PAROLED TO ATTEND FUNERAL
OF DAD WHO SENT HIM TO JAIL
Denver, COL, Aug. 5.-"My boy is
in the state penitentiary. Will you
let him come to his fathers death?"
In these words Mrs. J. K. Kreeger,
wife of the man who had been sheriff
of Las Animas County for thirty
years, appealed to Gov. AmmOns in
telegram, hoping that the chasm be-
tween father and son which had
wrecked her life might be bTidged in
the hour of the old mans death. The
father died before the request could
be carried out, but governor today
ordered the boy taken to the funeral.
Kreeger had been sheriff for TWEEN
ty-six years.
He was known also for his ability
to catch desperadoes and the pioneer
history of the state is full of his dar-
ing captures. But there was band
of highway robbers that had OUtwit-
ted him. Finally one night he took
them unawares and caught the lead
er. 1t was his own son. The old man
was deaf to the boys appeals. He
brought him back to Trinidad and
locked him up in Jail. He kept him
there during the trial and, when he
was convicted, personally hand-cuff-
ed him and took him to the peniten-
tiary. The writing of the boys name
by the mother, in her telegram to
the governor, was the first time it
had been written or uttered in the
boys home since the night of his
arrest.

THORNTON DIDN'T GET AWAY.
WITH "PoWER OF THE PRESS
William Thornton, a delivery
wagon driver for the Chicago Exam
liner, has a peculiar idea of the power
of the press" whatever that is. Like
many drivers of newspapers wagons,
he thought he was immune to arrest.
He has changed his opinion.
Thornton was standing at the cor
ner of SangamOn and Madison street
about o'clock this morning when
Policeman James MaIlOy of the Des-
PLANES street station happened along.
MallOy didn't like ThOTntOn's looks
and asked him what he was doing.
Thornton became peeved at a mere
copper prying into his affairs and
used language. He was arrested and
locked up in Desplaines street station.
Then the power of the press" stuff
began to work in Thornton's head.
He told MallOy, in embroidered
language, that if he was fined some
person named Bennett on the Exam
liner would have Malloy discharged.
Judge DOlan saved MallOy from the
awful vengeance of Thornton and
the mysterious Bennett by filming
Thornton one dollar this morning.

ASSESSABLE STOCKS ARE THE MEANS
OF KEEPING UP DEVELOPMENT WORK

win be enhanced. AS the cycle pro
ceeds, mining stocks become once
more desirable buys, and prosperity
results for the brokers. One of the
signs of a better stock market in the
spring is the large number of assess
ments Of the fall.
The most potent objection to as
sessable stocks is the ease with
which stockholders may be assessed
out and the control of the property
brought into a few hands. 1t is just
as easy to run the affairs Of the
companies with paid-up stock, and
which are in the same stage of de
yelopment as those where holders are
assessed out, in such a way that the
property appears worthless and liqui
dation the only relief. Under liquida
tion proceedings it is just as easy tC
squeeze out the weak members as i
is under assessment leyies. SO thii
objection applies as strongly to on
kind of stock as to the other.
The experience in Utah camps ha
made the assessable stock basis tn
favorite for mining companies.

Says the Salt Lake Mining Re
view:
Elsewhere we publish rather
lengthy list of assessments on Utah
stocks People there are who will
have nothing but paid.up stocks. Yet
the assessable stocks provide the
necessary means for the advancement
Of the mining industry
Why are so many assessments be-
ing levied at this time, and what
may be expected as a result? The
answer to the first part Of the ques-
ton is easy. Those with stock TO
sell have found that the market was
indeed unsatisfactory Money for min
ing has been scarce, when sought
through the sale of stocks. So re-
course is had to assessing the stocks
to gain the necessary capital to 60
ahead with development. Without
being able to assess, all would have
had to reorganize, and reorganiza-
ton is always expensive to the small
stakeholder
As to results, We do not need SO
much the man of nerve and push to
develop our mines. make fortune

ever after refuse to assist small
operations, as we need to have the
rank and file Of our citizens inter

The first result then, is a reviva
of interest in mines rather than II

tributions will be set at work il

tude of small mines under develoI

that the small operators contribut
as heavily to the progress of tn
state as the larger companies?
