Mrs. Y C. Salabar, mother of Coun-
ty Superintendent Miss Salabar, is
suffering with a broken wrist, the
result of being thrown to the ground
with terrible force when the horse
she was riding stumbled and fell. The
accident occurred Wednesday. She
was brought to Durango by auto yes
terday and the injured member given
further medical attention. Today she
is resting fairly comfortable.
George Sponsel and little daughter
Irene returned to Thompson's park
this morning. Mrs. Sponsel will re-
main in town with the son who was
so painfully injured last Sunday. The
most encouraging news continues to
come from the lads bedside. If no
complications result DR.. Ochsner
states he will be able to sit up inside
of couple of days This is a most
gratifying report to the parents, who
only three days ago had abandoned all
hope for his recovery.
Mrs. c. f. Dudley arrived in Du-
range last night after an absence Of
two years duration, and the captain
&c correspondngly happy. She start
ed out to look after mining Interests
and her route lay in such out of tie
way places and the length of her stay |
was so uncertain that her husband de- |
cided not to follow in her wake. Her
have been many and va
ried. Down in Arizona, miles from
the railroad, she has some excellent
copper prospects, which bid fair to
bring her wealth in plenty, when
slump went the copper market and
along with it her immediate hopes of
realizing on the properties. She still
holds them, awaiting better condi-
tions. Hearing wonderfully glowing
tales of the prosperity of Mexico In
the vicinity Of the nations capital,
she iourneyed down there. She found
the country delightful in every re-
spect and one where fortunes seemed
awaiting energetic white folk. just
as she was about persuaded that ma
ture had bonanza there for her, the
Mexican troubles began and people |
who looked to the United States for
protection were ordered out. She
boarded train on which hundreds OF
her fellow countrymen were passen-
gers and few days later landed in
southern California. There deluge
of exciting commercial experiences
was her portion. Whether she will
remain in this section again remains
to be seen. Probably if she can per-
suade the captain to become a victim
of wanderlust, we will note their de-
parture before another six months
elapse.

Mrs. James Frink passed away at
her home in Mancos yesterday after
noon at $3.50. For weeks sne suf-
fered the most excruciating pain with
that dreaded disease, spinal meuingi-
tis. Mrs. Frink was one Of the most
beautiful mothers we have evec known.
Five children came to the home, and
few indeed have ever been as care
fully nurtured. Anything for their
welfare, no matter what deprivation
it might represent to the mother, was
only pleasure to her. To hec h'.s-
band she was an ideal helpmeeC and
COMPANION. But with all she found
time for her friends. The F.Inl' home
was one where true hospitality was
ever dispensed the part that made
the guest feel that he shared part
of the family lfe, instead of enter
tainment prepared just for the occa-
sion. One who discharged all obli-
cations of life, whether as wife,
mother, sister, daughter and friend
leaves to her loved ones a beautiful
heritage of memory, which will ever
live in their hearts.

POLICE HALT
CHILLING Of
CONLEY
Detective Bent on Questioning
Negro Is Barred From Cell
by Chief Lanford,

With Pinkerton detectives taking
the trail in search of w. H. Mincey.
whose startling accusations against
Jim Conley stirred the police depart
ment and won the negro another
sweating from Solicitor Dorsey, the
Mincey affidavit Friday became the
storm center about which the prose-
cution and defense in the Frank case
waged their battle.
Despite the degree OF Indifference
with which the detectives and prose-
cutting officials affected to look upon
the remarkable statements OF Mincey,
it became known Friday that every
effort was being bent toward locating
him and turning the light on his past
history.
.--a Pinkertons Have cicw.
1t is understood that the Pinkertons
have obtained information of Min
cey's whereabouts as 1t has been
known since The Georgian published
it's exclusive story Of the affidavit and
later Mincey's detailed account OF the
significant happenings on the day Of
the murder that he was teaching
school in North Georgia.
Although Solicitor Dorsey processes
to be not greatly concerned over the
effect that the Mincey affidavit may
have in his case against Leo M
Frank, 1t Is reported that his Office is
gathering character witnesses for an
attack on Mincey's credibility
Developments since the publication
of the affidavit indicate that the pros
ecution feels it must absolutely dis
credit Mincey and his story If there
is to be any hope of obtaining a con-
viction aaginst Frank.
Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective,
was denied permission to talk with

that Scott has been working in en-
tire harmony with the city detective
department up to this time, this in
cident led to the rumor that Scott
had changed his theory of the crime
and was inclined to place the re-
sponsibility upon Conley.
Defense Ready for Trial.
Scott refused to say to what ex-
tent his theories had been altered
If at all Chief of Detectives Lanford
explained that he had full confidence
in Scott. but that the Pinkerton was
in the position where he had to re-
port all of his findings to the defense

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, July 18.-The Standard
prints an editorial on Politicians and
Their Pay this morning. in which 1t
refers TO the statement of William
Jennings Bryan, the American Secre-
tary of State, that he can not live on
his salary of $4,000 a year. The
Standard says:
THE poor mans champion has dis
covered that he can not subsist sat
lsfactorily on $4,000 year. A good
many people in a good many coun-
tries manage to be comfortable on
less than that amount, but since Mr..
Bryan first took up socialism as a
profession he has done well on the
lecture platform.
He has been making $4,000 every
year by denouncing the idle rich. If
the Union can not pay the same scale
he proposes to increase his emolu-
ments by private exertions, so he will
go on tour again"

Colonel Anderson, who had raped
several times for order. stepped be-
tween ths attcn ney and the witness
jl.l as tie later got from his seat

The Crawford heirs-at-law got to
their feet and rushed to aid their at
