SOLICITOR
GENERAL,
RESIGNS

WASHINGTON, D. c., June &c.
Frederick w. Lehman. solicitor gem
eral Of the United States, has placed
his resignation in the hands OF Prosi-
dent Taft. 1t is not known that his
resignation has been formally ac-
eepted but it Ia known that mis- sue
cessor practically has been chosen.
Mr. Lehman is Democrat and
has been prominently mentioned for
place on the supreme court bonch
and has been regarded by many as
a possibility for attorney general If
the Democratic administration should
come into power. His plans are not
known though some of his friends be-
lieve he may become active in the po.
litical incoming campaign.
William Marshall Bullitt of Louis
vile, Ky, should be under considera-
tion by President Taft as a successor
to Mr.. Lehman. Some officials here
regard 1t as settled that the place
has been offered to Mr.. Bullitt and
that he has accepted.

Alex Peterson Dies While
On Way to Durango
for Medical Aid

Aleck Peterson, father of Mrs.
Miller of Breen died today while on
the road to Durango. He was very
i'll last night and physician was
summoned, but grew considerably bet
ter and it was thought that he would
be well enough to stand the journey
to town, today, in order to have the
advantage of hospital nursing. The
end came much sooner than the fam
lily expected, Mr.. Peterson dying soon
after leaving home.
The remains were brought to town
and are now at the Hood & Ames
undertaking parlors. Besides his
daughter, with whom he had made his
home for some time past, Mr.. Peter
son leaves a son, whom the family
has not heard from for some time.
As Mrs. Miller is i'll just now, fu-
neral arrangements will not be made
for a day or two, and meanwhile an
effort will be made to locate her alb
sent brother.

THOMPSON PARK NOTES.

Irrigating and hauling oats seem to
be the chief occupations in these parts
just now. Mr.. Melugin, Matt Schae-
fer, Gus, Louis and Philip Gilbert have
been shipping oats lately.
Philip Olbert had party at his
house last Sunday TO celebrate Philip
Juniors birthday. There was a large
crowd present and they enjoyed them
selves very much.
Mrs. Erps was visiting with Me

There was frost last week which
nipped some beans but otherwise did
no damage The season is late and
everything is growing very slowly
Saturday we had quite good rain.
We could use quite a bit more. 1t
would be welcome.

BASEBALL
GAMFF0
JULY A

Owing to the fact that several Du-
range boys are now on the Alamosa
ball team an effort was made to bring
the Alamosa team here for game
on the Fourth. For some time 1t
seemed that the arrangements would
be made, but recently Alamosa ar
ranged to have a game there OF. the
Fourth and so it became impossible to
get them here at that time.
Manager Stanley, realizing that this
condition might exist, began communi-
cations with the Denver team that
was here last year and has completed
arrangements whereby the Denver
War Eagles will be here for a game
on the Fourth and another on The fifth.
The Fourth will be great day IN
Durango and hundreds will go to the
ball park to watch the game. Both
teams are stronger than they were
last year, it is reported, and no doubt
there will be much enthusiasm mari
tested on the part of the Durar2o
people.

A PECULIAR PHENOMENON.

large crowd of persons were i'm
terested observers of an unusual oc-
currence which took place at the de-
pot this morning, just before the train
pulled out, so that passengers going
east, north, .outh and west had the
opportunity to view the same, and, to
do them justice, made good use of
their opportunities.
The shower, 1--WE do not know what
else to call it), started at one end of
the depot, thence through one of the
waiting rooms, around the north end
Of the platform and finally into the
rear coach of the Southern train.
Small hard particles, that shone white
in the rays OF the morning sun, rat
tied against the car windows and
struck the hats and clothing of the
innocent bystanders, but the bride
and groom took the brunt of the
storm, and laughed as much as any
body.
No, the bridal party who saw Mr..
and Mrs. r. G. Henry off on their
way to Montana, and thence to the
Yellowstone park, were not exactly
stingy with their rice. There was
enough of the vegetable strewn around
to plant fields of several thousand
acres-more or less.
1t was interesting to note the diff
ferent expressions of the bystanders.
Some Of the married men looked their
sympathy, which was of the kind, II
know all about it, I've been there my
self, and thank my stars | can laugh
at the other fellow, this time" Some
of the bachelors looked undecided as
if there might be worse things than
natrimony, especially when the bride
is pretty; and others had an import
ant expression that suggested an it,
ward meditation that paraphrased the
prayer of the Pharisee, Lord, | THANK
Thee that | am not as other men are.
No woman has got me yeti"
As for the women both old and
young, they were all too busy look
ing at the brides pretty travelling
costume to waste time on thinking
about other people, or themselves.
Women have liked pretty things to
wear from time immemorial and they
will probably keep it up for a while
longer. AS an interested observer,
we may add that young Mrs. Henry
was well worth looking at this morn
ing.

PUTTING FININSHING
TOUCHES TO JOHNSON
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, June q

EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M, June 26.
Tom Flanagan joined Jack John
son last Friday. The Toronto boniface
handled the champions business af-
fairs in Reno and is to operate In a
like capacity here. Professor Watson
Burns is trainer in chief. The Cali
fornian athletic expert prepared"
johnson for his battle with Jim JEFF
fries. He is great man at his spe-
cialty and scoffs at all reports that
have Liz Artha's health so badly rid
died as a result of his alleged high
living since becoming the heavyweight
champion two years ago that he is
going to blow up in his battle with
Jim Flynn July a.
Jack is every bit as good today as
he ever was in his life,' states Pro-
fessor Burns. Furthermore, he will
prove it on the Fourth. We are not
undertaking Flynn, but honestly |
don't think that he has better than
an extreme outside chance of defeat
ing Johnson"
johnson states that just as soon as
he disposes of Jim Flynn he will take
on all comers in a fight week until
Labor day. Then me for my gilded
cafe in Chicago" quoths the cham
pion. IL will be a has-been after La
Dor day. But not before then"
John o. Talbot, the Denver sport
ing man, who is Tom Corbetting at
the Flynn-Johnson attraction, or, in
superior English, serving as the of
fetal betting commission, still has
plenty of 10 to money. However
he clings to his original belief and
prophesies that the betting will be
10 to z, if not tighter, the day of
the fight.
Flynn and johnson are getting their
full quota of the bug letters. One wise
Chicago gent slipped Johnson the in
formation recently that he had con
structed a training apparatus that
would permit the dusky one to lay in
the feathers and go through a full
course of work. By pulling chains and
strings, johnson could accomplish
most everything from punching the
bag 10 swinging Indian clubs.

CAUSES A
TRAGEDY

GUNNISON, Colo, June 26.-Lean-
ing over the edge of the bed in which
his wife Alice lay sleeping, William
Harrington, aged 80, fired a shot into
his wife's head, then shot himself
through the left lung, leaving his wife
in serious condition, but she prob
ably will recover 1t is believed that
Harrington will die. Mrs. Harrington
is 30 years old.
Domestic trouble, dating back al
most to the date of their marriage,
was the cause of the tragedy. Last
night the couple quarreled over Mrs.
Tarkington's threat to file suit for a
divorce.
Harrington worried over his trou-
bles all night, not retiring. His wife
went to bed with her niece, Miss
Alice Fry, aged Is, about midnight
Evidently they expected trouble, as
the neighbors had been warned not to
be surprised if anything might hap
pen. The shooting occurred at five
o'clock this morning and Miss Fry
was the only witness. Both victims
of the tragedy are at Ohio City.

BALTIMORE, June 26.-The ere
dentials committee of the Democratic
national convention met before IL a.
m. today. The Illinois contest, involv-
ing thirty-one delegates, was taken up
first. Each side was given forty-fve
minutes to present its case. The dele
gates of the Sullivan organization
were upheld by the national committee
and the Hearst Harrison organization
presented its appeal today.
I'VE approach the meeting of the
committee on credentials with seren-
ity and confidence, knowing that the
the cause of Illinois is progressive and
is just"
This statement was made by Will
liam H. Sexton, the corporation coun-
sci at Chicago, representing the con-
testing delegation.
"SeXton will be more serene but less
confident when the committee gets
through with him. He means he
knows the cause of that bunch is lost,
not just" This was the retort of
Roger C. Sullivan, national commit
teeman from Illinois. and the front of
the defense side of the case when he
was asked for a comment. The fight
will go to the floor of the convention.

CLARK FAR IN LEAD AS MAN TO HEAD

Two Days Gone and Democrats Still Ddang Roosevelt Pogress
Called On Dyan Rumoy That Visit Was for Purpose of Feeling Out
Nebaskan on the Question of Joining Forces With Teddy
Western Press

Western Press
BALTIMORE, June Bryan's
defeat in the fight which he made in
the convention Tuesday against the
selection of Judge Parker for tenn
porary chairman, is regarded as leav-
ing Champ Clark far in the lead in
the race to head the ticket. The con-
ciliatory course adopted by the sup
porters of Clark is believed to have
made distinct gains for the Missouri
an. Many delegations here are with
lao settled preference but with the
heartfelt desire that the convention
should choose a winner are now talk
ing favorably of Clark.
In view of the charges made by
Bryan of wall street interference"
there is hardly a possibility that the
convention will choose so-called re-
dictionary. 1t is not improbable that
some of the conservative forces in
the convention will make an effort to
test the strength of Underwood before
tiiIONllB lntlI NDltS 10 lldlk, DuL
they entertain no strong hope that
Underwood can be made formidable.
Much depends upon the act of New
York. There is considerable senti-
ment for Underwood in the New York
delegation. Clark also has had many
friends among the New York dele
gates from the start, especially among
the upstate contingent. A confer
ence Of the New York delegation to
ascertain individual preferences would
