HAND CAUGHT BY
A FALLING WINDOW
Mrs. Scott Cast the Victim
of Painful Accident.
Her Hand was Badly Mashed and
the Fingers Partially
Frozen

Mrs. Scott Cast, residing on
Pearl street, was the victim of q
peculiar and very painful accident
occurring about ~ o'clock this
morning. She was in the act of low
'ering a heavy plate glass window
when the sash slipped from her
grasp and fell heavily upon her left
hand.
AS the window crashed down
upon the unfortunate woman's hand,
the automatic catches locked and
she was trapped. Alone with her
sixteen months child Mrs Cast was
unable to summon assistance. The
driving wind outside smothered all
ner cries to the neighbors for help.
After studying her condition for a
few minutes, Mrs. Cast Lecame des-
perate. With her free hand she
crushed the large pans from the
window. Her screams were then
audible to a neighbor, Mrs. H. l..
Bonner, who hurried to Aer relief.
A local physician was summoned
and his examination disclosed that
the fingers were badly crushed and
partially frozen. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the injuries will not re-
suit in the loss of the fingers.

The Richmond Journal has evidently seen e light. flashed On it's inner con- seiOusness by the oft-repeated report that Mir. Bryan is formulating a plat form and will expect the convention to adopt 1t. The Journal. it is true. contends that any suggestions made by Bryan should have great weight. but adds:
 As A free and Independent deliberA- tive assembly, the convention will be entitled to and will receive all respect AS an obsequious bed of justice" 1t would Inspire and deserve nothing but contempt.
 Plainly that is advancing a little in the right direction. A ready-mado convention like the Chicago affair would inspire contempt for the party and Tor the delegates who compose che body There will be men there fully competent to formulate a platform. and they should have manhood enough to do their own work. without advice or dictation from Mir.

rod HANDY wTTH THE PISTOL

Attsnkion is being called to the fre- qianoy with which onicers fatally use their weapons, upon nseing prisoners.
 we do not believe that any man should bs clothed with official power who would deliberately shoot down q pris- ener whose otfense. even if afterwards proven. would involve only 6 few days inapriaonment or a few dollars fine. In the papers in the last few days we have read of an officer killing a pris- ouer who was trying to escape, when the whole business involved was only IS cents. Does not that look like tnur- dek2 If any little Pop-in-Jay. who happens to be acting as an ofHlcer. can nas his pistol as he pleases, the chances ara that there will be more murders in the name of law. In Jefferson County two men have been killed by odacers under conditions which. as pubs ashsd. have no palliation. and officers in Jensrson are by no means the only offenders. When an ofdcer is in dam ger and has a desperate character to deal with it is a very different propo- aftion from that of a prisoner guilty of a trifiing misdemeanor and seeking to regain his liberty. There should be as little use of fatal weapons as possi- bIe and officers, except where they are absolutely justified, should be held just as strictly to account for use of deadly weapons as any other class of citizens.

 The resolutions of MT. Thetford are directly to the point in the matter of selection of Supreme Court Judges. A better plan ought to be devised than the one now in vogue. The evils of that mode ought to be plain to even the most unobservant It is not a very wholesome thing for the Judges of our Courts to be compelled to go Into scrambles and adopt regular po- ntical plans and programs. The peo- pie have an idea that Judges should not descend from the high plane which they ought to occupy at all times and get down into the devious ways of ward politicians. It Is too frequently the case at a primary election that voters are absolutely unlnformed as to the qualifications of candidates for judicial ofices. and mark names just as they come to them, in order to i'll eut the ticket. The State Committee ought If possible. to separate judicial nominations from all others, so that qualifications of those who are to be our judges can be discussed entirely apart from all other considerations and candidates.

 Nothing could be more ntting or likely to give the Denver d 0siissfsstens ssste tial tone than a contemplation of the life and works of the one Democratic President of this generation, the great and worthy dead.
