mittee.
In 1879, Mr.. Perkins secured
title TO the $50 acres OF land n
few miles northeast OF Colorado
Springs, known as the Garden OF
the Gods. Throughout his life
time he maintained this great nat
ural park free of access to the en-
tire world, and, although ne was
several times approached by pro-
motors Offering large sums OF
money for the land, nc refused TO
part with IL. When he died, in
1907, the Garden of the Gods
passed, with the remainder of the
estate, TO his children, and the
only indication as to- its disposal
was this note found, i'm his own
handwriting, on the back OF an
old envelopes:
cit Is my wish that my children
give the Garden of the Gods TO
the city of Colorado Springs for
park purposes"
The marvellous and fantastic
rock formations of the Garden
OF the Gods have long been OBJ
jectS OF admiration and study by
travellers, tourists and geOIOgists
the world over. Once the wOr-
shipping place of the Indian, who
saw in the uplifted rocks the
forms and temples of his diety,
the Garden of the Gods is today
point of pilgrimage for the
white man of all crccds and ma
tionaliticS.

E'AVORS GERMAN SYSTEM.
1.-THE age OF duelling is past i'm
this country. In Germany, for
instance, IL is n serious thing.
Frankly speaking, wish duelIing
were i'm vogue i'm America under
the same restrictions that govern
duelling in the German army
that Is to say, that before a chal-
ienge to duel can be accepted
a military court must examine
the case and decide as 60 its
merits, and whether or not the
challenger has n just cause. If
not, they do not allow the duel
10 take place. If, on the other
hand, the challenger has a just
cause, the duel must take place
or the challenged party is dis
missed from the army in disgrace
am highly in favor of such n
system as obtains in the German
army today.
s'But since no such code exists
i'm this country i would be maxi
ing myself ridiculous, as well as
laying myself open TO arrest by
the authorities If I accepted a
challenge. In my statement to
the press last night L said: AT
first blush il might appear unfair
to criticise an old man. but L
stated at the same time that L
imputed lack of courage to Colo
mel Watterson in my letter to him.
Furthermore, I stated that il n
man Is a coward there is just as
much danger in attacking him
when he is old as there would be
in attacking him when he is in
the heyday and vigor of his
youth, because there is no moro
danger i'm attacking young cow
ard than an old one. 1t is nOto-
rious that n coward is not dan
gerous at all. If he was he would
not be a coward.
Therefore, the fact that Colo
mel Watterson is an elderly man
cuts no figure i'm this affair.
Moreover, I am no chicken, my
self, being fifty years old the 10th
of this month";"
Mr.. Chaloner closed with the
following parthian shot: "COIo-
mel Watterson's editorial was ut
terly unprovoked on my part, I'M
called for. untrue and insulting.

Mrs. w. b. Bowers, living at 100
West Clay Street, was awakened from
her slumbers and badly frightened
when she discovered a negro in her
bedroom about 1920 o'clock last
night, according to a report made to

The terrified screams of Mrs.

on robbery and that he was fright

he had time to execute mis- designs.
The unknown is described as being

with small features.
An examination of the premises
disclosed nothing missing.
An open window in the rear of the

Your friend,
EDW. Il. TURNBULL, JES.


Chairman Ellyson, as yet, has re-
ceived no minutes OF the Fourth Dis
trict meeting. which was held last
Monday night His information as
to that gathering is still what might
be called unofficial.
AS soon as the State chairman re-
ceives from Lawyer Turnbun a reply
to the telegram sent to Lawrenceville
this morning, he will write him at
some length. OF course. however, Mr.
Ellyson cannot anticipate the COM
mittee's action or venture to predict
what will be the attitude of his as
sociates as to the more doubtful points
of the new law. But he will gladly
furnish Mr.. Turnbul all the official
information at hand and do what he
can to facilitate the Congressman s
lawyers in their work.
Mr.. EllySon thinks Tuesday night
would be an excellent time for the
State committee meeting, as the fair
will then be in progress and the city
will be 0oubly attractive to out-of-
town people.
1t may be deduced from Lawyer
Turnbulls letter that his client will
desire the State committee to recount
the ballots cast in the primary of Sep
TENDER 21st and compare them with
the poll books used by the precinct
officials.
Some maintain, however. that the
committee will have no authority to
grant this request. Chairman Ellyson
does not venture an opinion on the
subject.

CLAIM ATTORNEYS
SAVE COUNTY CASH
FIGHT ATTEMPT TO ABOLISH
Facts and Figures Being Prepared for
Voters Showing That This Is the
Case-Some Statistics From
Eoxubee County.

Jackson.-In refutation of the asser
ton that the office of county attorney
is a needless expense to taxpayers, ant
greatly increases costs OF criminal court
sessions, the incumbents of these offices
are preparing facts ana figures from the
official records showing that instead oil
increasing the cost of administering jus.
tice the office has actually reduced ex
penses and therefore should not be abol
ished.
Figures compiled in the county Of Nox-
ubee show that the cost of five terms of
court prior to the creation of the office
of attorney amounted to $14,685.10
while for the five terms since the office
was created the costs have totaled only
$e,357.20, a reduction Of nearly 40 per
cent. These figures apply only to Grim
inal cases.
SO far a. can be learned, no deter
mined fight will be made in any county
at the general election on November 5
to abolish the office of county attorney,
and the incumbents of that office are not
at all worried v the outcome of the
litigation now pending before the SUI
preme court to pass on the constitution
atty of the legislative act referring the
proposition Of abolishing the office to a
vote of the qualified electors.
