Gen. N. B. Forrest, who saved
the city from destruction by

The pursuit and capture of
Streight constitutes one of the
most remarkable feats ever per-
formed by any commander in

There is no single achievement of

that Forrest was the only officer
who would or could have accom-

order to allow Mississippians to
gaze on her to their hearts con-
tent. Afterward she will steam to
Scranton, on the Gulf Coast, where
the much-talked-of silver service
will be presented by Gov. Noel
with appropriate remarks. Secre-
tary Myer has thus diverged from
his original plans, which did not
contemplate trip on the Father

the people of Natchez and other

Vardaman Issue comes out in
favor of the abolition of capital
punishment in Mississippi. Senti-
mentalists have frequently tried
this experiment in other states, but
the effect has not been what they
expected, and in several states
have returned to capital punish
ment after the trial. Let the pres
ent death penalty remain. While
it is seldom invoked its existence
on the statutes has deterrent
effect upon criminals. AS for the
legal hanging of a criminal being
murder as the Issue calls it,
that is all nonsense and very
poor quality of nonsense at that.

Arthur Beckey Leaves Fort Duchesne
And Walks 130 Miles When
Hunger 0vercomes Him
LANDS IN COUNTY JAIL HERE

1t was an an-day's ride. 1 stayed
there Sunday night and left via the
Uintah railroad for Mack. It is fifty
three miles and I walked all the way.
They charge seventy-five cents for
meals and 81 for a bed, and that soon
left me with very little money. You
see, l only had $1s when left the
fort. When 1 got to Mack took the
train and went to Grand Junction, and
loafed around while, then went to
Palisade, twelve miles which walked,
and landed there at 4:30 p. m.
stayed there all night, and the next
morning bought some crackers and corn
beef, and went to Grand Valley, where
l was all in, down and out. They
picked me up there, and here am. I
suppose they will give me about three
thirty for the deal. Blu. it will be
change. By thirty / mean three
months in the guard house, and thirty
dollars fine, which they take out Of
my pay. The life at the fort is teri
BILE. The officers are good and their
treatment is fine, but it is lonesome
there, no piano, no music. no nothing.
Why, little show came out there from
Vernal and charged fifty cents for
what is usually a ten-cem show, and
tho boys enjoyed it, but when they left
there was nothing at all. Just the
same old routine.
p 81 don't know what I was doing
when 1 enlisted. I thought I would
get good long trip, but they may keep
us there the full three years. All the
boys are dissatisfied with conditions,
and long for a change. If could have
reached South Platte could have got
ten some money sent me and then I
would have been all right, but it's back
for me now, and the same old grind,
with this exception, I will be given
some light work to do. and that will be
a change"
Beckley seems to be nice sort of
fellow and did not hesitate to tell the
reporter all about affairs at the fort,
and about his long, wearisome walk.
Sheriff Wilmuth is in communication
with Captain Hunt of the fort, and
will probably leave tonight with the
young man who deserted that he might
get change.

FOREST IN BANK BLOCK

Storing away the las. of their thresh-
ing outfit, the local forest officers, who
for several weeks threshed the seed
from the pine cones in their offices in
the Bank block of this city, have trans
formed the rooms into forest of ten
der spruce sprouts.
The greater part of the $50 pounds Of
seed threshed out was sen. to the vari
gus forest reserves, of the state, to be
planted, but a goodly share was retain
ed here and planted in boxes in the To-
cal offices as an experiment and that a
test might be made as to the fertility
of the seed. Now that the tender
shoots are showing above the dirt, it
is to be found that from sixty to sew
enty per cent. will grow. This gives
assurance that the scheme is a good
one and that the planting of seeds in
the mountain districts will be of untold
value TO the future generations.

The Glenwood high school basketball
boys were given n good drubbing by
the college boys who are living in Red
Cliff, last Saturday evening. Although
the locals knew they were going up
against a fast aggregation, they were
not aware that some of the best col
lege players ever turned out by the
School of Mines were to face them in
the struggle. This was a great handi-
cap, and the cold weather and one bad
basket did the rest and the locals were
defeated. The first half was walk
away for the Cliffites. They secured
total of SO points, while the locals
chalked up o. The second half was diff
feernt and more to our liking. The To-
Gals were able to secure the one good
basket and the air in the room became
warmer and they ran up % points and
their opponents could corral but four
Thus the final score was 43 to %, with

Midland Passenger Number 3
Twenty-Five Hours
Bucking Snow
LADY GETS EXPERIENCE

Colorado Midland westbound passen-
ger, which left Denver at seven-thirty
clock p m. Wedne day, did not reach
this city until nearly one a. M. Friday,
being nearly thirty hours on the road.
Snow storms in the mountains from
Arkansas Junction to Basalt made it
next to impossible to run train at all.
The heavy rotary snow plow was secur-
ed and with the help of three or four
extra engines the snow was rammed
and bucked and inch by inch. the train
plowed through. All telegraph wires
east of Basalt were said to be down,
thus it was impossible for the local
agent, Mr.. Lowe, to learn of the where
abouts of the train. Hours passed and
the people that had expected to leave
here at $50 n. III. Friday morning
spent the day waiting and asking
"when will the train get here?" But
Mr.. Lowe and Mr.. Keck were unable to
answer, and NOT until the troin reached
Basalt could anything definite be
learned and even then the train was
unable to make fast time, but kept on
losing.
Travelling men who were on the train,
and who are experienced in winter
mountain travelling, said it was the
worst trip they had ever maed on the
Midland, but all agreed that the train
men had done The best they could under
the trying circumstances.
Number five, westbound. which fol-
lowed three, was also several hours late
It is said that four engines were used
to get the train through. AS fast as
number three would advance the high
wind would fill the cuts with the snow.
Number four, eastbound was also forced
to ram rs nose through at almost a
snail 3 pace.
An English lady. who is touring the
United States, and who announced on
boarding number five at Colorado
Springs that she hoped the train would
get stuck in the snow in the mountains
had her wish gratified. hut it is also
believed that she will not care for an
other like trip. although the passengers
did not suffer to any great extent from
the cold. OF course this lady will have
Mt least one hairs splitting tale to tell
to her friends on her return to her for
sign homs.

just as the tattoo was sounded at
Fort Duchesne, Utah, last Friday night,
Private Beckley, of Troop "H' United

ters and sought the bath room, where
he had stored clothing preparatory to
making his escape from the service of
Uncle Sam. He made good his get
away, and had it not been for hunger
overcoming him. he might still be at
liberty instea dof spending his time
in the county Jail in this city.

the jail and this is the story told him by
Young Beckley. who will be returned

81 am twenty-three years old, and
my home is at New Augusta, ten miles
north ofIndianapolis, Ind. I worked
for people near South Platte, Colo, for
four years and wandered out into Salt

charge told me I could go to the Is
lands, and L thought it would be good

That was July "a of last year. I was
sent to Fort Duchesne and that is
thirty miles from Vernal, the nearest
place.

the regular routine work of the bar

some for some amusement. 1 tell you
there are others there who are JUS. as

trousers stuck under the bath tub. /

cl1oRADo MARBLE
FOR FERERAL BUILDING

With mountains of pure white marble
in the state and with the government
ready to build a new federal building
in Denver, we believe the claim has
Justly been made that Colorado marble
shoAld be used in the structure. Where
in &ll the world could a better building
material be found and what state in
the union can compete with US in the
quality of marble to be found forty
miles from Glenwood.
If it is possible to bring sufficient
pressure to bear on the government of
ficials, to secure their consent to the
using of Colorado marble, that pressure
should be forthcoming from every com
mercial body in the state. Let it be a
statewide movement, and one of such
gigantic proportions that the Washing
ton powers will be forced to find their
material in the Rocky mountains of
Colorsdo.
Let the slogan be Colorado Marble
for all Colorado buildings; everyone in
the STATE should take pride in working
to that end, for it is thus we grow.

Notwithstanding the fact tina. our

tho start. Bosh teams played sensation
al bal, and never lost an opportunity
to land the big ball in the little bas-
kets. Captain Weidenhammer of The To-
calls and Northrop of the visitors were
pitted against each other. The latter
is a star and had an advantage Of some
three inches in reach, but in spite of
this fact, "Dee" was there on the tip
off and by faster and surer work de
prived his opponent of the chance of
getting the ball to the Cliffi.es.

This was necessary and the result of
the faa. work. For the visitors, Ham

is shown the fact that he is there all
the time, and is a tower of strength at
his post. The first half resulted in
Glenwood getting 90 points, and the Wis
itors but g. The second half was
s.em.winder, both teams playing the
game of their lives.
In speaking of the Red Cliff boys,
the locals say: "They are the finest
bunch of fellows We ever had in the
city. They are Glenn in their work and
arc very fast. If all athletes were as
free from dirty dealing as are the Red
Cliff boys there would be better at
tendance at the games. We are glad
Red Cliff lost, but we are sure they
will take their defeat as true sports,
and that no kicking will ever come
from their lips"
Both teams were entertained by Mr..
and Mrs. William Hum after the game
and jolly good time was the result.

Paymaster Ryder, Mr.. Posey and

SHORT ROUTE FOR COKE

Another eighteen months will see
more passenger trains running over the
Midland than there are freight trains
on that road at the present time'
The above is said to be a statement
made recently by one of the officials of
the road. The Midland is promised
some great boosting within the next
few months, and it is said that if pres
ent plans are carried out, it will take
such leap forward that some other
people will have to sit up and take no
game themselves.
Since James Hill secured control of

forty nine per cent. of the Midland,
there have been rumors fast and furious
floating around the various state rail-
road headquarters. 1t is said that Hill
has his eyes on the Oregon Short Line,
If he should get that and n few other
little things he seems to want the fu-

At present coke, which is shipped
from Cardiff to Anaconda, goes via

the coke were sent via Grand Junction

that he is going after it with the vim

best money-making propositions in the
