Stephens said his action was taken
after a painstaking survey of the evi-
denee produced at Mooney's trial, but
because of "certain new developments
following the conviction which would
not be considered by the state supreme

pealed, he found justification for set

INFLUENZA HALTS
FARMERS CONGRESS

The annual session of the Colorado
Farmers and Farm Women IS congress
has been given up on account of the
influenza situation. The session was
to have been held at the Agricultural
college at Fort Collins. Dec. Q to 13.
President Newton c. Dougherty OF

after comforting with leading members
of the congress have decided that be
cause of the epidemic it will be unwise
to proceed further with the plans.
Whether or not the session will be held
later this winter is not known at this
time. 1t will depend entirely upon the
influenza situation and the usual other
diedhere from the flu.
The necessity for abandoning the
session will be source of real regre.
10 those who planned to attend. for one
of the very best programs ever out
lined for the congress had been pre-
pared, and everything pointed to a
well attended, interesting session.

OHIO REPUBLICANS
FORM PERSH|NG CLUB

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The "Pershing
Republican League has been launched.
The 1920 presidential campaign is in
the making. General Pershing appears
to be faced with the destiny of other
great generals of the United States.
He may be the next president. Poll
ticians believe so and both Democrats
and Republicans have been claiming
him as their own.
The purpose of the league as set
forth in the articles of Incorporation
are TO "erystallize the already existing
sentiment for Gen. John J. Pershing as
president of the United States in 1920
and to work for his nomination and
election.''
Former United States Senator Charles
Dick turned the trick when he caused
to be incorporated at Columbus, Ohio.
"The Pershing Republican League"
1t did startle some of the Democratic
leaders who have argued that General
Pershing was Democrat.
The Ohio Pershing Republican league
is to be followed by similar campaign
organizations in the other states, and
the organization work is to be carried
down to the unit of every district in
the United States. Dispatches from
Columbus state it is probable that for
mer Senator Dick will be the president
of the national organization.
"Wcll, it does not matter what he
has been, both parties will be running
him for president" remarked one Re-
publican leader.
Senator Warren of Wyoming is a rel
ative of General Pershing and the Re-
publicans who have been talking a
Pershing candidacy have been looking
to Senator Warren, dyed in the wool
Republican, to see that General Persb

HAVE PoTTED MEAT READY

The end of a boiled ham or corned
beef sorted, bone and gristle removed,
fat and meat chopped fine, may yield
more than could be used advantageous
ly at single meal. Heat it, with little
water, in its own fat and pack solidly
in jelly tumblers or small jars. There
should be quarter inch of fat OH top
to harden and form seal from the arr.
With a tin cover on top, meat thus pre-
pared will keep several weeks.
Seasoning may be added as for any
potted meat. Meat thus prepared, both
fat and lean, is ready to be used with
from two to four times its bulk of po-
tatOes or other vegetables for ,hashes,

OIL sHALE BUSINESS ACTIVE

Grand Valley, Colo, Nov. 2s-A num-
ber of shale men were in Grand Valley
last week, most of them parties who
are already interested in the local pro-
duct. Said Mr.. n. Il. Beck of Las
Vegas, one of the owners of the Ma
tional Oil Shale and Refining company,
I'VE are here with view of getting
our plans perfected for al early start
in the spring. l am not yet ready TO
give ont the details of our program,
but it is a sure thing that my company
the next six months, for ! am satisfied,
as are my associates, that oil shale is
going to prove its great worth to the
country and that, too, within the next
year or two. 1t is simple as A b c.,
the world has got to have oil and lots
of 1t. The production is running short
on narrow margins, therefore, the only
possible relief j, oil shale.''
J. L. Herwick closed deal with Las
Vegas parties last STtunlay, in which
he sold the Oyler group of oil shaie
placer claims. These men arc a live
bunch and the Grand Valley people may
look for results in the early spring.

The governor said there were certain
features connected with the case which

death should not be executed. For this
reason, and because of the earnest re-
quest of President Wilson for commu-
tation, he did not believe that the ex-

KAISER HOARDED FOOD
AS PEOPLE STARVED

Amsterdam, Nov. 27.-"How vii.
helm Held Out" is the title of an ar.
ticle in the Frankfort Volks Steimmc
by Wilhelm Carle, a Socialist, who dis.
covered the boards of provisions which
the former emperor had in his Berlin
palace.
"The quantity" the writer says,
"exceeded all expectations" In large,
white-tilcd rooms was everything, liter
ally everything one can imagine in
foodstuffs. 1t is inconceivable that after
four years of war such huge quantities
could be boarded.
There was meat and game in cold
storage, salted provisions in large cases,
white meal in sacks piled to the roof,
thousands of eggs, gigantic boxes filled
with tea, coffee, chocolate, lard and
Jelly and jam; hundreds of sugar loaves
and endless stacks Of peas, beans, dried
fruits and biscuits Their value
amounts to several hundred thousand
marks.
"These boarded foodstuffs cannot be
better used than to be preserved as a
lasting memorial to our posterity, which
should see how, while millions in Ger

Accidental Discharge of Gun
Sends Bullet Through Heart
Of Wilson \. Pottengtr
DEATH INSTANTANEOUS

The gladness of the Thanksgiving
season was broken and sadness cast its
mantle over the city at the news Thurs-
day evening of the explosion of gun
with which w. H. Pottenger had been
hunting, resulting in the young man's
instant death, almost at his own door
step.
The Pottengers had planned for IA
day of gaiety at their little suburban
home on South Grand avenue, and to
this home had invited as their guests
for the day DIR. and Mrs. L. B. Clarke
of Rifle, DIR. Clarke being Mrs. Potten-
gers brother. All arrangements had
been made for the accustomed Thanks
giving feast and about IL clock Mr..
Pottenger and DIR. Clark thought
tD whet their appetites and enjoy
a little exercise skirting the hills
for few hours in search of rab-
bits. Accordingly they took their
guns and climbed toward cemetery
hill and later made their way back Of
the Anson ranch to the vicinity of the
flouring mill. Mr.. Pottenger then
started leisurely toward home and Ills
guest pushed on little farther, hoping
to be successful in bagging rabbit Or
two.
Arriving at home about half past
three Mr.. Pottenger found a COW in his
blackberry patch and started to drive
the animal away. Just what happened
and just how it happened will never
be known beyond the fact that little
Mabel Crook, living just across the
street, saw Mr.. Pottenger raise the gun
aid strike the trespassing cow. This
action was accompanied by loud re-
port md Mr Pott"ager fell to the
eroauu.
The sharp report of the gun was the
f,ss notice to Mrs. Pottenger that her
hu, band had returnel and she and her
children rushed out to find the hug
band and father gasping his last
breath. Blood flowing profuscly rfom
the breast told only too plainly the
story of the awful tragedy which
blotted out the life of this amiab!e
young man and good citizen.
Thayer Hubbard, neighbor, rushed
to the scene when attracted by the
shot, and he phoned DR.. Hopkins who
responded promptly, but it wa plain
to be seen that death had been itsnan-
taneous.
H. Wilson Pottenger was 80 years
of age last August and had spent sew
eral years of his life in Glenwood,
Grand Junction ami Ma Bile, usually
being employed as railroad engineer.
He was married to Miss Gretta Clarke
on April %, 1911, the day on which
the young lady was Is years of age.
To this union were born three children
who with the devoted wife and the
young mans mother are made desolate
by this sudden loss.
Mr. Pottcnger's mother, Mrs. Julia
Pottenger, now of Los Angeles, was ap-
prised of the tragedy, as was also Mrs.
Fottenger's mother, Mrs Alice B.
Clarke of Denver, but who was spend
ing her Thanksgiving vacation with
her liece. Miss Nellie Culver of Bur
lington, Colo. Funeral arrangements
cannot be made until these two ladiso
reach Glenwood. The last sad fite<
