and they now are as clean and happ!
looking as any children could pos
sibly be.

Cattle Rustlinq Must Stop.

Grand Junction.-The failure to Sc
cure a conviction in either of two
cattle rustling cases tried early last
fall, in which the Mesa County Stock
mems Association employed skilled
detectives, and the increasing loss to
cattlemen from thieves has caused the
executive board of the organization
to take steps toward protection which
are as drastic as those in vogue in
western Colorado before there were
courts. On each range a cowboy who
is known to be a dead shot will be
placed. He will have the safety of
the herds in his hand and will patrol
his territory as a policeman does his
beat. He will be paid by the stock
men, but will have commission
from the sheriff. He is under orders
from his employers to shoot on sight
any cattle thief whom he catches sepa-
rating cattle from the herds, and the
stockmen have received assurances
from the district attorney that efforts
to prevent rustling will not be inter.

Washington. - The attitude of the
ing note presented to the Cuban gov
ernment:
THE situation in Cuba is now re-
ported causes grave concern to the
government OF the United states.
That the laws intended to safe
guard free republican government
shall be enforced and obeyed is obvi
ously essential to the maintenance of
the law, order and stability indis-
pensable to the status of the Repub-
lie of Cuba, in the continued well-be-
ing of which the United States has
always evinced and cannot escape a
vital interest.
THE President of the United
States therefore looks to the Presi-
dent and government of Cuba to pre-
vent the threatened situation which
would compel the government of the
United States, much against its de-
sires, to consider what measures it
must take in pursuance of the obli-
cations of it's relations to Cuba"
The notification of the American
government was served upon Presi-
dent Gomez through American Minis
ter Beaupre at Havana. 1t was ON re-
ports of Minister Beaupre that the
note was based. He reported from
Havana that in defiance of a decree
issued by President Gomez forbidding
officers of the army and rural guard
TO participate in politics, many army
officers and rurales attended meet
ing recently of the National Council
of Veterans, an organization of veter-
ans of the Cuban war of indepen-
dence. Such participation also is pro-
hibited by law.
The veterans have been active in
the last three months, in attempting
to have displaced from the civil serv-
ice persons who sympathized with the
Spanish cause in the rebellion.
Press dispatches indicated that the
veterans were threatening to coerce
members of Congress to nullify the
law regarding the participation of the
military in politics.
