DENVER, Colo, March l5.-The liquo,
house of Jacob Boehm & Co., one of the
largest in the West, is in the hands OF
the sheriff. 1t was closed and deputy
placed in charge at 1890 o'clock p. m.
Two hours later Mr.. Boehm, the senior
member of the firm, was found dead in
a chair in Room 319 at the Windsor
House. An empty bottle which had
contained solution of prussia acid told
the story. The first attachment which
was filed, and on which the store was
closed, was on suit brought by the
First National bank of Denver for $685.
S35.s2. When the papers were handed
to Mr.. Boehm he seemed to have been
expecting it, and telephoned to his at
torney, Earl B. Cole. He fastened to
meet him and together they went to the
Windsor House, where Mr.. Boehm reg
istered and was assigned to Room 319.
Here Mr.. Boehm consulted with his at
torney few moments, and then Mr..
Cole went to lunch. They were to meet
again in the same room, but when Mr..
Cole returned
He Found His Client Dead.
At present the claims made known
reach nearly 5000, 900 and it is under
stood that there are many more to
come, but as the assets will not exceed
$40, 900 they are in no hurry to make
known how much they have lost. AL
claims thus far are local and none of
the foreign creditors have been heard
from. 1t is also probable that other
houses will go under or suffer severely
in the crash, one firm having already
been attached in the same case for $15,-
s75.
1t is learned later on the authority of
d. FL. Mofatt, president of the First
National bank, that Boehm had forged
a large number of whisky certificates,
many of which his bank held as secur-
ity. Mr.. Moffatt states that Boehm
made a confession to him Of this crime
and also that he had misappropriated
funds of the firm.

BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota State Authorities
Know About Them.

What the Minnesota State Authorities
Know About Them.
If there is doubt in anybody's mind
as to the quality OF the various baking
powders of the market, it will be settled
by the evidence given upon the subject
by the state officials OF Minnesota. The
dairy and food commission and the state
chemist are the highest official authori-
ties upon such subjects in this state,
and their evidence will be accepted as
disinterested. and unprejudiced. 1t is
their business to examine the quality of
the different food products, and to sup
press the sale of those found impure and
unwholsome. and all will admit that
they have performed their duties with
out fear or favor.
At recent examination by a legisla-
tive committee to determine the quail
ties of the various baking powders sold
in Minnesota, State Chemist and Anal
yst to the Food and Dairy Commissioner
Charles w. Drew gave the following
evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, I see by the report
Of the dairy and food commission of the
state that in making analysis of the
various baking powders of this country
you report as result of your work that
the Royal Baking Powder contains and
gives off in baking greater per cent of
carbonic acid gas (leavening gas) than
any other baking powder made; is that
true?
Ans.-Yes, sir; that is fact.
Ques.- doctor, you also found from
experiment that the Royal Baking
Powder will keep longer and retain it's
qualities better than any other powder
made, did you not?
Ans.-Yes, sir; l think it does.
Ques.-Now, the two most desirable
qualities in baking powder are the
amount of carbonic acid gas it contains
and gives off and the length of time it
will keep. are they not?
Ans.-Yes, sir.
Ques.-Then the Royal Baking Pow
der, possessing these qualities, is the
best powder made, is it not?
Ans.-Well, that would be the natural
conclusion.
Ques.-Well, that is the fact, is it
not?
Ans.-Yes, think it is. 1 consider
it one OF the best baking powders made.

Colonel Russell Gets a Court Order
Making Him Colonel of the Seventh.
Col. W. III. H. Russell is determined
to take on himself the colonelcy of the
Seventh regiment. With this purpose
in view he has secured an order from
Judge Clark in keeping with the de-
cision recently made, which was in favor
of Colonel Russell as against w. HI. I'll.
Schrieber. In talk with reporter
yesterday Colonel Russell said that he
proposed to take possession of the title
and Office of colonel of the Seventh
regiment. He did not know whether
this action would cause any friction
with Colonel Schrieber, but friction or
no friction he proposed to take the
colonelcy. Russell's commission ex-
pires May 9th, and until that time he
will consider himself the executive head
of the Seventh regiment.
The order issued by Judge Clark of
the superior court under which he is
acting finds as follows:
"That the defendant, William G.
Schrieber, is not entitled to the Office
of colonel of the Seventh regiment of
infantry of the National Guard of Cali
fornia, and that he be and hereby is
ousted therefrom, and said defendant is
hereby ordered to vacate said office.
"That the relator, William H. H.
Russell, is entitled to the Office of
colonel OF the Seventh regiment of in
fantry of the National Guard of Cali
fornia, and that he is entitled to the
possession of the same, and that he be
and hereby Is put in possession thereof.

cover of and from said defendant the

of the railroad company. 1t has been
pressing its claim earnestly before the
department from the first, and it could
not 60 any faster than the business and
course of procedure of the department
permitted. The company could not
sue the government. Besides, we do
not think the government is
wholly without interest. If these
lands are within the statutory grant,
the company has earned them by full
performance of its part OF the statutory
contract, and an absolute indefeasible
right to patent, unincumbered by any
cloud, has vested. The government, in
that case, is legally bound to make q
good title. 1t is legally liable to per-
form its part of the contract, and issue
the patent as required by the statute.
The United States are, therefore, re-
sponsible to the railroad company for
the land, or its full value. By the mis-
take of the officers, they have put it out
of their power to comply with their con-
tract and they are interested to the
full value of the land in setting aside
the listing and patents resulting from
ally adjudged imperative and void, in
Oruer tnaJ Iuey may IelleVo JHemselVee
from their liability.
Time does not run against the govern
ment when it is party to suit, unless,
it be mere nominal party. The reason
for this rule would seem to apply where
the suit involves liability of the gov
ernment for its failure to do what the
complainant had persistently and con-
tinuously sought to get it to do, and
what complainant seeks by this suit to
accomplish. Demurrer overruled, with
leave to defendants to answer within
the usual time
