GOVERNOR WANTS REPORT ON
LIBEL AGAINST McFADDEN

Finding that District Attorney
Weiser refused to prosecute the editor
of the Daily Sentinel for criminal libel
against himself and C. A. Wood, l. d.
McFadden, the Paonia attorney has ap-
pealed to Governor Carlson for jus
tice" and the latter has instructed Mr.
Weiser to furnish him with a com
plete report.
The request from the governor in
cludes not only the editorial in the
Daily Sentinel which McFadden claims
to be libelous but the executive also
wants the facts in the old Lilylands
case which Judge Cavender decided
against the Wood-McFadden outfit
over a year ago. The charges which
McFadden makes against Rev. Becker,
Ben Griffith. Amos Morrell and Syl-
vester ]. Miller were given in detail
to the governor and in turn were
transmitted to Mr.. Weiser.
The district attorney, who return
ed from Denver this morning, stated
again that he would carry on no litiga-
tion in behalf of the Wood-McFadden
interests and that while he would com
ply with the governors request and
furnish as complete a report as pos
sible. he could not hold out any hope
to the Paonia bunch that any action
would be commenced.
A copy of the Sentinel editorial was
sent to the governor and the clipping
is now in the hands of the district
attorney-Grand Junction Sentinel

city wrecked.
And now, being deadlocked in the
west, the allies apparently are trying
to relieve the pressure on Russia by
forcing the Dardanelles. Determined
attacks there are reported at several
points and some progress is claimed.
1t is possible that an intention on
the part of the Germans to overrun
Serbia and send troops to aid the
Turks may be factor in inducing
the allies to attempt to reach Con
stantinople ahead of the Teutons.
British forces have been landed in
north side of the gulf of Saros, while
the Australians and New Zealanders
are strengthening their positions at
Gaba Tepe.
The new landing on the gulf of
Saros. If developed, will menace the
strong Turkish defenses on the neck
of the Peninsula.
The German offensive in Russiaa
is progressing in the face of vigor-
Gus resistance. British observers be
lieve that Riga is temporarily safe.

Three years ago the buffalo herd on

said that the other game animals in
the preserve, including the elk and

WHAT TO DO FOR
 YOUR ITCHING SKIN

Eczema, ringworm and other itch ing, burning skin eruptions are SC easily made worse by improper treat ment that one has to be very careful. There is one method, however, that you need not hesitate to use, even on a baby's tender skin-that is the resinol treatment. Resinol is the pre- scription of Baltimore doctor, put up in the form of resinol ointment and resinol soap. This proved so re- markedly successful that thousands of other physicians have been prescrib- ing it constantly for 20 years.
 Resinol stops itching instantly, and almost always heals the eruption quickly and at little cost. Resinol oint- ment and resinol soap can be bought at any druggists and are not at all expensive. Great for sunburn.-Adv.

CAUGHT THE BUSINESS MEN
Italian Organ Grinder Would Seem to Have knack of Knowing Just
 How to Please Hearers.

Some of the greatest men of past ages have to thank their knack of do- ing the right thing at the right time for their prominence in the annals of posterity.
 Gutenberg disclosed his newly in- vented movable type to a handful of men who were in great need of a medium to disseminate royal edicts on a grand scale. Thus the art of printing received a better start than it might otherwise have enjoyed.
 Franklin outlined the possibilities of electricity to an organization of men searching for just such force. Its triumph was of course assured.
 Giuseppe Gorolotta-name fictitious who pilots barrel organ through Main street has the same knack of do- ing the right thing at the right time, says the Buffalo News.
 When the first reports of the tor pedoing of the Lusitania were pub lished, Giuseppe chose as the psycho- logical time to play "The Star Span gled Banner" within hearing of all the office windows on Main street. The unusual appeal depleted half the vaca- ton funds in the business section.
 The knack that made other men great will make Giuseppe rich.

 The item recounted the details of a fight between two persons in a rural community. Their weapons, accord ing to the story, were scythe, corn knife, a shovel and butcher knife.
 After enumerating the details of the encounter, the dispatch concluded: "It is thought that the two men had some sort of a misunderstanding.
 That was quite as convincing as the comment made by the editor of rural paper in Maine on the arrest of young man who was caught climb ing out of the cellar window of cer- tain house with valise filled with silverware, jewelry and other articles of value

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National Heiriooms, About to Fall Apart, Have Been Repaired
 by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that once belonged to William Penn have just been repaired by two women who have never seen the chairs, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The two women are inmates of the Pennsylvania h. dustrial Home for Blind Women. The chairs are preserved in the east room of Independence hall, on the second floor. Year by year the cane bottoms of the famous old relics have been gradually cracking and falling out The committee in charge decided that unless the cane was replaced the woodwork might soon collapse. But they did not dare to let the chairs be taken out of Congress hall
 So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis- tress of handicraft at the Industrial Home for Blind Women, and she brought with her to the room two of the blind women who understood chair repairing. The work was peculiarly difficult, for 1t was impossible to erect in Congress hall the caning table need ed to hold the chairs firmly in place. and, moreover, their woodwork was soft with age. But the delft seeing fingers" of the blind women did the work in spite of all the difficulties, aL now the precious William Penn chairs are safe

SOLDIERS WHO WEAR WELLS
British Troops in Southwest Africa Have to Conduct Campaign
 Under Difficulties.

One of the hottest places where the British are fighting is in German Southwest Africa, where General Botha is in command of an expedition against the enemy The habitable part of German Southwest Africa lies in the center of sun-scorched, water less, shadeless desert of shifting sand, and General Botha's men have to carry everything they need, for nothing whatever can be obtained from the country, not even fodder for the ami mals.
 The sand penetrates everywhere, and the heat of the sun is so terrific that all the troops fighting with Gen eral Botha have been served out with wells and goggles" Without them, indeed, it would be impossible to get along at all, and, as it is, hundreds of the Boer burghers, though hardened campaigners. have been so blistered by the sun that they are in hospital.
 The heat at midday is 122 degrees in the shade and the shade" is a sweltering tent. Many of the troops pass that time of the day with noth- ing on but a sun helmet and a pair of boots.

British Naval Authorities Have Good Reasons for Drastic Action
 Recently Taken.

'No more girls on warships." This of a torpedo running amuck. For tunately the wild torpedo did little damage.
 The British destroyers have been putting in at Newport frequently and the officers have become popular with the inhabitants. The evening in ques- tion a prominent citizen of Newport, his niece and another young woman were aboard a destroyer, and one of the gunners was explaining the work ing of torpedo tube. The charge of high explosive had been removed and placed to one side. when the gunner was temporarily called away. Mean while another gunner came along and thinking the explanation had been con- cluded replaced the charge and went away.
 The first g"nner returned and un- aware that the charge had been re- placed, proceeded with his demonstra- ton, saying: This is how the tor pedo is discharged" With that he pressed the button.
 There was report and the amazed little party saw the deadly torpedo leave it's tube and travel under water right across the stretch between the pier where the destroyer was tied up and the next pier. It was making straight for large Italian steamship.
 But for some unexplained reason the torpedos course was suddenly de f1ected. Instead of striking the steam CT it crashed into the wall of the pier twenty feet from the vessels stern. Tons of water were thrown into the air, drenching many persons who happened to be near by. The pier suf- fered considerably. There will be no more little parties.

ACT WAS NOT TO HIS LIKING
American Soldier Properly Resented Filipino's Insult to Spanish
 Officer.
Better than ever

This story is told by an English na- val officer who witnessed the occur renee in Manila: AS 1 was crossing one of the numerous bridges across the Pasig river, l saw a native Ffli- pino spit in the face of a Spanish officer, and then run for protection to the American sentinel, who was pac- ing the bridge. It was some time be- fore the Filipino could make himself understood, but when the sentry com- prehended his action was very prompt indeed. He handed his gun to the Spanish officer, caught the native by the nape of his neck and the seat of his trousers, and pitched him off the bridge into the Pasig river. Then he calmly took his gun from the officer, and began pacing his beat, as If noth- ing had happened. d.'-Unidentified.

Curious War Coincidences.

A curious coincidence is narrated In a letter from Private s. N. Jones of the Motor Transport A. $. C, to friends at Llangollen, Wales.
 He was driver on the Llangollen- Wrexham motor-bus route, and enlist ed soon after the commencement or hostilities. In France, strange to say, he was drafted to the identical chassis of the motor he had been driving on the Denbighshire route, it having been purchased with many others, by the government.
 The manager of the road car com pany has written to Private Jones stating that, if it should be possible, they will repurchase the car after the war, and place upon it plate record ing the circumstances related.
