SETTLERS IN DIsTR Ess.
No Crops In Eastern Colorado OF
Western Kansas.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 2l.--The effects of
the summers drought in Eastern Colo
rado and Western Kansas begin to have
gloomy look. The cool weather of the
past few days causes the settlers in the
dry districts to wonder where their win
ter's supplies are TO come from, as a
great many of them have only their
claims-not all of those proved up-so
that they have nothing TO sell and moth
ing to borrow upon.
A com mittee reached Denver to-day
from the eastern part of Arapahoe
county, sent by the settlers of that
district in quest of aid, which will no
doubt be generously furnished them, as
Colorado, as a whole, has been blessed
with unusually good crops, SO that Col
orado will be amply able to take care of
those who have settled upon the plains
in the eastern portion of the state.
But Western Kansas, which COM
prises larger area, and where not even
vegetables have grown the past year,
VIII no doubt have TO call upon the
East for assistance before the wntry
blasts are over. Already hundreds Of
families have come to Colorado
from Western Kansas, where
they report that corn, wheat
and oats that were planted
in some districts still remain in tho
ground, or have been eaten by tho birds.
There was not enough moisture in the
ground to sprout it until the fall rains
set In week or two ago. At Colorado
Springs quite q number of Kansas
families are living in tents. All seem TO
be thriving and in good health, having
secured work since their arrival.

there was no special Significance in her

were very anxious to learn all about the
situation in Behring sea- and the present
location of the United States cutters and

thoroughly posted as to the armament
and capacity of the English war vessels
in the Pacific waters, ano confident of
the ability of the Charleston TO cope
with any single English vessel on the
Coast. They said they were anxious to
reach the Sound, in order to get coal.

l.. Shoup was born in Kittan-

when but 23 years of age in the Pike $
Peak excitement of 1859. He remained
there. engaged in mining and merchan-
dising, until the breaking out of the
civil war, when he enlisted In com
pany Of independent scouts, commanded
by Captain Backus. In the fall of 1861
he was commissioned second lieutenant.
During the fall and winter of 1912, he
was fighting Indians along the Platte
and Arkansas and their tributaries. In
April, 1861, he was ordered 10 Fort Union,
n. NJ, and soon after his arrival he was
placed in com mand of the artillery at
that fort. Returning to his command,
he pursued band of hostile Indians,
many times larger than his command,
some 500 miles into the Indian country,
where he. surprised the Comanches, cap
tured the chief and other warriors. and
compelled the Indians to enter into a
treaty which has been held in good faith
ever since.
