CHARITY.

Stealing for charity is ut least an
unusual plea in criminal court. The
thief who steals to keep himself or
his family from starving is so CON-
mon that the circumstances must be
more than ordinarily narrowing if the
tale ever gets outside the courtroom.
The very novelty of the case of the
bookkeeper who took more than S6,-
900 Of his employers money in order
to give picnics for orphans and out
ings for the aged, and to pay for sur
gioal operations on children, has un-
doubtedly resulted to his advantage
But the charitable instinct in this
case appears to have had a peculiar
twist, the culprit's letter to III. jJdee
considerable egotism and love of
praise II stole to be classed as a
good fellow" he writes. His disburse-
ment of his employers money brought
him bonors and presents from his fell
low members of fraternal organiza-
ton. He wanted to make show. His
fundamental desire was not wholly
different from that of the embezzler
who spends the money he has stolen
on chorus girls and champagne,
though the ways in which he manifest
ed it were vastly less discreditable.-

THE TRULY CASE.

The case of Sam TRULY against this
fat and innocent old man came up
again this morning in the court of
Judge Ballreich. The whole TRULY
tribe, chaperoned by that genial and
wise friend, Charles Carter Esquire,
were ready but we took change of
venue to the court of Judge Shannon
and at 10 o'clock a. m. in the morn
ing, before noon, tomorrow, we will
have a hearing on the question of
having damaged the GOOD NAME of
Samuel Truby of Trouble Mesa. We
have been very much pleased with the
attitude of many of the best people Of
the town and county, they have gone
out Of their way to make it known
that they stood with us in our fight
for law and order and against any
and every disreputable individual or
gang. If the newspapers are to be
muzzled, so they say, it will indi-
cate that very sad condition of af-
fairs prevails in Durango and La
Plata county. AS for us we fear no
evil and would rather, ten thousand
times, be publicly known as the open
and unreienting foe of outlawry than
to dwell in the tents of the wicked
as subsidiary of any gang of ban
dts.

DENVER, Sept. 6.-Bruno Grosser,
assistant secretary of the National
Jewish hospital, an aide to Alfred
Muller secretary, was released from
police custody last night on $4,000
bail.
The arrest of Grosser was the re-
suit of an investigation of the hos
pital books kept by Alfred Muller,
who died Aug. l.. According to the
auditors there is a shortage of from
$S0,0D0 to 100000 in Muller's ac-
counts. Grosser admitted to Chief of
Police Armstrong that he assisted
Muller in covering up the defalcation.
Other information will be filed
against Grosser. Judge Whitford had
left the west side court and gone
home when it was decided to file an
information against Grosser. He con-
sented to return to court. In select
ing one out of list of fifty forgeries
in which Grosser had hand the dis
trict attorney based his charge of
forgery and uttering on check for
$945.70 drawn against the account of
the hospital in favor of the Kistler
Stationery company. The check was
made as follows:
Denver, May 81, 1911. National
Jewish Hospital for Consumptives,
pay to the order of the Kistler Sta
tionery company S945.70, account of
stationery and printing. Signed S.
Grabfelder, president. Alfred Muller,
secretary. Payable at the Mechanics
National bank, St. Louis, when coun-
tersigned by Benjamin Altheimer,
treasurer of the National Jewish Hos
pital for Consumptives. Signed Ben
jamin Altheimer, treasurer" The
check was indorsed on the back by
the Kistler Stationery company but
the Endorsement is charged in the in
formation to have been ALTERED and
counterfeited with intent to defraud"
by Grosser.

DOuBLE-BARRELED SENATE
FIGHT.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. Ga Dem
ocratic primary election is to be held
throughout Virginia tomorrow for the
nomination Of two United States SEN
ators, members Of the legislature and
county officials, The campaign has
been one of the quietest that the Old
Dominion has seen in years. Even
the senatorial contests have failed to
arouse the usual amount of interest
and enthusiasm, although the interest
has increased to noticeable extent
during the closing days of the cam
paign.
Senator Claude A. Swanson, who
was appointed TO FIJI out the term of
the late Senator Daniel, which ended
with the close Of the last session, is a
candidate for election to the full six
year term. Senator Thomas s. Mar
tin, whose term will not expire until
1913, but whose successor will be
chosen by the legislature to be elected
this fall, is a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Senator Swanson is opposed for
the nomination by Representative Car.
ter Glass of the Sixth district. SEN
ator Martins opponent is Representa-
tive Jones of the First district. The
general opinion seems to be that both
Swanson and Martin will win out in
the primaries.

the SNOWFALL The board agreed to
send couple of men down there to
put it in a satisfactory condition. In
order not to oyerdraw the park fund
they are to- be paid out of the street
and alley fund.
Chairman% Meuser of the claims
committee nscnanmended the rejection
of the claims of r. M. Leamon for
wagon repairs, Albert Faris for re-
pairing C. o. ID. laundry window, and
Joseph Green for wagon repairs, the
two latter, said to have been damaged
by the street team running away. The
bills had been investigated and found
to be excessive. Alderman Logan
stated the team did not run away
but were frightened by an auto and
at no time came any where near run
ming. City Attorney Moody said while
the city should pay all legitimate
claims, claims were frequently made
on the assumption that compromise
would be effected if the council got
in the habit of allowing all claims and
in a short time half the bills would be
of that nature. Upon motion Of AL
derman Logan, duly seconded by AL
derman Wertin, the report and rec
concentrations Of the committee was
accepted.
Chairman Wingate of the printing
committee reported that he had or
dered dog tax notices printed.
Upon resolution introduced by
Chairman Wingate os the electric
light committee arc lights were in
structed to be placed at the follow
ing points: Corner of Third avenue
and Fifteenth street, Fourth avenue
and Twelfth street, Seventh avenue
and Seventh street and Fifth street.
Monthly bills aggregating s4,922
were read and allowed. Chairman
Hanno reported the water bond in
