A quiet but pretty wedding took
place in University Park Thursday af-
ternoon at O'Clock.
The contracting parties were Will
lam Henry Victor and Miss Beatrice
B. Richards, both Of Nevadaville, nea'
Central City, Colo.
The young couple came to Denver
to celebrate Colorado day, and, in
cidentally. to get away from the un-
pleasantness attending charivarri
which always accompanies a home
wedding in those wedding in those
parts.
Their reason for coming to Univer-
sity Park was that they might have
the services of their own pastor, the
Rev. Benjamin Eite!george, until last
June student of the University of
Denver, but having supplied Black
Hawk and Russell Gulch for five
years as a student pastor and during
the last year Nevadaville also. He
received his masters degree in june.
of promising career, now in the en-
ploy OF the Frontenac mine in Rus
sell Gulch.
Miss Richards is the daughter of
Mrs. Mamie Richards of Nevadaville.
She was born in that town and
graduated from the Central City High
school in the class of 1909.
Miss Viola Richards, sister of the
bride, acted as bridesmaid, and John
F. Sinclair OF the University of Den
yer was best man. The witnesses
were Mrs. Lewis of Central City, a
sister of the bride. the Rev. w. j..
Kidd Of the University Of Denver and
Tiff School of Theology. and Mrs. R.
Dever, at whose home the wedding
took place, 2114 South Clayton.
The young couple have the good
wishes of many friends Of Gilpin

new life in Central City.-Sunday' g

OIL PRODUCTION RECORD.

In 1901 the Unitei States produced
sixty-nine and onethird million bar
rels Of petroleum. Last year We pro-
duced two hundred twenty ond one
half million barrels or a gain of more
than 300 per cent. Yet today the
price CT gasoline, kerosene and other
petroleum products is going "out of
sight"-especially the price of gaso-
line.
Just what this advance in price, in
face Of the great increase of pro-
iuction mears. no one seems to be
able to say.
The Standard Oil trust has been
busted" yet prices of oil and Stand
ard Oil stock continue to go up. Is
1t all on account OF the increased
demand over increased production, or
does the busted trust" control the
situation?

REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY.

The Republican assembly of the
county reconvened Tuesday night and
completed their labors in nominating
their ticket for the September pri-

Jolts. Frank Moody was named to
succeed himself as clerk and record
er; the same with VIM. Mitchell for
sheriff, and Mrs. Isabelle F. Mabee
for superintendent of schools Sher-
man Harvey was named for treasurer
8. A. Rank for surveyor; DR.. Guy A.
Ashbaugh for coroner; Chris. Cassa-
granda for commissioner second dis
trict. For representative there was
aspirants for that office wree named.
The present incumbent, Hon. Leroy
j. Williams, refused to make the
race again, prefering to remain at
home and attend strictly to his legal
business. Black Hawk produced two
candidates in Tracy Hall and DR.. C..
NJ. Froid. Central City put forward
two favored sons in VIM. Warren and
Harry Eilmann. For assessor two
candidates bobbed up, Alfred Skeels
and John Robins being named. Our
neighbcr, VIM. c. Fullerton was
named for county Judge. These with
others for minor offices We're named

THREE CANDIDATES FOR JUDGE

The Democratic judicial assembly
for the First judicial district was
held in Arvada Monday and E. L.
Regennitter, of Idaho Springs, H. S.
Glass, Of Brighton, and Walter NJ.
Morgan, of Littleton, were nominated
for the district iudgeship. Regen-
hitter received 45 votes, Class IA
and Morgan IL. AS all three receiv-
ed more than ten per cent of the to-
tai vote of the assembly, will go on
the primary ticket, to be voted on
in September.
For district attorney, Samuel w.
Johnson, of jefferson county, present
deputy district attorney, received the
unanimous vote of the delegates.
Much time was consumed over the
contesting delegations from Arapahoe
counties and after strenuous fight
the assembly finally seated the anti
Morgan set. ]. H. Robson, of Clear
Creek county, presided as chairman
Of the assembly. The first judicial
district is composed of the counties
Of Grand. Clear Creek, Gilpin, Jeffer-
son, Arapahoe and Adams.

SENATORIAL ASSEMBLY.

At the senatorial assembly of the
Democratic party for the 26th SEN
atorial district, Henry C. Bolsinger,
of this county, and Joseph Hurd. Of
Boulder county were placed on the
ticket as candidates for the nomina-
ton as float senator from this dis
trict. Joseph Hurd, with the votes OF
Boulder county, plus three votes
from jefferson, received 46 votes in
the convention. Mr.. Bolsinger re-
ceived 3S votes.
In view of the fact that Gilpin
county has not been represented in
the state senate for many years. we
feel that Gilpin county is entitled
to some recognition at this time for
the office Of state senator, and would
ask that the other counties in this
26th senatorial district consider this
matter advisably.

A MARVELLOUS CASE.

An Observer subscriber in the far
away state of Maine, sends us the
following clipping from the Lewiston,
Maine, Journal, of July 18th, 1912.
A few weeks ago We published an ar
ticle concerning the birth of four
calves at one time to a Hereford COW
In Iowa. The Iowa Mrs. Hereford and
four children are doing nicely, while
the Maine Mrs. Hereford is childless:
six calves were born at one time
from COW owned by Thomas Will
Jams OF the town of Weld. The birth
occurred on the 5th of November,
1911. and attracted widespread atten-
tion at the time. The mother was a
grade Hereford and Durham, while
the sire was a full blood Holstein.
The two Oldest calves lived but four
days, while the others died within a
few hours. They were all handsome
ly mounted by G. w. Pickel of Range
ley, and are now owned by w. E.
Parlin of Weld. Mr.. Parlin tells the
Journal that people have come from
all over the state to see them, and
the case is one that has broken the
worlds record. No instance of the
kind was ever before known in all
history of COW giving birth to six
calves at one time. Twins, and even
triplets are not uncommon, but when
it comes to a full half dozen, the
case becomes unique. Mr. Parlin is
one of the big farmers Of Weld and
