SPEAKS FOR TAFT
Representative Burton Places
Ohio Man in Nomination.
SPLENDID RECORD IN REVIEW
In Urging Claims Of the Secretary Of
War as Psrty's Leader, His Long
and Useful Public Service Is Set
Forth.

Chicago.-In the Republican nation
al convention Representative Theo-
dore e. Burton placed In nomination
for the presidency, William H. Taft
of Ohio. Mr.. Burton said:
This convention enters upon the
grave responsibility OF selecting
presidential candidate with the serene
assurance that the Republican party
will continue to rule this people. 1t is
especially appropriate that this gath
ering should be held In this marvel
GUS city of Chicago. Here it was that
the righteous uprising against slavery
and Bourbonism, sprung from the ma
tons conscience. raised its first tri-
umphant voice when Abraham Lincoln
was nominated And here, again. with
notes of thunderous acclaim, en-
raptured throngs greeted the naming
Of Garfield. of Blaine, of Harrison, and
of Roosevelt.
Again Ohio presents candidate to
the national Republican convention. In
seven stubborniy contested presiden-
tial campaigns, sons of her sacred soil
have led the embattled Republican
hosts to victory. The Buckeye state
has assuredly contributed her share
of statesmen and generals for the up
building of the nation. But that of
which we are prouder still is her stall
wart citizenship-the mightiest bull
wark Of the republic in every common
wealth-made up of Americas free
yeomen, ever ready to respond to the
tocsin of alarm In days of peril. or

DR.. GRAY SOLD DOPE
AND SK|PS THE TOWN
Seven Charges Made Against Him
For Selling Cocaine to
"Patients."
From The World of Wednesday.

From The World of Wednesday,.
Users of cocaine in this city are
somewhat disturbed over the develop
ments of the past few days which will
deprive them of their supply of dope
at least for time.
1t has been somewhat of mystery
to some where the ''fiends" secured
their supply since the law went into
effect prohibiting the sale of cocaine
and similar drugs by the druggists.
There has been suspicion for some
time that the dope was secured in
town but who was the dispenser
could not be ascertained for a GER
tainty. No proof could be secured
that would be sufficient to hold the
suspected party. Traps were planned
but of course the "fiends' would not
give away the good thing.
Sunday night the light broke and
with the result that complaint was
made against DR.. Samuel Gray, col
ored. When the ice was broken COM
plant followed complaint, until sew
en- warrants had been issued by JUS
tice Thompson against the Offending
physician.
Somehow the doctor got wind OF
the matter early Monday morning and
shortly after daybreak left town. He
boarded an early morning train and
went to Charles Town.
Monday afternoon officers, armed
with warrants. started after the doc
tor and succeeded in getting consid-
cradle information as to his where,
abouts but failed to capture him.
It appears that Gray has been buy
ing cocaine in quantities from drug
gists and selling it out In small guam
titles, TO most anyone who went to his
Office to secure 1t.
For some time many persons have
been seen to go to the doctors Of
fee on West Martin street, and sus-
picion was aroused but no conclusive
evidence could be obtained.
1t seems that on Sunday night the
doctor refused to sell dope to one
OF his patients" and the latter, dis
appointed and angered, set the case
before the authorities with the result
that the warrants were issued Gray
succeeded in getting out of town be-
fore the officers could arrest him.
II Gray is caught. and 1t is likely
that he will be shortly, he will have
to face serious charge. He will
most likely be held under a heavy
bond for his appearance before the
circuit court. Then penalty is IL
months for the first and second Of
fenses and the same Imprisonment
with a fine of 5000 additional for the
third offense and the loss of his GER
tificate to practice.
The result Of this disclosure will be
awaited with much interest by the
public.

Remains.

William Mundy, the colored man,
of Luray, Va, who was struck by a
b. and o. freight engine near the
Cpequon creek Monday night, result
ing in the fracture of his skull, died
Tuesday afternoon shortly after four
o'clock in the county Jail where he
had been taken after the accident. He
never regained consciousness after

vile.
Some time after the demise the re-

SMALL CAUSE
BIC FIGHT
MAN HURT IN FIGHT
OVER NEXT TO
NOTHING
Parties not concern in original quar-
rel got Into ransIe as to whether
they arc and fight about It.

What at first sight looked like serious
riot last Thursday night was shown in
Justice Buffers court Saturday and
Monday to have been in the the first
event dispute of no partie eular conse-
quence, but through which one man
got bad head and another bad scare.
The evidence did not settle decisively
whether the head was injured by the
blow that downed its recipient or by q
bump received in the fall. The source
of the scare was plainly shown to be
terror of a person with whom the frigh
tened man had picked fuss in the first
instance, the jury in that case being
convinced he did not need the protect
ion of peace bond.
The circumstances are these:
Walter Johnston is foreman on A. K
Nlarrs ranch. Last Wednesday night
one hand, by name Quin, grew difficult
to please and received his time, where
upon seven of his friencs quit with him
The uext day in Walden Quin and John
ston met and still were unable to feel
pleasant, so they arranged to meet at
Quin's camp east of town on the Michi
gan river. Johnston having secured a
fresh crew, happened along about mid
night Thursday night on his way home
and called on Quin, who refused tn
come out and talk.
At this juncture one Baylor, of Quin's
party, became involved in a quarrel
with F. L. Winchester, one of the new
crew going out, for being present in his
camp under such circumstances and
got out of bed to resent the intrusion.
This meeting resulted in broken head
for Baylor and the up shot of the whole
BUSINESS was; Baylor prosecuted Win
chester for arsult with deadly weapon
probably believing anything that could
crack his head like that must be deadly
TO common men, and Quin went to court
for a peace bond from Johnston, accus.
ing him of threatening Quin's personal
safety. The common opinion among
those cognizant of the affair seems to be
that The only danger Quin was in was
from what he might run into in his
haste to put the world between himself
and Johnston.
In the court cases growning out of
this trouble, Justice Butler set the bond
of Winchester for his appearance at
District Court in Fort Collins at ST ,O0O0
and bound over three witnesses in the
respective sums of 5000. to appear and
give testimony.
The peace bond case against Johnston
was tried before Justice Butler by jury
of three, Victor L. Riley, S. s. Brownlee
and VIM. E. Rosenbaum. The gentle
men decided that there were no ground
for Furnishing Johnston in any way or
requiring him to give peace bond
and declared him mot guilty. Alfred
Ii. Law acted as attorney for both Win.
chester and Johnston in these cases, and
will appear for Winchester in the Dis
trict Court.
