The Progressive Platform

There is poor comfort for stand

ton for democrats in the deClara-
ton of principles adopted by the
progressive republicans of Weld
county.
Briefly put, the platform is So
lar pleXus wallOp for the machine
and q practical confession of the
republicans that they have come
into the democratic fold, with the
exception of their view on the tar

cession from the rock ribbed ideas
of the stand patters.
An interesting situation is pre-
sented by tire action Of the progress
sives. IL means that there can not

every means in their power to name

talking to some friends in the
street when a rebel officer came up
to him and whispered something in
his ear. Fountain turned to his
friends and said, "It has come,
goodbye" and followed the officer,
An hour later they saw Fountain
leave the guard house with many
armed men. The soldiers chatted
indifferently and no one would have
thought that any thing unusual was
going to happen. Suddenly one of
the soldiers ordered the victim to
run. Fountain then walked with
hasty step and had walked twenty
steps when he was dropped by a
bullet through the brain. After the
execution Gen. Salazar visited the
consulate of the Americans and as
sured them that Fountain would
not have been shot. had he not been
indiscret to run. The fact is that
the execution was sanctioned by the
rebel chiefs and Fountain had no
chance to escape from the moment
that he fell in their power. This is
called the Law OF Flight In Mexico
They have the right to shoot a pris-
oner II he tries to escape and If
they do not try to escape they are
urged to attempt 1t.
Four shots were fired at Fountain
and but one hit him. After he was
shot the body was allowed to lie in
