boss, was ordered out of the hospital
and afterward beaten up when he re
sisted arrest, occurred in front of the
office of Justice of the Peace Hedden
shortly before noon today, but fortu-
nately there was no bloodshed.
Hayslip who had been placed under
arrest by Deputy Sheriff Jack Fry af-
ter giving the officer hard fight had
been tried berore Judge Hedden and
found guilty of simple assault and
battery although the more serious
charge Of resisting an officer could have
been successfully prosecuted, and fined

At an enthusiastic meeting of the Re
publican county central committee

10 O'Clock this morning by Chairman
w. S. Parkison it was decided to hold

1t WAS left to the chairman and secre-
tary to fill any vacancies which may
occur hereafter in the committee Com
munications were read from the Gar
field County Republican club, also
from State Chairman Vivian relative
to the necessity for making poll of
the varoius precincts throughout the
state.
The question of whether one or two
conventions should be held next en-
gagged the attention of the committee
and after considerable discussion it
was decided to hold but one convention
for the double purpose of nominating
county officers and naming delegates to
the state convention. The majority of
sentiment seemed to favor so doing,
partially on account of the saving in
expense and owing to the long dis

F. M. JOHNSON HAS CLOSE CALL

From Mondays Daily Post.
Attempting, while somewhat under
the influence of liquor, to do thing
that would be dangerous for a young
man in full possession of his faculties,
F. NJ. johnson, an elderly carpenter of
this city, yesterday fell under the
wheels of Rio Grande train and be-
fore anyone could interpose hand, was
rolled over to the side of the rails with
his right foot. crushed to bloody
pulp.
The accident happened about noon
yesterday in full view of hundreds of
people standing on the Rio Grande
station platform, none of whom, how
ever, was close enough to seize the un-
fortunate man before the wheels
touched him. Train No. 3, westward
bound, was pulling out of the station
and had attained speed of probably
30 miles an hour when johnson who
had intended to take it started on a
run and made leap for the front
platform of one of the rear coaches.
He missed his footing and people
standing around who had not noticed
him, hearing shout turned in tint
to see him miss his footing and e
down almost under the wheels. Fol

RELIGION OF LABOR.

Life is such a struggle to the aver
age workingman," some one says, chat
he can't stop to be religious" He does
not need to. Christ didn't come to ask
men to give up their boat; and their
nets and spend their time in singing
hymns. He came to show men how to
glOrify God in their common toll. The
man who has to stop his work before
he can be religious isn't engaged in the
right sort of work. When one has taken
the Image Of Christ into MS life. the
grinCstOno over which he bends can not
hide him from his vision, nor can the
roar Of machinery drown the heavenly

With a rigor that recalls the Spanish
inqui5ition does the church In Russia
punish any open searching after the
higher truth, any unsanctioned attempt
TO apply practically the teachings OF
Christ. especially on the part Of those
within its own fold. The records OF the
Solovetzkaya monastery contain an ac-
count Of a man who was cast into its
prison at the age OF twenty-five. and
held there, because he refused 10 re-
cant. tin he was ninety. He was then

relatives and friends were gone, and
life meant nothing TO him, he begged
