judge Bcckwltt and his private secretary,
Mr. ". Coletroolkc, returned yesterday from
Denver, where they have bcen cngagcd during
the Inst month or more IN thu Denver 4 lso
Uranic atn, Atchisot, Topeka Il Santa fc fight.
Judge DcekwI.h looks mono The worse for Tho
serious and prolonged contest With tho onpos-
Ing lawyers heioro the United States Court at
Denver, but Mr.. Eoebroo1so shares the elects
Of Tie hard work lie Ind to do. ThcJu|go saTs
l,o Is perfectly sniisncd with tie outcome ot
the controversy. Judge nalctt could not hnVo
done otherwise than to appoint Receiver,
considering ait tho circumstances. Ever
since tho Denver Il RIO Grasidc
}1nd been turned oyor again 10 tho
Atchlson, Topeka tE Santa Fc, thcro has bccn
SO much chcancry and trouble from thc R'o
Gralljo hlrcltngs that Il was fmpossiola lot the
former to operate the road successfully. 1t be-
came matter Of daily occurrence for the Enils to
be torn up, trains fired into, and other aepret&ar
tionB committed by roughs who sdcl With tho
Rio Gran,lo people. The authorities aloug the
ltno would not Bquclch theso parties, but rather
encouraged them. Now tllat the road was
virtually under the control ot the United States
court, the outlaws along the Tine would not
dare to nlo!cst the property, a. they would be
taken cary q by se unilfd ssats' arsa =
satisfactury to the Atcl,i1on management: ilc
was formerly resident Of this city, and it, tho
employ OF the Third National Bunk, "nA at
present no is the President OF the Denver Street
| Rstlway Company, n,rtt has the reputation ol
| belng 40 able, h1n.ninded, md honorable gen.
tletnnn. Tho tact that Mr.. Dosst, the Srpcr'a.
tcu.lent OF tho rond under tho Atchiso11
management, has been rcappofnted General
Manager Of the Kto Grande under the Receiver,
| is dout1y grntt[ying to tho Atcltson, Topeka q
| Santa Fo people, Nho arc thereby aastircu OF
favorable Treatment md M ns1licable Interchange
Of business. Judge t3cckwith says the
reason TINT the majority Of ihc people
wcro opposed to tho Atch!aun management
is because the old Denver Il REo 0ra0'le pcontc
managed tho road very loosely, not carng what
BECAME Ut tho property 20 long rs they couit
benefit themselves. Nearly everybody A!onq
tho line travelled OIL free passes; the suopicl
werc purchased from tho people nlong the lint
regardless of cost; cntltFacls had hcen cnfoses
iuto with number OF corporatloustand pnrs!cil
larly With the prnpriotors Of the coal n,iHcs u
TrInllad and FL Moro, By which they received
rebate Of 10 cent, thus slluttlI! otts nlI com
petition Now this state ofsaffaifs.Was conplcte
iy changed when the Atch!son, Topeka s
Santa Fe assumed control. OF tug road
fur H.; tho supplies were purchased
where they could no gotten tlsc chcapcst1 mt
the contracts with certain corporations wc1c all
nullcd, aud they were matie to pay the sain'
rntes "a ail other parties. THIS action combnet
all these interests agninst tho new management
ami when all opportunity oderod they tool
| their revenge.
Judge Bccknith thinks tho Cotnusson an
pointed to Investigate tbs Grand Canon dill
Guilty will report fnvorably to the Atchson, To
