Vote for E. r. Booth for
alderman, fourth ward.

Three different cases of mine sneak
thieves, the night providers who would
rather steal powder, fuse, rails, etc,
than work for them, have been reported
within the last week Efforts are being
made to locate them, and in one in
stance at least. the evidence is very
strong A dose of hot lead would be
very fitting if any one is discovered in
the act, followed by new suit of tar
and feathers. Leasers and miners
working faithfully and who buy their
material should have protection against
these low, lazy, thieving scoundrels,
when the former have taken ample
methods to protect their supplies.
The Union temperance meeting un-

the Union Choir maintained their fine
reputation under the leadership of
the skilled chorister, Mr.. Louis John
son of the Methodist church. The
addresses by Revs. Jones, of the Pres
byterian and Dye, of the Methodist
were filed with the most inspiring
facts on the Progress of Prohibition
and 'Does Prohibition Prohibit?' re-
spectively We're heard with unabatec
interest from start to finish.

The voters of the second ward did
themselves proud when they nominated
P. J. Peterson, familiarly known as
"Pete" for one of their alderman. AS
business man his word is as good as
any mans bond and as citizen there
are none better. He will make a
most useful and acceptable member
of the council. Born in Denmark he
came to this country in 1888 and in 1880
he took out his final papers that made
him a full citizen. For eleven years
he held a trusted position with the
Colorado Packing company and during
all this time he was held in the high
est esteem by his employers. In 1897
he came to Idaho Springs, and his rec
ord here has been one Of industry,
attention to duty and the greatest re-
gard for his business relations. He
will make an alderman of the first class.
Vote for 'Pete."

FAKE EVIDENCE TO ORDER
Manufacture Of False Testimony Has
Become a Fine Art in New
York,

Recently a very conspicuous di.
vorce case has furnished an excellent
example of the wealth of evidence
which may be collected for such trails.
The layman in such matters doubtless
often wonders at the number of wit
nesses which spring up on every
hand, especially when persons of
great wealth or social position are
involved.
THE manufacture of fake evidence
has come to be fine art in New
York" remarked a prominent Grimm
al lawyer the other day. AN unscrup-
ulous lawyer can buy witnesses by the
dozen from scores of different occu-
pations who will testify anything you
please, and do it at a surprisingly
reasonable figure. / do not mean to
say that lawyers of any standing buy
them, but the supply nevertheless is
large. Nor do the lawyers have to
look for it. 1t is brought ready made
to their doors. Let big divorce suit
come up and the lawyers are at once
besieged with offers by these accom-
modating witnesses.
"The witness supply is especially
large, as might be expected, in the
Tenderloin. If bell boy is needed
to identify the defendant, an elevator
man to swear that the victim was out
OF bounds. maid or cabby to give
the most damaging evidence from per.
here by the score. 1t is surprising
how familiar large class of such
people have become with legal usage,
and how skilful in manufacturing Just
such fake testimony. They come to
us absolutely unsought with schemes
of testimony worthy of very clever
lawyer"
