sTfs.s HUNT.

There ono condition that has
resulted from the new system OF
nominations at that is the impossi-
bility to get any one to venture an
assertion or even make guess as to
who will be the winners in the coun-
ty. If you approach any one on that
subject he politely informs you that
he has no idea Of what the people
mean to do at the primaries.
With the local candidates IL is q
still hunt. The newspapers arc for
most part put out OF busincJ, and
are making no choice as to the per-
sons who should be supported at the
primaries for local offices. OF course
this is done for the purpose OF party
harmony. They realize that to make
fight against person in the pm
mary may bring the undesirable con-
dition Of having to support that same
person for the election after hav-
ing furnished the opposition with
ammunition to be used ag inst ttem.
1t would appear that the prin.sr-
ier will do away in measure with
tnc litter fights that follow conven-
tons If the old system. Under the
new sy.t.m If a candi ln'e is defeat
ed he can. have the Sd .isfaction Of
knowing to a certainty that he was
not the choice of his party and he
should ordinary be satisfied.

DIVIDED ON THE TARIFF.

The Democratic newspapers of Tx
state are not together on the prope
sition of the tariff. Some are II
favor of the actions of Congressman
Martin and Taylor in voting againsi
the placing of sugar and certain ores
on the free list. Others are in favS,
of going down the line for a genera
free trade measure including sug&i
and ores.
1t is true that the consumers pI
sugar would be benefited directly
but it is question about the INDIRECT
results of placing sugar on the free
list
The sugar industry in Colorado Is
in its infancy and this action of coh
gress would cripple an dmight injure
the sugar beet industry in the stats
Every where in the United Statss
where sugar beets are raised there Is
almost unanimous opinion that free
sugar would be detrimental to the
sugar sections.
This will be matter Of much conA
cern to the beet growers and will
cause intense feeling against the par
ty that undertakes to cripple the in
dustry in the several states where the
beets are raised 1t is up 70 the par-
ty to pass the free trade bill if 1t
succeeds at the November election. 4

FATAL AUTO WRECK
IN BOULDER CANON
One Killed and -Four Seriously Injured When Auto
P|ungeS Down the Embanknent- Parties
Travelling Is to 30 Miles an Hour
Western Press.

Western Press.
BOULDER, Aug. 2s.-Miss Mae
Ripley, 90, of Kansas City, Mo-, was
killed, her sister, Miss Barbara Rip
ley, and Mrs. r. II. Accord, Miss Ber-
tina Tuttle and Ralph Reed, also of
Kansas City were injured when the
automobile in which they were driv-
ing to Boulder last night plunged 80
feet down an embankment in south
Boulder canon and turned over. Miss
Mae Ripley died at the university
hospital this morning. Miss Barbara
Ripley and Miss Tuttle are badly cut
about the head and face and have
many bruises. Mrs. Accord is the
least injured. Reed was badly shak
en- up. The accident was due to the
high rate of speed that Reed was
driving the machine at along the mar
row and highly curved road through
the canon. This road, at many points,
is barely vide enough for an auto and
becomes doubly dangerous if any one
attempts to travel faster than a few
miles an hour.
Reed was driving the machine at
rs to 35 miles an hour. He approach
ed a sharp curve mile up the canon
from Boulder at this high rate of
speed and was suddenly confronted
by machine driven by DR.. Overfeldt
of Boulder going in the opposite di-
rection. Overfeldt swerved his ma
chine to the right, taking the wall
side of the canon. Reed was forced
to take the embanltment side and
was unable to stop his car in time,
although he applied the brakes.
Reeds car plunged down the en-
bankment turning over three times
before it reached the creek. At the
first revolution of the car the oc-
cupants were thrown out, else all may
have been killed instantly. The ma
chine landed bottom side up in two
feet of water.

YOUNG SON OF DIR. AND MRS.
SEIBERT PASSES AWAY

Shortly before 10 o'clock last ev-
ening the Death Angel came and
claimed the 15-months-old child of
DR.. and Mrs. Seibert Of st. Louis.
Early this summer Mrs.
Seibert, nee Mona Russell, and the
little boy arrived here to spend the
season with the local members of
the family. The interesting and
merry little fellow not only won the
hearts of his relatives but every one
who saw him.
A few days ago he contracted a
severe cold which rapidly developed
into pneumonia. Every thing that
medical skill could do was done but
in vain. He passed away just two
days after his father who had been
notified by wire Of his condition
reached his bedside.
The childr was christened Russell
Benjamin in honor of his distinguish
ed grandfather and his prominent
uncle. He gave promise of having
the clever gifts for which other men,
bers of the family are famed. Today
the hearts bowed down not only miss
the life that was more than their
own to then but the dead hopes is a
part of their burdens.
The sympathy of every parent and
every child lover in Durango goes
out to the sorrowing ones and
with it the silent prayer that the
Great Comforter may lend his pres
ence to them.
Tomorrow DR.. and Mrs. Seibert
and Mrs Seibert's brother, B. Russell
leave for st. Louis with the remains
where interrment will take place.

COURT OFFICERS MAY LITI-
GATE.

The people of the state of Colo.
rado have been criticising severely
the politicians of Denver for con
s;antly engaging in the legal bust
ress as means of determining their
selfish interests, but now the worst
has come and the court officers are
about to engage in lit CATION.
Recently Judge Shattuck called a
grand jury for purpose of probing
conditions politically and otherwise
in the city of Denver. The district
attorney is presumed to conduct those
Investigations, but the judge decided
that perhaps the district attorneys
office may need to be locked after By
the grand jury, so re appointed an
other attorney to act in the place of
the district attorney.
This action on the par of the high
officer of the court did not meet ap-
proval of the prosecuting attorney,
who argued that he could not be de-
prived of his official position with
out charges being preferred He in
sisted that no reason had been given
why he should not act before the
grand jury except those given by the
newspapers.
Judge Shattuck decided that Ell
liott, the district attorney, must
leave the room where the grand jury
is to do its work, whercupon The
excluded attorney threatened to take
the matter TO the supreme court and
test Shattuck's ruling.

NEW CASTLE, Del, Aug. 2S-The
suburb of Dobbinsville, near here,
was terror stricken following the
shooting up of the town by mem
bers of the eighty-first artillery. Sew
eral soldiers engaged in rifle practice
at the state rifle range, just south of
this city, were worsted in dispute
with some young men who reside in
Dobbinsville. Desiring revenge the
soldiers, armed with heavy bore ri
files, started to shoot up the town.
The citizens crawled under beds, hid
in closets, fled in terror to their eel
lars when the shooting commenced.
For more than 20 minutes the fulli-
sade of lead continued. Bullets
crashed through windows, glanced
from the sides of dwellings and sung
by the heads of the stray wanderers.
Fully 100 shots were fired.
Twenty men are reported to have
taken part in the fight.
The main point OF attack seemed
to be house on Clark street, occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. Mohr, and their
four children. Nearly every window
was shot from this house and SO hot
was the fullisade that bricks were
shot from their fastenings on the
window ledge. Mohr appeared at
a window and implored the soldiers to
withraw, but shots aimed directly at
him caused him to retire in haste.
Other citizens who mustered up
courage enough to shout from their
windows got similar reception.
