very Wild guess indeed.
As "A further sample OF the rank
manner in which it sought to
mislead the public, is the state
ment made that the reason of
our town not being in better H.
nancial condition than il is is ON
account of the expenses incurred
in criminal cases brought ON or
caused by saloons. Yet every
one knows, and these gentlemen
know, that the town pays moth
ing toward these expenses; they
are paid by the county, and the
amount paid by the citizens OF
Gunnison OF the general taxes
that goes for the payment OF
such prosecutions, is very small

Equally false and misleading

Would the Citizens party through
its Committee be so kind as To-
answer a few questions about our
prospects of having successful
normal school If present conditions
remain. DO yoa think conditions
are as wholesome for normal students
IN saloon territory as they are in
anti-saloon territory If saloons
continue will Gunnlson be at an ad-
vantage or at disadvantage in the
competition with the dry school
towns and cities OF our state, Gree
ley, Boulder, Fort Collins and the
dry neiehborhoods Of Denver and
Colorado Springs, where colleges are
locatedY II saloons are good thing
in a normal school OF college town
why have the towns, cities and
neighborhoods, where these higher
institutions exist, abolished saloons?
DO you think it wise or patriotic To
leopardIze Gunnisons prospects as
regards growing aud successful
Normal for the sake of the saloonsY
What interest has the Citizens Party,
II 1t be citizens party, in the sa-
looms anyway? Who has anv per-
sonal interest in maintaining the
saloons except saloon proprietors,
and those who are addicted to
booze. Why should others fight
TO MAINTAIN them? Is there single
person-even among saloon proprie-
tors and boozers who will DENY
that saloons since they have been in
Gunnison have made more expenses
and more taxes for the community
through resulting criminality and
pauperism than they have saved
through license revenue?
Apsi 5 Every vstes makes Ns Record
Every voter at this time ought to

when the town has gone dry, be

question, How did you vote? If the
town goes dry no one will regret
having recorded his vote with the

goes wet no one will regret having

TACOMA MAN WILL SHARE
IN 100000 ESTATE
c. w. Crawford, Grand Uncle of Pretty Seattle High
School Girl Who Is Also An Heir to English Mil
lions

Z. w. Cra"4otu, at present in
Tacoma, is certain that he will
share in the princely Crawford es-
tate Of England, Ireland and Scot
land, which will be distributed in
all probably before many months
have passed.
Mr.. Crawford is a grand rnc,e
OF Miss Ethel Hostrawser, the Sc
attic High school girl, who is also
one of the heirs. His father,
George Crawford, a son of An
drew Crawford, immigrant to
Canada, is declared to have been
the direct heir to the Crawford
millions, though he never visited
England to secure his right
Mrs. Esther Campbell, sister of
c. w. Campbell, is now in ireland
and word has been received that
the case has finally been straight
ened out to the satisfaction of the
English government, which has
held the estate in chancery.
Miss Etehl Hostrawser, the Sc
attic High school girl, is a grand
daughter of Mrs. Campbell and
thus comes in for a share of the
estate. She is a soloist in the
Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception of Seattle and is 19 years
old
C. w. Crawford in speaking OF
the good fortune which has be-
fallen the Crawford heirs said
this morning:
"The story which we have al
ways heard is that two brothers,
both bachelors, originally made
their money in the distillery bust
ness and finally acquired much
property. My father was the son
of Andrew Crawford, who emf
grated to Canada years ago and
settled in Halton county, On
tario."
Besides Mrs. Esther Campbell,
her brother G. w. Crawford, and
her granddaughter, Miss Hostraw-
ser, others who will benefit by the
estate are: Mrs. A. F. Ferguson
and Fred Campbell of Seattle;
Hillard Campbell of New York;
Mrs. A. C. Clark of Vancouver;
Mrs. c. Walker of Montreal John
s. Crawford of Kansas. City, and
A. Garfield Harrison, a Seattle at
torney, who was retained by the
Crawford heirs to fight their case.
The estate is valued at about
$7,000.000.

SLUGGEO MAN IS
FOUND IN ALLEY

B. Devereaux, an agent for the
United States Health & Accident
Insurance company, was found
beaten unconscious in an alley be-
tween South Tacoma avenue and
G street on Ninth late last night.
He was taken to the Fannie Pad

time before he so regained his
senses that the police learned that
while he was passing the alley he
was assailed by two men, one of
whom hit him over the head with
heavy instrument, knocking
him down, and then he was kick
ed severely in the spine. He
claims to have had $50 with him
before the assault. Only 60 cents
was found on him.

humdrum home life and hurried to
the gay life of Pittsburg. A few
months ago her name was con-

Josie Mansfield.
Josie Mansfield's fatal beauty
resulted in the assassination of
Jim Fisk, jr., president of the Erie
railroad, in the Grand Central
hotel, New York, in January, 1872.
Josie was in the zenith of her bold,
brilliant, gray-eyed beauty, court
ed by men of wealth and station.
Fisk won the proud beauty and
placed her in a splendid establish
ment. He introduced her to his
friend Stokes, whose infatuation
brought jealousy and murder. Jo-.
sic Mansfield is now over 70 years
old, in feeble health, and since her
brothers death, an object of char
ity at WATERFOWL. South Dakota.
