BR00KSIDE COAL.MINE RE-
OPENED BY JOE VEzzETT

Joe Vezzetti, Charles Vezzetu and
John Lippis have leased the Brook
side mine from the Colorado Fuel G.
Iron company and will operate the
property under the name of the
Brookside Coal company. They com
pleted the installation of a new engine
and boiler last week and hoisted the
first car of coal from the shaft on Co
lumbus Day" October 18th. At pres
ent twelve men are employed in the
mine, but the number will be increas-
ed II the demand for the company's
product justifes the additional ex-
pense. The company will not attempt
the shipment of coal, but will confine
itself to the local markets, selling
only from wagons. AL Baxter will be
its Canon City representative and will
endeavor to supply such demand as
may be created here for Brookside
coal
1t will be of interest to know that
Joe vezzetti, who was at that time
employed as a miner at Rockvale.
opened the Brookside mine for the
Santa Fe Railroad company October
first, 1887, twenty-three years ago.
and in the intervening period an i'm
mense volume OF coal has been taken
out of 1t, large quantities OF It being
shipped to Kansas and adjoining
states. The Santa Fe Railroad is still
the owner of the property. but num-
Der OF years ago leased 1t to the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company, which
has now turned 1t over to Mr.. vez-
zetti and his associates. Brookside
coal has long enjoyed the reputation
of being one of the best fuels Of the
kind in the Canon City field.

MAX HAHN ARRESTED
/ HONISER|OUS CHARGE
Alleged To Have Forged Names In Con-
nection With The Local Option
Petition Filed Last Week.

Imprisonment in the state penitenti-
airy for such offenses as the one of
which Mr.. Hahn stands accused, hence
1t will be seen that the trouble that
confronts him is a serious one unless
he can establish his innocence. At
the time of filing the petition Mr.
Hahn is stated to have sworn that he
was 4 legal resident at 146 New York
Avenue in precinct number twenty
and that he was qualified in every
way to make the filing as prescribed
by law. 1t is alleged on the other
hand by those who are endeavoring
to bring about the prosecution of Mr..
in Canon City and did not move to
South Canon until Sunday. October
10th. They further allege that the
street number given by Mr.. Hahn as
his place OF residence is not within
the boundaries of precinct number
twenty and that in the alleged falsi-
fication OF the matter OF the filing of
the petition he has laid himself liable
to long sentence in the penitentiary
as the law makes such offenses pun
ishable by Imprisonment
At the time the petition was pre-
sented to the county clerk for filing
he refused to accept it without first
consulting an attorney in relation to
his duty in the premises and was as
sured that he was compelled under
the statutes TO file il IL 1t contained
the requisite per cent of signatures.
The clerk was informed that II was
not his province to investigate the
genuineness of the names and sigma
cepted without question on his part:
their appearance being prima facis
evidence of their authenticity Owing
to the developments thar have taken
place during the last few days con-
cerning the petition and its irregu-
larities steps have been taken by the
friends of the local option law to
mandamus the county clerk from
placing the proposition of saloons or
no saloons on the ticket in precinct
number twenty and the hopes and am
bitions OF the "wets" thereby doomed
to disappointment. The trouble in
which MIR. Hahn finds himself is.
probably the first of the kind that has
arisen under the local option law OF
Colorado.
The nineteen names that Hahn is
alleged to have forged are said TO
have been written on the petition by
his fourteen-year-old son. Hans Hahn.
at the instance of the defendant
There is considerable feeling over
the matter among the friends OF the
anti-saloon movement as well as
among the advocates of the licensing
OF the liquor traffic.
