CITIZENS PROTEST

UNDER ARREST
Mass Meeting at Masonic
Hall Attended By Many
Citizens of County.

1t is doubtful if a mass meeting
ever held in this city before served a
better purpose than the one held
late Monday afternoon in Masonic hall,
The meeting was attended by men
many as 500 present. There were peo-
pie here from Healdtcn and Wilson
and the oil fields as well as many
citizens of Ardmore.
The request was made that no in
flammatory speeches be made and
the meeting transacted business with
out excitment and without undue at
tempts at oratory designed to promote
excitement or stir up anger.
Committee Visits Jail
A committee OF citizens went 10 the
jail and had talk with the prisoners.
/ The men in Jail stated that they were
being cared for and that visit set
at nought the many runners that these
men have been imposed upon. They
are allowed counsel and are permit

sizes were discovered by the mass meet.
ing and relief of the tension came
as a result OF the investigation that
was made.
The meeting made protest against
holding these men in jail. Numerous
instances We're cited where others had
been charged with murder in this
county and where those charged had
not seen inside OF a Jail Bonds were
allowed and the officers had managed
TO have all papers ready for sigma
lures. they said. but in the case now
before the people men have been
placed in jail and the officers are
moving slowly toward examining trials
and bonds are not allowed until the
trials are held.
Champion Predicts Liberty
j. H. Champion made the state
ment in the mass meeting that he had
been employed as counsel by one or
more of the men. that he had confer
red with them, that they would waive
examining trial end would sue out
writ of hsbeas corpus if bail was
not agreed upon and that before many
days his clients would be at liberty.
A resolution was offered asking
that committee of citizens consisting
of from ten TO fifty be named TO go
to Oklahoma City to confer with the
governor to ask the chief executive
for relief. The mass meeting did not
say just what relief 1t was asking
for but the matter was left largely
in the hands of the committee. These
men were also asked TO see the at
torney general and 10 request him to
file in this county whatever proceed

mony gathered here by the investiga-
ton made by that office into affairs

 Concentrates Shipped

The first shipment of concen- trates ever sent down Portland can al went out on the Albert yesterday afternoon, consisting of l60 tons and currently reported to be worth between $500 and $2000 a ton, which would make this cargo worth quarter of million dollars or more.

Another High-grade
 Shoot on Fish Creek

By tracing one of his leads across the hill from where 1t crops on SkOOkum creek, John HovlaAd has uncovered what promises to be the most important find of high grade ore he has yet discovered on his Fish creek group. Where exposed by the creek the lead is about four feet in width, and a tunnel driven in about fifty feet shows that if continues strong into the hill, the ore all being of good milling grade Where uncovered above during the past week, the whole lead appears to be solid ore of shipping grade, carrying galena and chalcopyrite. Not enough suBface work has been done as yet to determine the length of this ore shoot, but Mir. Hovland will resume work upon it after he has finished his assessment work on the Unicorn group and Morning claim on the Canadiah side.
 A shoot of high grade mentioned several weeks ago as having beer discovered on the brow of the hill on the west side of Fish creek and a short distance above his cabin, is being developed by means of tun- nel which he is driving on the lead and which has reached a lateral depth of about 55 feet. In the face of the tunnel the ore IS commenc- ing to show up strong and he ex. poets before fall to have consid- erable tonnage of ore blocked out and to commence making ship ments before the snow flies, The lead, where exposed on the surface by open cuts, is four feet in width, with IA inches of pay shoot, the balance being good mill feed,
 The original group consists of five claims, to which has been add. ed Pete Lowe's Bishop of Utah claim, which has one of the biggest showings of the district, in fact. Pete says you can catch trout on the foot wall and shoot goats on the hanging. The gpoup is admir- ably situated from a shipping stand point, being little moSe than one mile from the wagon road, with which it is connected by the gov ernment trail just completed. For this reason it will not be necessary to sort down to such high values as must be done on more inaoees. sible properties, and anything as- saying $250 or better will go into the sacks. Besides being pioneer prospector of the district, Mir. Hoy land is an expert assayer with 6 completely equipped plant, and is in a position to keep thoroughly posted oh the ore of his properties.

IDAHO HAS HIGH-GRADE ORE

George Mehlfelh was down for the week end from the north fork of the Marmot wheps he and Clay Porter are working on their proper ty, bringing samples for assay of two characters of ore, one showing almost solid steel galena, with a very fine grain, and the otheV con- taining steel galena and what ap- pears to be iron oxide. The form CT went 902 ounces in silver and the latter 620 ounces. This makes seven assays they have taken since they started their tunnel, and the average content per ton ill silver has been 710 ounces. The average gold content has been $2, with one sample running $16, The ore has not been tested for lead, but from its appearance it should carry suf- ficient quantity Of this metal to pay all expenses Of mining and ship. ping.
 The tunnel, which is following the lead. has reached a lateral depth of 65 feet and q vertical depth of about 50 feet. At present the shoot of high-grade is about foot in width, but there is a considerable additional tonnage of milling ore being developed. The tunnel is drifting toward an enlargement of the vein which shows high values on che surface. There area num- Der of other leads on the group, some of which show good ore,

ENGINEER LOOKING GOOD

George Bum was down this week from his Engineer group of three claims on the south fork of the Mattnot, with some fine specimens pf ore which is coming into the lace of the tunnel he is driving, which has reached a vertical depth on the lead of over 25 feet. The tunnel does not determine the width of the lead, and orosscuts will be ruin for this purpos after tnore depth has been attained. The samples show galena and copper.

SERIOUS DAMAGE
10 COUNTY ROADS

The heavy rains of last Wednesday,
in addition to playing havoc with the
Glenwood water supply system, did
serious damage to public roads through
out the county, the damage being suf-
ficient to entail heavy expense upon
the county. The county commissioners
have been forced by lack of funds to
abandon their program for road con-
struction, but maintenance work must
be given attention, and the recent
storms have made considerable emerg-
ency work necessary.
The roads between here and Rifle
and especially between Glenwood and
New Castle, were badly damaged, max.
ing travel very heavy. Wednesday q
big rain caused bad slide, covering
both the D. & R. G. road and the coun.
ty highway near the Hardwick bridge,
making travel either way impossible
until the debris had been cleared away
The train returning from Aspen was
unable to get past this point and was
obliged to back up to Carbondale and
remain all night, Notwithstanding it
carried eight cars Of lambs bound TO,
the eastern market.

BOOTLEGGERS IN
COUNTY COURT

The county court has been in SEES
sion since Wednesday Of this week and
has been kept busy trying bootlegging
cases.
The first to be brought up for trial
wa:t.the case of Walter Kerlee of
Grand Valley, who was arrested the
first part Of May by Undersheriff
Winters on the charge of having liquor
in his possession, and of manufactur-
ing the same. Some difficulty was had
in selecting a jury and special
venire was necessary before the requi-
site six men could be selected. Con-
siderable testimony was given to show
guilt, but the jury brought in verdict
of not guilty.
The case Of Frank Stapp, who was
arrested in his room on July "a, after
considerable liquor was found in his
possession was heard Thursday morn
ing, but before the trial had progressed
very far Mr.. stapp pied guilty. Judge
Bell thereupon imposed fine of 5000
and costs and six months' Jail SEN
tence, the latter being suspended upon
the condition that the defendant leave
the county within the next seven days
and remain away for years time.
The case Of Tom Harmon, who was
arrested Strawberry day, June 10, for
having liquor in his possession, was
tried Thursday afternoon and the Jury
brought in verdict of "not guilty"
and released the defendant.
The last case is that of Ed Starr,
who on July 26 was arrested at his
home in this city after several barrels
of mash and quantity Of the fin
ished product had been found ON his
premises. The case is being tried as
The Post goes to press and consdera'
BILE evidence has been given, showing
that Mr.. Starr had been manufactur-
ing liquor.
