5, COLO. WEDNESDAY. MAY Is, 1921
MEMORIAL

Memorial day means more to-
day than it did fifty years ago.
AT that time there was more or
less hate mingled with the honor
and love we showed for the fallen.
Hate--not for our boys, but for
the men from the other side of the
Mason and Dixon line. These
other boys were wrong-our boys
were right. Our men were heroes
the others, brutes.
Not so today. Just as tenderly
as of old, do we lay the little
wreath of flowers on the graves OF
our heroes and plant the little flag
be it stars and stripes or stars and
bars.
The bent hoary headed boy in
gray is just as much at home with
the Colorado Yanks as the old
fellow in blue is with the boys
down in Georgia. Now, we are all
Americans, and the man W h O
charged by orders from Grant and
the one who fought with Lee, now
have an interest in common-their
grandsons stood side by side and
faced the German at Chateau
Thierry and in the Argonne. Auc
the German turned and ran, fol
no soldier on earth can long face
the fighting lads of these Re-Unit
ed States. We realize now wh,
the war of the COS was such ;
a bitter one-it was American
against American.
Somebody was wrong in 1861
But time, the great healer of al
wounds, has even obliterated tn
scars, and we stand today a reunit
ed country, one for all aud all TO
one. Wherever thev sleep, unde
the sod and the dew, wearing tn
gray or the blue, we honor thei
memories and lay our tribute o
| flowers upon the grave of al
American.

Tightening Puts Gem
Out of Commission

A flash of lightning caused
the Gem mines to be put out of
com m ission for one shift Monday
evening. The men were iu the
office at the time of the accident,
and set out at once to hud the
trouble. The general superinten-
dent, B. w. W. McDougal, and
Engineer I, r. Coe left at once in
their car for the Gem shaft house
to see if the trouble was there.
Not finding it there, they came
back and found the lightning

some damage at the steam plant.
Power was restored by 9 O'Clock,
but not in time to permit the men
to go to work.

some of his employees, has been

PIONEER ANDC|vIL
WAR VETERAN
PASSES AWAY
Joseph Burke, Jr., Dies at His
Home in This City After a
Prolonged Illness; Wasa Res
ident of Idaho Springs Since
1879 and Greatly Respected.

The entire community mourns
the loss of one of its most highly
respected citizens in the death of
Joseph Burke, Jr., one of the old
est pioneers of Idaho Springs, who
passed away at 1920 p. m. Satur-
day at his home on Virginia street.
His death was caused by com-
plication of diseases. He was
born in Liverpool, England, March
80, 1S47. His parents came to this
country and located at HARRISON
vile, Missouri, when he was an
infant.
When he was fifteen years old
he enlisted with the Union army
in Pettis county, Missouri, Oct. 6,
1862, to serve three years or dur
ing the war, and was mustered into
the United States service at Seda-
liza, Missouri, as a private in Cap
tain Reuben Smiths Company A,
second battalion cavalry, Missouri
state militia.
The second battalion cavalry
participated in a number of minor
engagements and skirmishes, nota-
bly, those al Lone Jack, Portland,
and Mexico, Missouri, and with
the first battalion, Missouri state
militia, it assisted in the defeat
and capture of a number of bands
of marauders and guerrillas, losing
a number of officers and men dur
ing their comparatively brief SER
vice. The officers and men evinced
the highest soldierly qualities and
fully sustained the proud record
our veterans have ever attained in
in the field of battle, and the state
and nation owe them lasting graft
tude for the service thus rendered.
1t was mustered out March 81,
1863. Mr.. Burke received an hon
orable discharge at Benton bar
racks. st. Louis, Missouri, March
81, 1863. He re-enlisted at Har-
risonville, Cass county, Missouri,
July 10, 1868, and was mustered
into Captain John T. Blake's Com
pany l, sixth regiment, Kansas
volunteer cavalry, Sept. 8, 1868.
Three companies OF this regi-
snent were organized in July, 1861,
as Home Guards, but is was soon
ascertained that these companies
were inadequate for the protection
of the border, and on August II,
FIVE new companies were organized
fourof Cavalry and one of infantry.
Companies Ell and were organized
in September and October, 1861.
The infantry performed garrison
duty at Fort Scott, and the four
cavalry companies, D, E, F and G,
were constantly employed in scout
ing and picket duty, during the
winter of1S61-62. In the spring
of 1862, the regiment was re-or-

WALTER E. BEHR
ACQUITTED OF
MURDER CHARGE

9AAN 4shAhaNS0 ~
Bring in a Verdict of Not
Guilty in the District Court
at Georgetown on Monday;
Evidence Same as at the In
quest Held by the Coroner.
The trial of Walter E. Behr on
the charge of numbering Thomas
Adams on April 26, in this city,
was held at Georgetown on Mon
day, and he was acquitted in just
eight minutes after the case was
given to the jury. The trial con-
sumed just two hours time, and
was a complete vindication for Mr..
Behr.
The evidence in the case was all
one-sided. After it was introduced
by the district attorney, W. L.
Boatright, and his assistant, Fred
l.. Collom, the attorney for the
defense, Harold Fl Healey of Den
yer, made short argument, in
which he complimented the dis
trict attorneys office for its fair
ness in this unusual case and asked
for speedy verdict of acquittal
for the defendant. The district
attorney did not wish to argue the
case.
The jury was as follows: s. M.
Smith, foreman, G. E. Dickinson,
A. W. Loetfler, August Nordstorm,
VIM. Winter, Eric Sarin, A. T.
Swanson, Paul Guanella, VIM.
Avery, George Marie, Wm. Keast.
and Wheeler Boyd.
Mr.. Behr said to a representa-
of the Siftings-News this morning
that considerable additional evil
dence could have been introduced
in defense of his action in shooting
Adams, but the prosecution seem-
ed as much convinced as every body
else that killing was justifable,
that it was not necessary to put up
a greater defense. In a way it
would have been in Mr. Behr's
favor had this been done, as this
fellow Adams was such a disrup-
table fellow that il could have been
shown that Behr was only doing
his duty in removing him. Behr
simply did his duty in killing him,
as man who carries big gun, a
big knife and all the other artillery
that bad man carries, aud who
with that equipment attempts to
kill a police officer and terrorizes
the community with his wild ac-
tions in handling his fire arms, is
District Attorney W. l.. Boat
right and Deputy District Attor-
ney Fred L. COLON are being
complimented by all who attended
the trial for their fairness in the
case, and in giving Mr.. Behr q
square deal, as well as giving a
pleasant ending to a most disa-
greeable event in the history Of
Idaho Springs.
