DEATH OF PERRY A. KLIEN.


which attend the Christmas season
was marred Monday, when the Ia
mentable news of the death of Perry
A. Klien was received. Death occur
, red in San Diego. Cal, in the even
ing of December 25th.
Mr.. Klien had left here three weeks
ago for California, where he had in
tended spending the winter for the
benefit of his health. He had a cold
when he left here and this is sup
posed to have aggravated his heart
trouble, ultimately resulting in his
death.
On the Goth inst, he wrote let
ter to w. C. Fullerton of this city.
This letter was mailed on the day it
was written, but no doubt due to the
press of holiday business which the
postal department has had to con-
tend with the past week, ,effecting the
entire system, did not reach here un-
til last night In this letter Mr.. Klien
said he had been in San Diego then
two weeks, but had not had an en-
joyable time SO far. 1.-THE cold had
when / left Central" wrote Mr..
Klien, "is still hanging onto me;
coughing nearly all night long, losing
good deal Of sleep. SO you see that
is not very pleasant. Although l am
improving now"
Mr.. Klien was "A years of age and
had been e resident Of the county
since 1859. He was native Of Penn
sylvania, but before locating in Gilpin
county was a resident of St.Louis.
For years during his residence in
Gilpin county, deceased was a mill
man and managed several plants. For
a number of years he was manager OF
the old Kansas mill. Two years ago
his health commenced to fail him and
he went to California, and was great
ly benefited by the change of alti-
tude. He could not resist the long
ing, though, to return to friends and
favored haunts in Gilpin county, and
when here last declined rapidly.
Deceased was single, and has a
brother and sister and several nieces.
He was of a quiet but most agree
able nature and acquaintances rapidly
developed into constant friends. He
was better posted on the history of
the county, perhaps, than any other
citizen living here. lie possessed a
good, clear memory and whenever in
formation was wanted on any occur
renee in the early days Of the camp,
he was always qualified to talk know
ingly and give accurate details. His
death is a loss, and a profound one
to the community that has esteemed
him so long. The lamentations Of
friends over his demise is general.
A telegram was received this morn
ing by w. c. Fullerton from San
Diego, stating that the remains had
been shipped this morning at 2
O'Clock. The exact time Of the arri-
val of the remains is not known, but
it is expected that they will reach
Denver no later than Sunday even
ing. The time 70 the funeral has not
been set, but the remains will be
taken in charge by E. L. Harris. and
parlors at 1914 Lincoln Ave. Deceased
was a member of the Masons and
Knight Templars and these societies
will have charge of the funeral.

well executed. 1t was the verdict of
the people that it was the best that
had ever been given.
The women's Home Missionary So
AkS meet on Wednesday afternoon

raising fifty dollars for the new
Bethel hospital at Colorado Springs.
There will be regular services next
Sunday. The pastor will preach both

hoped Of the tunnel.


A harmonious understanding with
all, 1t should work out tremendous
possibilities for the whole district
remembering it was designed for that
very purpose. 1t has already accom-
plished much and much is looked
for with time.
Next to the tunnel, the Lowe in
terests are probably the most ex-
tensive in Importance. Much money
is spending to place these in po-
sition which should, the coming year,
return extensive earnings. The mines
are probably in better shape to get
results than any in the district, while
the mill part of the enterprise will
soon be in a position to show the
result of the judgment of the man
agement.
The district may contain bigger
things than the above mentioned. 1t
Is not doubted such is the case.Large
as are these undertakings, it is here
asserted old Gilpin has still great
number of agreeable surprises in
store, not for those who wait, but
for those willing to seek for them.
Not to have the hope that greater
treasures remain is to show the
white feather. The stick-to-it mine
owner must win, provided there is
any kind of a showing. The nations
Of the world must have gold. Gilpin
county has always been known as
gold section. Millions have been TAX
en- from the mines, and the chances
are that more remains than has
been gathered. Believing that means
there will be greater incentive than
ever. Amy considerable depth has
not been attained. But where any
extensive work has been accomplish
ed abundance of ore with variety
OF minerals has been uncovered.
There is hope in that. Not to believe
in the future of Gilpin, is to lose
faith in mining.
Gilpin observer., 1910-12-29

The Observer extends to it's pat
rons and the citizens of the county
its well wishes for happy, healthful
and, prosperous New Year. We hope
find all In peace and contentinent,
ready to welcome an approaching
period. which we feel pleasure in con-
templating, will be fraught with re-
vival of commercial prosperity and
general profit-making. Let us be
thankful for that which we have en-
joyed during this year-and hope
full that the best is to come.

FIRST SKlRMISH IN GOVERN
MENr SUITS BEGUN BEFORE
JUDGE Lands.
VALIDITY OF INDICTMENTS
AsSAILED BY PACKERS
National Packing Company and Ten
Subsidiary Concerns on Trial in
Federal court-Admits Combination
is illegal, Not Its Acts-Attack at
Every Point.

Chicago May 25.-The first sfirmish
called beef trust began before Judge
Lands, of the United States district
court, here today, when counsel for the
National Packing Company and ten
subsidiary concerns assailed the valid
lily of the indictments charging COM
bina ton in restraint of trade.
Defendants allege that the indict-
ment does not go into particulars suf-
ficiently: that it does not charge a
crime. nor cite facts constituting a
crime; that ii there was a crime the
statute of limitations (three years) had
run against it; that the indictment
charges no interstate commerce trans
action: that no place in which COM
binaHon operated or had existence. is
alleged, and that it is the combination
which is illegal, not its acts.
District Attorney Sims, Assistant
James H. Wilkerson and Assistant At
torney General Oliver E. Pagan. who
arrived in Chicago yesterday. will de-
fend the indictments against the pack
ing companies. Assistant Attorney
General Pagan drew the indictments.
Assistant District Attorney James H.
Wilkerson returned to Chicago with
Mr.. Pagan after holding several con-
ferences with Attorney General Wick
ersham in Washington. He said the
conferences had concerned the Econ
omy Light and Power Company suit
and the packing company suits, espee-
tally the one TO dissolve the corpora

FLOATING STRUCTURE ToWED
FROM UNITED STATES GOES
DOWN IN HARBoR.
DUE TO cARELEssNEss RATHER
THAN DELIBERATE PURPOSE
Valves Had Been Opened and First
Idea Was That Japanese Employees
Wrought Mischief-Experts Declare
Great Floating Dock May Be Saved,
AItho Port Side Submerged.

Manila, May 25.-The floating dry
dock Dewey, which was towed from the
Atlantic seaboard to Manila, was sunk
here late yesterday in seventy feet of
water. The valves had been opened
and, for some unaccounta BILE reason,
could not be closed in time to prevent
the mammoth dry dock from sinking.
1t is the general opinion that the
sinking of the dry dock was due to
carelessness rather than to deliber-
ate purpose upon the part of station
employees, who are japanese, to cause
the damage.
Experts declare that the great float
ing dock, which was towed here from
the United States at much expense,
can be saved, despite the likelihood
that it will be submerged before tomor-
row morning. The port side, includ-
ing the pumps, was submerged toda1
and is partly resting on the bottom.
The starboard is still exposed but is
settling slowly and it is doubtful
whether the starboard pumps alone
could avail much.
The electric machinery which oper-
ated the valves is certainly badly dam :
aged.

in SESSION At st. LOUIS
Much Of III Feeling Against Public SER

st. Louis, May 25.-'@The hostility
and prejudice against utility companies
thruout the country Is largely unde-
served 1T is caused by a great deal
OF misunderstanding and a percentage
of truth" said Arthur S. Huey. of Chi

vention OF the National Electric Light
Association.
The speakers topic was commercial-
ism In the Central Station and criti-
etsm and advice mingled largely An his
talk Among other things he said:
II venture the assertion that at least
10 per cent OF public feeling against
utility organizations has been caused
by tho failure of operating companies
to take pains to please their customers.
con tho other hand. hundreds OF op-
Grating companies are now straining
every nerve to do everything which
can reasonably be expected OF them.
And these efforts are meeting with
public recognition altho complete ap-
probation Is a plant OF slow growth.
Two Sides to Question.
People are realizing more than ever
before that there are two sides to these
questions: that the public owes as
many obligations to progressive pub
tic service organization as the corr
poration owes to tho public
II regret any opposition to the grow
ing toward the creation OF state COM
missions empowered with regulatory
authority over utility companies Per-
sonally, welcome this movement be-
cause I see 1t in great opportunities

In conclusion, he said: The time

ers with the confidence and respect
common to ordinary business transac-

Lose. in His Plea for Rehearins-
Stay Of Sentence Granted Pending
Appeal of Case.

Chicago, May 25.-The motion for
new trial for DR.. Cleminson, convicted
Of the murder of his wife, was over
ruled today. The motion in arrest of
judgment was granted and sentence
was deferred to allow appeal.
Among other reasons for denying a
new trial the court gave his sympathy
for the prisoner as, one, declaringa a new
jury might hang, him. Cleminson's
mother, attired in deep black, rushed
to her son and threw her arms about
his neck when the court gave an ad-
verse ruling on the defense's motion.
The prisoners father remained in his
seat, seemingly overwhelmed.
Cleminson is alleged to have killed
his wife by means of chloroform. The
evidence against him was circumstan-
tional and he based his hope of a new
trial on the evidence Of the witness,
Mrs. Anna Schmidt, who is said to be
prepared to swear the doctor was in
his office with her the night on which
the alleged murder was committed.
