SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1898. War poets have been respectfully advised either to enlist or desist. VYVyler still talks of invading the I'nited States. The captain general is particularly strong in his advance notice department. General Miles went to war equipped with a porcelain bath tub and other modern conven iences. The old Indian fighter ought to know that while a bath tub might make a Digger Indian run as if from the wrath to come, it will have no terrors for the Span ish dons. The free silverite is happy. The prospect of the passage of the seignorage clause of the war rev enue bill has caused the market price of the white metal to advance 3 cents. This is a long ways from par, however, which it has been so vehemently asserted would come about if silver was given half a chance. Bar silver was quoted at 58V8 yesterday. Pueblo’s Pageant of States and Nations will take place July 3d, 4th and sth. It will be a celebra tion which everyone from a Mis sourian to a Chinaman can take part. The pageant last year was not only a success, but it created a rivalry among the states and na tions that is making itself felt to such an extent that the pageant this year promises to be the great est event of the kind ever attempt ed in the west. The executive committee has been thoroughly or ganized for the past two months and have almost completed the programme for the coming celebra tion which will last three days, July 3d, 4th and sth. The differ ent states and nations are almost all represented by organizations and the enthusiasm displayed by the different bodies gives promise of a celebration that will rival even the Mardi Gras of New Orleans or the St. Louis Veiled Prophets. It is not probable that Otero county will have a celebration this year, and many of our citizens will avail themselves of this opportunity to witness our sister city’s enterpris ing and patriotic celebration.

Year-Old Girl in His In aids Pocket and la Found Out —Trouble Ahead. Harry Taylor, who played a brief and highly-colored engage ment in this city as leader and in structor of the La Junta band, has come to grief in Denver. He spent most of his time in this city painting the town a brilliant car mine, and the night before he left borrowed sls from a confiding female admirer, with which he pro ceeded to buy more “red paint.” The sls mentioned in the dispatch below from the Denver Republi can of Thursday, is probably the same amount which it is known that he borrowed here before leav ing. Following is the story : Officers Griffith, Boykin and Haynes arrested Wednesday morn ing at 2:40 o’clock Harry Taylor, aged 32, and Katie Clark, aged 15. Taylor was charged w ith criminal | assault, and the girl as a w itness land also for incorrigibility. The j arrests were made at the corner of | Nineteenth and Larimer streets, 1 near the Hotel Bristol, where the i pair had been stopping. From let • tors found in Taylor's possession I by the police, Mrs. M. C. Estes, of La Junta, Colo., had given her con sent to Taylor marrying her daugh ter for a cash consideration of £ls. In Taylor's possession were found a number of letters from Mrs. Estes, one of them saying: “Do not marry Harry until he has sent me the money he promised me. If he don’t send me the money by return mail, I will have you come back home." In one of the letters to Taylor Mrs. Estes said: “You promised me sls. Now, why don't you send it to me?” One letter to Taylor from Mrs. Estes began as follows: “Dear Son—You must not get mad at your mama.” The above letters, the police believe, indicate very strongly that the mother sold her daughter for sls, and steps will be taken to have Mrs. Estes prose cuted. Yesterday morning Taylor showed a note addressed to a pro bate court judge, giving him per mission to marry Katie Clark and it read as follows: “Mr. Probate Judge—You know I am the mother of this girl. I have given my consent to this man that they may be married at any time they may come before you, although you may think she’s young, but you may marry them; it is my consent. She has a step father. 1 think this man will treat her better than she is at home. So you may have my consent in this matter. You.s very truly, “Mrs. M. C. Estes, “La Junta, Colo." The girl testified to having seen her mother write this note and then give it to Taylor. However, it came to light that the couple were not married. Taylor tried to in duce her to enter a dance hall on Market street and earn her living. This she refused to do, and then he abandoned her for several days, during which time she wrote a pa thetic letter to him, asking him to come back and not desert her in a strange city among strange people. Taylor came to Denver about six weeks ago and has been play ing the cornet in a Market street resort since his arrival. He told the police yesterday that he has a wife living in Missouri, and also a boy 9 years old and a little girl aged 7. He refused to speak about his wife. Katie Clark was 15 years old last month, and is a frail little girl, rather tall for her age and looks as if she had been raised somewhere in the back woods. She wore an old blue polka-dot dress that but toned up the back, and a straw hat covered with very red roses. She wears her hair in two braids down her back, with short bangs in front. When taken before the chief of police yesterday morning she said that her mother brought her to Denver three weeks ago to give her to Harry Taylor. They went to the Alpine apartments, at Fifteenth and Glenarm streets. About a month ago he when he announced hit intention of moving to Denver he secured the consent of Mrs. Estes to marry her daugh ter and borrowed Al 5, saying that he was financially embarrassed, but had secured a position in the Hoffman house and would return the money in a short time. After his arrival in Denver he secured a room at the Alpine apartment house, and then wrote to the girl and her mother that he was ready to receive them. Mrs. Estes came to Denver with her child and paid half a week’s room rent in the Bristol House, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, on Lari mer. Taylor then told Mrs. Estes that he would marry the girl within a week. The mother returned to La Junta, and Taylor visited the girl daily, and, after fifteen days had passed, he moved her to a Fif teenth street rooming house. This story of Taylor’s escapade did not surprise his acquaintances in this city. He is an utterly worthless character, and w ill now probably receive his just deserts by doing time at Canon City. Mrs. Estes left on No. 5 Thursday night for Denver, and the Tribune was unable to ascertain what she has to offer in extenuation of her course in the affair. . ♦ Sunday School Convention.

Following is ( a synopsis of the business trans- I acted: > The county treasurer was in r structed to redeem several tracts of > land erroneously sold for taxes. i The appointment of Edoa E. Adsmond as deputy assessor was s approved. [ John T. Russell was designated t to take charge of the interment of all indigent honorably discharged ex-union soldiers, whose death oc curs in Otero county. A resolution was passed that in future all claims against the county, to be considered at any meeting of the board, must be filed with the county clerk prior to the first day of such session. The offices of justice of the peace and constable in Justice Precinct No. 3 were declared vacant, the officers refusing to file a new bond as demanded by the board. The regular monthly batch of claims was allowed and the board adjourned sine die. In Mamorlam. Death having visited the family of Neighbor Brinkman and claimed therefrom the beloved little Mary, we, your Neighbors of the Ladies’ Circle, No. 81, Women 1 of Wood craft, attempt to express our sym pathy. Truly we know’ it leaves a sad vacancy in you home and many a heartache, but remember that God hath said “Suffer little chil dren to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven," and in this you must take comfort and know that Mary is with the angels in heaven, and that the parting here is only temporary, that you will meet and see her in the sweet beyond. Resolved, That the profound sympathy of lhe Ladies' Circle, No Bj, Women of Woodcraft, be extended Neighbor Brinkman in her hour of sorrow ; also that a copy of these be furnished the family and to the city papers for publication and placed on the min utes of the circle. Lane, Jamison, Bourne, Committee. I)r. W. Dow is attending the sessions of the American Medical Association at Denver this week. Elmer Jaynes is the proud father of a son and heir which ar rived at his home last Tuesday night. Miss Emma Wilson, who has been visiting in Colorado Springs for a few days, returned home Wednesday night on No. 6. M. E. Gilmore, who has been attending the Northwestern Col lege of Medicine and Surgery at Chicago, returned to La Junta this week. He will occupy the posi tion of pharmacist at Austin Joy’s during Mr. Todd’s absence. Peter McCulloch’s waived a pre liminary examination before Jus tice Burns yesterday afternoon and was bound over to the November term of the district court in bonds of #250. McCulloch will probably succeed in furnishing the bond. John Mac Millan, of Denver, of the firm of Seeman & Mac Millan, managers for Colorado and Wyom ing of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United Sates, is in the city and will remain for several days to talk life insurance with our citizens. A man who was struck by light ning in this county recently is said to be paralyzed. One of his ac quaintances, when informed of his unfortunate state, heartlessly re marked that it would be no new experience, as he had been “para lyzed” ever since he had known him. A grand rally was held at the opera house last night for the pur pose of organizing a company drawn from the Arkansas valley, comprising the counties of Otero, Bent, Kiowa, Prowers and Baca. There was plenty of good music and good speaking, but we went to press too early for a report in this issue. It is a good move, however, and we hope our citizens turned out en masse and demonstrated their patriotism. S. A. McDonald and G. H. Wil son made a trip to Pike’s Peak Sunday. They walked to the top of the peak from Manitou during the night previous and witnessed the sun rise in the morning. Many travelers testify that the spectacle of a sunrise from the top of Pike’s worth the hardship of a I tough c'hnb up its precipitous sides in the dead hours of night. But once is enough for some people, especially when the thermometer is *0 degrees below xero and a reg ular blixxard is raging about the crest of that old peak. On such j an occasion the “inspiration” does not quite offset the discomfort. 1 FINNEY’S! 8 It’s not hard to remember the place when wanting anything in Stationery, Earthenware, Tobaccos and Cigars, jg® Hardware Specialties, SIS Si® Confectionery and Fruits, 2||| B|sß Tinware and Woodenware, Sftg SSe A cool refreshing drink of Soda, jmkj p*B| After a first visit, our prices will se|« help you to remember. gyfg FINNEY’S DEPARTMENT STORE. |||i ©i©©©!©!©!©!©!©!©!©!©!©^©!©!©!©^©^®©®®®^ |WE CATER TO THE COOK—— | And meet all coiners who desire to comjiete in j|jj quality, variety, promptness or price.
