Governor Fort Of New Jersey IS entitled to
hearty congratulations upon the measure Of
success which he has thus far attained in re-
organizing the financial system OF that state
upon a reasonable and logical basis Never
perhaps in any state has opposition to laudabie
policies been more misguided or tnsIncere than
there and certainly never has the public school
system been more dishonesty used as pawn
in a political game. The effort to make the
Governor appear as an enemy to the schools
and his fiscal policy as a raid on the school
fund" has Iudicrously failed. however. as it de
served 10 do and the financial credit Of the
state has been made secure. 1t is a good work
thus far, and when carried to completion Will
In itself reflect ample credit upon the admin
istration. even if there were not many other
good achievements on its record

"Dippy" Gregg is Back.

Sheriff Bolsinger went to Pueblo
the latter part of the week to get
]. d. Gregg, who had been sent to
the asylum two weeks ago. The Of
ficials at the asylum told the sheriff
that after he placed Gregg in the
in bed four days and wouldn't talk
or answer any questions he was ask
ed. He finally admitted that he was
shamming and was in possession OF
his right senses. He said he feigned
insanity upon the suggestion of par
ties here who told him that If he
could make the gag stick and succeed
in being sent to the asylum he would
soon be liberated from the dippy
house and would then gain his free
dom and would not have to answer
tanning money under false pretenses
He played the insanity dodge at the
asylum as long as he could.
Since his return he acts rational
and is altogether different in his con-
duct to what he was when last con-
fined in the county jail. He talks.
eats and sleeps-and doesn't burn
his pants. He will be tried at the
next sitting Of the district court and
in all probability will be sent to the
pen. He hasn't gained anything by
acting insane. On the contrary he has
spent time behind the bars, which
had he stood trial and gone to the
pen he would have been given credit
on his sentence.

RUSSELL GULCH ROYALTY ENTERTA|kS
Program Pleases Gala Day Crowd-Festivities
Unmarried by Accident-Brilliant Ball at
Close of Memorable Occasion.

Russell close second. Vivian Grif-
f1th captured the first prize in the
/ boys race, Delmar Brown crowding
him closely for the place. Perhaps
the prettiest contest of the series
was the girls race which was won by
Miss Merle Paul of Nevada, Miss
Hilda Scheffer being second. The
special race advertised between these
two noted guardians of the law,
Judge Harris and Judge Edwards did
not take place owing to the inability
OF Judge Harris to negotiate a loan
OF the necessary carfare over the Mof
rat road, he being marooned with
the other excursionists upon the far
side of the washout and unable to
reach home. The hundred yard dash
went TO George Williams of Central
and the two hundred yard event was
easily captured by Henry Sankey of
Russell. Outside of the ball games
the tug-of-war furnished the most ex-
cltement, one woman becoming so
hysterical in her enthusiasm that
when she came 60, she found herself
beating an inoffensive old gentleman
over the head with her umbrella. In
this event the big men of Nevada
triumphed over the giants of Russell
while the smaller men OF Russell won
from the midgets of Nevada A COM
promise was therefore effected where
by the money was divided equally
between the contestants. The ladies'
race, the three-legged race together
with the postponed ball game will
take place next Sunday and owing to
the interest already aroused in these
events, record breaking crowd will
be in attendance. A record of the
three days celebration would not be
complete without some recognition of
the music furnished by the Russell
band. In the quality of music render
ed as well as the good judgement
displayed IL their appropriately seiec-
tions they scored heavily with the
large crowd present. The dances un-
der the auspices of the base ball
club were rendered enjoyable by per-
feet order, good music and varied
programs. Altogether Russell in this
attempt of an elaborate observance
of the nations birthday may well be
proud of the success achieved.

Livesay's Successor.

Trouble which has been brewing
between j. MacD. Livesay and w. NJ.
Morgan, the attorney of this district
for some time eliminated last week
in the removal of the former as de-
putty district attorney in jefferson
county. The breach between the two
has been widening as result of the
selling of liquor at Lakeside on Sun
days. Livesay took the view that the
law does not prohibit hotels. restau-
rants and cafes from serving liquors
with meals or food and the district
attorney seems to be receiving his
instructions from E. Z. Mclaughlin
of the Anti-Saloon league, who wants
the sale of liquor at Lakeside on Sun
day stopped under all circumstances.
Samuel Johnson, Denver attorney
and resident of Berkeley. Jeffer.
son county, has been appointed de-
putty district attorney to fill the va
cancy caused by the removal of De
putty Livesay. johnson was originally
considered for the office but declined

BUILDING THE ROAD

! Strenuous efforts are being made
to have the Hall road completed in
to Central by the latter part of fall
and in view of the fact that the c.
d S. Is to be tied up from a day to
two or three weeks every time a lit
tie rain falls to cool the oppressive
atmosphere, the citizens are waxing
enthusiastic over the new line. Sat
urday night % head of stock arrived
at the camp of the Hall Construc-
ton company on Beaver creek and
30 teams and 40 men are now push
ing the grade work More teams will
be put in use as rapidly as they can
be secured and the number is ex-
pected to reach 80 by the end of the
month. With this number of teams
and the force of men at work, an
average of three miles of grading a
month can be maintained
r. A. Hall, talking to an Observer
representative this week, said he
would like to secure the assist
of some in Central who had teams
that were not working all the time.
He could also use number of men.
He said he would make it worth
the time of the teamsters and grad
ers who would be willing for the pre-
sent to take stock in the road. Meals
for the men and feed for the horses
would be furnished by the Construc-
tion company. There is a mile or two
of the grading in the creek that can
be done with teams and scrapers
that teamsters could do in a very
short time and it would be quite
lift toward completing the line.
The writer has often heard men
owning teams make the assertion
that they would be willing to do
their share toward bringing the Hall
road into Central by putting their
teams to work on the grading and
aid along this line is just as accept
able as money. The Construction
company is not asking the work of
teams or men for nothing but is will
ing to pay in stock which is equiva-
lent to money. The road is going to
be built, of course. whether this plan
is carried out or not, but assistance
of this kind now will just be the
means of Central realizing in a short
er time her desire for a real rail-
road, and one that will not be wash
ed in, out and buckled in the center
every time little freshet comes
down.

snappy Game at City Park.

AS the sporting writer sat in the
grandstand Wednesday afternoon he
could not help but wonder why there
were not a thousand present instead
of the paltry hundred that attended
the game between the Butchers
and the Grocers. II the first games
of the season, promised little, it
must be acknowledged that the boys
are now playing the game of their
lives and with a little more enthus-
iastic support, even better work may
be expected in future games. Those
present Wednesday We're certainly
treated to a high class exhibition of
the national game. In fact some of
the most sensational plays ever made
on the local diamond were pulled off
and the crowd was kept on tiptoe
with excitement until the last ball
was pitched. OF course. as in all
amateur games. some of the stunts
were more amusing than scientific
but this only added to the interest
of the game. Aside from Sherman
McCallister's tenacious grip upon
first base when he had ample time
to make a complete circuit of the
bags, the playing was far from
amateurish. McCallister explained af
terwards that the constant habit of
keeping his hand upon the scales
was responsible for his inability TO
jar loose from the initial sack. In
other words. in fit of absentmind-
edness he thought he was weighing
meat. Frank Schmidt covered himself

HORSES STOLEN

| oueTHI fTed BOlSlnSer and A. s.
Gundy made trip to Tolland and
Rollinsville yesterday in search of q
couple of horse thieves who had stol.
en- some horses pastured at Dun
stones ranch near Missouri lake and
at Gundy's ranch. The stealing was
done Monday evening. Frank and Jim
Gray who had put their horses in the
Dunstone pasture until after the
Fourth, went out to get them Mon
day evening. They reached the ranch
at O'Clock and found man with
halter on one of their mares,
Frank Gray told the fellow that the
horse belonged to him and ordered
the halter removed. The man demur-
red, saying he was getting paid to
catch the horse. After Gray had
taken his horse another man came
longing to w. H. Malet, of Black
Hawk, and was driving a herd of
horses. He had lassoed a horse be-
longing to EnSel Hepberger, of Black
and was dragging the lariat The
man came up to where the Gray boys
We're gathering their stock and in ex-
planning his actions said that he was
after bald-faced horse which belong
ed to him and had jumped the fence
and gotten into the pasture among
the other horses; that in attempting
to lasso the animal he got the rope
over the head of Hepberger's horse
and was attempting to catch Hep
berger's horse to get his rope. He
gave as reason for catching Gray's
horse that his horse followed the
mare more closely than any of the
Others in the herd and thought by
catching the mare ne would then be
able to get his horse.
The men told a pretty straight
story and the Gray boys never sus-
picioned that they were horse thieves.
They got their horses and came to
town. Tuesday Gun1y discovered that
one of his horses was missing from
his pasture and Mr.. Malet learned
that his horse was gone from Dun
stones. Hepberger went after his
horses, but none of them had been
stolen. Yesterday Mr.. Gundy came to
town and got the sheriff tc go with
him to Boulder park, where it was
reported that the men and horses had
been seen. The trip availed them
nothing as they could see nothing
of the horse thieves.
Some We're of the belief that
Shamas O'Brien, who was sent to
the pen" from this county on
charge of horse stealing and who is
supposed to have been liberated re-
Gently. had hand in Mondays steal.
A party who was coming up from
Golden Friday of last week say they
saw him him on the train. The sheriff
today communicated with the Off
cials at the penitentiary and was in
formed that Shamas is still occupying
a cell at that institution.
