LONG STREAK OF HARD LUCK
is ENDED BY DEATH

GREELEY, Aug. 22.-Forrest and
Floyd Reed, brothers, 81 and 10
years old, sons Oh a farmer living
nine miles northeast of Greeley were
struck by lightning and killed yes
terday afternoon while hauling grain
to threshing machine. Floyd Reed
was knocked from the wagon, land
ing 80 feet away. The clothing on
both young men burned off, and one
of the horses they were driving was
stunned.
The Reed family came to Colorado
from Central City, Ia, four years
ago and misfortune has been their
share since coming here. The first
year their home burned down, the
second year two children died from
diphtheria and the third year theii
crops failed.

GRAND JURY CALLED.

Poor old Denver is again in the
midst of the worst kind of litigation.
This time it is the business of the
grand jury to decide whether the of
ficials of Denver, including the sher-
iff and the district attorney, the
Denver Post and others shall be held
for charges of violation of law.
1t is almost impossible to find
even short interval of time when
some of the people of Denver are not
prosecuting some of their fellow cit
izens. The people of the state who
know the circumstances realize that
Denver is no worse than other cities
of its size, but some how there are
more in that city who care less about
the city's reputation than one will
find in many another city of the
same size.
Those who are not aware that as
a rule the litigation is confined to
few selfish individuals may be
misled by the statements being sent
out about the corruption in our cap
ital city. Such advertising among the
people of other states can do no
good to Denver or the stare
This continual round of discorG,
litigation and knocking is injurious
to any city or communI:y of people.
There is just one thing to do in a
case Of this kind and that is to stop
the foolishness, get down to business
ard work for the uphuildrg of the
city rather than for its destruction

OH, SUCH is POLITICAL FAME

SEAGIRT, N. j., Aug. 22.-Gov-
ernor Wilson was in happy frame
of mind today. He strolled across
the lawns from the summer capitol,
whistling to himself, until he met his
secretary, Joseph H. Tumulty, who
was surprised to see the governor
walking about hatless.
81 just wanted to see the office
over there" remarked the governor,
"You know I've never been inside
of it."
The governor has been so engross-
ed in work in the summer capital
since his nomination that he never
found time to visit the busy office
a few yards away where corps #
clerks and stenographers have been
at work handling some of the can
didate's mail.

BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM.

The American people take a great
teal of interest in national politics
and that is right. They take less
interest in state politics and that is
not right. They are inclined to ov-
erlook the Importance of local poll
tics and that is decidedly wrong.
1t has been thought by many that
We are working the wrong way and
that we should give more attention
to local politics that the state and
national politics would in a measure
take care of themselves. The wells
that are found creeping into our
national system of government start
down in the precinct and work their
way up through the county and the
state to the nation.
This being true let us act upon
the matter and go to the polls on
September 3 and cast a ballot fn-
commission form of government for
Durango. 1t is more necessary that
you vote for the charter than ii is
that you vote for Taft, Roosevelt,
Wilson or somebody else for presi-
cent.
1t has cost the people of Duran
go considerable money and much
time and hard work to submit a
charter to the people for adoption
and we don't want to have to go
over this matter again. We can not
afford the expense. Adopt the char
ter and settle the matter.

PUEBLO AMAZON MAKES A
PRISONER OF A BURGLAR

PUEBLO, Aug. 22.-Discovering a
man trying to enter her home on
west seventh street Mrs. T. M. Wal
ker made him prisoner and then
marched him several blocks toward
the police station last night. Then
remembering the revolver which she
carried and with which she had made
the man walk in front of her, she
apparently lost her nerve and al
lowed the man to escape. The wo-
man was at home alone late last
night waiting for her husband when
the man tried to open the window.
She got the drop on him with dis
abled weapon and he promptly sur
rendered.

WOULD MAGNIFY BLUNDERs

l. N. Stevens former publisher of
the Pueblo Chieftain, and now candi-
date for the United S,a+ss senate
On the Progressive ticket has arrang-
ed for debate with Merle Vincent
of the western slope, candidate for
the United States senate on the Re
publican ticket. Vincent is Roose-
welt Republican and believes that
the progressive Republicans should
not leave the party to join the Pro-
gressives, but take their fight in the
party primaries.
Stevens claims that those who
wish to support Roosevelt have no
right to vote in the Republican par
ty since Roosevelt is no longer Re-
publican but Progressive. He in
sists that all who are for Roosevelt
or progressive, should not attend the
Republican primaries on September
10. He insists that it is their duty
to refrain from participating in any
primary since the Progressives will
s'Ns NHHSi eiAS law uOlQ a 7.
The progressive candidates will go
on the ballot by petition.
Now comes I. H. Devine Of Pueblo
and challenges both Stevens and Mr..
Vincent for debate as to the legal
ity of the nomination of Taft at Chi
cago.
1t may be all right for Stevens to
debate with either Vincent or De-
vine, but we doubt the propriety of
Vincent and Devine engaging in a
joint debate. 1t occurs to us that the
Republicans have furnished the Dem
ocrats enough dynamite for one pres
idential year. Apparently it is the
object Of some Of the Republicans
to completely demoralize the Repub.
lican party. The more these people
air their mistakes the more encour-
agement they give to the opposition
party.
That many Of the leaders Of the
once united and victorious Repubii-
can part have made huge blunders
IN the past few months there Il no
doubt. It Il no time to try to justify
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-08-26

themselves. 1t is a time to drop
what can not be repaired. To dis
cuss those questions that have al
ready gone into history as blunders
is to furnish the opposition with dy-
Mantle with which To further Grip
pie the grand old party.
1t may be well fol one party to
battle against another part, but it
is political suicide for the members
Of a part to engage in a revolution.
1t would be much better for those
who have blundered to go hide their
heads for shame and for those who
have been wronged to weep if neces-
sary but say as little as the circum-
stances of the cause will permit.

KID Mccoy RELEASED
BY LONDON JUDGE

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 22.-"Kid''
Mccoy Norman Selby) the Ameri-
can boxer, was discharged from Gus
tody by the magistrate of extradi-
tion at court at Bow Street today.
He was arrested July 26 on provis-
ion at extradition warrant, charging
him with larceny, alleged to have
been comitted at Ostend, Belgium.
McCoy's attorney said it was ex-
traordinary that Mccoy had been ar
rested on the uusworn statement of
an intoxicated woman, who, when
she became sober, denied her own
statement.
Mccoy happened to be at the ho-
tel where the theft was comitted.

FROM VERMONT TO MAINE

No sooner will the result OF YER
mont election be given out after the
third day of September, than the
people of Maine will be engaged in
a three cornered fight for the con-
troll of the Pine Tree state. The
election will be September 9.
More interest will be taken in the
contest there than will be taken in
the Vermont contest fo rthe reason
that no one is able to say what the
result Of the Maine election will be.
1t will be remembered that Maine
went strong for Roosevelt, that the
state is nationally Republican state
of long standing. For this reason
the Republicans think that Taft can
carry the state. The Democrats point
to the fact that they have been car
rying the state in off year elections
and that with the Republican party
weakened by the withdrawal of the
progressive wing that they can cas-
ily win the national as well as the
state ticket.
There is still another issue to be
considered in the Maine election and
that is the prohibition question. The
Republican party brought about pro-
hibition in that state and as a con-
sequence all the anti-prohibition
people have united with the Demo
Gratis. This seem to have strengthen
ed the party there in recent years.
The state is at the present time in
the hands of the Democrats.

Coal Company, was recalled and
admitted that the distribution Of
cars since Mr.. Kemp took charge
IN Sap Cnlber, has been fair. Pre-
vious to that time he claimed the
Render mine received 100 to 40
per cent; Echols, 107 to 10 per
cent. of their demands, while this
mine got only GO per cent. during
the same period.
He protested to Supt. Egan,
whose figures showed no discrimi-
nation, but has been unable to get
proper rating and adequate car
supply. He claims he is rated at
500 tons when he could get out l.
200 tons If furnished cars.
Kemp promised a rerating as
soon as a decision was handed
down. He has kept car numbers of
Rockport, Render and Echols,
which are only few miles apart.
He protested to Kemp that he was
not getting a square deal, and he
says Kemp admitted it. Mr.. Finn
ruled out this testimony, because
Mr.. Tucker admitted that the trou-
BILE had been remedied.
George Baker, international
board member of the miners un-
ion, took the stand to deny that
there are more than few miners
who do not want, to work regular
ly. He said every operator has
more men ready to work every day,
and S5 or 80 per cent. of the men
will work forty-eight hours a week.
The commission adjourned to
catch a fast Illinois Central train
for Louisville.
Decision will be reserved until
filing of further evidence and
briefs for both sides.
The miners were disappointed at
no immediate relief.

ELECTION WAS VOID
IN ncCREARY COUNTY
Court of Appeals Orders New
Vote For County Seat
Next November.

Frankfort, Ky, lee. 21.-The
McCreary county seat election must
be held over. The Court of APP
peals decided that the special cleo
ton last September was Void be-
cause the County Judge had no au-
thority to fix a date other than the
regular election day. The case
came up on the motion of Pine Knot
supporters to reinstate the injunc-
ton proceedings dismissed by
Judge Bethurum.
The result is a blow to whitley
City. which won over Pine Knot on
the face of the returns and had Sc
cured a mandate requiring the can
wasting board to make the return.
Pine Knot had been established as
the temporary county seat and all
the county officials. excepting the
County Clerk, Joe Myrick, are Pine
Knot advocates. Myrick moved his
office to whitley City against the
orders of the County Judge and an
effort was made recently to insti-
tute proceedings in the Court of APP
peals to Dust Myrick. Afidavits
were placed in the hands of Attor-
ney General Garnett. but it is I'M
derstood now that the proceedings
will be dropped.
1t is intimated that a suit to test
the constitutionality of the act Gre
ating the county which was tenta-
lively abandoned when it was ap-
parent that Whitley City would be
the county seat, may be pressed.
should Pine Knot win out at the
second county seat election which
is expected to be called for next
November.
