SIDES WITH MISS HOBBS
Az Anne Arundel Sulirsgist Gives Her
Views.

To the Editor-We see SC many
things that are not right going on,
and we hear so many people say there
is nothing we can DO about it, that it
is no wonder come people with little
energy think we just have to stand it.
am of different opinion / believe
If We have morsl eourage and logged
determination enough We can accom-
plish CREST things
The politicians in Copperfsld, Ore,
told the saloonkeepefs not to nay
any attention to Miss Fern Ho0 rs,
just trest her very politely. They
even went 40 far as to put flowers In
her room, but ] didn't read that she
paid any attention to the flowers or
acce pied. Men take notice-there are
some fine women you can't "jolly
along with flowers, candy and jewel
ry. Read what happened. The fol-
lowing is q clipping from the Asso-
ciated Press:
Copperfield, Ore, Jan. 2.-Martial
law was declared here today by Col.
Il. K Lawson, superintendent Of the
state penitentiavy. Five members
Of the Coast Artillery backed up Tire
proclamation. This action followed
demand made by Miss Fern Hobbs,
private secretary to Governor West
for the resignation of members OF
the city council and other city Off
cials who are accused of violating an
ordinance regulating saloons. When
her demand was refused the Cover
nor's representative ordered Colonel
Lawson 70 place the town under
martial law. Then she boarded a
train TO return to the State capitol.
Colonel Lawson's small force be-
gan operations by raiding the sa-
looms, of which they took charge.
The proprietors were given ultil
o'clock tomorrow afternood to ship
their bar fixtures and liquors out of
the county on penalty of confiscation.
All of the city officials were placed
under arr est and were not permitted
to communicate with attorneys.
Governor West two weeks ago
received protest signed by more
than hslf the residents OF Copper
field against the alleged law viola
tions by saloons here, one of which
was owned by the Mayor and another
by councilman. 1t was charged
that liquor was being sold to minors
and that closing hodrs were not OBJ
served.
"The Governor called on Mayor
Stewart to close the saloons and he
refused. When Sheriff Rand also re-
fused TO act, Governor West sent
Miss Hobbs TO take charge OF the sit
uation.
Three cheers for Miss Fern Hobbs
and Governor West. 1t makes no
difference what happened next; they,
at least, did their duty. We can
imagine that there was lot of bad
language used, for some men seem
tc think they pay you back if they
cali you names. would rather that
some people call me names than to
praise me. If / want to find out
what people are, | size up their
enemies That tells quick enough.
If anybody thinks my household
duties were neglected TO write this
letter, / will relieve their tender
conscience by informing them that it
was written with five-months
old baby on my lap If everything
was not finished, blame il On AL
fred Daniel (the baby on my lap).
He's tn u boss and he doesn't nave
to call people bad names TO do it,

George Vehdale, Walters new partner,

Even while Walter had been talking with
Vendale and the lawyer a letter bearing a
Swiss postmark had been handed In by

of Swiss possmark and what Sally had

to Switzerland still further agitated the
wine merchant. The letter was only a
formal one from champagne house OF

Youth Killed by
Electrical Shock

Alexander Walker, youngest son or
Postmaster r. C. Walker OF Grand
Junction and brother of Editor Walter
Walker of the Daily Sentinel in that
city, met death last Friday morning
at the home of the family as the re-
suit of a deplorable accident which
came as the result of experiments the
young man was making with electri-
city. He had just returned from a
trip to the Hannah creek country and
went into the bath room to take bath.
He had locked the door and when he
had been in the bath room for an ex-
|ceptionaf length of time his mother
became suspicious that all was not
well and called in a neighbor who
crawled through a window on the out
side of the residence and found young
Walker unconscious Medical atten-
ton was summoned at once but death
resulted shortly after their arrival.
Apparently while standing in the wa
ter the young man had made some
wire connections with small battery
and loose end had come in contact
with his bare shoulder and he had
received great voltage.

COAL CAMP AT SOMERSET
PUTTING ON NEW FRONT

Under the capable supervision Of
Robert Williams, the new superintend-
ent of the Utah Fuel company's mine
at Somerset, the little coal town at
the end of the branch is being exten-
sively improved.
A modern bungalow for the superin-
tendent is now being put up on lots
in the center of the town. Additions
are being built to the dwellings of
George McDermaid and Dave Davis
and new verandas will soon grace the
cottages of several attaches of the
mine and office. The streets are be-
ng graded, all rocks and stumps are
gradually disappearing, and it is un-
derstood that those occupying houses
on the main level of the town are
being given their choice Of setting out
and maintaining lawns and otherwise
beautifying their premises or moving
to less desirable locations.
All this will go far toward beauti-
flying Somerset. whose scenic sur
roundings are inspiring enough for the
movement now in progress. Great
credit is due Mr.. Williams for such
encouragement OF the brighten up
policy.-Paonian.

Interesting Legal
Contest in Court

One of the most interesting legal
controversies heard before the local
courts for some time, was up before
County Judge Dingman, last Monday,
concerning the estate of Ursen H
Graham, deceased, which is now in
probate. Attorneys John r. Charles
worth and C H. Stewart, represented
the administrator, George H Duke,
and Sherman & Sherman Of Montrose,
and w. r. Hinman of Hotchkiss, ap-
peared for Ed. Mitchell and Jack Ma
ternes, of Hotchkiss, and the Hotch-
kiss Fruit Exchange Company, cor
tporation, also of Hotchkiss, the res
pondents named in the proceeding.
Under an order previously made by
Judge Dingman, in probate. the admin
istrator had sold the warehouse occu-
pied by the respondents, and the lat
ter refused TO give possession. Claim
ing that they were obstructing the
administrator and the probate court,
rule was issued directed to the res
pondents to show cause, and the mat
ter was up for hearing. Mr.. Sherman
argued that the probate court was
without Jurisdiction and moved TO dis
miss. The attorneys for the estate
argued that the court had jurisdiction
for the purpose of inquiring into the
cause of the obstruction, and the mo
ton to dismiss was overruled. The
respondents declined TO plead further
and the representatives of the estate
and the heirs at law, moved for judg-
ment Judge Dingman took the mat
ter under advisement, but before judg'
ment could be rendered. the parties
got together and effected q comprom'
Use, whereby the respondents are to
retain possession of the property until
August 18th. at which time the admin
Iistrator takes possession and will con
summate the sale in accordance with
the order of the court.
The heirs at law consist of Mrs
Lucie B. Graham, the widow and hel
three children, who now reside a
IPlainwen. Michigan. This estate has
been in court since February, 1906.
Ursen H. Graham. the deceased, was
formerly a cattleman OF the Nortf
Fork country, and owned a large estat,
at the time OF his death.
