WHIP SENTENCED
TO PEM|1EMT|lRY

John E. Whip. well known Gunni-
son resident, accussed of unnameablc
crimes against little girls, was sent
enced in district court Monday morn
ing to not less that three nor more
than four years in the penitentiary.
Whipp was convicted at the, April
term of court, but his attorney, Sam
Crump, has been fighting TO secure a
new trial. This was denied by Judge
Logan, who examined the briefs filed
by Crump and also the authorities
furnished by c. H. Stone and District
Attorney Lee Burgess.
There were few remarks made by
the prosecution when the case came
up for final determination Monday
morning, but Mr.. Crump continued
his arguments, and Whipp, before be-
ing sentenced, insisted upon his in
nocence.
A stay of execution was granted for
sixty days, during which time Whipp
and his attorney will take the case to
the supreme court, applying for a
writ of supersedeas and asking that
bail be granted. Judge Logan has re-
fused bail for Whip, who is man
sixty-five years Of age.

EDITOR RAWALT
FACES CHARGES

This morning complaint was filed
against C. 7. Rawalt of the Gunnison
Empire, before Police Magistrate Pot
ter and a warrant issued for his ar
rest. He was charged with carrying
concealed weapons, the specific Of
fense being that Of going to the Dem
ocratic county convention last Satur-
day with shooting weapon concealed
on his person. He will be tried before
the city police court first, and is
liable to fine of 500 and Jail SEN
tence if found guilty. 1t is likely
that he will then have to answer for
violating the state law, also, and the
fine for that may be any amount up
to $500. The "gun-totin' days Of this
country are supposed to be ancient
history now, and this attempt on the
part Of Mr.. Rawalt to revive the GUS
tom does not seem to be meeting with
a very favorable reception from law
abiding citizens Of the community.

BIC MINES TO

New Road into Taylor
Park Makes Opera
ton Feasible Again
By Lowering Trans
portation Costs.

After trip to Western Colorado on
business matters, I. L. Johnson re-
turned yesterday to his operations at
the Gold Cup mine above Tin Cup.
Mr.. johnson states that conditions are
very favorable now for reopening this
famous old producer on large scale,
and returning it to the ranks Of first
class mines Of Colorado which II had
in the early eighties when the Gold
Cup and Jimmy Mack, close by, had n
reputation Of having produced four
million in bullion from within 800
feet OF the surface.
Since June first, the Gold Cup Mines
and Production Company has been
working five or six men in cleaning
up the old workings and placing the
tunnel in shape for prospecting. The
slopes are being opened and con-
nection is contemplated between the
Gold Cup and Jimmy Mack properties
SO that both can be operated from one
plant.
The new road into Taylor park is
responsible for this development. vince
without it transportation costs were
prohibitive both for supplies and for
ore. Mr.. johnson estimates that II is
only % miles from the mine to the
railroad at Almont, and all down
hill water grade. This renders 1t
feasible to work many of the mines

State Conventions On
In Denuer This Week

~
The Democratic state convention is
being held in Denver today with pros
poets Of Governor William E. Sweet
receiving the great majority of the
convention for primary designation.
There has been some talk OF Ben Hill
lard Of Denver as an ultra-radical t.
oppose him.
Alva B. Adams Of Pueblo will un-
doubtedly receive the designation for
long term senator, and probably Nor
rison Shafroth for short term. Can
didates for positions on the state
ticket are numerous and 1t is useless
to predict the outcome in advance.
Wayne Williams, present attorney
general, is probably sure of leading
the field, and Mrs. Mary C. C. Brad
ford is nearly always nominated by
Democratic conventions and elected in
coming Novembers.

Colorado by giving the bulk Of its
votes for two leading candidates, those
of governor and short term senator to
Western Slope men, Lieut. Governor
Robert F. Rockwell took down 684
votes, to 312 for Judge Morley Of
Denver, and 81 for Earl Cooley. The
latter did not get on the ballot. Harry
Mulnix, perpetual Republican office
holder as either state treasurer OF
auditor, also failed to secure the nee
essary ten per cent and will not ap-
pear on the ballot. His compatriot
Arthur M. Stong, got 1l2 votes and
so barely secured place. The seven
