Sent to the Senate, the action of the House was tabled. Then there fol- lowed the introduction in the Senate of a, new civil service bill drawn by a member of and approved by the civil service commission.
 The proposed bill provides for cer- tain exemptions, application. however, to be made first to the commission dl- rect The Senate referred the bill to the committee on the evil administra- tive code. while the House sent it to the judiciary committe. There was a deadlock for a time until the Senate receded and concurred with the House and referred the bil Ito the Ju- dietary.

 Nearly five hundred men, including many of the party leaders in the state attended the dinner to do honor to the memory of President Mckinley whose birthday anniversary was on Saturday.
 The governor looked to Connecticut courage, he said, to blaze the way over the difficult trail to a full realization of the fruits of the reconstruction period, just as the courage of our own 1O2d Cnncticut at Seicheprey showed that the American boy was the best fighting machipe in the world He said he expected to see new prosperity iY America about the fourth of March.

SLACK METHOD IN CHECKING
 BILLS

A public hearing by the Board of Apportionment and Taxation on budgets last night disclosed unbusi- nessIike methods of the city in fail ing to check up on it's annual $780, 900 expenditure to the United Hum mating company for municipal light ing. The presentation of the pudget for the lamp committee and its thor ough discussion showed that no ac:: curate or regular system is employed to account for the number or nShlS used for the tune ana localioh ol new lights
 The regular bills of the lighting company setting forth in detail new lights installed and old lights usea comprise practically the only prooI in the hands of the city fathers that they are receiving Just return Aol their expenditure.
 To rectify the slack business meth ods Assistant City Clerk Robert Jones was instructed to communicate with the United Illuminating company ana secure full details of transactions for | the perusual of the Board. Alderman Arthur A. Baker was further in structed to secure the passage Of sat isfactory ordinances to provide TOT an | adequate means of checking the ex- | penditure of the lamp committee. | A deficit of about S4,000 was re- ported in the lamp committees ac- l count owing to the installation ot o4 | new white way lamps and payment of old bills of the previous committee Iapproximating $700. The committee for next year asked the appropriation of $130, ,S65.94.
 A deficit of about s3.o00 was re- 1 ported by Judge Bartlett in the ac- counts of the City Court, due largely to the transfer of s2,000 to the voting machine account, and to an extra ex- penditure of s1.OoO for the liquor prosecuting attorney, a result of pro-
 hibition enforcement.
 The budget for the registrar of
 voters will be about doubled this year due to the additional work resulting
 from the participation of women in | elections.
 Public hearings were also held or the budgets of the city attorney, city engineer, Probate court, registrar o1 voters, building commissioners, har-
 bor master, sealer of weights and

TO SELL THE ARMORY

Last Tuesday Adjutant General Pat
Hamrock and j. l.. Moorehead, private
secretary to Governor Oliver Ii. Sheup,
visited Gienwood for the purpose of
considering the bids received for the
Glenwood armory, in the hope that they
might negotiate sale Of the property.
They were somewhat secretive as to
the details of their mission, although
they admitted that the bids thus far
received were not very satisfactory.
The presence of these gentlemen in
our city served to emphasize the re-
gret that our people had not been more
active toward perfecting military
company for Glenwood, and thus main
tanning this building and unit Of the
fedral militia in this city at public
expense.
The state has surely been very leni-
snt with US in giving us ample timo
to consider the matter, and since we
have not met the reasonable terms i'm
posed upon US, it appears that the sale
of the building to private parties Is
inevitable.

who few weeks ago was assaulted at
his ranchhome on Capitol creek, died
last Monday night at the Glenwood
sanitarium from conclusion Of the brain,
presumably as the result Of the blows
inflicted June IS by Jesse Laton with
whom he had trouble over the trespass
of Schinkel's cattle upon Laton g crops.

ly all of the time since the assault,
only in few Instances reaching
conscious or semi-conscious condition.
Deceased leaves four children, three
daughters and a son nine years of age.
Coroner Burdge, who took charge of
the remains, apprised the children by
phone of their fathers death, but they
declared they could do nothing by way
of defraying the funeral expenses.
Therefore, Schinkel is to be buried to-
day as pauper, Pitkin county agree
ing to pay the bill

under bond on charge of assault with
intent to kill, and it is presumed that
ere this he has been taken into Gus

Concerning his experience during the
past week Mr.. Chadwick says he could
not ask for better treatment than that
which has been accorded him and his
family by the good people Of Glenwood
Springs. "Just tell them that we fully
appreciate their kindness and l hope
to be able to thank some Of these good
people personally" is the way Mr..
Chadwick expressed himself to The
Post reporter.
The family had planned to drive
through to Meeker where they have
some friends, and where Mr.. Chadwick
had hoped to find work, but "The
best laid plans OF mice and men gang
aft aglee." But we'll gamble that if
you had as much cause for discourage
ment as has Mr.. Chadwick you would
be far less cheerful than he is.

Sudden Demise Of Joseph
YuIe Causes General Re-
gret in County
AN.EARLY DAY Citizen

One by one the men who blazed the
trail and pioneered the wilderness,
and made the Garfield county of today
a possibility, are passing away and
claiming their reward in a better world.
The report which yesterday morning
greeted our business men as they took
up the hbors of the day, te the effect
that Joseph Yule Of this city, one Of
of the pioneers Of the Garfield creek
section, had passed away at O'Clock,
following an operation in a Denver
hospital for gallstones cast q gloom
over his acquaintances and friends.
Joseph Yule, for many years ono Of
the most substantial ranchmen Of Gar.
field county and owner Of a fine ranch
on Garfield creek, was born in Ash
land county, Ohio, on December 13,
1915. He served his country in the
Civil war, enlisting in Company 1, 40th
Iowa infantry. Following the war he
came with his brother, George, to Colo
rado, the two working together in Gun
nison until 1880. In that year he
formed partnership with John D.
Murray in the ranch and cattle busi-
ness, this partnership continuing for
five years.
In 1889 he was united in marriage
to Miss Maggie Allen of Jasper coun-
ty, Iowa.
At the time of HID death Mr. Yulo

homestead on Garfield creek and had
added enough to the original filing to
make farm Of $50 acres. For the
past six or seven years he has made his
home in Glenwood.

STOCK FREIGHT RATES REDUCED

Last week The Post noted the pres
ence IN Denver of Senator Il. q. Callen
of this county for the purpose of ap
pealing to the officials of the ID. 4 X.
Il. railroad for a reduction in live
stock freight shipments both out of
and into the western slope country.
The stockmen of the west for some
time have maintained that the freight
rates on live stock shipments were ex-
cessive, and claimed that under the
schedule demanded by the railroad
they could not compete with growers
of other sections. The conference with
the railroad officials was held in the
hope of Obvlating the necessity of pre-
senting the matter to the state public
utilities commission and asking for u
ruling on the matter by that body.
The conference was successful, and
the committee secured 90 per cent
reduction from September l to De-
cember /, making the rate 32 cents
per 100 pounds instead of the present
rate of 40 cents. This will mean a
reduction of about $2l car on in
coming stuff and $50 on the outgoing
product of our ranges. 1t is reported
that the stockmen served by the Den
YER l. Salt Lake tMoffat) line will
make request for n similar reduction,
and it is believed they will be success
full in their efforts.

COUNTY DADS HALT SHEEP
BY CLOSING PUBLIC Road

A unique plan for settling cattle
sheep feud was devised Wednesday
morning by the board of county COM
missioners of Rio Blanco county when
they passed resolution vacating an
old established county road over which
several bands of sheep were being driv-
en- to the pastures high up in the noun
tain areas.
One large band of sheep had gotten
by the critical point and were we'll up
toward the grazing areas before the
resolution was passed. It is said that
these sheep will probably not be mo-
Tested. but pust as soon as the order
was made, the action of the commits
sioners was telephoned to men at the
lane where trouble was imminent, and
imediately the lane or roadway was
closed with sheep proof fence.
The weakened sheep which were
forced to halt must now return over
close grazed country, and there is con-
siderable speculation as to what the
owners will do with their flocks, but It
is certain that they will sustain a heavy
loss. Some Of the flockmastsrs made
long detour, putting their ship ON
cars at Craig, shipping them to Yampa,
from which point it is believed they
will be able to reach the grazing
grounds with but little difficulty, and
with little danger of attack from tho
cattlemen.
Supervisor Blair of the White River
forest says the feeling is high between
the sheepmen and the cattlemen, but
he is hoping that further trouble may
be avoided. There is plenty of good
pasture in the high areas which are not
suited to cattle grazing, and the forest
service will continue to grant permits
to the sheepmen who wish to avail
themselves of these areas for their
stock.
