A Few Remarks With Regard To the

Now that the carnival is over. I will
say that the committee deserves the
greatest credit that can be given to
them for producing such a gratifying
series of displays in the short time at
their disposal. The Denver Theatrical
Protective Union are feeling rather
proud in the fact that two floats in the
first days parade. built by members OF
that union were awarded first and third
prizes. l refer to the Denver Dry Goods
Co.'S float, built under the supervision
of Mr.. Ed Gee, also the float advertising
the virtues of Labor Lite Soap" built
by Ellis Graham of the Broadway the
ater The stage employees Of this city
have demonstrated the fact that they
can build as good II not better floats
than any other firm or corporation in
this United States, and we hope, with
the assistance OF the committee in
charge, to build every float In next
years parade. which will be tribute
to home industry, and will also disprove
that old fallacy THAT prophet is with

JUDGE JOHN CAMPBELL.
Candidate for Reelection on RepubIica
Ticket As Justice of the
Supreme Court.

IICkct AS d JUSTICE OF tne
Supreme Court.
Chief Justice John Campbell is a can
didate on the Republican ticket to sue
ceed himself He has been on the Su-
preme court bench of the state of Colo
RADIO for a number of years, and during
that time has made many friends whs
desire to see him returned to the high
office he now holds.
Many of the decisions of Justice
Campbell have been made notable, but
probably that which commends him II
the people more than any other is his
opinion unfolding the initiative and ref
erendum amendment which was de-
clared unconstitutional by District Judge
Riddle a few weeks ago. In this famous
case, which was brought by the corpor-
ate interests to defeat the will of the
people, Judge Campbell wrote the opin-
ion. He declared in the opinion that
the position taken by Judge Riddle was
untenable, and said that the referendum
amendment was legally passed and pub
lished by Secretary of State Pearce.
Many other famous decisions might
be sighted, but this is sufficient to show
the attitude of Justice Campbell toward
good legislation.
Judge Campbell is an honorary mem
ber of the Typographical union, and he
is proud to tell of his connection with
that organization many years ago.

JAMES H. TELLER.
The Fairness and ImpartiaIity of One
District Judge Will Assure His
Election.

James H. Teller, candidate for dis
trict judge was appointed by Governor
Shafroth last November to succeed the
late Judge Carlton NJ. Bliss. He is now
sitting in the criminal division in the
West Side court.
| Mr.. Teller appears to be the popular
choice for one of the judges of the dis
trict court. He has been nominated on
more than one Of the party tickets. On
account of his progressfveness and fair
ness as well as on account of his knowl-
edge of the law his election is assured.
Labor can depend upon impartiality
and fairness from James H. Teller while
he sits on the bench.
Judge Teller has been a resident of
Colorado for ten years, having practiced
law four years in Pueblo before coming
to Denver. He was educated at Cornell
University and Oberlin College, graduat-
ing from the latter institution in 1874.
He was admitted to the bar in Cleve-
land, Ohio, in 1876, and entered upon
the practice of law in that city. In 1883
he was appointed secretary of the terri
tory of Dakota, and served in that ca
pacity for three years. and was acting
governor of the territory for a portion
of that time. Leaving Dakota he settled
in the city of Chicago and engaged in
the practice of law, and SO continued
until he left there in 1902. He was a
Republican, of independent tendencies,
prior to 1896. In that year he was NOM
mated for congress in the First Illinois
district by the Silver Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Populists. The district was
hopelessly Republican and he was, of
course, defeated, running, however, a
thousand votes ahead of his ticket. Dur
ing the first Shafroth administration he
was first assistant attorney general in
the Office of Attorney General Rarnett

Mrs. Taylor, worn out by day and
night vigil, had gone to her apart

Death of Mrs. Carrie Hawkins Brown

lar-PerSOnal Mention.

Prosperity, April Mrs. Carrie
Hawkins Brown died at her home near
Prosperity Saturday at a. m, after a
short illness of pneumonia. She was
of lovable disposition and a mos
consecrated Christian, being mem
Der of st. Luke's Lutheran church. The
funeral services were held at the
Prosperity cemetery Sunday morning
at II o'clock by her pastor, Rev. S. P.
Koon. She leaves two brothers,
Messrs. Geo. E. and A. H Hawkins,
and a number Of other relatives and
friends to mourn her departure. Her
popularity was attested by the lovely
floral offerings brought by her many
friends.
The road between Newberry and
Prosperity has become such boule-
ward that automobiles skim over it by
the dozens these lovely spring days.
We had so many visitors from New
berry Sunday afternoon that they are
too numerous to mention. We are al
ways glad to have you. Come again.

The shouting now became contlnu-
Gus. Judge Jones managed, however,
to tell a story of a farmer who receiV-
ed a circular from a Northern res
taurant, expressing wish to purchase
frogs. The farmer wrote that he
would supply the restaurant with 1OO,-
900 frogs. He shipped only six and
when the restaurant people wanted to
know why the rest were not forthcom-
ing he answered that he had supposed
from the noise there were 100000 in
the swamp but had been able to find
only six. Judge Jones said the dis
turbers were like the frogs; though
they made great noise they were few
in number.
Still the disturbance continued. The
candidate now said he asked only for
a square deal. If his hearers differed
from him, he said, at least give him
the right to hearing. He said he
would not treat them in such a way
as governor but would give them a
respectful hearing, which was nothing
more than square deal. He had been
speaking all through the county dur
ing the last two weeks and this was
the first time he had been treated with
discourtesy, he said.
1t was only pouring water On the
wheel, he said, for he would carry
spartanburg and the State. Still wa
tiers ran deep, and it was the deep
waters which fioated the ship.

Will Die Fighting.

Uncle Sidna told me-" related the
boy with unrestrained frankness, that
he never expected to see his family
again. He hopes the detectives will
get discouraged so that he can get
away but if they keep after him I think
he will be shot killing them. He will
never surrender. He did not like it
when 1 left him. He told me I was
making a mistake, but I was tired and
hungry.
Emptied Pistol Thrice.
Uncle Sidna said he shot his pistol
empty three times. He always was an
cry with Judge Massie. He said he
shot Judge Massie and that Wesley
shot Mr.. Foster. Uncle Sidna said he
intended to get as many of the court
officers as he could. When he was
shooting the people in the street ne
really did not know he was firing at
any of the jury. He said he saw men
running and thought they needed
shooting at.
While in Mountains.
"The day after the shooting Uncle
Sidna and Cousin Wesley and went
to the mountains. Wesley had two pis-
tolls and Uncle sidna had receiver
and a shotgun. We all had plenty of
shells. We got plenty of ratfons for
while. We we're hidden under ledge
by leaves. From there we moved to
another rock and saw the officers raid
my Aunt Alberta's house.
Some of the detectives came within
fifteen or twenty yards of US. want
ed to leave, but Uncle sidna said if the
detectives came closer he would fire.
Sidna Aliens Wounds.
Uncle Sidna was shot in the arm
at the court house and the same bullet
went into his side and back. 1t is still
there. His hurts were fixed by one
of the family. No doctor saw him, SO
far as I know At daylight Monday,
Uncle Sidna got some food in sack.
We had plenty of crackers and butter
and sugar and stayed in the ivy and
laurel bushes for ten days, but with
nothing else to eat except those crack
ers. The day before yesterday de-
cided to leave and we separated. I
was just starvd out. I left them on
the mountain top, about three miles
from Piper's Gap road.
Planned Log as Breastwork.
Near where we were in the laurel
there was log we had planned to use
as breastwork in case of attack"
Friel disclaimed knowledge Of the
part Claude Allen took in the shoot
ing, and denied knowledge of the activ-
tiles of Sidna Edwards, Victor Allen
and Bud Marion, now in jail at Roam
oke.
Both Friel and his cousin, Claude,
probably will leave here during the
night or at daybreak for Galax, taking
the noon train tomorrow, there, for
Roanoke, where the two prisoners will
ioin their kinsfolk already in jail.
