We Talk Too Much
'Most everybody talks too much: I'm
certain this is so.
I think about it more and more the
older that I grow. ‘
I talk a deal too much myself, and‘
this is how I know
There's quite a lot of ignorance that
gilence ,weould disguise,
How very little people know you never
would surmise,
If they didn’t talk so much they’d be
considered wise.
There's little one can talk about from
which no harm can come.
There’s much of hidden danger lies in
confidante, or chum,
And secrets told are far less safe than
if the lips were dumb.
How often one, in argument, by fiery
impulse led,
Will many more antagonize, and bit
ter discord spread!
I guess the most we talk about were
better left unsaid.
And so I think a man may fill a high
and honored place,
And carry many grievous sins with
dignmity and grace,
If he can wear a pleasant smile and.a
calm and silent face.
There's many men in prison cells and
liable to stay
Who might be floating at the top,
distinguished, blithe and gay.
They answered people’s questions,
and gave themselves away.
We all know men well qualified a pris
on cell to fill,
Who never got behind the bars, and
maybe never will;
And all the reason for it is-—the gen
tlemen kept still.
—Joseph Bert Smiley, in Cincinnatti
Enquirer.

KILLING AT BASALT
Geo. A. Morrison Kills Harvey
White in Self-defense
(Geo. A. Morrison, proprietor of the
El Jebel ranch near Basalt, Monday
morning shot and , instantly killed
Harvey White, one of his tenants.
Morrison was riding the range for
cattle and came to the ranch occupied
by White about four wmiles from the
home ranch. Mr. Morrison brought
up the subject of a new lease for the
coming season. White, who had
been drinking, flew into a rage and
declared that he would kill Morrison
and his entire family. He rushed in
to the house and quickly re-appeared
flourishing a sixshooter and renewing
his threats upon Morrison’s life. Mor
rison was standing near his horse up
on which he always carried a rifle
when riding the range. When White
‘had approached within a few feet,
‘Morrison drew his gun from the scab
bard and fired Instantly killing his
antagonist.
This is substantially the story told
by Morrison who is regarded as one of
the most peaceable and quiet citizens
of that section, and Morrigon and his
friends insist that the shooting was
purely a matter of self defense. Men
who reached White immediately after
the shooting found him with his hand
grasping the six-shooter, the trigger
of which was drawn back. This lends
a plausibility to Morrison's statement
that he was forced to shoot or be
killed himself. The coroner was no
itifiad and the inguest was held Thurs
iduy. resulting in the acquittal of Mor
rison.
The County Legislators

An Armed Neutrality
Last Monday evening John P. Ritt-
S |mayer called at the home of his di
| vorced wife for the purpose of seeing
| his children and was admitted by his
‘|little boy. The front of the house
' ‘wns dark and as the little boy stated
''that his mammu was busy in the
‘fkitcheu wiiting a letter, Mr. Ritt
‘| mayer played with the children a few
|minutes and started to leave the house
when Mrs. Rittmayer approached and
\:demanded to know by what right he
entered her house with a key. Mr.
|Rittmayer demied this insinuatien
|declaring that the little boy bad
opened the door for him.
An altercation followed in which
|each made remarks that were any
thing but kind about the other. Ritt
mayer left the house and started down
| the street but was followed by the
‘wmuan who took two shots at him
“uuout the time he reached Eighth
| street, Both shots went wild and
| Rittmayer proceeded on his way.
| When brought up in police court,
| Judge Witten fined Rittmayer $25.00
Ifur creating a disturbance and the
{ woman #5.00 for shooting off firearms
’within the city limits. Both fines and
ithe costs were promptly paid.
| Mr. Rittmayer says the report that
‘hc- was enraged at the sight of a pho
| tograph of another man is without
the slightest foundation whatever as
he could not have seen a picture in
Ithe dark and besides he did not care
| hbow many pictures the woman might
|have had in the room. The whole
| affair is unfortunate and is to be re
)gretled. especially for the sake of the
{ children.

| he drew a revolver and threatened her
|life. When she went to call help
{flom the neighbors he went into the
bedroom occupied by two children
lnged three and eight years and threat
tened to kill them unless they ceased
|their cries. Antoine Rosa came and
[mok the revolver away from him.
| Owing to the prevalent custom of
| irresponsible people carrying concealed
| weapons Judge Hedden fined Donati
i&'fll and costs, amounting to $81.50
{and 30 days in the county jail. As
\hu had no money the judge made the
