May Cause Friction

There is possibility OF Legislative
war over the very powerful public
domain commission which the legis
lature has created.
Beginning Jan. 1 the public domain
commission of six appointive members
takes over the work OF the state land
office formerly conducted by an
elected comm ssioner the work OF the
old public domain commission, the
con seryation commission and the state
board of control.
The new commission will have
everything TO say about the administrs
tion and direction OF public lands in
the work of development, refor.
estation. etc. And some of the legis-
lators think that so powerful de-
partment should be composed of elect
ed officers or headed by one elected
commissioner.

Walter Hunter is /
Pneumonia Victim

Shortly after 1870 this morning
death claimed Walter Hunter, one of
the best known and most popular
mining men of the La Platas. He was
stricken with pneumonia Saturday
afternoon at the Idaho mine. Mon
day afternoon he was brought to Du-
range and placed in Mercy hospital,
but his condition was so critical medi-
cal aid could not save his life.
His death has cost the camp one
of its best friends. Mr.. Hunter be-
lieved that the La Platas were des-
tined to produce soms,of the greatest
mines in the history Of the state and
he backed his enthusiasm with his
money, labor, time and enlisting the
interest Of capitalists in undeveloped
properties.
About twelve years ago he and his
mining associate, Mr.. Vandeventer, To-
Gated the May Day. Shortly they
sold their interest to the company
that now owns the famous mine for
$4,000. But this was only a begin
ming of his efforts in behalf of the
camp. Thousands of dollars of his
money went into different properties
in order to develop them and place
they on a paying basis. He was one
of those kindly. big-hearted men who
was ever ready to speak valuable
word of encouragement to those whose
efforts were not crowned with sic
cess and TO rejoice with those on
whom good fortune had smiled.
The deceased was 3S years of age.
Colorado had been his home for a
score Of years. He first located in
Cripple Creek when the camp had its
brightest days of prosperity. La
Plata county had been his home since
1900.
Eight years ago he married Miss
Beulah Campbell, eldest daughter of
Deputy Sheriff Sam Campbell and
wife. Two sons were the fruit of the
union. Two years ago the youngest,
a child of a few months. passed
away. He is survived by his devoted
wife and little son Of four.
Funeral arrangements are delayed
awaiting a message from two broth
ers of the deceased who reside in the
vicinity Of Hot Springs, Ark. The
services will probably be in charge Of
the Elks, Of which Mr.. Hunter was
a member.

dragred into the city and now they
wore being taken to the railroad
yards to be loaded onto cars that
world AIRY them out Of the reach Of
the Russians.
The safety of Przemysl could not
last uaany hours. 1t wouldn't take
the Rrssians long to notice that the
Austrian field batteries were silent
and it wouldn't take them much long
er to send out their Cossack patrol
to discover why the Austrian guns
were keeping the peace. Then, after
that, II would be only a matter of
few hours for the Russians to ad-
vance.
That evening when dined in the
officers casins there were no officers
there. They were out in the great
steel forts, ready to begin their re.
sistance to the Russian storm.
We left that evening in a Red
Cross train. The Russian guns were
sounding nearer than they had ever
sounded before. The sound of rifle
battle came to our ears some miles
outside the town; the noise of some
austrian infantry regiment holding
back The Russian onrush until the last
possible man, gun and horse who
wouldn't be needed in the town could
get ont of it.
Bearre the sun set the next day
the Russian army had surrounded
Przcmysl and my friends in the great

ing their great guns for their very
lives. But only few tens of thou
sand of Russians hovered around
ir7cmysl. More of them went on
into Galicia and, within few days
they were a hundred miles nearer
Vienna than they had ever been be-
fore.
Przcmysl is still an Austrian island
in the Russian flood. Its forts have
not yet been battered down. Daily it
sends its wireless message over the
Russian armies, over the Carpathians
saying I'VE are still holding out"
But it is now an island hundred
miles from an Austrian shore and
somt cay, if the wireless doesn't come
we1l know that the steel of the Rus
sian shells was stronger than the
steel of the Przemysl forts, or the
hearts Of those brave austrian off
GERS who stayed in Przemysl to hold
it or die.

was the next morning at z O'Clock,
in the Przemysl cathedral, barely
daylight. The evening before, the
man who is to be the next emperor
of Austria, had come into Przemysl
in his automobile, after hundred
mile ride. He had come to go to

in farewell mass; to say good

OF the storm of Russian shell and
shrapnel that would beat over Pre-
mysl as soon as our batteries had

like the moment of calm before a
tornado.
When the mass was ended the en-

was whirled out of the rings of forts

had been brought in from the rifle
trenches some miles outside the city
and were to be rushed away from
Przemysl to some other part of the

TEXAS CITY HAS
MANY 'GSTAS"

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Jan. H.
With thousands Of Mexican refugees
in this city, whose affiliations are
mixed with contending factions Of
their native land, and each waiting
and hoping for turn in affairs IA
'orable to their respective interests,
San Antonio occupies today an unique
position In relation to the war-torn
republic across the Rio Grands. And
80 it has ever since the overthrow
of the Diaz regime five years ago
when Francisco l. Msdero, disguised
as a peon, made his memorable o.
cape from Mexico and came here to
Launch his revolution which carried
him to the presidents chair and later
to his grave. Likewise the Reyes
revolution was started In San An
tonic. This was nipped in the bud
by the killing Of General Bernardo
Reyes in Mexico City.
Letterly, the United States govsrn-
ment has frightened its lines on the
activities Of Mexican refugees In the
States and filibustering from this
side of the border, regarding ~ .
violation of neutrality, is strictly pro-
hibited. When Emilio Vasquez Co.
mez, who had been making his home
here. gave long distance advice on
his ideas of running the Mexican
government and offered himself for
the provisional presidency, he was ar
rested together with his followers
here. 1t was quite recently that Da-
vid de la Fuente das arrested In con-
nection with this Gomez affair. All
the men have given bonds.
This has been an era Of "istas" in
Mexico--Maderistas, Reyistas, Vas
quistas, Carranzistas, Huertistas, Por-
firistas, Vilistas and Zapatistas, with
an "anti-ista" for every one Of these.
Most Of these have gone out Of az
istcnce until today the fight has mar
rowed down to the Carranzistas or
constitutionalistas and the villistas
or Zapatistas. The claims Of each
faction are exploited In tho Mexican
newspapers which have been spring.
ing up here like mushrooms until to-
day there are more publications Of
the Spanish language in San Antonio
than English.
The Carranzistas have q repressn-
tative or consul" here, Teodulo Bel
tran, who has a suite Of well oppolnt-
ed Offices where he receives visitors
and transacts business concerning tho
affairs Of the constitutionalistas.

SPORTING REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, Jun. 13.-What has
become of Willie Richie, is the ques-
tion just now before the local sport
ing public. The question is especially
appropriate at present with the real
ly fine crop of lightweights now bid
ding for public affair. The Welsh
White, the Welsh -Shugrue and the
Shugrue-W White fights of recent men,
ory and the White-W Welsh affair
scheduled for tonight have all served
to focus attention upon that class.
But to date Richie has not been heard
from.
No one thinks that the man con-
quered by Welsh in London is all in.
Ritchie's friends have declared that
his eyes were suffering as result
of that famous-or infamous battle
in the English capital, but no one
believes that the injury Is a perma-
nent one. Richie is probably doing
the sulking Achilles stunt and taking
on weight at the same time. II he
ever expects to get back in the ring
he will have to do it coon or not at
all. In the meantime he will have
the hopes and the best wishes Of
countless fight fans for he has al
ways been popular scrapper.
While on the subject of lightweights
it is worth while to notice the vary
ing points Of view In judging ten
round and other short bouts. The
question is, which is worth more, sci
ence or the punch?
Following the dictum laid down by
Snowy" Baker, the Australian pro-
moter, most Of the New York critics
favor the scientific boxer in the short
bout. This is the English system
which takes into consideration the
number of points piled up during a
match regardless Of the ruggedness
of the other man.
