The newspaper reports of the camp
have not been overdrawn, ON the contrary
they have been conservative in estimat-
ing the rush and amount of money be-
ing made by the prospector and miner.
This is really n poor mans camp. The
big companies that own ground are
really willing to grant leases TO reliable
men who will work and the uneNplored
field around the district is full of men
who are making good. A conservative
estimate would be that 25 per cent of
the men going into the district are max
ing big money.

The town itself was deserted eighteen
months ago, but is now growing with

are being rented at unheard of prices as
fast as they can be built and nearly 800
carpenters are at work in Nederland

are finding employment at good wages.
Many large stamp mills are being erected
as fast as men and materials can get on
the ground.

for thirty minutes to get into one of the
town restaurants to get something to
eat and every eating place in the camp
was equally crowded. To get a place

Action Taken Upon Advice Of District
Attorney, Who Says Further
Prosecutions Are Useless

In the district court at Canon CITY.
?" ednesday, Judge j. L. Cooper dismissed
ninety cases against as many defendants,
arrested on charges growing out of the
coal strike in Fremont county. This ae.
ton was taken upon request of Deputy
District Attorney E. H Cintemeyer, who
acting Tor District Attorney Gilbert A.
Walker OF Buena Vista. made the fol-
lowing Statement:
Inc cases have passed several terms

these cases originated have almost disan.

ton OF them at this time would renew

from the result of other prosecutions Of
IKE nature in this and other counties OF

conviction could be had Hence. under
the circumstances, the district attorney
Is convinced that it is TO the best inter
ests OF the taxpayers of Fremont county
that these cases be dismissed"
Only Two Convictions.
The charges under which these ninety
victims were held on bond ranged from
murder and assault to kill to riotinr and
the malicious destruction of property.

Chandler cases. Only one case had been
brought to trial and resulted in two out

There yet remain over three hundred
cases pending against former strikers

II is believed the action of Judge
Cooper in dismissing all the Fremont
cases may have an influence toward sim
liar dismissals in other counties, provid-
ing Governor Carlson and Attorney Cen
eral Fred Farrar, who have led in these
strike prosecutions, can be convinced by
district attorneys of the futility of put

trying these cases.

tary protection for their clients when
Hney are arraigned for trial. The same
preSaution was taken during the grand
jury investigation that resulted in tho
indictments.
The three defendants are David n
overton. Charles NJ. Nails and Percy
Brooks. The crime with which they
are charged in the indictments is the
murder of w. 7. Lawler, probate Judge
OF Madison county Overton is ac.
cused as principal and the two others
as accessories. All three defendants
are well known. For many wears
Overton has been one Of the most
powerful politicians in the county
Nails has served as clerk of the cir
cult court and Brooks is a prominent
farmer of Whitesburg.
8 The case had its beginning in the
democratic primary election of May 0
in which Lawler was unsuccessfully
opposed for reelection as probate
judge by Overton. The first sensation
came with the empanelling of a grand
jury to investigate the election, which
was said to have reeked with fraud,
and the reported action of the grand
jury in finding more than score of
true bills against Judge Lawler and
recommending his impeachment.
Judge Lawler was murdered on the
night Of June IA, and his body, weight
ed down with railroad iron, was thrown
into the mouth of deep creek that
flows Into the Tennessee river at
Whitesburg. An anonymous note to
the sheriff said that if the creek were
dragged something of interest would
be found, and this led to the discov;
cry of the body three days later
