Prayer Meeting, Wednesday
ZOO p. IN.
All are cordially invited.
Subject of next Sunday morn
ing's discourse suggested by the
Christian Alliance as suitable for
the close of the week of prayer,
God Revealed.
Subject for evening, Safe and
Sane View of Holiness" illustrat-
ed by two sketches in water colors.
The two anthems last Sunday
morning so we'll rendered by the
choir and the sweet solo of Mrs.
Rapalje in the evening were very
much enjoyed by the congregation.
THE SERMON.
The subject of the sermon Sun
day morning was prayer as the
most important thing in tie world.
The text, Luke IL 9, Ask and it
shall be given you, seek and We
shall find, knock and it shall be
opened unto you.
1t was shown from several con-
'iderations that this supreme i'm
portance arises from the fact that
prayer is
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
% Salvation. While salvation is
III of grace and not of works, and
while no one is saved by his pray
RS, yet we cannot find il in the
Bible that man was ever saved
who would not so much as ask the
he Savior for Salvation. With all
power i'll Heaven and in earth Just
It hand for salvation, yet is it all
n vain for our benefit unless we
Individually link ourselves onto it
~ prayer. The illustration was

blame, and a powerful engine in

he engine it will certainly go down
he grade to certain destruction.
The link may seem small, and vet
lnder the circumstances it is the
greatest thing in the world to the
ar.
NO ADVANCEMENT IN GRACE
Without prayer. Growth in grace
not by the development of the ,
.ood traits of human character ,
nut by the infoWing of the Spirit

implanted at the time of the souls

You never can tell when you send word
Like an arrow shot from bow
BY all archer blind--be it cruel or kind,
Just where it will chance to go,
1t may pierce the breast of your dearest friend,
Tipped with poison or balm;
10 strangers heart in life's great mart
It may carry its pain or its calm
You never can tell what your thoughts will do
In bringing you hate or love;
for thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves
ney follow the law Of the universe
Zach thing must create its kind;
Ano they speed DER the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.

Buchtel. as detailed by The Senti-

wyoming authorities. in spite of the
order of the governor of Colorado.
This morning Sheriff Charles
Schrader absolutely refused to turn
the prisoner over to Sheriff Horton.
and in his refusal he acted under
Instructions received by him by wire
this morning from District Attorney
Hugo Selig of this judicial district.
Mr.. Selig wired that the governor
has no right to interfere with the
courts or. to order Force turned ov-
er to the wyoming authorities as
long as he is in the jurisdiction OF
the Mesa county district court, and
the attorney instructed Sherif Schra-
der to hold on to the man until the
district court itself takes action.
Since the Wyoming officer arrived

pers granted by Governor Buchtel

asking him to turn Force over to the
Wyoming authorities. many Of the
leading attorneys of the city have
been asked for an opinion on the le-
gality of Sheriff Schrader letting the
man go out of his custody. 1t seems
to have been puzzling proposition
for the attorneys to decide quickly.
Had Force simply been arrested
here on suspicion or arrested for the
commission of some crime in another
state then, of course, the requisition
papers of Governor Buchtel would
have been honored promptly and
would have had the right of way.
But it now contended that when
prisoner in the custody of the sher-

him with the commission of crime
in the county in which he Is being
held, then the sheriff has no legal
right to turn him over to authori-

and the governor himself has no
right to make any orders in the
matter. The prisoner is entirely
within the jurisdiction of the district
court.
1t seems that the governor actively

Under Sheyiff Wallis of this county,
and who had long been wanted by
the wyoming authorities, wrote a
letter to Governor Buchtel urging
him to have Force turned over to
the wyoming officer, and Governor
Buchtel attempted to meet the re-
quest.
Governor Buchtel contends that
comfy between states demands that
the state that has the most serious
charge against criminal has the
first right to his custody.
The matter is creating much inter
est in official and legal circles today.
Sheriff Horton of Rawlings is still
in town and will probably remain un-
til after the district court convenes.
Next Tuesday morning Judge
Shackleford will convene the March
term of the district court. AS soon
as possible the governor of Wyo-
ming will make formal request
through Sheriff Horton for the GUS

that Judge Shackleford. will grant
the request and order Force turned
over to the Wyoming authorities.
with the understanding that the Wy
oming authorities will meet all of
the expenses of the arrest and con-
finement in the Mesa county jail of
Force and that If the Wyoming au-
thorities fail to convict the man he
will be returned to the Mesa county
authorities without expense.
On another page of this issue the
statement Is made that Sheriff Hor-
ton left the city this morning with
Force for Rawlings. The Sentinel

OLD CONVICT IS DEAD
After Serving 2l years to the Day Colorados State
Prison John Refs Passes Away-Some-

Canon city, Colo, FEB. 29.-John
Refs, hfe-termer, who had served
a longer period of imprisonment than
any man in the history of the Colo
rado .penitentiary, died in the prison
yesterday. '''..
Refs was taken to. the prison on
February 2S, 1887, exactly ,21 years
ago, from Pitkin county, for the
murder of his bunkmate. He had
had st. vitus' dance for 19 years.
and for the past years had been
almost helpless. He was an. Austri-
an by birth and was ,54 years of age.
Unable to do any work, Refs crawled
up and down the stone path in the
. prison yards perhaps, twenty times
a day for years, wearing away its
hard surface to a depth of more than
on inch in some places,
For years nothing i, had been
known of his relatives and friends,
and at no time during his long term
of Incarceration has he been outside
of the prison or held any communica-
tion with people he knew In former
days. For more than a decade he
has not been able. to talk in an in
telligible manner owing to an inabil-
ity to articulate clearly. but he re-
tanned at all times q distinct mem
ory of persons and things, his mind
unaffected by the disease which 80
badly crippled his body. He was one
of the most pitiable characters ever
Imprisoned in the penitentiary and
his death brought out the sympathy
of those about him despite the crime
which brought him there.
The cost of keeping Refs In the
penfteptjary. according to the fig-
: ures furnished by the -Narden. has
beeh- t150 sasyear or $S.150 for the

The order is a sweeping one and
all saloon keepers were notified that

chimes must be removed from their
places of business after that date.

from a conference between the at
torney general of the state and the
district attorney.

GIRL BROUGHT BACK
Grand Junction Woman Who Permitted Daughter to Leave
With Salvation Army Has Much Trouble
Securing Her Return

Several months ago Anna Jorgen-
sen, a woman in very Strengthened
circumstances, permitted Charles Abb
bott and wife, then residents of this
city to take her daughter to give her
a home. Mrs. Abbott was connected
with the Salvation Army in this city
and Mrs. Jorgensen thought that her
daughter would secure home where
she could attend school and the bur-
den of supporting herself would not
come so hard on the mother.
The Abbotts moved away from this
city. and recently it was ascertained
by the mother that the Abbotts had
not kept their promise TO. send the
girl to school, and she opened up n
correspondence with the Abbotts to
see if they would permit the gfrl to
return. This angered the Abbotts
considerably, and they wrote some
pretty stiff letters back to Mrs Jcr-
gensen. ~
I Thereupon Mrs. Jorgensen re-
solved that, she would secure her
daughter from the Abbotts il possi-
BILE, and she, not having Sufficient
money, took up a collection among
her friends. and, with the. aid OF
letter demanding the return ofs her
daughter, sent the money and q. tick
ct for her return. s.s,'-
!, The girl arrived home a few days
ago and the mother was rejnieea.
The principal work of bringin the
girl back to the mother was due to
the efforts, of Mrs. Mary A. 2BrfleY,
who acted the good Samaritan In
this case and collected the monE
that purchased the ticket that
brought the yonng girl bach -so her
,mother, who was. almest DISTRACTED
because she believed that she would
not recover her daughter again..

was shot and mortally wounded in
his own home by Glen Holbrook, who
was found in the home with Mrs.
Lowther at Alamosa on February 20,

the wound was inflicted at Alamosa.

quest of Miss Lul Lowther, sister
of the deceased, who claims that her
