oently ordered more desks to make room
for the increased attendance.
Good reports come in from the Cres-

TRIED AT fiUNNISON.
-s •
In the District Court at Gunnison last
week Robert Cain, charged with the
murder of Luther Hunt, at Parlin, on
Sept. 14th last, was found guilty of mur-
der in the fret degree, and was senten-
ced to tke penitentiary for life. Cain
and Hunt quarreled over Miss Mary Mc-
Gowan, the fiance of Cain, and she was
an important witness for th'e state, hav-
ing witnessed the shooting. It was
thought at the time that Cain had been
in this vicinity a day or two after the
deed was committf~d, and a deputy sher-
iff from Gunnison county was here look-
ing for him, but he received a dispatch
here that Cain had given himself up to
the sheriff.
James Mahaney, the deputy game
warden, who shot and killed W. A.
Womack Itt the Mesa or Ieatioliffo lakes,
last summer, was also tried and he was
found guilty of manslaugher, but the
court set aside the verdict of the jury on
the ground that the verdict was erron-
eous and incomplete in not defining the
act of manslaughter as voluntary or in.

SOME LOCAL EVENTS. Rev. McGan. Appreciated in Pueblo.
THE SAfiUACHE BAND. From the church department of the
Pueblo Chieftain we clip the following
We must all admit that a good band is item regarding the Second street M. E.
a desirable organization to have in the church, of that place, Rev. McGann, for-
town, one that gives pleasure to the peo-
ple and an air of life to the place. It
should receive the hearty support of
every citizen. The members of the Sa-
guache band have devoted much time to
practicing during the past year or two
and have always shown a willingness to

The congregations of this church are
decidedly on the increase and will no
doubt grow in numbers and interest un-
der the able and wise ministry of Roy.

take part in any public demonstration
where they were needed, besides giving
many public exhibitions in our park and
on the street, and at the same time they
have had to spend their money for new
music and instruments. They are now
trying to get up a concert to raise money
to troy some new Instruments that are
badly needed and it is hoped that each
resident of the town Will give them
materilil assistance in this undertaking.
We also believe that it would be advisa-
ble and proper for the town board to
erect for their use a stand in the park.
BUILDINfi BOOM.
Saguache i~ enjoying more of a build-
ing boom this fall than we have seen for
several years. J. J. Keller is erecting a
business house on the east side of 4th
itreet. The Spanish speaking Presby-
terian congregation are just complating
a neat and commodious church building.
Mrs. E. Hazard is building a neat frame
house opposite the California barn on
San Juan avenue. Will Worrier has just
completed a nice residence on south
Fifth street, and Jan. Thronburg one on
east Denver avenue. Birt Clare is build-
ing an addition to his residence, on Den-
ver avenue, and J. I. Pahner is erecting
or of the times and for the times. To
hear him is to get something fresh and
helpful.
The subject of the morning's discourse
was: "Submission to the Divine Will,"
when he spoke in admiration of the late
President McKinley, who, in view of all
the greatness and glory of his exalted i
position as chief executive of the na-
tion, could eahnly say, "tie knows best
lhe will of the Lord be done." At night
he preached on "Anarchy, Is It Indigi-
nous to America?" He declared himself
the friend of the poor and oppressed and
loved to take the hand of the laboring
man and plead his cause If need be, was
in favor of the fullest liberty and free-
dom, but It must be liberty that is based
on obedience to the laws of God and the
nation and freedom to do only what is
right in itself and that does not interfere
with the rights and liberty of others. He
said that whim in the monarchial coun-
tries of the old world there might be
some little excuse for the bitterness of
the anarchist, there was none in free
America and anarchy and all lawlessness
should be legally suppressed.

a dwelling just west of the court house,
on Christy avenue. James Fullorton is ~RICL~
building a residence at the north end or
Fourth street. Many others are talking
of building residences in town either this
winter or next spring. There has been
a scarcity of houses for rent in Saguacho ~wlll~ &IJ[
for some years past, more apparent in
~.tilll~6atm[
the fall, when outsiders wanted to move
into town to get the benefit of our first
class, schools and especially since the
county high school was opened here, and
this fact has kept many from coming to
town with their children. We hope some
public spirited person will decide to
erect several cottages in town before next
winter, and we feel sure they would find
good tenants at a price that would give
them a good intereston their investment.
First flame of the Season, 5 to 0,
The high school boys played their first
game of the season last Saturday at Sa-
lida. They were accompanied by a crowd
of high school boys and girls, chaperon-
ed by Misses Lockett and Williams.
The game was called at 2:20. During
the first half Salida made a touchdown
and failed to kick an easy goal. Saguache
made some bad fumbles otherwise the
score would have been different.
In the second half the Salidas were
clearly outplayed. Capt. Slots worked
his center plays to perfection. The ball
was being steadily forced toward the op-
ponents goal when a fumble lost us the
ball. The game was well played by both
sides. Slots made some fine tackles while
Kelly made some excellent end runs for
Salida. Salida's strength lay in her end
runs while that of Saguache was in herI
line plays. The boys have no complaint]
to make however and are well pleasedi
with the triF. The Salida boys are roy-]
al good fellows and we hope to arrange
a return game soon. The team are es-i
pecially grateful to Prin. McGinnis for
ttis interest and management of the at-:
fair.
Alex Craig was down from Bonanza
last week on business connected with his
application for pension.
