ATLANTIC MAN is
AGAIN A CANDIDATE

Judge j. B. Rockafellow, will be
a candidate for reelection at the
general election held Nov. 5th. The
people in this part of the district
are quite anxious that the Judge be
returned to his present position. In
the first place he is exceptionally
we'll qualified to hold the position.
He is fair and impartial and under
stands law. He resides close to
Audubon and it is often important
to have a Judge close at hand in or
der that necessary papers can be
signed at earliest possible moment.
With Judge Rockafellow in Allan
tic would give the Audubon coun-
ty people almost as good service as
though we had a resident judge.
From that view point alone, Audu-
bon county voters should support
Judge Rockafellow. He is a
candidate on the non-partisan
ticket SO that republicans and demo.
Gratis alike can support him.
He has filled the office the past
two terms to the entire satisfaction
of the bar and everyone of them
want him reelected. Personally he
is a pleasant agreeable gentleman
and is certainly entitled to the sup
port of his neighbors. Audubon
Republican
John Anderson and family visited
Sunday afternoon at the Jens Lang
home in Audubon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Hensley
and MIR. and Mrs. Will Voss were
entertained Sunday evening at the
John Parrott home.

QUIT Thinking
ABOUT |NFLUENz

Des Moines, Oct. I4--A plea for
the application of common sense
and the basic principles Of Christian
Science to the present influenza ep-
idemic was made by the ssflu" COM
mittee Saturday. The immunity
from infection enjoyed by the sol
diers at Camp Dodge, who are
Christian Scientists was brought to
the attention Of the committee by
Marshal Miller, president of the
Trades and Labor assembly. NThese
people are keeping themselves in
good health by right attitude of
mind" said DR.. w. G. Witte, chair
man of the committee. Many peo-
pie contract diseases mainly thru
fear Of them, and this fear is the
first thing we have to overcome in
conquering the epidemic.
Power Of Thought
s'There is no doubt in my mind
that people can think themselves
into having a disease or even into
their graves, if they are not careful.
I do not mean to make light Of the
situation in any way, for it is most
certain serious one. but instead of
expecting to catch influenza, if peo-
pie would use common sense and
preventive measures, they would be
less likely to contract it,"
Entirely too much publicity has
been given the symptoms" said Il.
w. Byers, corporation counsel and
this had bad effect on the people.
/ think preventive measures should
be given out, instead
Asked whether Christian Scien-
lists Of the city had objected to the
quarantine, DR.. Witte replied:
"Most certainly not. ! have
found in all my work that the sci
entists are always quickest to COM
ply with any suggestion of SANTA
ton or the good health Of the com
munity"
With every book loaned at the
city library, a printed slip giving
measures which will prevent Span
ish Influenza is given out, thru the
cooperation Of Forrest B. Spaul-
ding, city librarian.

GAME WARDEN MAKES
LARGE HAUL IN PARADOX

Jack Jennings, deputy game warden,
returned from Nucla on Sunday. w.
b, Erasar,s state game and. fish COM
missioner, and Glenn Crowley, in the
attorney generals office in the legis-
lature, came with him; they are max
ing circuit of the state.
Mr. Jennings has recently had a
case at Nucla, where he arrested A.
F. Pahlke, formerly Mayor of Nucla,
and Chas. H. Templeton for poaching
beaver hides. Pahlke was fined 5000
and costs and Templeton was fined
$500.
1t seems the men had caught twelve
beavers in Tabeguache creek and had
shipped the hides to q firm in Min
nesota, but they were intercepted at
Denver, thru some clever work on the
part of the game warden. Faced with
the facts the men pied guilty at once,
and paid their fines right off the bat.
In talking with Mr.. Fraser, he gave
us the interesting information that
when he took the job of State Game
and Fish commissioner, something
over four years ago, there were five
state hatcheries distributing annually
seventeen million fish. Now the num-
ber of hatcheries has increased to
twenty-three and over forty million
small trout are each year placed in the
streams Of Colorado.
All Of which should assist very ma
terially in attracting tourists to Colo
RADIO, the playground of the ma

IMMENSE SULPHUR DEPOSIT
FOUND NEAR HOTCHKISS

NOrJn FORK l1meS:-
Quite an excitement has resulted
here on account of the discovery of an
immense deposit of sulphur near the
mouth of the North Fork.
Perry Jones and other Roger mesa
ranchmen have known of the presence
of the mineral in that region for a
number of years, but Adam Seager Jr.
who is Interested in prospecting and
possesses considerable knowledge of
minerals, took the matter up and sent
a sample to Prof. George. This sam
pie showed 81 per cent sulphur.
Seager and Jones and offers imme-
diately filed claims on the land in the
vicinity of the discovery and have
opened up several prospects, one being
in about ten or twelve feet, and it is
thought that ore found in this new
opening will test as high as 10 per
cent sulphur. The demand for sulphur
ic acid at this time mixes these claims
of considerable value, and Mr.. Seager
is trying to interest capital in the pro-
position. If sulphur has any value,
this find is worth whole lot, for the
supply is practically inexhaustible, as
it crops out along the gulch in which
it is found as much as forty feet in
places and for long distance.
This deposit is within one-half q mile
of the railroad, and extends down to
the Gunnison river.

DEATH TAKES TOLL OF

c. p. Zoellnef Dies At Salida After

C. p. Zoellner
C. p. Zoellner

On Tuesday,, January 1st, at one
o'clock the Death Angel entered the
D. & r. G. hospital at Salida and
claimed Mr.. C. P. Zoellner after lin
gering illness of about six months.
Mr. Zoellner was born in Saxony,
Germany, on June 25, 1859. When
only one and one half years old, he
was brought to Canada where he was
reared and educated. On November
%, 1885, at Campbellford, Canada, he
was married to Miss Mary Reardon.
Shortly after this they moved to the
United States where he, began work
for the D. & R. G. railroad company
as ticket agent. His great trust
worthiness Is shown by the fact that
he held this position with the rail-
road company for thirty-one years.
All this time he has made his home in
Colorado. For the past seven years,
they lived in Gunnison until last year,
when they moved to Pitlin. Five Rirls
pleased their home, two Of which are
still living, Mrs. Jos. Miller, and Mrs.
A1onxo Miller, both Of Gunnison.
Mr.. Zoellner had been gradually de-
clining for the past six months, but
has been IN the hospital for only two
manfhs. During this time, Hrs. Zoel-
1ner has been With him constantly.

STOCK GROWERS
ASK PR0TEcT|0Mi
DECLARE - PER CENT OF GRAZ
ING FEES SHOULD RETURN 10
FIGHT POISON WEED. =
Decide TO Hold Annual Banquet ana
Ball, Want Grazing On An Pubaie
Lands Handled By Csvesnneat.

The decision Of the Gunnison stock
growers to hold their annual spring
banquet and ball, the demand for
twenty per cent Of grazing fees to-
ward fighting the poison weed dam
ger and very earnest request upon
congress to include grazing privileges
of the vacant public land east of the
Ute reservation in our county, under
the management of government bur
eaus, were three outstanding features
of the mid-winter meeting Of that or
ganization Saturday.
The demand for assistance in fight
ing poison weed was the first matter
taken up. According to government
reports during tine past year there
were 243 head of cattle killed on tho
Gunnison reserve by poison weed and
2S5 on the Cochetopa reserve, total
of 548 head in our territory. II we
figure these at the conservative es-
innate of being worth $50 each, that
makes $27,400 worth of beef lost,
which is whole lot in these "meat-
less days." Probably our section is
not worse than other reserves, SO that
the total loss in the national forests
must be over million. Last year
the bureaus put up the grazing tax
25 per cent, and it amounted to q to-.
tai Of million and half collected
from the stockmen. The government
ought to be willing to devote twenty
per cent Of it to this purpose.
These facts were brought out, and
r. r. Allen, L. H. Easterly and E. A.
Foster appointed q committee to
draft resolution to present to con-
gress.
The large delegation present was
almost unanimous in favor Of ask
ing congress to put the control Of
grazing privileges ON all vacant gov-
fcrnni6ht land east of the l07th mefl.
dian, which is the old Ute reserve
tion line running north and south five
miles west Of Gunnison, under con-
troll of the Interior or of the Agricul-
tural departments at Warrington.
Nothing can be done in the Ute reser-
walton except buy the land at $1.26
an acre, for the money goes to the
Indians. President Comstock was
asked to appoint two other members
and draw up proper resolutions.
The presidents was also requested
to make arrangements for estray day
and his appointments for captains
and lieutenants in the various dis
tricts appears on page two. Estray
day is set for Saturday the 18th.
T. w. Gray and E. A. Foster were
appointed delegates to the American
National Live Stock association which
meets in Salt Lake City week after
next. For the state association which
meets in Denver the following week
at the time of the fat stock show, all
members of the association in ufod
standing who are present will be fur1,-
ished credentials as delegates.
From financial report it appeared
that the association is badly in debt,
and vigorous measures were advocated
to collect annual dues and the &c per
head special assessment.
Geo. Anderson, l.. H. Rouviere and
Frank Anderson were appointed COM
mittee to arrange for the annual ban
quet and ball, which is to be held this
year in the l. o. o. F. hall, and to be
restricted to association members. The
banquet is to be basket supper.

some reporter on the Pacific coast,
friends Of Prof. Alexis Ben Kori, pro-
fessor Of modern languages at the

week aroused by his reported arrest.
Prof. Ben Kori, was for seven years

modern languages at the U. of C. in
Boulder was arrested in Chicago,
charged with disorderly conduct. Evil
IDENTIFY this news dispatch got mixed
on the coast and wires were sent here
inquiring about the reported arrest
of Prof. Ben Kori, who was known to
be an instructor at Colorado col

the effect that there was no truth

it were not for the dislike Of the auv.
ernndent to disrupt the teaching forees
