JUROR in FAMOUS PACKER
CASE REVIEWS ITS HISTORY

Herman Mayer of Lake City, is
spending several weeks here looking
after his ranch interests in this
county. Mr.. Mayer is one of the
earliest pioneers of the western slope.
having located at Lake City in the
early gold digging days
He claims the distinction OF being
the only living man who served on the
jury in the famous Alfred Packer case
something over 20 years ago.
1t will be recalled that Packer, who
was employed as government scout,
brought five men to the Lake City
country from Salt Lake City. They
were prospectors. fully equipped and
well provided with money
The party made camp at a point
about two miles south OF Lake City,
at the foot of Gold Hill mountain.
Provisions ran out and the men be
came panicky-frenzied, according to
the story told by Packer, the only
survivor
Some months later Packer appear
ed at Saguache and spent money so
lavishly and told so many conflicting
| stories that suspicion was aroused and
he was jailed. later making his escape.
When the bodies of the party were
discovered a warrant was issued for
Packer and he was arrested in Mon
tana and brought to Lake City for
| trial.
According to his story, there was
in bn 49,
who showed signs OF insanity and had
| made numerous threats against others
| of the party. Packer at the trial, rep
resented that one morning he went up
| onto Gold Hill to see If he could dis
| cover any signs of human habitation.
| and that when he returned, rifle in
hand, this man Swan, was roasting
the arm OF one of his companions over
fire, all four being dead; that when
Swan discovered him (Packer) he at.
tackled him with an axe; that a fierce
struggle ensued in which Swan was
killed by a bullet from Packers rifle:
that he later cooked portion of the
human meat, and left the camp.
His stories were conflicting and by
no means convinced the jury OF his in
nocence and he was convicted, Judge
Gary sentencing him to be hanged at
Lake City. However, 1t was later dis
covered that under the statute he
could not legally be hanged and he
was given another hearing, this time
at Gunnison, and sentenced to the
state pepitentiary, 20 years on each
count, making a total of 100 years
His health broke and he became very
feeble, and was parolled short time
before his death. 1t is said that his
parole would have come sooner had
he not made threat to Judge Gary.
when the latter and his wife called
upon him, that when he was released
he intended to kill off the Judge, the
jury and some of the witnesses
Mr.. Mayer says that he had the
honor Of an invitation to the proposed
Hanging" and that to this day the
rope which had been bought for that
purpose, hangs in the Lake City Jail

Reasons Why Delta Should
Have A Parent-T eachers'
Association Now

l. Parent Teachers association
spells co operation and cooperation
spells achievement.
2. 1t acquaints parents with school
conditions and arouses interest in
the best methods and the best school
equipment.
3. 1t enables parents to become
better acquainted with the teachers
and their problems making possible
more intelligent disposition of criti-
cism carried home by the children.
4. Discipline is no longer a prob
lem when father, mother, and teacher
understand each other and work to-
gether
.. 1t affords an opportunity for
parents to become acquainted with
one another in different way, in the
presence of the teachers. Often mis-
understandings yield to understand
ings as a direct result of such contact
6. Intelligent understanding by par
ents of the school work and methods
used helps to foster loyalty to school
and the teachers efforts are crowned
with success.
Regular meetings of parents and
teachers are time and energy savers.
A parent can assist a teacher as
no one else can, and as they are
brought to see their responsibilities
and privileges as well, they cooperate
with the teacher intelligently.
If parents are in sympathy with
school authorities, desirable reforms
are more ready effected, such as
simple school attire, chaperoning of
social events, over Indulgence in
social activities, etc.
10 Every progressive community is
organized. The united strength of a
group of parents and teachers is
double the strength of an organization
composed exclusively of either. Such
| organizations wherever found are con-
ducive to improved social as we'll as
educational conditions.

and, after a month of it, returned
empty-handed to Port Royal there
to find awaiting them the most dis
quoting news from the Old World.
The megalomania of Louis XIV
had set Europe in a blaze of war.
The French legionaries were
ravaging the Rhine provinces. and
Spain had joined the nations
leagued TO defend themselves from
the wild ambitions Of the King Of
France. And there was worse
than this: there were rumors of
civil war in England, where the
people had grown weary Of the
bigoted tyranny OF King James. It
was reported that William Of
Orange had been invited to come
over.
Weeks passed, and every ship
from home brought additional
news. William had crossed to
England and in March of that year
1889 they learnt in Jamaica that he
had accepted the crown and James
had thrown himself into the arms
Of France for rehabilitation.
To a kinsman Of Sunderland's
this was disquieting news, indeed.
1t was followed by letters from

was VS. with France, and that in

a Governor-General was coming out
to the West Indies in the person Of
Lord Willoughby. and that with
him came a squadron under the
