Rivalling the war in Europe in
public interest is the approaching
fstic battle between Johnson and
Willard at Havana, which will take
place on April A. The fight fans are
vitally concerned in the facts that
Johnson is in good condition; that
Wizards form is improving; that
the odds are 9 to on the niger,
and that Jack Welsh of San Fran
cisco has been selected as referee
If Johnson wins or loses he will
still be fugitive from justice and
an unwelcome citizen to the United
States.

STATE WILL NOT ENFORCE
THE FEDERAL GAME LAW

The following self-eXplanatory
letter from the State Fish and Game
department will no doubt interest
local duck hunters:
March "a, 1915.
Mr.. Eek Farrow. County Clerk and
Recorder, Del Norte, Colo:
Dear Sir-Replying to your re-
cent communication beg to advise
that this department will make alb
solutely no effort to enforce the Fed
eral Migratory Bird Law.
Sportsmen in most localities, are
shooting as heretofore, this spring,
and in my opinion, no prosecutions
will follow.
| think you will be safe in advis-
ing the boys to go ahead and enjoy
their spring shooting in conformity
with the Colorado law.
Yours very truly,

that he was going to take round
of calomel" for the grippe. AL.
though it could not be determined
how much of the morphine he had
taken, the physicians testified that
his symptoms were clearly those of
one suffering from some form of
opium poisoning. (Morphine is a
derivative of opium
An incident of the affair which
was responsible for some wild ru-
mors was the purchase by Mr.. Coch-
ran of an ounce bottle of laudanum
at the Fuller drug store on March
13, upon prescription of Dr.. Craw-
ley. The poison could not be found
at the time of the death, but the
matter was entirely cleared up by
Miss Cochran, who stated that her
father had purchased some lauda-
nun for making a liniment to use
on her horse at the ranch, and the
unopened bottle was discovered in
Mr.. Cochran's valise during the
progress of the inquest.
Verdict of jury
Upon the conclusion of the testi-
mony the jury unhesitatingly reach
ed verdict of accidental death,
their formal conclusion being given
herewith:

MISTAKE, ENDS FATALLY
rOCKMANDlES FROM OVERDOSE
OF DRUG LEFT FOR WIFE

h NJ Cochran was found uncon-
ors hy one of the members of his
Ini,v at his home on Third avenue
nennis street late Monday after
on and physicians were hastily
mmoned. Dr.. Moninger respond
and. finding that the patients
ndition was caused by poisoning,
lied in Drs. Trueblood and Pol
X TO assist him. The three phys;-
ms applied antidotes and worked
RELAYS until l o'clock Tuesda"
,rning, when death came without
chran's regaining consciousness.
The death was a severe shock to
family, Mrs. Cochran being quite
at the time. Deceased was about
years of age and is survived by
wife and four children. The body
' ii be shipped to the former home
Chickasha, Oklahoma, this (Fr.-
" evening. Mr.. Cochran was a
bckman, and had a ranch near

On account of the fact that the
ath was caused from poisoning,

est to investigate the matter. Ac-
'rdingly coroner's jury Yves i'm

bned Thursday morning at the un-
rtaking parlors. VIM. B. Coch-
n, son of deceased; Miss Coch-
IN, daughter, and Mr.. Wadleigh,
uncle, testified that the family
'lations were most congenial and
at Mr.. Cochran had been in good
|irts and hopeful, although suf-
Fing from an attack of grippe.
bey declared that there was no rea-
in for suicide.
1t developed in the inquest that
Pchran had taken an overdose of
'orphine by mistake for calomel.
Plvelopes containing morphine tab
Is and calomel tablets had been

Pchran's room, the morphine hav-

fving pain, and it seems conclusive

contract was for 100000 drop forge Shells wanted

Attached to the blue prints returned to the
commission by the company note which read
For humanitarian reasons this company finds
itself obliged to refuse to consider the contract"
The value OF the contract offered to the COM
pany was estimated at $450,00O. Charles o. Brvson
president and general manager of the comnanv
SAID: Our company refused to consider this con-
tract because we don't think warning nations should
be encouraged. AS long they are able to mr.
chase supplies of this nature the war will continue
I'VE are looking for business but we would

FOR BRONCHITIS, WAooP|NG COUGH,

Make the Best Remedy at Home
If everything was sold in as liberal
and fair a manner as Barker's Drug
Store are selling Schiffmann's New
Concentrated Expectorant, absolutely
no cause for complaint or dissatisfac-
tion could possibly arise from any
one. These druggists say-"Buy a
bottle Of this remedy and try it for
Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Severe
Cough, Group or any Bronchial At
lection, and we will return your
money, just as we do with Schiff-
mann's famous Asthmador, if it does
not give satisfaction, or if not found
the best remedy ever used for any Of
these complaints" Why not take
advantage of this guarantee and try
this medicine, and get your money
back, rather than buying another
purely on the exaggerated claims IF
it's manufacturer or on the strength
of testimonials from others and run
the chance of getting something
worthless and also wasting your
money?

In buying this remedy, besides Sc

efficiency from these druggists, you
also get about eight times as much
medicine as you. would in buying
most any of the old-fashioned, ready
made kinds. which average from 20

opium, morphine or any other mar
cotic. It is pleasant to take and
children are fond of it. You will
be the sole judge, and under this
positive guarantee absolutely no risk
is run in buying this remedy. Drug

sell it under the same guarantee as
