UTAH EX-GOVERNOR
The Will Of Charles Durkee
Contested.
A LARGE AMOUNT INVOLVED
Sixteen Claimants -FranklIn H Head and
Harry Durkee Charged with Fraud
Said to be Blackmail.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Sixteen heirs Of
Charles Durkee, at one time governor of
Utah. began suit in the federal circuit
court to-day to recover over $500, 900 of Dur
kee's estate which, it is charged, they did
not receive because of the fraudulent acts
of Franklin H. Head, Of this city and
Harvey Durkee, the half brother of the de-
ceased. These two latter were the execu-
tors of the estate, and it is alleged that
through their manipulations the rightful
heirs were cheated. Mr.. Head is charged
with having so managed the estate as to ge.
most OF it into the possession
of himself and Harvey Durkee.
The latter is now dead The bill, which is
lengthy one, makes sensational charges.
Complainants are George Durkee, of De
Forrest, Wis, Charles L. Boardman, of
Watertown, S. D., and fourteen others,
who are scattered all over the country.
Head, who is we'll known capitalist, and
whose wife was a niece Of ex- Governor
Durkee, said tonight that the estate
amounted to only $40, 600 instead 00,000,
II has been twice In court, both times going
against the plaintiffs. Head declares the

RAILROAD RUMBLES
Another Line Tending to the
Pacific Coast.
Frank B Shelly Is Seriously LII at Clinton,
iOwa-Rio Grande Western Earn
fngs-Mlscellauy.

The Denver papers keep insisting that
the Rio Grande Western will Immediately
build to the coast. Colonel Dodge, how
ever, fails to confirm this, perhaps pre-
ferring, like all railway people who have a
scheme on hand. to ''saw wood and say
nothing" Meantime, other railroads cast
their eyes on the west, among them says
the Denver Netrs, the Denver, Lakewood
d Golden. The boom that has recently
struck that enterprise Is based entirely on
q representation of entering the Pacific
slope country. Gould they do that on di-
rect route from Denver, the fact that they
would be behind the Rio Grande Western
would not interfere with an ultimate ad-
vantage over that road. Last of all, the
Apex is casting lingering eyes upon that
coveted prize. The road has not got firmly
on its feet. A sufficient financial backing
Is yet to be obtained. Quietly and unknown
to the Denver public, the Apex has now an
emissary in New York city, seeking to OBJ
tain the necessary ammunition for the
construction of the road. If the CAPITA! ia
secured and abundant resources for con-
struction are at hand, the work on the At
lantic Pacific tunnel will be pushed with
the utmost vigor and the road will start
out at rapid pace on the race for the
Goldez Gate.

the proportion is being gradually reduced.
