oiseosered-by Detective Burns,

Many people in reading a country
paper run across items now and then
which cause them to remark. What
a fine writer tina, editor is" never
dreaming that he stole the article
verbatim from some paper able TO
employ men with real brains to write
for IL And some of these editors
are SO sly about wearing pilf.red
clothes that they go ON for years pos.
Ing before the public AS brainy or
witty men. when In reality they are
the merest dolts In a literary way.
We have an example OF this in La
Junta. One of our contemporaries
which comes out on Saturday. last
week published an article headed. "A

DEMOCRATIC BOSSES
ENFORCE GANG RULE
REMOVE ONE CANDIDATE FROM

Characteristic of the disregard for
propriety and square dealing which
has always been practiced by the

ty is their removal from the ticket of
J. A. Wilson of Mineral HILL candi-
date for county commissioner, and
the substitution of Atanacio Sena Of

ated by the convention held by the
democrats last week. His name was
filed with the clerk Of the probate
court along with those Of the other
democratic candidates. according to
law This occurred Saturday. Tues
day evening while Mr.. Wilson was
working, in company with other DEM
ocrats. for the success of the demo-
cratic ticket in the state and county,
he was notified that mis- name had
been taken from the ticket.
!, At first Mr.. Wilson, who was en-
. gagged in assisting the conduction of
! democratic rally in San Geronimo,
would not believe that his informant
, was in possession of correct informa

made. It was not until he had been

. humiliated by the democratic bosses

Mr.. Wilson was not consulted abou

tories are reaching here daily The
soldiers of the republic have been
uniformly victorious in the small
skirmishes which have occurred in
the last few days. The railway sta
tion at Yea DO Kiu, north OF Hanknw
was taken yesterday by the revolu-
tiondsts after sharp encounter. Re-

Advices from Canton today statef
that viceroy Chang Ming Chi OF thats
province had wired memorial to the
prince regent, asking for the pardon
Of Wang Ching Wei. who had attempt
ed to assassinate the prince a year
ago last April.
Pardon to the prisoner" he said,
would go far to placate the people
and to show the liberal attitude of
the government toward the repubh-
cans" Full pardon was also asked
for the revolutionary general, LII
Yuen Heng.
According to another message from
Canton, General Lii has refused to-
consider peace offers unless the
Manchu dynasty yields the throne -
the republicans.
Revolutionists are said to occupy
all the railway stations near Hankow
and to have inflicted loss of more
than 1000 on the imperials in battle
yesterday.
The imperial government is report
ed to have given in to all the de-
mands imposed b.. the Army League,
composing five garrisons in neighbor-

The German legation today re-
teived a wireless message from the
vicinity of Hankow stating that the
imperial forces are burning the ma
tive city of Hankow, and confirming
yesterdays report that the imperial
troops massacred men, women and
children during several days Of light
ing.
1t is evident that the Manchu sol
diers are infuriated over earlier Chi

the control of their officers.
