TRYING TO WORK
OUR COMMISSIONERS

For the purpose of catering to that
long and at present unsatisfied thirst
of few DeBeque citizens the Glen
wood Springs saloon element are said
to be circulating a petition to the Gar
field county commissioners asking that
a saloon license be granted for the pur-
pose of opening up saloon just out
side the Mesa county line in Garfield
county.
In the event that the license is grant
ed the saloon will be opened up about
two miles above DeBeque on Roam
creek and as close to the county line
as possible. The salooners are then
planning on improving the road out CT
DeBeque. 1t is said that this step
was not taken until the "wets" of
Garfield county had given up all hope
of DeBeque and Mesa county going
"weto
To combat this petition and the open
ing up of the saloon the law and order
people of DeBeque are now starting a
petition which will be submitted to
the county commissioners of Mesa
county at their next meeting asking
them to inform Garfield county
that the granting of a license for the
opening of saloon just across the
border would be displeasing to the
residents of DeBeque and to the ma
jority of the residents of Mesa county.
The Glenwood Springs Wholesale
dealers are not and have not been
getting the business out Of Mesa county
that they did in the days of the old
"wet" regime in this county despite
their stories that they sell more liquor
in Grand Junction and other Mesa
county towns now than they ever did.
Thus the people of DeBeque are at a
loss to see why the saloon should be
started in Garfield county by the Glen
wood Springs salooners, if DeBeque IS
consuming as much and more liquor
now than when the saloons were in

THE TAYLoRs RETURN

Congressman and Mrs. Ed. T. Taylor
returned from Washington the first OF
the week and they are delighted to get
back to their Glenwood home where
they will spend the rest of the season.
Without going into details as to the
work accomplished in Washington by
Congressman Taylor the Post is glad
to admit that he was constantly "on
the iob' and that he was worth twice
as much as both the other congressman
from Colorado. Men of all shades OF
politics gives Mr.. Taylor credit with
being one of the most Industrious men
in congress, always seeking to do
something for his constituents.
While Taylor has fulfilled our pre-
election prophecy by accomplishing
nothing in a Legislative line he has
been very active. and with considerable
success, before the departments, in the
interest of his constituents and, best
of all, he has had the good sense to
refrain from attacking, to any very
offensive degree, the president and the
national administration, and in this re-
spect he is several laps ahead of Con
gresham Rucker and one George W..
Cook who once worked the republicans
for pass to Washington.

Last Wednesday morning it was re
ported on the streets that Rio Grande
freight crew had noticed the body of
a man floating in the Grand river some
distance below Hunn's slaughter house.
They stopped the train and dragged
the body to the shore and at New Cas-
tie notified Mortician Farnum and Cor
oner Hopkins. The body was brought
to town and buried Wednesday after
noon. There were no means of iden-
tification save bottle of whiskey in
one of the pockets. This told its own
story. The body had been in the
water from ten to thirty days and was
so badly decomposed as to make iden-
tification impossible. even to those who
might have known the man.

WILLIAM E. PABoR PASSES

William E. Pabor, one of Colorado's
pioneers, having been member of the
original Greeley colony and later the
founder of the town of Fruita in Mesa
county, dropped dead about 2 O'Clock
last Tuesday afternoon just as he step
ped from the elevator in the Majestic
building, Denver, while starting to
make call on his old friend, Col. ID.
C. Dodge.
For several years Mr.. Pabor has
made his home at Avon Park on the
shores of Pabor lake, Florida. He was
just making, when death called him,
what he had said to several of his
friends would probably prove to be his
last visit to Colorado. He had visitei
his son, Frank, at Boulder and had
also visited Fruita and Grand juno
tion and spent very enjoyable time
with those whom he remembered from
former years.
Last week he spent day in Glen
wood Springs. saying that he came
here solely for the purpose of visiting
H. J. Holmes and A. ]. Dickson, both
of whom he had previously met in ses-
sions of the Colorado Editorial assc-
citation in which organization he for
merly played prominent part.
Although n years of age his step
was spry and his mind active - he
called on his Glenwood friends and
talked of Colorado of which he was al
ways very proud. He was much pleas
ed with the development made on the
western slope since his last visit and
did not spare his praise of the Grand
valley section.
Death was due to apople1y.

PATR|C|DE NEAR
TOWN OF RIFLE
Burdette Smith Shoots and
Instantly Kills His Father
After a Quarrel in the
Field
HELDT0DIsTR|CTC0URT

The entire community about Rifle
was terribly wrought up last Tuesday
over the report that Burdette Smith,
IS years of age had shot and almost
instantly killed his father, H. b. Smith,
a tenant on the ranch of w. P. Clough,
about two miles northeast of Rifle.
1t seems that as Smith and his son
were at work in the field they engaged
in controversy as to the manner in
which the work should be done. One
word brought on another until the
father threatened to punish the boy
severely. The young man resented this
threat and left the field in rage and
went TO the house, saying to his mother
as he passed her in the kitchen and
started upstairs eff Dad comes up
here II fix him
Smith followed his boy to the house
and started up the stairs to have the
row out. The boy had by this time
picked up the shotgun and as the faith
er started up the stairway he said
I" Don 7 come up here, Dad or l II get
you"
The father had advanced but one
more step when a shot rang out and
H. B. Smith fell mortally wounded, ex-
piring in about 80 minutes.
AS soon as the news reached Rifle
ShariT ta11 70 ha 1t,
of the tragedy and placed the youthful
lsla,-1t under arrest and brought him to
Glenwood by the first train and placed
him in the county Jail.
1t is said that young Smith has been
for number of years subject to epil-
epsy and it will probably be necessary
for court and jury to pass on the
question of his mental and moral re-
sponsibility.
Coroner Hopkins. when apprised of
the tragedy drove to Rifle in his auto
and after satisfying himself as to the
cause of the man Is death, and that an
inquest was unnecessary returned to
Glenwood the same way.
Young Smith was arraigned before
Judge White Wednesday morning and
entered a plea of guilty, saying he
made up his mind he would not stand
for any more punishment from his
father and that he warned him that he
would kill him if he came up the
stairs and he did so. The boy seemed
to be lacking the remorse that ordin-
arily would overwhelm one at the
thought of such a deed as that with
which he was charged and when asked
if he was not sorry for what he had
done replied that he did not know as
he was sure he he was not going to be
abused further. The attitude of the
boy raised a question in the minds Of
those who heard him as to his mental
responsibility. Judge White bound
him over to the district court without
bail

Elmer Lucas had poor luck with the
lot of fancy eggs which he imported
this summer from Paris, France. This
was due largely to the inexcusable de-
lays by the custom officers in deliver
ing the shipment to the express COM

New York awaiting a statement and
affidavit from Mr.. Lucas. 1t certainly
looks as though there was ample room
for improvement either in the law or
