John Luke, fsmilisrly known in
the old cattle days Of western Kansas
and eastern Colorado as ''Dutch John"
died at his home near Lamar last
week, the result of a runaway acci-
dent. He belonged to the era of
the cattle bsrons, and the genuine
cowboys, . class Of men who are
rapidly passing away to the great
beyond or who .hsve turned their
lives into other channels, than the
lonlsy night vigils with restless herds
or Drawing the dangers Of stsmPedes
and the tolls and hsrdships of the
range. Few of these men are left,
and with their passing, comes an end
to picturesque and distinctive GLASS.
Dutch John" claimed that he
came from Texas with the first herd
Of cattle brought into the Arkansas
valley of Colorado, and from that
time until the settler pre-empted the
land, he followed the range making
his headquarters near old Granada.
He was part and parcel Of the life
OF the frontier at a time when the
gun alone was the law of the land,
and might was right. Under these
conditions he developed self-reliant
aggressive nature, ready at all times
to defend his rights to the death, yet
quick to forget an injury. Like moet
Of these men, deprived of the society
Of women, when he did come in con
tact with them he was chivalrous
always and one Of his greatest de.
lights was to be permitted to care
for some little child, and to carry 1t
from place to place, not always to
the peace of mind of the mother, who
perhaps feared the man dressed in
the gsrb of the COW camp and look
ing like 9 walking arsenal.
Caught in the spirit OF the times,
surrounded by an stmosph ere of all
manner of e1cesses, his character
prehaps, suffered, but the writer oi
this knows that his rough exterior
covered 3 generous heart, and thai
his friendship was valuable on more
than one occasion.-Garden City

Baoa County killing.

Springfield, Colo Jan. 13,-WaIte,
Hendricks, aged l6, was arrested this
afternoon by Sheriff Mcfarland and
is in jail on the charge of killing Ds-
vid Lowery in a running fight yes
tsrday afternoon, 40 miles west OF
here.
According to Hendricks story, he
and Fred Hunt, aged 16, were pass
ing Lowery's house, when Lowery
rushed out and informed them that
they had better leave and Hendricks
says that before they were aware of
what was wrong, Lowsry shot and
wounded Hunt.
Thinking that Lowery was about
to renew the attack, Hendricks says
he fred, and, he thought, only
wounded the ranohmsn.
Hendricks hurried to the Murray
ranch, sent assistance to Hunt and
same to Springfield for q physician
and the sheriff. Sheriff Mcfarland
went to Lowery's home and found
him dead. He returned and today
arrested Hendricks. Lowery is sal d
TO have been q "bad man" and no
explanation has been found for at
taoking the lads.
Hunt was taken to the La Junta
hospital tonight. Although weak
ened from the loss Of blood and sutf-
sring from exposure, it is believed
that he has . chance for recovery.
Tho cause for the attack on the
boy is unexplained, unless it was oc
sasions by Lowery's anger toward
the lads father, who several weeks
ago, while passing Lowery's house,
threw an axe at q dog which ran out
and barked at him.

An interesting indication of the
trend Of the times is found in the
determination of the Sugar Refining
company, popularly known as the
trust, to give greater publicity to its
affairs.
During the life time of Henry o.
Havemeyer the sugar trust was CON-
Quoted as his personal property.
Whatever he choose to tell the pub
lie or the stockholders was very little,
and was grudgingly given.
The result has been that q wide
spread feeling of hostility and dis
trust has arisen toward this corpora
ton, and the people have felt that
they were being inordinatsly taxed
for the necessities of life.
If the new regime shall undertake
to make friends with the consumers
of its product and become cordial in
stead OF hostile to them, and treat
them with consideration instead of
indifference and scorn, it will be
very much to the company 8 interest.
The power of public sentiment,
though it may take it long time to
orystalize, is the strongest thing in
this country. Not even the Standard
Oil company cares to stand against
it and this great corporation has re-

Notes from The Lamar Register Of
dan. ~, 1888


Seeeeeeeesseessesessesees
John w. Jay whose term of office
as County Clerk would have expired
Monday night, died Sunday evening
and was buried Tuesday. He had
been feeling badly for the past two
months but was at no time consider
ed seriously Ill, until he took his bed
the day before he died. He leaves
. wife and two children to mourn
his loss.
Las Animss, Colo, Jan. 10, 1888
The building used by Bent County
as q court house bnrned about l o.
clock this morning. When the fire
was first seen it had made too much
progress to be arrested. All the re-
cords of the county were totally des-
troyed, consisting of the records Of
the County Clerk, District Clerk,
County Treasurer, Sheriff and Coun-
ty Assessor. All that was saved were
the contents Of the Treasures safe,
containing some important papers,
warrants and school orders that hsd
been paid, from Jan to December
81, 1887, and some little money, and
also the warrant books contained in
the Clerks safe.
None of the county officers knew
anything Of the fire until this morn
ing. What seems strange is that the
Court House should be destroyed
with all its valuable records just on
the eve of being tranferrsd to other
hands. There is no doubt in the
minds of any one that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. To re
place these records will require sew
eral years labor, and be an enormous
expense; indeed, the loss is irrepara-
BILE. The county has suffered a
heavy loss, and no doubt large sums
will be spent in litigation as result.
The County Commissioners,
through the courtesy Of the City
Council, are for the present occupy
ing the City Hall until some other
place can be temporarily secured.

neaouro oi REFORM tnan Otherwise
would be demanded will now be &C.
ceptable to the country, as an initial
step in strengthening our whole cur
rency system. The Aldrish bill will
win new favor through the business
recovery which is showing itself on
all hands. The president is an ad
vocate of the bill, and will use his
influence not only to push it through
the Senate, but to give it a majority
in the House! 1t Is reported that
Speaker Cannon fsvors the Aldrich
measure, and this will help it in his
chamber.
This morning when Congress
starts to work it will find that the
business skies have frightened to an
unexpected degree since the close of
its holiday recess last Monday. This
improvement has a political bearing
which the dominant party in the gov
ernment will grasp. The prospect
Of an empty treasury and an empty
dinner pail, which presented itself
daring the scare a few weeks ago,
was blow to Republican prestige,
and would, if it continued, injurs
Republican chances in the campaign
just ahead of us. This peril has
vanished. Money is again plen-
tiful in New York and all the other
business centers. The premium on
currency has disappeared all over the
country. Clearing bouse certificates
are being retired everywhere. In the
past ten days 500, O,oOO,O 900 has been
deposited in the New York savings
banks. The st. Louis trust comp
anies are increasing their rates Of in
tsrest to depositors, and in other big
cities the tendency is in the same
direction. This means that those
institutions look for an increase in
trade in 1908. Many banks and
factories which closed during the
recent disturbance are opening their
doors again. This will quickly re-
gister itself by an improvement of
the treasury outlook. In the six and
a little less than half months of
the fiscal year 1908 which have sx-
pired the governments income has
been $l1, ,OOO, 900 less than its outgo,
while in the corresponding time a
year ago the income exceeded the
outgo s29,OOO,OOO. This change
mas beeu due to an increase in ex-
psnditurss and to q decrease in re-
ceipts. The business recovery which
is manifesting itself will probably
increase the governments revenue,
and thus make the next five and a
half months of the fiscal give bet
ter account of themselves than the
previous months have done. Repub-
lican skies will be frightened there
by. When the Chicago Convention
meets five months hence to nomin-
ate President Roosevelt's successor
it will see as favorable signs in the
political frmament as the convention
which nominated him four years
earlier saw.-Globe Dsmocrat.
