Jefferson County Man
Kills brOther-ln-LaW

Half crazed because of the brutal
treatment his sister had received
at the hands of her husband, and
fearing for her life as we'll as his
own, Ralph York shot and killed
his brother-in-law, W. H. Harri-
man, at the Lucas ranch, near
Semper, a few miles north of
Golden, Sunday morning. I'M
mediately after the shooting York
called Sheriff Jones and gave
himself up.
The shooting occurred after mid
night. Hartman was not instant
ly killed, and York had a doctor
summoned from Westminster and
then had the wounded man taken
to the Denver county hospital,
where he died early Monday morn
ing. York used a shotgun, and
the left side of Harriman's face
was literally torn off by the charge.
York shot thru the front door
while Hartman was trying to
break the door down to get in and,
York says, to kill him and his,
sister. Hartman fell to the porch,
and York then went out the back
door and notified the neighbors
and later the sheriff of what he
had done.
At an inquest:held Tuesday the
ooroner's jury brought in YER
dict Of justi6able homicide.
York is twenty years of age and
Harriman was a rough, brutal man
of about thirty-five. He had con-
fessed to his frail wife of having
previously killed two men and
that he had served time in the
Idaho penitentiary.

Clear Creek Miners
Are the Lucky Ones

While it is true that the smelter
combine have elevated their treat
ment rates considerably on dry
ores, especially on those up to $50
in value, the miners of the Clear
Creek district are in a peculiarly
fortunate position, in that they
still have a market for their ores
with the same prices in effect as
before the recent raise by the
combine. We refer to the Argo
mill, which we believe has been a
far more potent factor in securing
fair rates to the miner than all the
legislative committees we have
ever had or will have.
Comparison of the sme,ter
schedule with that of the Argo
mill shows that by sending their
ore to the latter, shippers can save
from so cents to $275 per ton on
ores up to $50 in value. In all
other cases on both lead and cop
per ores they can do equally as
we'll, to say nothing of the ad-
vantages of quicker settlements
To this must be added the fact
which every loyal Clear Creek
resident can easily realize, that by
shipping to the Argo mill they are
patronizing home industry which
employs over thirty men, whose
money is spent right here and
adds SO much more to our pros,
perity. The dollar that is sent
away can not be spent here. It is
gone.
