COULDN'T TAKE A JOKE
THAT WAY.

THAT WAY.
D. G. York and two men named
Durham and Durane engaged in .
difficulty in York's store ohor.
seven miles from Cotton plant
last Monday morning, in tho
course of which Durane was fatally
shot. From the evidence TINS 90.
elected the affair seems to have
been the elimination of lono 90
rles OF acts and threats on the part
OF the two men to intimidate D q
York, who, with his brother Wal.
ter, occupied the premises. These
acts, it is alleged by the states
witnesses, were not meant sAr;ons
~ but were merely designed for
the purpose of having "tun" with
the elder York. That this was not
York's understanding of the mat
ter IS shown by the facts that he
had repeatedly left his house and
lay IN the weeds to escape from
them; that he had often mod
them presents, and but recently
gave one of them ten dollars in
the hope of inducing them to
cease their prosecutions.
But that "unwritten law which
condones so many needless acts of
poor humanity, has no mercy for q
fool. These men had failed To
learn that even the worm will
turn. 80 last Monday, when they
entered York's store, and in the
rookos that followed, Durane seiz-
ed a cleaver and avowed his unal..
terable determination to cut York,s
head off, the latter did what any
man OF sense would have expected
him to do-rushed behind his
counter, got a A Colt and fred
point black at the breast of his
assailant.
Stunned by the shock Durane
ran out of the store and in the di.

porch, had heard the firing, and

road, followed by Walter York.
who continued to fire at the fleeing
man until Durane fell and died in
the road.
The Yorks were brought to Cot
ton Plant and detained in custody
until Wednesday, when, after q
preliminary examination by JUS
tices Fesperman and Patton, the
elder York was discharged and
Walter York bound over to the

No flock will pay unless healthy and
vigorous If your fowls are often sick
when those of your neighbors appear
in good health, both having good
management, 1t indicates a constitu-
tional defect Of some kind. and a lack
of vigor. Usually 1t requires too much
time to attempt to breed vigor into
such fowls, and nothing short of a COM
plete change of stock can effect cure.

Where - poaunk 2

II has not been many years since the
popular expressions in the east to de-
note remoteness and outlandishness
were such place names as Oshkosh
and Kalamazoo. Yet both these places
are now hustling cities having popu-
lation Of more than $4,000: and each is
approximately as near the geographi-
cal center of population as Chicago
and St Louis.
The standard expression to denote
rural obscurity Is "Podunk" Every
body has heard of Podunk; but where
is it, There is no Podunk in the list
OF so 900 federal post Offices. The
United States board on geographic
names has thrown only little light on
the subject by decreeing recently as
follows: "Quaboag; pond in Brookfield

sets. Not North. nor Podunk" 10

WHY NOT SAY SO?" demanded
Thomas. IF there are any objection
able features contained in these reso-
lutions. there is but one thing for re
spectacle Democratic men and women
to do and that is to eliminate the OBJ
jectionable matters without evasion.
This brought Mayor Speer to the
platform in support of the substitute
offered by Mr.. Barnett. He said:
HOne of the curses of Democracy is
too much platform. We resolve too
much and do too little. We are con
sidered too much as faultfinders. We
are continually finding iault-tearing
down and hot building up.
Il had hoped no platform would be
adopted at this time On the eve of a
national convention. | did not believe
that this was the time or place. | don I
like many things about this platform.
In the first place. it commends Roose-
welt | don't think the Democratic
party should commend a Republican
President
Then it seems to commit the Dam
ocratic party to a national banking
law. don't know much about bank
ink laws. but it seems 10 me that we
should wait until the National conven-
tion has declared on a banking law.
You refer to the advisory commit
tee. Speaking for the Denver del
egation l would say that We pre-
fer that you say nothing about
that committee I don't want the
platform to say anything about the
United States senatorship. You can
Gunnison news-champion., 1908-06-26

not tie the hands of the Pueblo con
vention. and nothing you would say
would have any force or effect.
They say we are corporation men
| am corporation man only in that
| believe in treating the corporations
fairly. Our party has abused the cor
porations until almost everyone in the
state is against us We should not
fight every combination OF capital in
Colorado. We have been doing il for
years
In the city of Denver we have
treated them fairly. The result has
been that Denver has secured more
from the corporations during the past
four years than she has secured in
fifteen years previous. When We as
sumed office. Denver was paving $50
year for arc lights Now she uays
500 year. Al the present time Den
Yer gets s5e.n0o a year from the Gas
company and $50. .ooa year from the
Tramway
For the past fifteen years Denver
has been irving TO secure a viaduct
The matter was fought in the courts
and everywhere else. but through de-
cent treatment the railroads for the
first time are going to build a viaduct
over Twentieth street al a cost of be
tween si0o. 900 and $500 GOO
Il don't favor agitation on railroad
questions at this time. The railroads
are having hard time. II is all they
can do to keep their heads above wa
ter and we should not embarrass them
with resolutions at this time.
