bandit, who pleaded guilty to holding
up the Amity State bank, near here,
in July, 1908, was sentenced by Judge
Henry Hunter to an indeterminate
sentence of from seven to twenty-five
years in the Canon City penitentiary.
Starr took his sentence stoically.
He had made but one request before
being taken into court for sentence.
That was that his mother-in-law. Mrs.
Gordon, his wife. Mrs. Ollie Starr, and
their 5-year old son, Theodore Roose-

the reason for their absence comment

COLORADO MOTTO IS SOURCE
OF MUCH EMBARRASSMENT

Denver Nov. 27.-The Latin phrase
Nil Sine Numine." which is printed
on the state flag, was the source of
all sorts of amusement and trouble
in the governors office yesterday af-
ternoon. The facts are that no one
from Governor Fitzgarrald down to
the office boy knew what 1t meant.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Hustler of San
Francisco, who are on their wedding
trip, were being shown through the
capitol building and were viewing the
exhibits in the governors office. On
the east wall of the private office OF
the governor is the state flag. Mrs
Hustler spied it and also saw the Lat
in phrase and with woman's curios-
ity asked her husband what 1t meant
And right there she got an awful
jolt regarding her husbands abil-
ity for he couldn't even pronounce II,
let alone say what it meant He
scratched his head and told her that
pleasant things in the last ten days
that he had forgotten his Latin. Mrs.
Hustler then asked the party who was
showing them around. and he frankly
admitted that he had never seen the
phrase before and had no more idea
what 1t meant than a rabbit Jack
son. the governors messenger, was
standing outside the door and was
asked to come in and translate It.
Laws mercy massa. does look
like dictionary
Let's call Governor Fitzgerald"
some one suggested. "and see IL he
knows what 1t means"
The lieutenant governor was called
and Mrs. Hustler said:
Governor, what's the meaning OF
your sign on the wall?"
The lieutenant-goverpor was so bad
off as the rest. however, wanting to
support the dignity OF the state, he
tried to make believe that the light
was shining so he couldn't see X, but
she edged him around and he finally
said:
We'll you know l am only here for
the time being and 1t is not my duty
to know all about the office. II you
will come In next week in the mean
time will look 1t up, and will then
let you know. The facts are never
saw the blamed thing before and I
don't think it is nice for outside COM
pany to get me in this hole. However

bunch II you don't tell It. haven't
any more idea what the phrase means
than have as to how to read Chin

mum sentence he could have imposed
was five years. Judge Hunter told
Starr that If he conformed to all pri-
son rules he might be paroled in sew
en- years. Starr is now 36 years of
age. This would bring him out when
he was 43 or In 1916. .-
Mrs. Starr leaves tonight for Tulsa.
Okla, with her son, where she is a
teacher in the Indian schools there.
Starr will be taken to Canon City
in the morning.
Starr is three-Quarters Cherokee In
dian. He is alleged to have been i'm
plicated in many of the most daring
train and bank robberies in the coun-
try years back. His cousin-Belle
Starr-was a famous desperate her
self who could fan a gun" with the
best OF them and who would always

Starts sentence is very light con-
sidering the enormity OF the crime
The sentence meets with the popular
approval. as sentiment was with Starr
despite his confession.

had told him that It means: Nothing

But there wasn't one in the entire

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get

it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Most cough cures and cold cures are
constipating, especially those that con-
tain opiates. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup is free from all opiatcs
and it cures the cold by gently moving
the bowels and at the same time it
soothes irritation of the throat and lungs
and in that way stops the cough. 1t is
especially recommended for children,
as it tastes nearly as good as maple
sugar. We sell and recommend it. -
