n. G. Duncan Shot.

One of the most fiendish crimes ever
perpetrated in the history of San Mig
uel county occurred late Sunday after
noon at Norwood when a man known
as "Sborty" G. II. Thomas shot and
killed II. &. Duncan, "A shoemaker Of
Norwood, with a Winchester rifle, the
bullet going in the victims back and
lodging in the intestines. After the
shooting Thomas rode into town and
gave himself up. He was brought to
Telluride last night by Deputy Sheriff
Alfred Durham of Norwood.
The trouble occurred over a debt
which Duncan owed Thomas. II
seems that bad blood had existed be-
tween the men for several months on
account of this debt, Thomas couiiuu-
ally nagging Duncan for its payment
Sunday morning the two inen met and
Thomas again repeated his demands
for payment, and, receiving refusal,
demanded that Duncan give him a
mortgage on a valuable horse which he
owned. This Duncan also refused to
do, stating that the horse was already
nQrtgaged end that he could not give
him second mortgage.
In the afternoon about 3 o'clock
Thomas rode out horseback with a
winchester rifle in the direction of
Duncan's ranch aud when about three
or four miles out of town came upon
his intended victim. Absolutely with
out warning, when three hundred
yards away, Thomas commenced firing
the first two shots went wild, but the
third took effect, lodging in Duncan's
back aud plowing its way through his
intestines. A man named Scott Leech
witnessed the shooting, but WAS too far
away I" prevent it.-Tuesday's Tellu-
ride Journal

Growth and advancement IL the law
of the world, and of nature itself.
Those who are not willing to grow
must submit to decay. Those not will
ing to advance must retreat, or be trod-
den under foot of the advancing squad
rons. Ii is more glorious to he shot in
the face than in the back and the man
who would escape with his present
holdings will not even have the poor
consolation of being live coward. If
Aztec, Durango or Pennington will
not aid us in obtaining the road they
will have no valid grievance if their
wishes are ignored or Disseminated
against in the new dispensation OF good
things which is opening before their
neighbors and the whole country.
Poor rates and unequal opportunities is
all the Ohjector and oi,structionist can
ask. individuals can well draw bene-
ficial moral from this parable. Duran
go Democrat.

DIR. Lee and Chancellor Buchtel,
who were advertised to he here and
dedicate the new Methodist church
last Sunday, got as far as the snow
blockade on Cumbres and being unable
to get farther, wrote a letter explaining
matters and returned to Denver. The
letter will get here rs soon as the
blockade is raised. We got our infor-
nation from Mondays Telluride Jour
nal. The mail service i'm this section
of the country is certainly wonder. J
The next attempt these gentlemen
make to reach Montezuma county will
be in June when the high waters are
assisting our railroads to give efficient
service. Governor Buchtel says he
will visit Telluride, Dolores, Cortez
and Durango this summer if he doesn't
do anything else.

Fine Horses Arrive.

c. H. Rudy's five fine horses arrived
Sunday and large crate of thorough.
bred chickens which he shipped from
yorktown, Indiana, and were taken to
Cortez.
When they transferred at Alanosa,
the two large horses one Belgian,
weighing 200 and Percheron, weigh.
ing 2, 400 could not be put in narrow.
gauge box car.e So mail and express
car was provided and the two large
horses, one in each end almost filled
the car.
The three Standard-breds are of the
Wilkes strain. These stations are al
registered animals and will prove OF
great value to raising good horses in
Montezuma county.

Councilman Andy Cartwright,
after an inspection of the work on
the new reservoir at Lincoln
Heights, says that the only evil
dence that is as yet in sight of a
reservoir is a hole in the ground.
and not a very large one at that.
The reservoir was ordered for
water relief for this summer, but
at the present status Of affairs 1t
will not be ready before Christ
mas
Assistant Superintendent Lind
say of the water department said
today that the reservoir would be
of an immense help were it COM
pleted, but he has given up all
hope of getting any help from that
quarter this summer.
Mr.. Lindsay say that another
unit of two pumps will be put into
commission the last of the present
week and the third unit some time
soon thereafter.

THREE HOUSES
ARE RA|DEO

At II o'clock this morning.
which, by the way, is an unusual
hour for raid on a disorderly
house, several plain clothesmen,
with the assistance of the police
patrol wagon, descended on three
resorts on East Front street, in the
one and two hundred blocks, and
gathered in five women.
Those who took part in the raid
were Detectives Hogan, Thompson
and Mcdonald, and the women ar
rested gave the names of Marie
Overton, Mary Butler. Mrs. H.
Daugherty, Aldashia Myers and
Dixie Lawrence. They are held in
Jail pending the arrival of some
one who will put up 800 bond
apiece for them.
A large crowd watched the oper-
atoms of the police and several
comments were made on the fact
that these resorts were pulled at
such a peculiar time of day, while
last night revelry ran riot at five
or six white" resorts on Front,
less than a block from the police
station.
