normal appetites for statistics,
and whenever there is a lull in
routine work of more than three
minutes, write letter to Glen
woods board of trade for exact
information on any one of half a
dozen subjects. And they always
get it when it is possible to sup
ply them.
The latest of this nature came
from the bureau of immigration,
which asked the names of all
companies in this section employ
ing foreign labor, the number and
what nationality was preferred.
More numerous, perhaps, than
any other variety, are the re-
quests for rates on board and
rooms. and in this connection the
secretary asks that all who can
supply these things will notify
him. 1t is absolutely necessary
that rates be given, otherwise the
information will do no good.
Setting out at length just what
they wanted, letter has been re-
ceived from a member of pro-
posed party of young women who
are desirous of spending the sum-
mer here. What the city and its
surroundings have to offer, the
price of foodstuffs. the entertain
ment to be had; the kind of water
and it's quality-these were only a
few of the queries that the cores
pondent wanted answered. In
fact, no detail that the average
woman could think of was left
out. and such knowledge will be
sent to her by the first mail.

BROWN GIVEN
JAIL SENTENCE

From Wednesdays Daily Post.
In Justice Hedden's court this
morning Thomas Brown was SEN
fenced to Jail for 80 days for as
saulting his wife, Louise, late
yesterday afternoon and breaking
up the furniture in their home
near the Rio Grande depot.
Mrs. Brown does not speak
English clearly and a German in
terpreter, Nick Alexander, was
called into service to translate the
testimony.
She said that he came home
very drunk. Fearing bodily in
Jury she hid herself in closet.
After venting his spleen on the
furniture, he dragged his wife out
by the hair to the sidewalk and
there repeatedly struck her.
Questioned by the justice,
Brown said his wife, who is much
older than he, had always been
insanely jealous of him, and kept
throwing it up to him, making
accusations of improper conduct
on his part. Re denied that he
had struck her.
Marshal Weidenhammer testi-
fed to being told of the affray by
stranger and of arresting Brown
a few minutes later in a saloon
Brown protested against being ta-
ken into custody without war
rant, but finally was persuaded
to go peaceably with the officer
In the meantime Mrs. Brown had
had warrant sworn out for his
arrest. which was placed in the
hands of Undersheriff Cardnell
for service. For that reason the
marshal turned the prisoner ovel
to Cardnell, who confined him ir
the county Jail.
In passing sentence upon him
Justice Hedden said:
"Abuse of a woman by her hus
band Is one Of the meanest thing
a man can do. You have been W
before me once before, some three
months ago. and I want to say t.
you that if you are ever arrested
again the sentence will not be al
light, for that il a crime I canno
overlook" /"

GOVERNMENT WINS
LIGHT CASE

Denver, apr. IS.-1n Cue 1eOeT-
al court this morning Judge Lew
is overruled the demurrer in the
case of the people against Fred
Light of Snowmass, and held that
a man has no right to turn his
cattle loose to Craze on govern
ment reserves. Lights attorneys
state it will be appealed to the
supreme court of the United
States.
In speaking of the case. gov
ernment Attorney Ernest Knae-
bel who conducted the prosecu-
ton, said:
at is great victory for the
government, sweeping in its ex-
tent, and means that grazing on
forest reserves in the West must
cease.
Denver, Apr. 29.-One of the
most important government cases
ever tried in Colorado is the test
suit which was called this morn
ing in the federal corrt, involving
the old question of state rights re-
garding cattle grazing on Colo
RADIO lands against the contention
of the United States government
to set aside such state lands as it
desires for forest reserves.
Ernest Knaebel, special repre-
sentative for Attorney General
Bonaparte, in conjunction with G.
S. Arnold of the forestry depart
ment, represented the government
while Ethelbert Ward, brother of
United States District Attorney
Ward, argued the case for the
cattlemen.
The specific charge upon which
the case will be tried is a restrain
ing order forbidding Frederick
Light, wealthy ranchman of
Snowmass, Pitkin county, the
right to Craze 500 head of cattle
on the Holy Cross forest reserve.
Light has persistently ignored the
requests of the government to va
cate the territory in order, it is
said, to force the United States
to institute legal proceedings and
thus throw the entire matter of
state rights into the courts.
The completion of this case will
sever the connection of Ernest
Knaebel with the department of
justice, Mr.. Knaebel having been
appointed mainly because District
Attorney Ward could not repre-
sent the government owing to his
previous connection with the cat.
tie interests rs their attorney. Mr..
Ward will be passive in the case,
his contentious for the stockmen
having been turned over to his
brother.
And the brother of the Unitel
States official declares the gov
ernment is exceeding its province
in seizing some 10000 acres of
land in this state for forestry pur-
poses, in utter disregard of state
rights or laws.
The case will quite likely be
carried up to the supreme court
of the United States, as it not on
ly involves the right of the gov
ernment to take land in Colorado
but will establish a precedent for
every state west of the Mississip-
ri river.
