thousands, and the blaTing of their bands would
have sounded alarm for reputable citizens to lock

unheralded; but, for the benefit of those who were
not of voting age in his halycon day, it is we'll co
recall him as warning, for none may know what
Tiger lly-well-named-may contemplate,
that he has recouped and become millionaire
from Brazilian speculations. And, right here in
spirit of fairness ii may be stated that one ac-

John Reilly is American born of Irish parents
in Chicago, and brought here when ten years
old. He is selfeducated and he veritaby fought
his way to his first prominence having been an
athlete of note and who, "just for the fun Of
it," whipped star pugilist of his time. He gradu-
ated into ward politics before he could vote, be-
came q police Judge, and ousted Barney Mchaels
from the throne of his district. He became promi-
nent in a certain political organization which in
his days not overly reputable and he could
have been its leader but Tiger Reilly knew better.
Instead he became the absolute power behind the
throne, leaving the nominal boss TO bear the ills
of position. For more than twenty years he ruled
this city, played in national affairs the part of the
whose name never came before convention
and yet dominating force made and un-
made senators and congressman, governors and
assembymen and organized the most powerful
forces of graft since the days Of the lfated Boss

to his palms; for, when the day came in which ne
was swept away by the reform movement, dis
credited by his followers, and stepped from
the prisoners box acquitted for lack of evidence
on a penitentiary charge, he had barely money
enough TO pay his way to other shores. 1t Is not

is with us again, he threatened to be the
day Of his departure. 1t doesn't pay TO underesti-

Telluride Man Commits Suicide.

At 2:3O o'clock Wednesday afternoon
phone message from the Caborn ranch
on Hastings mesa summoned Coroner
M. T. Rothwell to the home of James
A. Scott, about a mile and half from
the Caburn ranch where Mr.. Scott had
committed suicide.
1t appears that few minutes before
Charley Scott, son of Mr.. Scott, came
to the ranch stating that his father had
just shot himself through the head and
was dead.
Mr.. Scott was about 60 years of age
and had lived on Hastings mesa IL or
12 years. He owns 160 acres of land
and about 200 head of cattle. No cause
was assigned his rash deed as he had
not been acting strangely nor had there
been any trouble which would have
caused him to think of suicide.
1t is reported that Mrs. Scott saw
the awful deed, but was powerless to
stop her husband from ending his life.
Mr.. Scott is survived by widow and
the son mentioned.
Coroner Rothwell left for the scene
of the tragedy at once.

you have anything to sell get
your price. Be consistent in
