Pioneer residents of Lamar
will recall the Jennings family,
father and sons, who located at
Boston, Baca county, in 1887,
where they practiced law and
dealt in real estate. The town
site of Boston is part of the un-
broken prairie now, but in those
days it was a lively burg, with
saloons, dance halls, hotels and
real estate Offices too numerous
to mention and a cornet band of
thirty pieces. The elder Jen-
nings was a courtly and delight
full gentleman of the old south,
and his sons We're young men of
ability. When the boom waned
at Boston the boys joined the
rush to Oklahoma and tell into
evil ways Finally one of them,
AL Jennings, was sent to fed
eral prison lof Train foDDllls,
but he was pardoned by presi-
dent Taft and has begun life over
again in the county where lie
was convicted. AL is now Il can
didate for prosecuting attorney
of his county, and is making a
great fight for the place. He
admits his past record, but ap-
peals to the voters on the ground
that it is not what q man was but
what he is that counts. Many
who knew and liked the old man
and his dashing sons will wish
AL success in his effort to make
a place for himself again in
society.-Sparks.

certainly no better than it should have
been. Such, at least, was the passen
gers criticism, as, groaning in an
ticipation of the, long night of discom
fort ahead of him, he disposed himsel
and his belongings about the cushions
of the frst-class compartment which
be occupied in solitary grandeur.
O'Rourke had no intention of leav
ing anything undone that might tend
to mitigate the terrors of the journey
Five days had elapsed since thai
morning in the oasis. In the interVa
he had again dared the danger Of the
desert, returning to Biskra alone by
route more direct than that which hac
brought him up with the flying col
umn. Discharging the guide with
gratuity larger than his ebbing means
warranted, he had proceeded to Ell
Gucrrah by the first daily train, anc
so now found himself on the direct
line of communication with Algiers
and the Governor-General.
His chiefest concern now lay with
the future and the Pool of Flame;
both bulked large upon the horizon
and were at once the architects anc
the nuclei of a thousand different
plans of action.
So far, the affair had worked
smoothly; he anticipated little trou
bic.
So thinking he drowsed, and in the
course of time lulled by the hammer
ing of fat-wheel at the forward enc
Of the. coach, fell asleep. He waken
ed suddenly after a nap of some two
hours or so, to confusion of impress
sions: that the train had stopped;
that some one had invaded his com
partment; that cold blast was blow
ing across his wrists. Bewildered anc
not half master of his senses, he start
ed up and fell back with a thud, as
sisted to resume a recumbent position
by heavy blow upon his chest, dellv
cred by some person for the moment
unknown. simultaneously he was
aware Of a clicking sound, followed BY
the sensation of being unable to move
his feet; and then, the clouds clearing
from his understanding, he realized
that the cold upon his wrists was thai
of steel With handouts also on his
ankles, he lay helpless, unable ever
to protest because Of cloth waddeG
tightly into his mouth and a irm hanG
that prevented election.
Other hands were rifling his pock
cts, swiftly but after buogling fash

examination Of his person-Whict
was so thorough that it included
the opening of his shirt to as

was concluded and the adyentHrel
was roughly jerked into sitting po

Preparations for breakfast were to-
ward; an aroma of coffee and bacon
hung in the still, crisp air. The troop
~ers were bustling about as if moth
ing had happened, laughing and jok-
ing, cleaning rifles, feeding the me-
hara, striking tents, drawing water
from the palm-ringed well round
which the camp had been made.
Out of sight beyond the edge of the
:sunken oasis detachment was dig
;ging shallow trenches for the dead.
In the open Chambret lay dying, a
stark grim figure in the growing
light. O'Rourke sat by his side, near
the head Of the improvised litter, el-
bow in knee, chin in hand, eyes fixed
on the face of his friend.
Just before sunrise the man on the
litter stirred, moaned, opened his eyes
and turned his head to see O'Rourke.
He smiled wanly. Mon ami," he said
in tones faint yet thick.
The Irishman rose. "Don't talk"
said be. ''Ill be calling the surgeon"
But Chambret stayed him with a
gesture ''Has he not told you, dear
Griend?" he asked.
O'Rourke hesitated. "Told me
what?"
THAT ny wound was fatal mortal?
Surely he must have told you.
It IS SC. Presently I die Con-

REJECT LINDsEY's CHOICE

Denver, Sept. 2.-The progressive
county convention today whipped Ben
jamin B. Lindsey, Roosevelt's ColOrado }
representative, to a standstill when he
attempted to have the convention nom
mate his friend John Rush for district
attorney. During the day Lindsey,
Rush and the Denver Post formed a
combination to secure the nomination
of Rush as district attorney and Lind
sey went to the county convention for
the purpose of putting it through.
However Daniel Sullivan went there
for the purpose of seeing that it was
not put through and Sullivan won. In.
stead of nominating Rush, the names
of five candidates We're presented and
a committee of sixteen was appointed
to make recommendations out of the
five at later convention to be held
September IA. The committee was in
strected to only consider the five
names that were presented to it.
Only about 10 persons were in at,
tendance at the convention. But 1t
was one of the rowdiest, noisiest, un-
controllable, say what you please, gath
erings that has been held in this city
in many a day. Nearly every man
who got up to speak came in for a
reasonable amount of roasting and
nearly all of the candidates presented
were hissed and cheered alike by those
present. The convention was in a con
tinuous turmoil from the time it start.

INCREASED BEET ACREAGE
ON WESTERN SLOPE

Grand Junction, Sept. 4.-The Granl
Junction sugar factory, owned by the
Western Sugar and Land company,
will open for the season run about Sep
tember 10, with total of 10000 tons
of beets to be sliced. This is the
largest beet crop in the history of west
ern Colorado and will crowd the fac
tory to its fullest capacity until after
New Year. The beet crop will mean
over 100000 to the ranchers in this
vicinity for their beets and will mean
a similar amount in wages to laborers.
There are 10000 acres in beets and
digging has been started.
Last year there were about 5000
acres in beets and 10000 tons.

EXPENSIVE ARTHUR WEST

When Arthur West, the jewelcr, was
convicted in police court last spring
of selling liquor he appealed the case
and Walter Hood, Jake Starr and Louis
ldzenton signed his appeal bond. Later,
when the case came up in the district
court on the appeal, West failed to
appear and judgment was entered by
default. The bondsmen took the case
up to the supreme court which tribunal
refused to interfere with the iudgment
of the lower court. The bondsmcn had
to make good and since the last issue
of this paper they sent their checks n
the district court for the full amount
of the fine and costs, amounting to
bit over $500. This is more money
than Arthur West would be worth To
