A Small Blaze in SprinQield

The most severe electric storm
of the season passed over Baca
county Friday night. A contin-
uous sheet of lightning played
over the, heavens and in some
parts of the county rain fell in
great torrents. Thunder claps
we're deafeninp, and no doubt
many of the bolts in the path of
the storm found their mark.
Here in Springfield one of the
bolts found its way down the
fiue to the Mrs. CIauson restau-
rant, threw down the stove pipe,
and set fire to the partition wal
in the building. the shock rem
dering Mrs. Clauson unconscious
for short time.
The schoolma'am roomers at
Miss Clara Alexander's were the
first on the scene, and the way
they did holler fire showed them

about the worst, they each in
turn falling broadsides IN the
mud, the former while on her
way to rouse the Central hotel
people, the latter with bucket
OF waiter, the bucket
going up while the editor was
going down.
Finally by the combined help
of say two dozen good people
the fire was extinguished, after
its having done probably 500
worth of damage.
Mrs. Clauson had the house
insured by the company of which
w. M. Stewart is the agent here,
so her loss is principally in the
business she had temporarily to
turn away after the fire.

A Prosecuted JUDGE.

One can readily understand the des-
peration of Judge Ben u. Lindsey. OF
the Juvenile Court OF Denver. but his
threat to kill the first man who again
assails his character cannot be ap-
proved as coming from one charged
with the enforcement of the law. Such
an act would probably serve the pur-
poess OF his enemies more than IL
would contribute TO his vindication.
The career OF Judge Lindsey has been
stormy one. a continual fight against
an element that has stopped to the
lowest methods 10 injure him. and has
scrupled at nothing TO bring disrepute
on his character. The vilest creatures
have been suborned to append their
names TO unspeakable afidavits. all
because he has espoused the cause of
virtue and made ruthless war on the
degenerate stratas of depraved hu-
mainly.
This enmity has been sinGularly
powerful. and has even reached into
the legislature OF the State. where il
lacked but a few votes Of IegisIating
him out OF an Office he could not he
defeated for. Every time he has ap-
pealed 10 the people. either as a regular
or an independent candidate. he has
been triumphant These successes.

going so far. not long ago. as to strike

man. his state of mind can well be
imagined. and he must have been in
q desperate state of mental anguish
when he was driven to declare: If
there is no law TO protect my reputa.
ton against perjured afhdavits and
criminally libelous statements. | will
revert 10 the methods OF the primitive
and kill the first man who assails IL
again In a calmer mood this perse-
cu'ed man cannot help but see that
this would be the end. and that OF all
men he should be the last to resort to
what he aptly terms the methods OF
the primitive"

appearing in another column. il is
quite clear why they are insisting that
the Judge is eliminated from the con.
est. They cannot conceal their graft
fication over the twist they have given
the phrase Il am not a candidate for
any ONCE" That is true. Judge Rob.
ipson has very properly held that 1t
would be incompatible with the digni-
~ OF his position on the bench to be
seeking q nomination. but Judge Rob
inson's candidacy is in other hands
than his own. He can control his own
activities. but he cannot suppress the
enthusiasm OF his friends. those men

and Judge Robinson fully appreciates
II but he has said he will give no ac-
quiescence to such candidacy until he
shall have resigned from the bench.
The Intelligencer does not believe
that Judge Robinson can long with
stand the growing sentiment in the
party in favor of his candidacy. With
cut dispsraging the avowed candida
cies OF other gentlemen, it cannot be
denied that the abilities and equip
ment of Judge Robinson for the Office
are of the very highest order. His in
tellectual qualities. his wide culture
and his intimate acquaintance with
the needs OF the State make him a
commanding figure in the public mind
which is considering the best interests
OF the general veal.
