PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES
AND PRIZE FIGHTS NOT IN 1T

Miss Ella Silliman, the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. o. r. Silliman
of the Animas valley, went out on
the Red Apple train this morning to
Pennington where she will spend a
few days visiting the twine daughters
of Mr. and Mrs. Sam johnson.
While all the travelling public may
not have realized it, this was very
important event in the annals of the
Silliman and Johnson families, and
especially to little Miss Ella and the
twins.
1t was very hard for a little girl
to keep her feet down decorously, on
the platform this morning, as a per-
son old enough to travel all the way
to Pennington, should. The feet
wanted to skip and dance and hippe-
ty-hop dreadfully but their owner just
had to make them behave.
We heard from Pennington this
morning by wireless, the message
stating that the twins arose at an
unearthly hour, and in order to keep
peace in their family repaired to the
orchard, where they INDUCED in war
and bear dances for good part of
the morning just for their own peace
of mind. Even then they went to
the train an hour and half ahead of
time.

ON GROUNDS OF SELF
DEFENSE

TELLURIDE, Colo, June 27.-Yes-
terday morning the people in the vi
cinity of Ophir, Colo, were startled by
the news that Charles Turner, aged 25,
had been shot and killed by Frank
Ensign, aged 40, both being residents
of that vicinity.
From the evidence brought out at
the coroner's inquest last night it ap-
peared that there had been stand
ing quarrels between the two men for
some two years over some mining
property. Ensign is a partner of
Davy Brown, prominent mining man
of that section, and Turner is neph-
ew of Browns. 1t was claimed that
Turner was continually nagging at
Ensign, making threats and annoy
ing him in every possible way.
Yesterday morning while Ensign
was in the postoffice at Ophir, Charles
Turner walked into the office. Ensign
in order to avoid trouble walked out
side. Turner followed him, threatg.-
ing him and among other things said
he would get him, advancing on him
rapidly. Ensign drew 80 calibre re
volver and fired twice at Turner to
frighten him back, but he did not
frighten and continued to advance on
Ensign who fired two more shots al
close range, one of which took eff
feet, the bullet entering the left side
of Turner's body, passing through the
heart and on through the body, lodg-
ing in his clothing. Even this did
not stop Turner, who was a big, husky
man. He continued to advance upon
Ensign, a small man, attacking him.
turner threw Ensign t3wn, tool, his
revolver from him and vas abcut 10
use it on him when he suddenly eX-
pired. His power of endurance was
something remarkable, retaining his
vitality some time after bullet lad
passed through his heart,
The coroner's jury found that En-
sign had fired the bullet, that had kill
ed Turner, without felonious irtent
and theteupon Ensign was released
frcm the custody of the law.
Public sentiment seems to be al in
favor OF Ensign. Remarks are made
upon every hand that ne was just,-
fable il taking the life of Turner and
the coroner's jury took the same view
Uf me matter.

]. S. ID. HOPKINS PASSES AWAY
AT HIS ANIMAS HOME AFT
Err LINGERING ILLNESS

La Plata county lost one of her most
respected citizens yesterday afternoon,
when j. S. ID. Hopkins passed away i,
his home in the Animas valley, after a
long and valiant battle with disease.
Mr.. Hopkins was very well known
throughout the county through his
business associations. For many
years he was in business at Hesperus,
being member of the general mer-
chandise firm of Hopkins & Bailey.
Several years ago he purchased the
ranch in the Animas valley at Her
mosa, where he resided at the time
of his death.
Some years ago Mr.. Hopkins served
the county in the capacity of assessor,
filling the position with efficiency and
giving general satisfaction. He wa
a kindly man with considerable talent
along certain lines, and was a splendid
conversationalist.
There are many people in Durango
and La Plata county who will learn
the news of his death with regret and
to the smaller circle of those who
knew him intimately, his passing vii
be an occasion for sorrow, and oi
sympathy to the family he has left
behind.
Besides his wife and son, De Wayne
Mr. Hopkins is survived by two step
daughters and a stepson, Mrs. Clar
ence Lynch, Miss Ethel Backinger anC
Paul Backinger.
The funeral will take place on Sun
day at 1920 from the family resi-
dence at Hermosa. Interment will b,
in Greenmount, the Masons having
charge of the service at the grave.

MURRAY! PROF. HYSLOP
FINDS ANOTHER SplRIT

Professor j. II. Hyslop, who pre-
sents the anomaly of a man of sup
posed scientific attainments complete
ly enmashed in claptrap of spiritual
asm, has sprung another surprise upon
an unsuspecting and long suffering
public. Ever since the death of Prof.
William James of Harvard university
Prof. Hyslop has ben tryleng to get
in communication with the spirit of
Professor James through the inter
vention of mediums. He held large
number of seances, the records of
which would furnish material for
score of the most farcicai vaudeville
skits, but he never succeeded in clear
ly establishing the identity of tie
spirit" communicating with him as
that of his learned colleague The
other day Prof. Hyslop came out with
the startling announcement that, while
continuing his still-hunt for the spir-
it of Prof. James he ran across a
spirit who claimed to be that of the
late Carroll D. Wright, who was Unit
ed States commissioner of labor from
1885 to 1905. Prof. Hyslop had not
known Mr.. Wright while the latter
was among the living and he found it
a trifle difficult to establish the iden-
tity of the spirit. lad all that hap
pened in the year 1912 A. D., not B. C.

AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS-.

All the efforts that have been made
in the last decade to give the United
States system of public roads equal
to the one possessed by France will
come to a focus in Atlantic City from
Sept 30 to Oct. 5, when the Amer;-
can Road congress holds its first an
nual session.
The American Road congress will
mark the consolidation of the con-
ventions of forty of the most import
ant road organizations in the United
States including the American Asso-
citation for Highway Improvement and
the American Automobile association.
President Taft is the honorary presi-
dent of the congress, which has for
its active president, Director Page and
for its treasurer, Lee McClung, treas
urer of the United States.
The National Association of Road
Machinery and Material Manufactur-
ers has voted to hold its exposition of
materials and equipment in conjunc-
tion with the congress. Among the
members of the manufacturers as
sociation are many of the largest
manufacturing companies in the
world. Every industry relating to
the building and care of roads and
bridges will be represented, and it will
be possible for the road builders and
road users to acquaint themselves full

The Tenbroeck properties, owned by

for several days. They are jubilant

Extensive supplies are being taken

where rushing work is going on.
The first shipment of ore has just
been made from the Lucky Moon prop
erty which two years ago sold for
$4,000.
Mr.. Bradley spoke very highly of
the La Platas and suggested that the
prospects are very favorable for a
big mining camp there. He said that
there was much prospecting, devel-
oping and shipping of ore and that all
felt very much interested in the out,

Mayor of Steamboat Springs
BURTON OUT FOR OFFICE.

For some time it has been under
stood that j. X. Burton would be the
Democratic candidate for representa-
tive in the legislature from Saline
county and this morning the rumors
were confirmed by the filing of his
petitions with the county clerk. So
far as is known, he is the only per-
son asking for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket and if any other
candidate aspires to the place, the
circulation of his petitions has at
tracted no attention from the public.
The nomination of Burton by the
Democratic party will bring the vo-
ters of the county face to face with
the issue of whether they wish to have
man represent them who has been
entrusted with an honor by the peo-
pie of his state and who proved faith
less to the truth; whether they de-
sire man for their representative
who was accorded the highest politi-
cal office in the gift of Kansas only
W apuSS VIC PuNSi anu piihS ulh-
grace upon the state he represented; !;
whether they wish to be represented
by man who as United States sen
ator used his influence in manner
that is directly in violation of federal
statutes and who as consequence
was tried and convicted, the judg-
ment of the lower court being affirm
ed by the United States supreme
court; whether they care to take up
a man whose sentence included not
only term in Jail and the depriva-
tion from holding any office under the
federal government as well.
The Journal has been loath to be-
lieve that man with such pub
lie record would aspire again to office
or that the Democratic party in this
county should take him up and name
him as the representative of the
party; but even if that party should
nominate him, the voters as whole
owe it to themselves to see that his
defeat in November is overwhelming.

Manager Bradley will proceed to Sc
cure the necessary information re-
garding the geological information of
the La Plata mountains and the vari-
Gus specimens of ore to be found in

LET THE FARMER CONTROL.

] am glad to see philaHthropists,
business men, bankers and politicians
so interested in promoting better
farming. But | don't want them to
farm the farmers" says Herbert My
rick, editor in chief of Farm and
Home. 1t looks like we were going
to have a new craze along this line
Certain interests that have so long
manipulated banking and currency to
their own advantage are now suspl-
ciously solicitous for the poor farmer
They would like nothing better thar
to get control of the cooperative farm
finance which | am trying to introduce
among our farmers, based upon the
methods which have been so success
full among the cooperative land-mort-
gage banks and rural credit unions in
Europe.
Now, we all rejoice at the money
time and brains that are being giver
in aid of better farming and more
practical education in school, on the
farm and in the home. But the farm.
ers must control this thing. 1t must
come up from the farmer, instead Of
being carried down to him. 1t is what
you accomplish for yourself that bene
fits you, not what is given you.
The North Dakota better farming
association is doing about right. 1t il
composed of both farmers, busines!
men and donors. 1t employs experts
who go to the farms of it's member!
and help them to farm it more scien
tifically. A bunch of New Jerse!
farmers do still better, by themselve,
putting up the money to pay an eX
pert. National, state and private aiC
is needed to support the teaching fore,
required to instruct young and ole il
scientific management of farm, mar
ket and home, but the efficiency o
this effort will depend upon the ex
tent to which we ordinary folks tax,
hold of it, apply the better method
and run the organization which ad
ministers them.
Let not the furore for demonstra
tion farming result in farming th
farmer" worse than ever.

ANALYSIS OLE YOTE-

A careful analysis of the vote in
the Democratic national convention at
Baltimore on Parker and Bryan for
temporary chairman reveals some very
significant conditions with reference
to sectional interests.
1t will be noticed that Bryan carried
but one southern state east of the
Mississippi and that state was South
Carolina in which he received the
solid vote. 1t will be further noticed
that he carried but two of the New
England states. Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire by small majorities.
The north central states were well
divided between Bryan and Parker.
The most striking feature of the vote
was that but one state west of the
Mississippi voted its solid delegation
against Bryan and that was the state
Ct Arkansas and that but two other
states west of the Mississippi gave a
majority of their delegates to Parker.
those two states were Missouri and
California. 1t is to be presumed that
the influence of Clark held these three
states from Bryan. 1t will be no.
ueed that the states of Iowa, Colo
rado, Louisiana and Utah divided their
votes equally between the two men,
The conclusion is that the Democracy
of the south is conservative along
with New England, that the north
central states east of the Mississippi
are well divided, and that the terri. |
tory west of the Big Muddy, both
north aid south, is essentially pro- /
gressive.

Lord, Deliver Us From Fool Friends


If certain well-meaning but mistak-
en- individuals would learn to mind
their own business, and stop suggest
ing to bachelors more or less suscepti-
Bile, that this or that unmarried wom-
an is Interested in him, the path of
women in public life, engaged in max
ing an honorable living, would be
much easier.
Men and women, who serve the pub
lie, learn early in their career, that
II they are able to achieve perfect
courtesy to every one, without re-
srect to position or rank in the social
scale, it is an important factor in their
success. Sometimes, courteous mar.
ner, that expresses a touch of friend
illness, is taken to mean personal
interest in the individual addressed,
when nothing of the kind was intend
ed, and occasionally, results in chagrin
to the party of the second part, when
he learns otherwise.
This is not nearly so likely to hap
pen unless some one of the above
fool" friends butts in with his inane
suggestions. When a woman is re-
ally interested in a man, he is pretty
sure to find it out sooner or later,
without the assistance of outsiders.
