The most vivid history, without doubt
Is that written "on the spot" A
learned man, seated in q secluded library
surrounded by maps and records and
charts, generalizing on .'historcal ma

preparing an address on living theme;
a soldier bending over his journal by
the light of the camp fire; the explorer,
jotting down the findings of the day, as
twilight closes in-these men write his

In his Introduction, Judge Pryor says:

retrospect quite as naturally fingers on

his address ION the influence of Vir-

DEAD BODY OF MARSH NUcKoLLs
FOUND ON MOUNTAIN RANGE.

On Tuesday forenoon the body OF
Marsh Nuckolls, pioneer cattleman of
DeBeque, was found near his cabin, 20
miles out on his cabin range, by his
cowboys.
Nuckolls had been driven to the foot
of the mesa the day before by his bride
of two months, and he had started to
walk the remaining three miles to his
camp. He had been considerably in
jured two weeks previous by fall
from a horse and his heart was troub-
ling him. Over-exertion. presumably,
brought on heart failure.
Mr.. Nuckolls, aged 43, was one of
the most prominent cattlemen and
citizens of the Western Slope and was
known to all stockmen. His father
was for thirty years stock-raiser in
Mesa and Garfield counties.

CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CASES
DISPOSED OF THIS WEEK

The county court of this county en-
tered upon a jury session first of the
present week with Judge Dingman pre-
siding and several important civil and
criminal matters have been settled.
The first case demanding attention
of the court was that of Laura E. Rice
VS.. E. H. and E. N. Gets. damages
in the sum of s1730. A compromise
was effected without trial. This case,
it will doubtless be remembered,
resulted from an automobile running
into Mrs. Rice, a resident of Glenwood
Springs who was visiting relatives
here at the time, when she was pass
ing the Gets garage on Main street.
Mrs. Rice was knocked down and con-
siderably bruised, it was reported.
Another civil case on the docket
was an application for divorce by Mrs
Nora Thompson from her husband
Edward A. Thompson, both of Hotch-
kiss. Settled out of court.
The criminal docket of the court for
the current term opened Wednesday
morning with the trial of the case of
the People VS.. Andrew Fell, of Austin
charged with the illegal sale of liquor
From the evidence it was made to
appear that the accused had gone in
the beet fields to a number of German
workers and had solicited them to
buy whiskey through him. Many OF
them took two gallons each at the
rate of $500. When a sufficient num-
ber of orders had been secured, Fell
sent to Kansas City for the whiskey
by the barrel Arriving here 1t was
parceled out and Fell kept back money
enough from the mems wages to pay
for what they had. The defendant
testified that he made no profit out of
the transaction and let the men have
the whiskey for what it cost him. 1t
was shown, however, that Fell obtain
ed a premium in the shape of extra
whiskey and some beer, free of cost,
for sending in large order. with cash
in advance. This, the prosecution con
tended, as the other men were not
permitted to participate in the extra
goods sent The case was given to
the jury at 80 and at l o'clock a
verdict of rot guilty rendered.
The next case called was that
against Tony Piccone, section fore
man for the d. & r. G. Railway,
charged with violating the new stock
law by failing to preserve the entire
hides of animals killed by trains. As
this was in progress when the lnde-
