A GOOD APPOINTMENT

George w. Newton, chairman of the
board of county commissioners has
been appointed honorary commissioner
of the Colorado State fair for this coun-
ty. In the letter advising him of his
selection, the Colorado State fair COM
mission say that the 1913 state fair
was conceded by all to be tine best fair
ever held in the west and that much
credit for its success is due to the as
sistance rendered by the various hon
orary commissioners; that the reason
for appointing Mr.. Newton is that they
desire a person who is well known, has
the confidence and respect of the citi-
zens of his county.
To see that this county is properly
represented at the state fair, Sept. %
to 81, is a matter that one man alone
cannot do, but he must have the hearty
support of all citizens.
BY the passage of the bill now before
the legislature for an appropriation
assist the state fair, the state fair com
mission feel that they can assure thf
citizens of Colorado that the 1919 fair
win be classed among the real statt
fairs of this country.

eight senators in signing the Lodge res
olution, the statement says:
"The signing Of a resolution by
thirty7eight members Of the next senate
does not make this partisan issue, al
though those who signed were all Repub-
licans, because no attempt was made to
secure the signatures of Democratic
senators, many of whom are just as
strongly opposed to the approval of the
constitution in its present FORM"
The statement voices the probabili-
ties that England and France may seek
to obtain certain notifications to some
of the provisions of the covenant as
drawn and voices the hope that the
American delegates will endeavor to
have the uncertainties of the present
draft clarified before final adoption.

GREATER GLENwooD TICKET

Material for municipal offices, or
rather for municipal nominations, has
been very scarce and shy this spring
and in contrast with some other years
when candidates sometimes urged their
own qualifications, it has been neces-
sary to almost draft candidates to fill
the various places on the tickets, and
these places are not all provided for at
this time.
The latest in this line is the "Great-
err Glenwood" party which has filed
with the city clerk the following ticket
by petition;
For mayor, C. w. Darrow; city treas
urer, Mary McQuade; aldermen First
ward, f. Il. Lucas and NJ. j. Keogh;
aldermen Second ward, w. Il. Oberto
and Morgan Gavin; aldermen Third
ward, Harry Logan and ]. NJ. Silver.

they might remain in the box, elect a
foreman and vote on the verdict with
out leaving their seats, or they might
call for a bailiff and retire to the jury
room if they preferred. The jurors ct
once called for bailiff, and this action
was interpreted by some as indicating
some displeasure on the part of the
twelve men. However, they soon re-
turned with verdict of acquittal as
per the instructions of the court. This
is the third time this case has been in
this court, the jurors heretofore failing
to agree.
The case attracted considerable at
tention, many stockmen being present
as witnesses or spectators. District At
torney Delaney was assisted by J. w.
Kelley Of Denver who is employed for
that purpose by the Colorado Livestock
association, and the accused were de-
Tended by j. L. Noonan, ]. W. Dollison
and M. J. Mayes. The prosecution was
given the usual time to apply for a bill
Of exceptions, and the case may yet go
to the supreme court.

SENATOR NAPIER
LAID TO REST

The funeral of the late Senator B.
7. Napier was held last Sunday after
noon, the service at the family resi-
dence on Bennett avenue being most
impressive, the attendance erowding the
house to the limit, showing the hign
esteem in which Mr.. Napier was held
by his neighbors and townsmen.
The floral tributes were both elab-
crate and profuse, the casket being COW
cred by these beautiful tokens of re-
membrance from many friends. The
pail bearers were selected from Mr..
Napier's business associates who nave
known him intimately for many years.
Honorary pail bearers selected from
Mr.. Napier's personal associates in the
state senate were present from Denver.
Mrs. F. B. Maloy sang a solo,
"There'll Be No Night There and a
choir composed of Mrs. Maloy, Mrs.
Bartlett, Miss Hill, MesNs. Belden,
French, Hubbard and Bartlett, with
Miss Genevieve Dickson as accompanist,
rendered a suitable funeral anthem.
The invocation was by Rev. VIM. Pep
per and the closing prayer by Father
Carrigan. The funeral discourse was
delivered by Chancellor Henry A. Buch-
tel, of the University of Denver, and
governor of Colorado at the time Mr..
Napier represented this county in the
state legislature. DIR. Buchtel has al
ways been classed as one of the warm
personal friends of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Napier, and during his many visits to
Glenwood he was almost invariably a
guest at their home His funeral ser
mon was pronounced a masterpiece by
all who were fortunate enough to hear
it, and was u high tribute to the mem
ory of mis- deceased friend
Interment was in Rosebud cemetery

of the association to Washington at
once to ascertain whether the delay in
cident to the sending to Colorado of
other officers to investigate various
sites offered at different points would
jeopardize the entire project So lar as
Colorado was concerned and with in
structions that if Mr.. Hinton, the as
sociation 3 delegate to Washington,
should find this situation to be true he
was to urge upon the authorities in
Washington that the entire ASSOCIATION
he represented was in favor of Glen
wood Springs. This resolution was not
voted upon by the representatives
from Garfield county, because of the
fact that they were not members of the
association.
While the meeting was in progress a
telegram was received from Mr.. Hin
toms brother in Washington to the eff
feet that delay in uniting on a site
in Colorado would probably jeopardize
the whole project and prevent the
state from acquiring a sanatarium.
By way way of showing the value Of
such an institution to a community and
state Mr., Harrington stated that the
hospital at Aurora lat the edge of
Denver, was costing the government
three million dollars "A year at the pres
ent time and that ninety per cent of
that money was spent in the state, the
greater part of it being spent in Den
yer, and that the government has but
just fairly started building on its 605
acres donated for the purpose. He
gave it as his opinion that the proposed
sanitarium at Glenwood would result
that at Aurora and would be of i'm
mense Importance and advantage to the
western slope and particularly to Glen
wood Springs and Garfield county.
Mr. Harrington prophesied that the
I'Huihlloh VI 'ith"p'i 'SP''uA' '''''
be at least doubled in two years with
the sanitarium here and that the ex.
penditures would reach millions of dol
lars per annum, the greatest portion OF
which would be expended for supplies
purchased locally and in work and
building construction and in entertain
ment for the occupants.
The inmates of the Glenwood sani
tarium, if this site be selected, will
not be either military or naval mel
now in the service, but will consist o.
civilians heretofore connected with th'
service but discharged therefrom, t.

tion in case Of disability incurred il

Matter of Selection of Federal
Recuperation Camp to Be
Decided in Short Time
OUR CHANCES GOOD

What Colorado point will be fortu-
nate enough to draw the federal recup-
Grafton camp? That is a question in
which the people of Glenwood are very
much interested at this time. Are we
to be designated as the fortunate spot
or will some eastern slope point draw
the coveted prize?
Last Monday meeting was held at
the Office of Cass 7. Harrington in Den
yer, Mr.. Harrington being president of
the Colorado DEVELOPMENT association,
with which all the counties of the state
have been asked to unite as members.
The object of this association is to in
terest manufacturing and other enter
prises to locate in Colorado and to in
terest capital in the various opportuni-
ties offered by this state.
Last Mondays meeting was called
to arrange, if possible, united action in
recuperation camp to be maintained by
the federal government.
The fact that Garfield county was
not officially represented by member
ship in the association caused consid
erable embarrassment for Mr.. Lucas
of the Glenwood Hot Springs company
and his attorney, G. w. Darrow of thi:
city, who were present urging Glen
wood as an ideal site for recupera
tion camp.
After much discussion, in which Glen
wood was permitted to take part, not
withstanding her lack of membership
it was decided to send representative

Judge Shumate Takes Case
From Jury and Directs ver-

LEGAL POINT INVOLVED

The case of the People versus j. w.
and G. A. Hopkins charged with cattle
stealing, occupied the attention of the
district court this week up to Wednes-
day noon when Judge Shumate took the
case from the jury and on motion of
attorneys for the defense, directed
verdict of acquittal. The action came
at the close of the testimony of the
People and before the defense had
called n witness. The motion was made
on the claim of the defense that the
corpus dclicti had not been proven.
The testimony was much the same
as in the two previous trials of this
case, but Judge Shumate, claiming that
the evidence was not sufficient to con
meet the defendants up with the crime,
if a crime had really been committed
which he said had not been proved be-
yond n reasonable doubt. District At.
torney Delaney and Mr.. Kelley con.
ieudci that this was matter FOR the
jury to decide, but Judge Shumate held
that supreme court decisions not only
gave him the right, but made IL hi:

this kind.
After explaining the ground on wAiet
he took this action the court read te

FAMILIAR WITH I'LL FORTUNE
Men Whose Names Stand High on Roll
of Genius Had to Fight for
Recognition.

No one need be ashamed Of the fact
that they may have been, at some time
or other, hard up for a meal. Many
celebrities have been situated in sim
liar circumstances. .s--
For instance, there was the late Sir
Henry Irving, the great genius of the
stage. Few people know of the trials
this eminent actor went through be-
fore he attained even small mOdicum
Of success. He was actually starving
on the streets at one time, without a
penny to buy a bun.
Then there was Oliver Goldsmith,
the author of some of our greatest
English classics. Once he lived in
garrett and was bothered by shrewish
landlady who demanded trent down."
Oliver Goldsmith had also numerous
other debts, which surely ought to have
turned him away from literature in
disgust as a means of livelihood.
But this Oliver Goldsmith would not
allow them to do, and consequently
he reaped his reward. And lola, the
affectation of all people who combine
culture with dash, poor lola also had
bad time of it going through the
literary mill. There was time when
editors and publishers used to read
his name on a manuscript and prompt
~ send it back.
