CAPPS DENIED NEW TRIAL
PREACHER HAS LIT. TILE CHANGE TO ESCAPE
 ELECTRIC CHAIR.

Fort Smith, May 9.-Circuit Judge Hon yesterday for the second time re- fused Marion Capps, Methodist min- ister of White Bluff, this county, new trial. Capps is under sentence to hang on a charge that he burned three of his children to death by tieing them to an oil-soaked bed, according to the testi- mony that Bertha Capps, aged 15, and Ellis Capps, aged 12 survivors of the fire, gave at their fathers trial in Feb ruary.
 | Since then the children have made sworn statements that they swore falsely against their father. The court refused new trial the first time on the grounds that the jury's verdict in failing to state in what degree of mur- der the defendant was guilty, did not constitute an illegal verdict Applica- tion for second trial was made on the affidavits of the children that they

NEW EDITORS BOW
TO THE PUBLIC

The editor of the Wray Gazette,
having amassed a fortune (from a
newspaper mans point OF view) is
taking a vacation in the northwest.
He has turned the paper over to the
office devil and the town preacher,
and the two extremes of evil and of
good got their heads together and
this is what resulted:
THE sun lis shining bright this
morn. there is a verdant breeze The
editor on trip has gone, and we
are the whole cheese. This is the
chance of our young life we always
thought we could. Put in the paper
what people want and say the things
we should. So while reapers reap
and farmers farm, and 1T may rain
or not. we'll continue to print i'm this
paper the news we aint forgot. You'll
feel so good each evening when you
start out with a pail you really will
forget to swear when the COW swipes
you with her tail. Don't blame the
COW, she has heard of the Swat the
fly movement and she has joined
the vast throng of educated and re-
fined people that are waging the war
OF eXtermination against the pest)
So bring your wants to this paper,
and we'll do the best we know and
send you the sheet for whole long
year for a dollar and half throw
And we'll continue to please you with
the help of a kindly fate. And If we
do for your patience and money this
Will surely compensate. (Compen-

Thomas r. Henehan, state com
missioner of mines, paid Central a

o. his trip to Central was to hc-
quaint the mine operators and min
ers with the intention of the mineral
interests of the state in getting up
a monster parade during the Templar
Conclave in Denver next month. Mr..
Henehan is visiting every mining
county in the state and Is arranging
for each county to be represe nted
by float.
This parade will show exclusively
the mineral resources of the state
and will be intended solely as an adj
vertisement for the mineral industry.
In the parade will be represented
every branch of mining and among
the features will be trappers, placer
miners, prospectors with their bur-
ros, other prospectors, dfscoverers
Of quartz mines, three hundred bur-
ros loaded down with ore and a pack
train OF 300 mules also carrying ore.
There will be ore wagon trains,
floats representing the mineral re-
sources of all the mineral counties
of the state, floats representing the
great field for manufactures here ex-
listing and floats representing the
Pueblo steel and rolling mills.
The Mining and Metallurgical AS
sociatdon of Colorado.

The expense of this demonstra-
tion and advertising campaign is to
be bourne proportionately by each
OF the mining counties. The build
ing OF the floats will be county AFT
fairs and the counties can do their
own designing and have just what
they want.
Upon the arrival Tuesday of Mr.
Henehan, hurried meeting CT the
Chamber of Commerce was called, at
which were present the members of
the Board of County Commissioners
Mayor Cody, and numerous business
men and mine operators. Mr.. Hen
chan stated the proposition to the
gathering and all were enthusiastic
over his scheme. Financial aid is
expected from the city and county,
from the business men and the mine
operators. Mr.. Henehan left short
ly after he made the purpose of his
visit known, going from here to Idah6
Springs to consult with the citizens
Of that county. He will visit every
mining county in the state.
The scheme is now well under way

FISH FOR FISHERMEN

THE state will not furnish fry or
fingerings to any rancher who puts
up on his premises the sign, No
Fishing Allowed" says Colonel Jas.
A. Shinn, state game and fish COM
missioner.
IF people want state fish free of
cost with which to stock the streams
running through their premises" said
Mr.. Shinn, '1they will have to permit
the public to fish in such streams.
And we will see that the stream in
the immediate vicinity of the places
barred to the public is not stocked
by the state"
Many applications are daily receiv-
ed from ranchmen and farmers who
ask that fry frcm the state hatcher
les be sent to them. In the past, all
applications have been accommodate
ed irrespective OF whether they per-
init the public the fish in their prem
ises.
Colonel Shinn says the streams of
the state are for the use of the peo-
pie and Governor Ammons is a good
backer.
Along the Gunnison river. one of
the finest trout streams in THE world,
there are stretches where the ang-
Ter finds the mo fishing" sign. And
at the time the state at its own ex-
pense has matched eggs and given
thousands of dollars worth of fry to
land owners who are ready at any
time to chase fishermen out OF the
streams at the point of gun.

THE HUBERT UNWATERED.

The Hubert mine was drained this
week OF all the water in the work
ings down to the bottom of the shaft.
Inc mdne is 1850 feet deep and sew
en- months of constant pumping was
required to unwater the mine. From
l2OO to 1900 gallons day was han
died. Since pumping was commence
ed, 700 feet of drifts at the 1850, 900
feet at the 115O east and west, and
one drift 500 feet long at the 1850,
have been drained. These three
drifts have been under water for II
years. Some of the best ore ever
encountered in the mine is exposed
in the 1850 and production from this
point can be started at once. All
the drifts that have been under wat
er these many years have good pay
ore
Manager Bolsinger figures on run
ming two crosscuts, one north and
one south, to cut the veins that have
been worked in other levels. 1t will
require but two or three weeks to
clean the workings that have been
under water of the accumulated muck
and loose dirt. The ground is in
good shape and there are no caves
The days pay force will be increas-
ed and additional ground will be
available for leasers.
The Hubert is now in position to
again make the production it main
tanned years ago. In days gone by,
this was a wonderful mine and made
a fortune for number who were
then interested. There still remains
the opportunity of several more for
tunes being made from the Hubert,
and while Manager Bolsinger doesn't
care particularly to make another for
tune, still he is not averse to hav-
ing plenteous supply of the long
green.

tured her two kittens at the old

The kittens attracted wide atten-
ton among the citizens of the coun-

took them to Denver, where they will
be turned over to the park commits
sion and placed in the zoo at the
city park. The kittens are about
silk weeks old and are quite tame
for wild animals. Mr.. McFarlane
said that, with the aid of several
men, a long rope, a net, and the right
kind of trap, he believes that he
could have caught the mother cat.
Harry Feehan came up. from Den

goods, which had been stored in this

OF the picnic in Mr.. Fritz's mach
inc. Two or three trips were re-
quired to transport all the party.
J. v. Thompson camped at Toll
land during the Fourth. He says he
caught number of fish, but the
Observer man, who was also in the
park, didn't see any catch made by
Mr.. Thompson, the statement is to
be questioned. The only trouble with
Mr.. Thompson when he is fishing is
that he doesn't use the right fly, at
the right time, in the right place,
and besides, his casting is faulty.
