ALLEGED BooTLEGGER
is ACQUITTED

Red Gift, Colo, March 14.-Sheri
dan Miller of Basalt, proprietor of a
"soft drink parlor, was acquitted
yesterday o nhis second trial on II
charge of bootlegging before Mrs. b.
l.. Tague, judge of the Eagle county
court. The jurq was out seven hours.
Miller was tried Monday for selling
beer and other Intoxicating liquors il
legally. The jury, which included four
women, disagreed, two of the women
holding out for conviction. Before
Miller's second trial, which was held
yesterday, his attorney moved for a
change of venue, fearing several wo-
men who had been empanneled might
be selected as jurors, and pleading that
their strong views on the liquor traf-
fic would be adverse to his client.
The motion was denied by Judge
Tague. Miller uttered sigh of re-
lief when an all-men jury was named
to try him and when the latter re
turned verdict of acquittal.

Local Girls Defeated by "Honeydips''
but Our Boys Have Aspen Team
Easily 0utc|assed
BOTH GAMES ARE INTERESTING

Guess that was some game last Fri
day evening when the high school boys
and girls met the Aspen teams on the
floor of the local gym and-lost and
won.
The crowd was the largest that ever
gathered in the local gym to witness Il
game. The girls game was playei
first and was rather commonplace SO
far as any brilliant plays were con
eerned. Our girls played with good
courage and did their best but they
were Outclassed by the visitors and at
the end of the first half the score
stood Aspen to Glenwood 3 while at
the close of the game the score was II
to in favor of Aspen.
Thus the championship goes to the
Honeydips' who We're too large for
our girls, but despite the handicap oil
size the local girls put up good game.
Miss Tuttle was referee in the first
malt and superintendent j. Ii. Adams
of Aspen in the second half of the
game.
The lineup was as follows:
Glenwood-Vera Dobson, c.: Gladys
Robertson, r. c.; Nellie Witteman and
Pearl White, guards; Bernice Hubbard
and Marguerite Pings, forwards.
Aspen-Adams and Wheeler, for
wards; Clark, R. c.; Ebler, 5. C:
White and Wall, guards.
In the boys game there was some
thing doing every minute The game
was intensely interesting from the
very start, despite the large score
which might indicate otherwise. Soon
after the game started it became ev,-
dent to the spectators that the Glen

wood boys were too fast for their op-
ponents, the team work of the locals
being well nigh perfect. Demersch-
man at center proved star while the
work of Noonan and Maupin was ex-
cellent. In fact all the boys played
the game from start to finish.
Peterson, Aspen's mainstay, had
been sick and was obliged to keep out
of the game on that account, but h,
was put in during the last half in the
hope that he might possibly retrieve
on the severe drubbing the Aspens hal
received up to this time, but with the
aid of Peterson they could not over
come the great lead which our boys
had already piled up against them. The
score stood ~ to 9 at the end of the
first half and the final score was So
to 30 in favor of Glenwood
H. Burch and Geo. H. Bell were the
timekeepers and c. II. Miller refereed
the first half ana w. II. Mcdonald the
second half of this game. NJ. j.
Mayes and Mrs. Mcdonald were the
score keepers in both games.
The lineup was as follows.
Glenwood-W. Noonan and A. Maup-
in, towards; Demerschman, center; j.

AT WHAT AGE IS A
WOMAN MOST INTERESTING

New York, March 13.-The follow
ing exceedingly interesting commen.
on woman's age was made by the
Countess of Warwick in an interview
here yesterday:
eyes, at SO, as 1 am today, find
myself more filed with interest,"" she
said. 81 find myself more interesting
to myself and to others than 1 have
at any other age. Women under 80
are only occasionally interesting and
worth while; but any woman over 80
has some personal, tangible interest. 1t
comes from sorrows, joys, experiences
what you will-but is obviously
there.
To-day it is not the young, but the
men and women who are in their 4Os,
who are in the vanguard of the great
army of progress and endeavor. Had
l the power, 1 would forever abolish
the calendar and mark time by effort
and age by the mental youthfulness of
the individual" said the countess
spiritedly.
"Why should not man at 40 and
80 and so, and woman as well, be at
their best usefulnesss Why shouldn't.
they be at their greatest beauty?
Youth has its own particular beauty.
and so has middle age, and so has the
autumn time of life, just as the sea
sons have in nature.
"The modern woman as a successful
business or professional one finds that
she cannot neglect her beauty, and
she expresses herself largely in her
Clothes" continued the countess. "Tn
other words, there must be much
thought spent upon the art of dressing
to ones best advantage, but once that
question is settled, no more thought
should be given to it.''

SUCCESS
Crowned ttibernians Pic
mic Monday at Phoenix
tIlII.

From every viewpoint success
crowned the Hibernian reunion and
picnic Monday at Phoenix Hill Park,
and the thousands who attended are
loud in praise OF the County Board
and Ancient Order. The large park
was thronged with Hibernians and
their families and friends, who spent
an evening that will be long remem-
bered. Beautiful women and
gallant men, mothers and daughters,
fathers and sons, old and young,
happily mingled and had hearty
greetings and handshakes for one
and all. While the band played and
the young people danced their elders
spent the hour with "reminiscences of
the long ago, and the few remaining
pioneers of the order were satisfied
that its standard was being borne
aloft and maintained in accordance
with its grand motto. Every officer
and member of the County Board
rendered valuable assistance and
left nothing undone that would add
to the pleasure of the occasion,
which reflects highest credit on our
Irish and Irish-American Catholic
citizens. A grander gathering was
never seen at Phoenix Hill, and
therefore hundreds are urging the
County Board to have another such
reunion when the State convention is
held here in August.

AMERICANS
Impressed by Brighter APP
pearance of Agricuft-
uraI Ireland.

Father Denis o. Crowley, Father
Timothy Crowley and p. ]. Garland.
of San Francisco, are just now tour-
ing in Ireland, revisiting the district
of their family connections. They
are impressed by the brighter ap-
pearance of agricultural ireland.
Father Denis o. Crowley has asso-
Citations with Berehaven, County
Cork; Father Timothy Crowley with
the Burkes, of Galway, and Garland
with Kells, County Meath. Twenty
years OF So" said Father Denis,
have made a world of difference
compared with the bad old times.
The change in the land system has
given the farmer an incentive for
and industry, and the
result has worked wonders on the
face of the land. The schools have
visited have proved to me that the
condition of the homes the children
come from, even the poorest, has
been bettered almost beyond
teen years ago. What then will the
progress be when home rule comes,
as it must, in the present march of
opinion? Only then can
England expect a full treaty of peace
with the American people, whose
strain of Irish blood is perhaps the
most vigorous in the land" This
vacation tour will end with this
month. Just now the trio are in the
North, studying Ulster conditions.

County Board, A. o. r.,
Much Enthnsed Over
Success of Picnic.

The County Board, A. o. H., of
Jefferson county, held special
meeting Wednesday evening in Ber-
trand Hall to dispose of all business
pertaining to the picnic given at
Phoenix Hill Park, and the delegates
from the different divisions were in
clined to pat themselves on the back
on the success of the picnic, not only
from a financial standpoint but more
so from the splendid appearance of
the large crowd present, everyone
also seeming to have the time of his
or her life. Martin J. Cusick, Presi-
dent of Division 1, stated that it was
the handsomest crowd of the fem
mime gender he had ever seen gath
cred together at an Irish or Irish
American affair in his long career as
a Hibernian, while Thomas Lynch,
John Hession and Charles Finnegan
told of different phases of the pic
mic which redounded to the credit OF
the A. o. H., all agreeing that for
general good time, and where there
is nothing but friendship and good
cheer, a Hibernian affair takes first
rank. The board decided to send
County President Thomas Dolan to
the national convention of the A. o.
H., which takes place at Chicago,
beginning Tuesday, July 16, and
President Dolan, in company with
State Secretary w. ]. Connolly, NJ. ].
Cusick, Thomas Lynch and others,
will leave here Sunday, July IA. The
board adjourned to meet Friday,

PROTESTANT
Dectaratin That irish Cath

Grant.

That the Orange cry that with
homo rule the Irish Catholics would
be intolerant of their Protestant
fellow-countrymen is without cause
or reason is demonstrated by the
Louth County Council, which re-
Gently reelected Justice w. A..
Doran, a Protestant, to the Vice
Chairmanship. In acknowledging
the honor conferred Councillor
Doran said
ION my first attendance here
many years ago-the Chairman re-
ferred to home rule, and said he de-
sired and we all desired it, not for
the purpose of prosecuting our
Protestant ellow-countrymen, but
for the betterment of the country.
thought at the time that that was
perfectly obvious, but it is no harm
to emphasize it here today. l came
among you-the only Protestant on
your board-and you gave me a
warm greeting. We found that we
could work together in a friendly
manner, and any person who says
that Protestants have been perse-
cuted or will be prosecuted in the
future under self-government, which
thank God is close at hand, is a man
who is wilfully blind to history and
wilfully blind to the facts existing
in our modern Irish ireland. Anyone
who attempts to examine the ques-
tion with unbiased mind is bound
and I as a Protestant am bound-to
sorrowfully confess that the intol-
erance is not in the South. / am
sorry to say that among my corelig-
ionists in the North there is at pres
ent great deal of what must say
is sheer ignorance on this matter. 1t
is really ignorance which is at the
root of it. They have been as 1t
were shut out from the tide OF mod
ern life, and too much concerned In
their own individual interests. They
talk of fighting, but l can tell them
that under home rule we are going
to do them a lot of good. We win
take them out of themselves. No
matter what they say, they will send
their members down to Dublin, who
will mix with other Irishmen. They
will begin shortly. to see that our

That feeling of one and all for our
common country will grow steadily
I am convinced, in spite of the ef-
forts of lawyers in the making"
