GRASSELLY IS
PARDoNED AGAIN
Special Messenger Bears
Governors Second Release
Order to Arson Convict
TWO MORE SENTENCED

Justice as she is administered from
the Capitol building in Denver had
another inning last Friday when a
special messenger arrived in Eagle
bearing document which he delivered
to Sheriff Murray Wilson, the message
being second pardon by Governor
Sweet for Gilbert Grasselly, recently
tried by jury in Eagle county, con-
victed on two charges of arson and
malicious mischief and sentenced by
Judge Bouck to one to one and half
years in the penitentiary on the arson
charge and ninety days in the county
Jail for the minor offense. zee.
AS related in The Post last week,
Governor Sweet Immediately issued
pardon for Grasselly, and he was re-
leased, only to be rearrested shortly
afterwards on a mittimus issued on
Judge Bouck's order, and was again
committed to serve out the Jail SEN
tence.
AS soon as Governor Sweet was ap-
prised of what had happened he issued
another pardon for Grasselly, and as
soon as the special messenger from
Denver placed the document in the
hands of Sheriff Wilson of Eagle
county, the latter came at once to
Glenwood and handed the anticipated
paper to Sheriff Winters who released
Grasselly from custody, and thus are
we furnished with another example of
the governor IS recent boast to the eff
feet that he was more competent to
judge of man s guilt or innocence
than the presiding judge, the district
attorney and the jurors called and
sworn to hear the evidence and decide
the case.
With regard to Redmon and Hollis,
two Eagle county prisoners in our
county Jail, charged with the recent
burglary of the Dunn pool hall at Ea-
gle, the guilt of which act the boys
acknowledged after being caught with
the goods, Sheriff Wilson said before
incurring any further expense he was
tempted to wire Governor Sweet and
ask for orders in regard to these pris-
oners. However, he took the lads Sat
urday morning to Eagle where they
both plead guilty and were sentenced
by Judge Bouck to from one to ton
years in the reformatory at Buena
Vista, and they are now inmates Of
that state institution, and it's now
the governors move.

Western Slope
Sheepmen Meet

The Western Slope Woolgrowers' as
sociation held their annual meeting at
Rifle last Monday, about twenty-five
members being in attendance. Super
visors Blair Of the White River forest
and Richey Of the Holy Cross forest
were present by invitation Of the as
sociation.
The members voted an assessment of
a cent and . half head ON the num-
ber Of sheep that run ON the range,
for the purpose of keeping up the trail
from New Castle to the grazing
grounds on the flattops. They also
voted in favor Of the employment Of
stray man or inspector to inspect
the herds At shipping time, for the
purpose Of cutting out stray sheep that
do not belong to the shipper, and re-
turning them to the owner.
At present the railroad freight rate
for sheep is based ON = minimum Of
$4,000 pounds, but the sheepmen want
this reduced to 10000 pounds for a
36-foot car, and went on record to that
effect.
The freight rate from Mack to Glen
wood common points Is $3.50, since a

recent arbitrary advance by the rail-
road company. The association will
seek to have the old rate Of $3.50
put into effect again.
There has been some complaint tho
past year in regard to the damage
done the public roads by bands Of
sheep being driven over them, loosen
ing and rolling rocks and dirt down
from the mountainside and thus, to .
certain extent, multiplying the good
work done by the road workmen and
overseers. Some Of the sheepmen com.
planned that they had received letters
from road overseers which practically
amounted to an assessment for dam
ages done to the roads in driving the
sheep over the highways. The men
say if they owe anything for losses
caused by their sheep, they are will
ing and ready to settle but they OBJ
ject to what appears to them to b
personal and unauthorized duns.
A committee composed of J. 8.
Hum, @. W. Fravert and Jake Esche
was appointed to take this matter up
with the county commissioners Of Gar
field and Eagle counties.
The old question Of the proper rsgu-
lation and Of authority over the pub
lie domain came up and wac discussed
at some length, and the associatioa
unanimously passed resolution urg-
ing that all public domain be put under
the permanent control Of the national
forestry department.

suited as follows: E. McLearn, pres
ident; Frank Haley, vice president,

JUDGE BOUCk TO
HOLD SESSION HERE

An interesting case was heard last
Saturday in the county court by Judge
Bell and a jury of three, when G. j. 8.
Hoover brought suit to collect the
value of horse which had been struck
by j. W. Douthitt on the public high
way near the Hoover ranch and SO
badly injured that it was necessary to
shoot the animal, which was done by
Hoover's orders.
After the introduction of considera-
BILE testimony, the jury returned YER
diet in favor of Hoover for $125 and
costs Of suit, which is generally con-
ceded to be a good "hoss trade" for
Hoover. The defendant gave notice of
appeal to the district court.

eithe- timber thieves or fire maniacs
who start forest fires.
Forest fires also are caused by rail
roads passing through wooded sections,
campers who carelessly let their fires
burn after they have left them, and by
smokers who leave their cigars or ci-
garettes burning, after they have toss
ed them aside.
Trapping of predatory animals, in
cooperation with the United States
biological survey, also is part Of the
rangers duties. He generally carries
several small traps with him when
making the rounds of his district.
Wolves, lynxes, bobcats and coyotes
fall prey to his skill and craft.
The taking Of grazing applications
by homesteaders for the coming sum-
mer is another of his duties. He must
attend meetings of stockmen in his dis
trict and receive their applications for
permits to use government land for
grazing purposes. To attend these
meetings the ranger sometimes is fore
ed to travel long distances through
snow and bad weather. He generally
rides his horse, although frequently he
is able to make use of an automobile.
For weeks and months at time the
ranger is separated from his family,
which he generally leaves in small
town near his territory, 50 that the
children may attend school during the
winter. He builds himself shack or
cabin and stocks it up with firewood,
lays in a supply of food a4d makes
this his headquarters.
He is ofttimes showed in for days
at time! During this time he reads
and studies books, those on surveying
geometry, forest management and such
types. He makes good use of the time
when he is obliged to stay indoors and
cannot get outside to attend to his
regular occupations.

BASKET BALL TEAMS
TO MESA COUNTY

The Garfield County High school
basketball teams, accompanied by
Principal Keena, coach, Miss Walker
and Leonard Reeves, left on the noon
train today for Grand Junction where
they will battle with the Tigers and
Tigresses on the Grand Junction floor
tonight.
This promises to be an exciting game
and the results will mean much to the
Western Slope championship, which
the G. @. H. 8. girls won last year and
which the g. G. II. 8. boys lost to the
Tigers.
On Friday night the local teams will
play the Fruita teams, and as both
have strong teams it is hoped they will

Rangers Life Not
Easy In Winter

The duties of forest rangers during
the long, hard months Of the winter,
when snow covrs the ground, and
travel is rendered extremely difficult,
are very arduous. Little credit is Civ
en- the small army of men who spend
the months from October to June in
isolated places, far from the ease and
luxury Of civilization and the comforts
Of their homes.
One of the principal duties Of the
rangers during the winter is to con-
duct timber sales. These take place
wherever the growth Of the forests
and the abundance Of timber permit.
Many persons buy their years supply
of wood for kindling at these sales.
Then, in conjunction with the United
States weather bureau, many snow
boards are placed in out.of-the-way
spots to measure the fall Of snow and
the amount Of water, stored up in the
snow drifts, which will be available for
irrigation after the spring freshets
have set in. The rangers make read
ings from these boards, the results Of
their work being sent to the district
office of the weather bureau in Den
YER where tabulations are kept and re-
ports sent out to the farmers Of the
state.
The snow-boards are generally locat-
cd in such isolated places that it is
necessary to use snowshoes and some
times skis in order to reach their des-
tinations. In many instances they are
quite distant from any habitation, and
frequently IL IL the case that the
rangers are snowbound for several days
and even weeks.
Each ranger, in addition to his other
duties, is deputy state game warden,
and has the duties Of this position to
take care Of. He always must Be on
the lookout for violators Of the law,
