Mrs Mary Copley Thaw, mother of the prisoner.
made a statement yesterday morning at White
Plains explaining the object of the visit of her

family had offered TO put up bond of 100000 for
the safe keeping of the prisoner should he be trans
ferred 10 their custody. and also denied reports
which have been published concerning the affairs
OF the countess. Her statement says:
The only request made for my son was that he
be transferred to the Bloomingdale Asylum. al
though as a sane, acquittedsman he should have
been liberated altogether. There suggestion

Fire Company Reorganlzed.

At cal ed meeting held at the court
house last Monday evening. the Holyoke
fire company was reorganized and the
following officers were elected:
President, W. G. Helland; Vice Pres.
S. T. Thompson; Fire Chief VI. Norton;
Assistant Chief Ed Hethcote; Captains
Leslie Kepler and j. A. Hazen; secre-
tary Leon Kepler and Treas. Otto Full
scher.
With the above named officers, the
fire company will soon be in shape to do
good work when called upon. The town
has for years been fortunate in escap-
ing fires but we cannot expect this con-
dition Of affairs to continue always and,
for the safety of the property of the
town, we should at all times have fire
company in first class condition for
fighting fire.
For number Of years after the wa
ter works were put in, Holyoke had
frequent fires but the fire company al
ways succeeded in doing such good work
that in the last 10 years, only one build
inc burned down and that was meat
market and grocery store combined and
the fire had gained such headway be-
fore discove. ed that all the company
could do was to save the other property
near the burning building.
The people of the town should in ev-
cry way possible encourage and assist
the members of the fire company for
the work they engage in is for the good
of the town and they give their time to
this work when they are 10 more in.
terested in putting out fires than the
other people of the town. The mem
bers of volunteer fire company who
do good work in their line are always
entitled to great credit and should have
he.hearty support Of the town.

George Z, Clark Dead.

Word was received at Holyoke this
week of the death of George E. Clark
on Saturday of last week at his home
in Arapahoe, Neb 1t seems that he
had lost the sight of one eye and was
advised that there was little hope for
saving the other eye. This trouble so
affected his mind that on Saturday
morning, when the other members of
the family were all out of the house, he
shot himself through the heart and was
dead when found by the family.
George Clark was one of the earliest
residents of Holyoke where he opened
bank, known as the Bank of Holyoke,
in the fall of 1887, in the building now
occupied by G. NJ. Mowry with his
hardware store. He continued in that
business till January 1900, when hu
closed out his banking bushes, sold his
other Holyoke property and moved to
Arapahoe, Neb., where he engaged in
the flour milling business which he had
disposed of before his death. He had
host of friends among the early resi-
dents of our county and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him The
family has the sympathy of many
friends in their sorrow.

The Phillips County Republican says
the election of Gus johnson as chair
man of the board of county commits
sioners was contrary to all rules of
courtesy and precedence Well, pos
sibly the publisher of that paper knows
but there may be other people who
hold different opinion on that ques-
ton. 1t has always been our under
standing that the craftsmanship was
placed so as to give each commissioner s
district the craftsmanship fair share
of the time. Commissioner district
No. had not had the craftsmanship fol-
4 years prior to the election of Gus
johnson as chairman. During those
four years, commissioner district No.
/ had had the craftsmanship for little
over 2 years and district No. 3 had il
for little less than 2years. The HER.
AID does rot lay claim to being an in
fallible authority on the "rules oi
courtesy and precedence, but if tn,
rule is, fair division of this honor he
tween the three commissioners districts
1t would seem to be about time for dis
trict 2 to have turn at the honor.

Our present democratic administra.
Ition seems to be decidedly radical on
the line of states rights and proposes to
show Uncle Sap thing or two. 1t is
proposed to show Uncle Sam that he
has no business to send his servants in
to Colorado to take care of his forest
reservations in the state for, in doing
so, he has interfered with some of the
cherished plans ofresidents of our state.
He is to be shown that his action in do.
ing so is not in accordance with the con-
stitution and that he is interfering with
the right of some Of the Colorado peo-
pie to use the timber and pasture on
these reservations when they see fit to
do so. When they get through with
this little proposed tussle with Uncle
Sam, they will at least be wiser but
that will in all probability be the sum
total o. the result.
Uncle Sam, under his new plan Of
caring for the forest reservations, has
recently turned into the state treasury
of Colorado $4,000 for timber sold and
for grazing fees for the year 1908 and
the state is just about that much better
off financially for the year by reason of
this new policy Of Uncle Sam. The
democratic administration would act
wisely by letting well enough alone.
