MRS. Matte GILMAN
HELD WITHOUT BOND

In the district court last Monday
Mrs. Matte Gilman was arraigned on
a charge Of numbering her husband,
Jacob Gilman, at their ranch home on
Roam creek March 10. She entered .
plea of not guilty and was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff, without
boad. y
Wednesday she was again brought
before the court, with view Of hav-
ing the case set for trial. Mr.. Mayes,
appearing for the defendant, said it
would be impossible for the defense to
appear for trial next week, when the
jury is to be in Glenwood.
Judge Shumate said there were se-
rious objections to postponing the trial
to q date later than was necessary,
and on motion of Judge Bell, repre-
senting District Attorney Delaney, for
a speedy trial, the case was set to fol-
low the criminal cases set for March
81, although Judge Shumate indicated
that with proper showing he might
grant some continuance, but he made it
very plain that he did not intend under
any circumstances to admit the defend
ant to bail.

COUNTY sPE11INa AND
oRAT0RIOAL CONTEST

Nelba Hendricks Of Canon creek won
in the county spelling contest held at
the grade school in Glenwood Springs
last Saturday while Virginia Smith Of
Atchee is winner in the oratoriesl
contest.
All of the centers we're represen 'el
in the spelling, there being six ccntest-
ants, but Atchee was the only center
to enter contestant for the oratorical
contest. The reason for this lack OF
interest in the oratorical contest was
due to the inappropriate topic chosen
for child g oration.
1t is interesting to know that the
teachers Of each of the winners are
Glenwood young people and much cred
it is due them for their faithful drill
ing. The Canon creek teacher is Miss
Evangeline Moore, graduate of Gar

Sheriff Winters about moonshine

LowR1 PRoDucT1oN COST
IHnoUGH USE OF PASTURE

No single factor in the feeding Of
dairy cows In the summer time is as
important as good pasture. In large
aress Of Colorado the native pastures
are entirely inadequate for summer
milk produetaon and to meet the sum-
mer feed problem the most economical
practice will be found in the estab-
lishment Of permanent irrigated pas
ture grass mixture whenever it is at
all possibls.
A mixture of Is lbs. awnless bronze
grass, 15 lbs. orchard grass, 10 lbs
meadow fescue, 6 lbs. timothy and 4
lbs. ysllow blossom sweet clover to the
acre win, If carefully grown while
young, devslop into a pasture that
win eszry from one and one-half to
two COWS To the acre throughout the
summer and fall months.
This mixture can be sown with a
light nurse crop Of grain. Tho grass
seeds should be broadcasted and es-
pecial cafe exercised in order to get a
good early stand.
With 3 mixture as shown above,
with Light variations, depending upon
different coil conditions, large labor
bin can be saved in the summer
months and excellent feed furnished
during the early fall months when the
native grass is short and dried out and
whsA cream demands higher price.
Plan now to sow good pasture for
the cow this spring.-H. B. Lascelles,
Fieldman for the State Dairy Commits

A GREAT SUCCESS

The minstrel show given at the

that it is such worthy undertaking,
the people patronized it most literally.

coronsr's Jury Determines
Cause on Testimony Of
Eye Witness
ASSIGN NO PURPOSE

Alleging that J. A. Gilman came to
his death by gunshot wound from q
gun in the hands Of his wife, Matte
Gilman, at their home on Conn creek
on Wednesday, March 10, 1924, jury
failed to determine whether the killing
was felonious or justifiable, but simply
passed on the cause OF death, after
hearing the testimony of two witnesses,
one of whom was an eye witness to the
fatal shooting, and the other who at
tended Gilman just before his death.
The inquest over the body of Jake
Gilman was held at Farnum' s mortuary
last Friday afternoon, before DE-. L. G.
Clark, county coroner.
The first witness sworn was George
Bernard, man past middle age, who
testified he had been working at the
G. II. Conwen ranch, about four miles
distant from the Gilman ranch. He
said week ago Sunday he had gone
to the Gilman ranch, to cabin in the
Gilman yard, where he made his head
quarters when not at work. He had
gone there to change his clothes and
do some washing.
The quarrel between Jake and his
wife apparently started that day. On
Wednesday it was intensified to such
an extent that about noon Jake camo
to the door of Bernard Is cabin and
asked if he might come in and get
some dinner, saying his wife would not
would she get him anything to eat.
Bernard told him to come in and help
himself, and suggested that while Jake
was cooking his dinner he might put
on an extra piece of meat for him
lBernard).
When Gilman had finished cooking
the meat, and while he yet held ths
skillet in his hand, Mrs. Gilman ap-
preached in threatening manner, and
carrying gun. AS she approached the
open door Gilman said "Oh, you poor
fool, you couldn't shoot anybody;
everybody knows you couldn't shoot
anybody Just then Mrs. Gilman
raised the gun and shot, and what wss
apparently q bone from Gilmans s4ats
tered arm struck Bernard on the head.
Witness said he caught Gilman = -
tell, and laid him on rug.
Mrs. Gilman then went back to her
house and Bernard quickly followed
and told her her husband was badly
wounded and wanted doctor, and
witness asked her il he might cone into
house aud use the telephone to call .
doctor. She replied that he could not
come nor could anyone else come into
her house. He then asked her to call
a doctor, which he believed she did.
DR.. G. A. Hopkins told Of attending
Gilman after he had been brought to
Glenwood, and several hours after the
shooting. He said the man was suf-
fering from severe shock; he found two
wounds, one in the right forearm, and
the other in the back, to the left Of the
spinal column whore the bullet went in,
and two gashes where the bullet came
out. Apparently the same bullet shat
tered the right arm.
In response to question from Dis
trict Attorney Delaney, DR.. Hopkins
said death was due to hemmorrhaSe.
Asked if the wound would have been
Latal il given attention soon after T.;
shooting, witnes. said that was .

mony in the case was composed Of y.

Some city motorists feel resent

heat of the city's paved streets, only
to find the injunctiont, mo Tres

letters on a sign.
And it is a situation that could
have been avoided if some unthink-

Thus the many have to suffer for

Farmers have been put to con-

frequently serious damage has been
done by the offenders against COM

Some people have little scruples in
taking possession of a cool, inviting

gaining permission from the owner.
They spread their lunch and enjoy
it in the open woods, but defile the
grounds by leaving remains of food,

Often they start fires under trees
that kill the lower branches,

and initials in the bark, and oc-

Most farmers do not object to the

woods, but rightfully resent visits of
depredators. Campers should re-
frain from cutting fences, be careful
of fires, return all waste papers,
remains of edibles, and cans to their
own garbage cans, and remove the
cans off the property. In other
words, leave the property in as good

ing destroyed by John J. Blaine of
Boscobel In his greed to build up
a political machine to elevate him
self, Blaine has sacrificed the princi-
pies that elevated him to office.
Gle drove from him most of the
pioneer Progressives and surrounded
himself with men and women who
are subservient to him instead of to
the Progressive Cause.
"He established a vicious prinei-
pie, destructive of representative
government. He did this by not only
unfolding the Emergency Fund Law,
and by entrenching it with a judicial
ruling. That law permits two
state official to reach into the
treasury of the state, without a
public hearing, and thus spent the
taxpayers money with the sky the
limit. The law was passed by a
reactionary governor, was once con
demned by Gov. Blaine, and is now
used to spend the public's money
without legislative sanction. Under
that law, he and the State Treasurer
voted thousand of dollars for
different state institutions without
the knowledge of the people or the
j consent of the legislature.
"He was responsible for the de-
feat Of the waterpower bill. That
bin was the beginning of superpower
development in Wisconsin. 1t was
in keeping with the republican
platform pledge which declared for
conservation Of natural resources
and which would result in cheaper
electric current to the home, the
farm and the factory. His floor
leader in the Assembly, who was re-
warded with a lucrative political
job. took part in the assassination
of that progressive bill.
Before he was elected, he was
opposed to a militaristic program.
After election he became so militar-
istic that he received public praise
at the hands of Gen. King.
"The labor program had no sup
port from him,
Before election he promised the
people more equitable tax law.
After election he "blew up" He
blamed his 1921 failure on reac-
tionary legislature. He blamed his
1923 failure on a progressive legis-
lature. The truth of the matter is
that he never intended to pass a tax
law.
IF only a small part of the
charges that are made against the
Blaine administration are true, it is
so fficient to drive him from public
office. If he were a real Pro-
gressive he would not permit that
cloud to hang over his party, he
would invite, instead of fight, an
investigation of his administration.
His big achievement has been
the building up of a political ma
chine to further his own interests
at the expense of the people of this
state As failure he has been a
success.
ITO preserve the ideals that Bob
Lapollette gave to the people of
Wisconsin, l appeal to true Pro-
gressives, to retire John ]. Blaine to
private life"
