sFoCKMEN PROTEST AGAINST
 KILLING OF THEIR HORSES

At Clovis, New Mexico, at mss: meeting of citizens at that city and surrounding country; 1t was decided -tc wire at once for a competent veteri nary to come and examine into the necessity for the wholesale slaughter of horses such as is going on in the surrounding country now under the direction of of the government and territorial sanitary boards.
 Four hundred dollss was raised iu few moments right in the room where the mass meeting was held which was promptly paid over to the committee appointed by the chairman of the meeting to get an outside sur geon of. some note to go to Clovis at once.
 There has been much excitement among the stock owners of that city as well as those of the surrounding country over the prevalence evident of so much glanders among the stock. Numbers of the horses of the city there have been given the test for glanders, and having shown to the satisfaction of the officials that they were affect ed, nave been killed promptly.
 Fhe disease appears to be so wide spread and the slaughter has been ear ried on with such rapidity that the stock owners have begun to question the work of the officers, believing that spite work, together with iguor- anee of the real condition of some of the animals killed prompted their ae- tion.
 \ committee was also named. by the chairman of the meeting, which should wire the governor of the Ter ritory asking that the representative of the sanitary board be requested to suspend operations until the doctor who is to be employed by the citizens shall have time to reach here and co operate with the officials in determin- ing the real extent of the disease, or until such time as the Territory can make an investigation that they may know whether their representative, who is Dr. C. A Curtis, is sufficiently qualified to do the work he is under taking
 w. Sorrell is the government reprs- sentative there and is cooperating with Dr. Curtis in the work of condemning the animals which fail 10 pass the test for glanders. In talking with a representative of a newspaper he said:
 .'We desire to condemn only such animals as appear after the test to be, without doubt. affected with glanders; and We feel that we have been very careful in our operations thus far. While we have met and conferred with rhe committee named for that purpose at the mass meeting the other day, we could reach no conclusion as l am un- der orders from others here, and am acting within the bounds of my in struetions when condemn all animals that l find with glanders.
 That which appears strange to the Clovis people is that the stock con demned appear perfectly sound and hardy and in most cases such stock IS being regularly worked.

The basket ball contest last Satur-

by the score Of 70 to 4. 1t is readily
seen that the Idaho Springs boys
were vastly superior to their oppo-
nents. outclassing them in every part
OF the play. The game was compare
lively clean, although the one.sided-
ness caused the vain efforts Of the

Where Have the House Flies Gone?

The screen doors and windows. may
now be put away for the winter,
writes Prof. C. P. Gillette, OF the
Colorado Agricultural college. The
impudent flies that bring the germs
of typhoid fever upon their feet from
sewers and cesspools, to deposit them
upon our food, have nearly all dis
appeared. How will they get a start
again next year?
Like the bees, the bears and the
squirrels, the house fly hibernates
during the winter season in cold eli
mates. Probably ninety per cent.
perish, but few that are fortunate
enough to find favorable winter quar-
ters live until spring. When the days
again become warm, these overwin-
ter flies are attracted to stables
manure piles, where eggs are de-
posted that soon hatch into white
maggots that in the course of ten
days or two weeks change into flies.
In few days this new brood of flies
is laying eggs in decomposing filth
to still further increase its kind. Sew
cral generations are produced in this
manner in single summer, so that
by the middle of August the fly nui-
sance is on again in full force.

The very cold weather of Saturday
somewhat interfered with the plans
of the Tirol and Columbus lodges in
their observance of Santa Barbara s
day. Considering the unusual cold
snap the turnout was large. The par
ade assembled at the lodge rooms on
Lawrence street and marched to the
Church of the Assumption, where an
address on the significance Of the
day was delivered by Father julius
Meyer. The Central City band head
ed the parade and so cold was the
atmosphere their instruments almost
froze. In the evening a ball was CIV
en- in the 'Armory hall. Prof. Baum's
orchestra furnished the music and
satisfied the dancers with their
superb playing. The attendance num-
bered so couples.

Gets Into Print.

While in old Missouri less than two
months ago on visit to the old
home, Frank Branham, the sage of
Silver creek ran across Edgar White,
the magazine story writer. The ever
ready talker, Mr.. Branham, just
filled the story writer full-with
material-and as a result of the in
terview, the Silver creek miner is
generously quoted in Sundays Den
yer Republican magazine. The reader
can imagine how interesting the story
published in the magazine under the
caption, "The Mother of Andy" is by
the first paragraph of the narrative
which follows:
Frank Branham of Central City,
Colorado, was here this week, spend
ing his annual vacation with the
home folks. For the past six or seven
years Mr.. Branham has been devotine
his entire energies to the develop
ment of a tunnel which is going to
enable him to establish a free library
when the ore commences to rur
right. At each annual visit he has
been the same optimistic, care-free
castle builder, getting closer and clos
er to the pay streak all the while
and planning out his ambitions. But
this time he talked little and seemed
to to shun company"

Mrs. John Cirolini who was the re-
cipicnt of goodly sum of money
contributed by the members of the
Tirol and other Austrian lodges par
ticipating in the observance of Santa
Barbara's day, expresses to the don
ors her sincere appreciation. Mrs.
Cirolini was SO unfortunate a few
months ago as to lose her husband ty
death. He was a member Of the Tirol
lodge and it is a generous trait of
the members to see that the widows
and children of their deceased broth
ers are provided for.

Robert Crispin has received num-

him for the position of postmaster OF
the local office. Mr.. Crispin is serv-
ing as assistant postmaster under
Robert Wilkinson, whose term ex.
pires in April OF next year. The ap-
pointment is usually made by the
president between the first of the
year and the month OF April and is
then confirmed by the senate. 1t is
noised about that NJ. X. Sullivan Is
also an aspirant for the position. 1t
is probable that a warm contest will
develop over the appointment. AS It
is matter concerning the Republi-

locally have no voice or suggestion in
the selection of the postmaster they
