THE GRAVES CASE.
Twelve Men Selected 10 Try the Doc

Twelve Men Selected TO Try the Doc
tor for His Life-The Trial To Begin
To-Day.
DENVER, Dec. 3.-When the judge took
his seat this morning it was understood
that both sides had agreed to accept the
eleven men in the jury box and that it re-
quired but one more man to complete the
jury. This one name, however, might be
the important question over which the at
torneys might wrangle and delay the trial
for hours to come The prosecution had
but one peremtory challenge left and the
defense two. There were twenty talesmen
present out of venire of seventy six
drawn last night, and the lawyers went to
work on these men with a will, which
showed they had sincere desire to finish
this work as soon as possible. The tales
men were quickly examined and excused
until only two remained. The nineteenth
man, John ]. Peters from Hoboken, was
called. He had no opinion, was not OPP
posed to capital punishment and could &C.
cept circumstantial evidence. He was, in
fact, a model juror. and was accepted by
both sides and the jury in the famous case
was complete after nine days of tedious
work. The names of the men who are to
try DIR. Graves for his life are. N. L. Ster-
ling, hardware; Robert Adair, liquor; u.
Boring, contractor; j. P Lower, guns, etc.
Edward Grace. hotel; Dave Linehart,
farmer; T. ]. Carpenter, cabinet maker;
Pat Riordan, miller; N. E. 0verton, real
estate; Henry Preston, timekeeper; Wilson
Perrine, retired; John ]. Peters, cabinet
| maker.
The court, after swearing them in and
| giving them some advice as to how they
were expected to act, gave his instructions
to the officers who would have charge OF
them, and adjourned court until to-mor
row. State Attorney Stevens will begir
the presentation of his case to the jury to
morrow, provided Judge Rising. who i
suffering from the grip, is able TO attend
Otherwise the court will be adjourned til

THE CAR FAMINE.
Eastern Roads Compelled to Refuse
Grain Consignments to the Seaboard

Eastern Roads Compelled to Refuse
Grain Consignments to the Seaboard
The Situation Serious.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-Every eastern
road, except the Pennsylvania, has notified
its western connections that, owing to the
accumulation of freight on its tracks, 1t
can no longer receive grain re consigned at
Chicago for eastern points. The car stu
alton has now become serious. The yards
of the eastern lines are crowded with
loaded cars marked for transfer. The west
ern roads refuse to allow any more of their
equipment to be used east of Chicago and
their eastern connecfionsar are unable to pro-
vide cars enough to make the necessary
transfers.
The stop-order will still further inoon-
venience the western roads, and although
strenuous efforts are being made it is pre-
dicted that before the end of the month
there will be tremendous blockade from
the Missouri to the sea. Advices from
the western wheat belt indicate that the
farmers in many localities have insufficient
| storage room for their grain and are I'M.
able to procure cars ut any price for the
shipment of the surplus.

sand Die of Starvation.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 3.-George R. Mat
thews of New York reached here yester-
day direct from Mexico, having been as
far south as San Cristobal, in the state of
Chiapas. He says that the famine in
Chiapas and Guatemala is far worse than
has been reported. Drought has been
followed by famine in the interior dis
tricts of Chiapas and the northern portion
of Guatemala. Outside aid was not to be
had promptly because of a lack of facil-
tiles and because the real situation was
not really understood. At San Cristobal,
Sitala, Tirpalapa and Teopisca, the main
cities of Chispas, there was scarcely
enough food for full days rations, and
in the small villages and isolated spots
food is exhausted. Nearly all the live
stock have died or been killed for food.
| Whole families have died from starvation
and disease caused by insu ffcient food.
Mr.. Matthews does not believe that fewer
than 5 900 lives have been lost owing to
the famine, and the plague is spreading.
He thinks that before next harvest the coun-
| try will be vast graveyard.

jured. Lessner was the fireman, and was
seriously injured. The injured were taken
to their homes.
The express had the right of way. The
construction train was slow in getting to
the switch. Doctors from Pennington
cared for the wounded. "A gentleman who
was passenger on the express says the
train was running at very high rate of
speed. The engine dashed into the caboose of
the gravel train which was moving from
the main track to a siding. The engineer of
the passenger train which consisted of a
baggage car, smoking car and three others,
one being parlor car, renamed at his
post, reversed his engine, applied the air
brakes, and thus prevented the accident
from being much worse. The engine
rolled down an embapkment ten feet
high, taking with it the track. The bag
gage and smoking cars were turned com
pletely over and rolled down the embank-
ment. The next rolled partially down, but
was held upright by the Pullman car.
Only the front wheels of the Pullman left
the track.
There were seventy passengers on the
train. Two were badly hurt. The fire.
man of the passenger was thrown beyond
where the engine landed into field. The
passengers collected 500 for the engineer
who acted SO bravely.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 3.-The first attempt
in the history of this country to afford re-

Russia has originated in Minneapolis, The
scheme is to send a shipload of flour to
Russia by che middle of next January and
the 5000 merchant millers of America are
to be asked to help. The cargo will be 8,
600 tons, or 5000, 900 pounds, or 80, 600 to
$4,000 barrels of -four, worth 100000 to
s125, 900. The Russi n minister at Wash
ington has been communicated with, and
in his absence the charge d. affaires at New
York wires that he has laid the matter be-
fore his government. The idea at first was
to make the gift one from Minnesota alone,
but it was thought best to give it nation
al scope. Railroads are willing to give free
transportation and the scheme will be set
a-going as soon as the Russian minister
hears from home. Minneapolis millers
will give TWENTY-FIVE carloads of the cargo.

A Whooping Bloody Circular From tho

The .Arbeiter Zeitung of Chicago, the
organ of the German socialists. prints q
translation of a long circular, which, it
claims, was picked up in that city. 1t is
addressed to the oppressed and disin-
herited. In bloodthirsty language it
pictures the alleged intolerable condi.
tons of society, the monster of CAPT.
tai, which sheds rivers of blood" in
its greed for wealth 1t speaks of
tyranny as fastened to the breast of the
people and sucking out its vitality.
The chains of slavery are made to clank,
the police monster flourishes the whip
and club and helps to tear one by one
members from the body of the people.
The people are urged to destroy the capi-
talistic system and establish a society
based upon love, fraternity, and equal
;ty.
1t concludes with the statement that
anarchy is the only system which can
satisfy all wants of human society.
"Then arise, brothers and sisters of the
laboring people," is the last sentence
ARISE up in arms, rise for the social
revolution, destroy the existing system
of robbery, which threatens to crush
you, and found the system of anarchy.
