Million Dollars.
The Rockefellers Prosecuting Their
Scheme 20 Get Even with the
GOnlds.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 1s.--A published dis
patch from Chicago Sunday stated that
new railroad corporation had been
organized for the construction of a belt
line at Chicago which was to become a
part of the Chicago, st. Paul and Kan
sas City system. Among the incor-
porators were mentioned several ST..
Paul gentlemen, stockholders in the
Kansas City. Upon investigation this
enterprise turned out to mean much
more than was indicated by the state
ment first sent out from Chicago. 1t is
a reorganization Of whole Kansas City
system, which will be known under a
new name, that of Chicago Great
Western mot Chicago and Great West
ern, as stated. The line. according to
the articles of incorporation, is to be
constructed from Hammond, Ind, to a
point near Evanston, to the north of
Chicago, thus forming belt line about
that city. But this, it seems, did not
convey the real object of the scheme.
The new corporation, the Chicago
Great Western, is incorporated with a
capital of 5000, 900. The present Chi
cago, st. Paul and Kansas City system
will probably be leased by the new cor
poration, and will be operated under
the new name. The junior securities

NEW YORK, Jan. i9.-The Times says
that private dispatch received in this
city announces that the Chicago, Rock

DENVER, Colo, Jan. l9.--The friends
of DR.. Graves claim that startling dis
coveries will be given to the public
shortly. Detective Keith and three OPP
eratiyes have been diligently striving to
determine who sent,ths bottle of whisky
on the theory that it contained pure
liquor when mailed and that the stuff
was doctored in Denver. It is held that
an affidavit has been signed by several
persons who were in Herb Rutaerly's
saloon Oh Seventh street between Champ
and South streets few days ago when
one of the witnesses, becoming intoxi-
Gated, talked freely. He spoke of his
acquaintance with all the parties in the
case, and as the minutes sped by his
volubiiity increased. He had plenty of
listeners for the topic was uppermost
in the public mind and every word
was eagerly hailed. He did not meet
with any interruption, and as the effect
Of his potations became more apparent
he grew bolder in his assertions, until
he had startled his audience with the
statement that he himself had bought
the whisky and mailed it to the Denver
address. The story has createda great
sensation here, and, although doubted
by some, is claimed to be correct by
people who were in the saloon. The
affidavits have not been made. a couple
of letters are expected hourly from Mon

the contest to be fair free-for-all fight

not know when he has enough. He
