DENVER, Feb. 1O.-A dispatch received

were exaggerated. A dispatch from Cool

remove the Indians. This was granted, but
Tuesday three Indians were found coming
down the trail toward Chavez and cowboys
ordered them back. They started back and
on bluff built signal fire. Soon forty
renegade Indians came to their assistance,
in defiance of the cowboys and the promise
not TO trespass.
There were no cowboys at Chavez at the
time, but the Indians claimed that their de-
serted camp had been burned by cowboys
and they were going to get even. The In
dians threatened to burn the San Antonio
Ranch, occupied by a cattleman named

and two men were at the ranch; they were
greatly terrified when the Indians rode up,

apparently satisfied with having scared the
people, rode away.
Harry Cody at once hunted pony and
rode to Coolidge for assistance. Fl teen

which is sixteen miles distant arriving there

Harvey Brown Says He Is Not Representing
the Railroad.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Judge Harvey s.
Brown says it was an erroneous report that
made him say that unless the money ap-
propriated for the San Francisco POstoffice
site was used before the close of this fiscal
year it would lapse and a new appropria-
ton would be required at the hands Of
Congress. What Judge Brown did say was
that he understood that such was the case
and that he would look into the matter.
The Judge would also like it to be under
stood that he is not representing the South
ern Pacific Railroad here. but is attorney
for j. g. Harvey, and was employed by
the latter to establish title to the property
on Seventh and Mission streets bonded by
Mr.. Harvey.
Judge Brown, who was asked whether in
his opinion 1t virtually rests with the San
Francisco Board Of Supervisors to accept
the POstoffice site or reject it, said: There
is a question in my mind as to whether the

NEW YORK. Feb. 10. "A we'll known

been enormous. In fact, the depression
has been so great that 1t is said to be un-
precedenied in the history OF the cotton
trade. 1t is natural to presume the losses
must be very heavy, as the people who have
been successful on the bear sde attracted
by apparent cheapness, left the bear side
and took to the long side too soon. There
has been further decline under the con-
tiuual pressure Of enormous receipts, which
makes look as il the crop will surely reach
