 When the foreman Of the jury an- nounced the verdict last evening Judge Taylor said:
 Gentlemen. that Is just verdict. Let me tell you another case that occurred about n year ago, In which the father did not take the law into his own hands. Instead he went to the police and told them that his seven- year old daughter had been abused by a man who had enticed her into the rear Of store. The police told this father that he could not get convic- ton on the mere story Of girl. They told him 1t was necessary to catch the man in the act.
 The father finally agreed to have the daughter meet this man again in the rear of the same store, where two policemen had been planted and these policemen saw everything that occur

 The judge then told the jury that he had been giving the sbordano case serious consideration all day and had gone so far as to consult three As- sistant District Attorneys and two Su- preme Court justices about it.
 These three officials of the Dis trict Attorneys office. whose names am not at liberty 10 mention told me they would have been crazed under similar circumstances, and the two Supreme Court justices also said that they too would have been crazed by an experience of that kind.
 Again, gentlemen, l wish to say that believe your verdict this evening was just one."

STATE ACCEPTS
MIDLAND HIGHWAY

G. B. Lans' ng, of Colorado Springs,
one of the members of the State High
way commission, was in Glenwood the
first of the week and made a trip to
Mast for the purpose of inspecting the
Colorado Midland grade and the work
now being done on the same by Harry
Blue and his crew of workmen.
The Midland route has now been
taken over by the highway commission
and given a number designation and is
therefore recognized as state high
way, even though there is not at pres
ent any state money available for the
project.
The work of putting the roadbed in
order from Mast to Ivanhoe is progress
sing nicely un1er Harry Blues direc-
tion, and it is believed that the Lead
vile people will see to it that similar
work between Leadville and the east
portal of the big tunnel will be fin
ished yet this fall. On this, point G..
M. Keck is in receipt of a letter from
g. M. Spangler, secretary of the Lead
vile Lions club, from which The Post
is pleased to quote the following:
"1n regard to the work from
Leadville to the east portal Of tAe
tunnel, we have been assured by
our county commissioners that n,
road equipment will be put on this
lob at once and that the road
will be in shape by the time the
west side is completed.'
Sounds good, doesn't it? I'd say.

THE RIGHT end
OF THE TELEPHONE

Under the above title the current
number of The Country Gentleman
prints an article with which you may
or may not agree, having reference to
the peddling of fruits and vegetables
and other farm products by the pro-
ducers to the residents of towns and
cit es. Regardless of your views on
the subject, it must be admitted that
much valuable time is given by farm
ers to the house to house sale of their
products, and many have wondered if
the growers would not be much better
off to devote this time to the cultiva-
tion and care of their crops, leav-nS
the d stribution to the merchants who
can deliver them to the ultimate cum
sumers, who can make these deliveries
much cheaperr than IS possible by the
growers themselves. The matter is at
least worthy of some thought and con.
s'deration. Here is the Country Gen
'lcman article:

ORGANIZED LABOR
TO CUT POLITICS

Portland, Ore, Oct. 9.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor went on rec
ord emphatically today against launch
ing into the political field through the
formation of a separate labor party.
The convention here, by vote of
25,O66 yes, as against 1895 no, 1,6lS
not voting, approved a report of the
resolutions committee which recon-
mended reject on of four resolutions
proposing participation in politics as
an organized independent party.
After a debate in which the Soviet
government of Russia was attacked
and defended, the convention this eve
ming rejected resolution proposing
that the federation urge the govern
ment of the United States to take steps
leading to resumption of trade rela-
tions with Russia and eventual recog.
nition of the Russian government.
Pardons for Thomas W Mooney and
Warren X. Billings were asked in an
other resolution adopted by the con-
vention this afternoon. The resolution
adopted concurred in resolution of
the International Moulders' union urg-
ing that Governor Friend w. Richard
son of California be asked to pardon
the prisoners.

painful injury Monday evening when
she mashed the second finger of her
right hand.
She was leaving the Heberling resi-
dence in North Glenwood, and, find
ing that the starter in their Ford sedan
was not in working order, she pushed
the ear around so that it was headed
downhill and gave it slight push and
started to get n the machine. AS she
grasped the front door of the machine
her finger was caught by the chill
dren's swing rope and held so that the
weight of the car was thrown against
the finger in the door and she was un-
able to move until help came and re-
leased the finger which was found to
be so badly mashed that Mrs. Heber-
ling was taken to the Glenwood sani-
tarium where the end of the finger
was amputated.

The government mine rescue crew
that was fighting the fire in the Book

accident an hour after the explosion,
members of the rescue squad wearing
helmest entered the mine and located
four bodies. One body was removed
and it is hoped to get the others to-
night.
Jim Benda, the other miner in the
workings at the time of the explosion,
was badly burned. He crawled three
quarters of mile through the smoke
and gas to safety. 1t is said that he
will recover.
The usual force at the Midwest
mine is forty men, but only short
cleanup crew was at work today su-
perintendent Scott had entered the
mine on an inspection trim
The explosion wrecked the mine bad
ly, it is said. The mine entry is far
up on the side of Grand Mesa, above

All the bodies tonight had been re.
covered with the exception of R. c.
