GUILTY AS CHARGED

AS to the crime of publishing
IL family or family-circle news
paper, the Herald valves exam.
nation and pleads guilty. We
are publishing just that kind of
n paper, and one that the head of
the family need not blush for
nor be ashamed of-one that
even the half dozen have called
clean, reputable, newsy, and
bright.
AS to the crime of saying only
ples:lnt things about people, the
editor of the Herald pleads guilty
as charged.
AS to the crime of being
trailblazer, we also waive exam
ination and plead guilty. The
first man over the Kansas Colo
rado line and to locate claim in
what is now Baca county, was
the present editor Of the Spring
field Herald; also the first to
plant newspaper in this terri
tory. Yes, we plead guilty to
being Il trailblazer.
AS to the crime of living in
he soapweeds-another mans
uud, by the way which the man
ealer is chewing on, we lacked
about two miles of it while down
on the old ranch, but we suppose
that's near enough for all prac-
tical purposes, and SO we plead
guilty to that also; but we never
happened to form the habit OF
chewing on them, especially af-
Ter their having been chewed
into pulp by some other body,
and so to this Indictment we ask
the jury to turn it's attantiOn in
the direction Of our next door
neighbor.

Dear Mr.. Konllel:-
We read with interest your
letter in the Farm and Fireslde
on dry farming, and if it isn't
asking too much. would like you
to write to us.
What does land sell for close
to town!
Do you have any timber:
Is the water good, and how
deep?
Is there plenty of farm work,
and what are the wages?
One of our sons might come
out and work during the sum
mer, and then he could tell
whether he liked it or not.
How far are you from Guyman,
Oisla. have been there. and it's
Il beautiful country.
Is your country level.
If you have list of farms for
sale, you might send us that.
We are in good country
where we are, and have a nice
little home; but we would like
more land, and land here is to
high to buy.
How was your crop this year?
We have had it unusually dry
for four years.

ment land left.
l don't suppose you can raise

Yes, we still have land open t.

desperate criminal, and he was led
forth into the Jail yard, where the
moose was adjusted about his neck
and he was started on the mile and a
half torturous trip that ended when
he was swung to death from the
bridge.
Alive at Bridge.
That Culbertson was alive when, in
the early hours of the morning he
stood trembling upon the bridge, sur
rounded by the silent group of mask
ed avengers Of the murdered billions,
was proved today when an autopsy of
the remains as made by DR.. Hagen
and other physicians who testified at
the inquest.
They gave their opinion that the
trembling wretch, although probably
nearly exhausted from that terrible
trip to the scene Of his death, was in
full possession of his faculties and
that his body was riddled with bullets
as it hung, dangling from the end of
the rope strung over the bridge rail

/ Sheriff Erickson, who was overpow-
cred by the, mob and compelled to give
up Cleve Culbertson, the convicted
murder, who was later hanged from a
bridge near the city, gives the fol-
lowing story:

prisoners cell when the crowd began
to batter down the Jail door. I dress
ed hurriedly and stepped into the
main corridor Of the Jail, and began
arguing with the leader of the gang.
Get out of there or I'll blow your
head off, was the first order l got
from the gang and as they already
| had the door ready to yield to their
lbattering ram, obeyed their orders.
'They were into the Jail in mo-
ment, and completely filled the corri-
