admirers pre-
sent Immediately proceeded to effect
permanent organization. Dr. Fouts was
elected president and j. A. Noonan sec
retary. One vice-president from each
of the precincts of the county was
chosen.
After organizing finally time was
given over to addresses by B. j. O'Con-
nell, of Clear Creek county, Chas. NJ.
Mccall, of Jefferson county, and w. M.
Morgan, of Arapahoe county. These
talks were or political nature and the
speakers were enthusiastically received
by the audience. Before the meeting
adjourned numerous individuals in the
hall attached their signatures to the
list. Since the meeting of two weeks
ago lists have been placed in each pre-
cinct in the county and these have re-
ceived the names of several numbered
and others are rapidly being added.
Another meeting of the Bryan and Kern
club will be held after the county con-
vention, which has been called for Sat
