A MOST
CRUEL ACT
siLvERToN MAIL CARRIER BEATS
HELPLESS HORSE OVER THE
HEAD WITH SHovEL-MAN TO
ANSWER FOR CRUELTY

William Smith, who for some time
past has been carrying mail between
Silyerton and Ouray, caused consider.
able anxiety last Friday evening by
not reaching Silyerton at q reasonable
hour. One OF the horses arrived here
about halfpast In the evening with
bag of mail. After waiting = cou-
pie of hours for Smith a party com
posed of Charles Waters, Ernest AL.
len, j. r. Reed. William McNally, Art
lambertson, Ludwig Vota and John
Bennett started out In search of him.
They left town about ~ O'Clock and
met the man for whom they were go.
Ing TO search at the forks on South
Mineral and returned with him to
town. 1t appears that the delay In
his arrival had been caused by his
saddle horse getting off the trail and
laundering In the deep snow.
EARLY Saturday morning parties 70
turned To find the horse and the find
they made brought to light cruelty on
the part of Smith that Ia almost un-
believable. Instead of using proper
means and a little effort on his own
part To release the animal he had
pounded ii over the head with n shov-
ell Both the horses eyes were 10
swollen that 1t could not see and its
mouth all cut aud battered up. Its
blood was still on the shovel that
had been used by Smith to pound the
animal until II would leap out OF an
almost impossible position. Smith
had left the horse In snow drift be-
tween Chattanooga and the Burro
bridge, about seven miles from Sil.
verton. 1t was brought to Sllverton
and given treatment to relieve Its suf-
fering.
Saturday morning William Smith
felt that he had done that which In
justice would bring him In contact
with the law. and with his worldly
goods on his back started for Durango.
He was seen leaving town by some
boys and told them he was taking
some mall down TO transfer. Stage
Driver johnson OF Ouray swore out

structions being phoned 70 Durango
he was arrested upon his arrival there
and lodged In Jail.
The extreme cruelty OF his act was
entirely uncalled for, and It Is to b.
hoped that when he Is brought up for
trial he will be given the limit OF
what the law can Impose in such q
case. There is no punishment too ~
we're for any one who will brutally
pound one OF mans most faithful serv-
ants. as was undoubtedly done on this
occasion.-Silverton Miner.

London Clearings
Over Seventy Billions

Last year Witnessed the establishment
of high record in exchange of checks
at the London clearing house. The
total of GLASS;. 10000 was So per cent
greater than that of 1909, and 21.1 greater
than that of 1908. In commenting on
this showing, the london Economist de-
clares that whereas formerly the re-
turns of clearingS were regarded as a
most reliable index of the state of trade,
the transactions of the financial COM
munity, as distinguished from CONNER
cial transactions. are year by year
growing larger. making it less easy to
draw conclusions as to the part played
by improved trade in bringing about
an increase in the total.
This year" says the Economist, the
London money market has been subject
to exceptional influences. Postponement
of the 1909-10 budget necessitated heavy
government borrowings on treasury
bills, while the flood of new capital and
the rubber boom all helped to increase
the number of checks passing. In re-
cent years, too. there has been grow
ing tendency on the part of London
bankers to keep a larger portion of
money at call' instead of at notice.
which results in funds changing hands
more frequently.
''It is evident from the returns OF the
metropolitan and country check clear
ings that the ordinary internal trade
transactions have been more numerous
than in 1909, and that the increase re-
fleets not only the huge financial trans
actions. but a healthy growth in the
trade of the country. In fact, it is
rather surprising that the total clear
ings show an increase of s per cent.
when we remember that the nation has
had a record year in the volume of both
it's financial transactions and its eX-
ternal trade"

Canal Bond Issue
Fight to Be Made

The Treasury Department is prepar-
ing to make a fight in the House for the
adoption of the Senate bill providing
for an issue of s1OO,OOO.OCO of three pei
cent Panama bonds.
With this the department officials
figure that the needs of construction
can be met for the coming year and
the deficit of the current year provided
for.
Representative Weeks of Massachu-
setts who has made a study of the
financing of the canal work believes
that with 800, 1000, ,OO1 made available at
once, no further issue of Government
secureties will be necessary for another
year.
In speaking of the matter today MI.
Weeks said there is now a deficit Of
s14O,0O0.OOO, but that it was unnecessary
to authorize an issue of bonds for
that sum at this time. He thinks that
interest charges can be saved by the
adoption in the House CT the Senate
bill, leaving the remainder of the money
to be raised next year.
1t appears now that the Treasury
officials will call upon the Massachu-
sets member to take up their fight.
1t has been intimated that they would
turn to him for leadership in passing
this measure.

Horse Killed by Live Wire.

A horse belonging to Ernest Blunt
which was tied to an electric light
pole at the southeast corner of the
Rustic grocery store this afternoon,
thoughtlessly rubbed it's nose against
the pole and fell dead from a shock
from the wire running down the
pole.
The wires are on the pole with in
situations all right but by constant
rubbing the installations have been
removed leaving the live wire. The
current is strong enough to kill any
one or any animal touching the wire
thus left exposed.
Pat, Dugan, too, had a narrow es-
cape. He emptied bucket of ashes
near the pole and leaned over
against the pole and received a
staggering shock from the wire. He
did not touch the wire squarely or
death would have resulted. Some
thing seems to be wrong with the
earth's electricity today anyhow.
Three live wires fell on the street
this morning and the current does
not appear to be running in orderly
shape today, owing no doubt to the
kind of weather.-Charles City
Press.
