For Law and Order

At q mass meeting of the repre-
sentative citizens of Rio Blanco
county, held at Meeker, May 8, 1914,
the following resolution was offered
and unanimously. approved and
adopted:
Whereas; A deplorable condition
VI lawlessness has existed during
the past several months In the coal
mining sections of the State Of Colo
RADIO, due largely, as we believe, to
the unreasonable and arbitrary de-
mands Of irresponsible agitators from
outside the state who insist upon the
recognition of lawless labor organi-
xation, whose record In this state
and elsewhere throughout the
country is one of anarchy, bloodshed
and arson.
Whereas; The governor Of this
state, in . conscientious effort to pre-
serve law and order, has been
harrassed and hindered In the per-
formance of his duty, first, by the
arbitrary refusal of the state auditor
to perform his plain duty under the
law, until compelled by order Of
court; second, by the contemplate
publication In certain Denver news
papers particularly, the Rocky
Mountain News, of false and gArbled
accounts of and comments on the
deplorable happenings at Ludlow
and elsewhere; and third, by the
ridiculous and off'cious conduct Of
certain women anxious for notority
who In no wise represent the best
element among the women voters Of
this state; Therefore,
Resolved; That we believe that the
foregoing preamble correctly repre-
sents the practically unanimous
sentiment of this community and Of
the decent, law abiding people Of this
state. That we have complete con-
fidence in Governor AmmOns and
believe that in the difficult matter Of
handling the strike troubles his con-
duct has been prompted by an honest
and conscientious desire to perform
his sworn duty In exact fairness to
all interests involved. We believe 1t
to be the duty Of our representatives.
in the legislature to uphold and sup
port the governor that the credit Of
our state may be restored and it,
honor maintained.

Gypsy Smith, who is known on every English

race, their habits manners, customs; VIII tell
how his father was converted in a Gypsy tent
and how he came to preach the gospel.
The Gypsies are a remarkable race. There
isn't man or woman in the world who has been
able to trace their origin, and Mr.. Smith with
his family believe that this nomadc tribe is real

life story of Gypsy Smith, as told by his son,
one would really think it fiction. SO years ago
this family was living in Gypsy tent, outsiders
from society," ignorant not able to read or write,
with little or no religion, and today some of that

HER PREMoNITloN or DEATH
Circumstances That Led Prominent
Woman TO Live Ever In Fear Of
impending Disaster.

A most touching account of the
premonition of coming trouble which
she experienced before the tragic
drowning of her children at Paris, was
given by Isadora Duncan, the dancer,
whose poetic interpretations charmed
the people of two continents.
Two months before the unhappy ac-
cident, the bereaved woman was con-
tinuously haunted with visions Of
death. Consulting her physician, she
vas assured that she was suffering
from nerves" When playing In Rus
STA shortly afterward. SO strong was
her conviction, one night, that her
own death was imminent, that she left
letter containing her last words"
on her dressing table, before going
onto the stage. Again one night on
the train she seemed to hear Chopin's
Funeral March all night long. At the
same time she seemed to see vision
which produced so vivid an impression
that on the stage next evening, en-
tirely without rehearsal, she repro
duced it in motion, reducing her audi
ence TO tears. aAll through my per
formance," Miss Duncan says: Il felt
IS though were marching to my
grave through an icy wind. and after
ward with melody Of resurrection, a
sort of ecstacy that was not earthly"
The very day of the terrible acct
dent, the mother had packed her little
ones, who had accompanied her with
their nurse to Paris. for a little outing,
where their lodgings were, as she was
to remain in Paris for the rest Of the
day; and in saying goodbye she play
fully kissed the lips of one of her
children through the glass. Contact
with the cold pane struck chill to
the mothers heart and strange fore
boding overcame her as the motor
whizzed out of sight. A few minutes
later the children were hurled from
the overturned car into the Seine.

Memphis, Tenn. Nine men were

being constructed across the Mississ.
iDpi here became filed with poisonous
gases.
All of the dead were white men.
Those rescued are negroes. Divers
recovered the bodies.
Cause of the gas formation is I'M
known. One physicianr stated the
bodies bore evidence of carbon-mons
oxide poisoning, which might have
been formed through the burning of
the oakum and rubber lining on top Of
the caisson. Another surmise was that
q deposit of marsh gas'' was pene-
trated in making the excavation.
The accident occurred about 100
feet inland on the Arkansas shore Of
the river. The first intimation those
at the top of. the shaft had that the
men had been overcome was when no
report had come from the descending
crew. Watson volunteered to go to
aid Of the men and was overcome
while descending the shaft The shaft
then was filed with water and the
negroes were hauled to the surface in
q bucket through the supply shaft.
Before the last man was started for

He was Jim Daniels, shift foreman.
