The Supreme Court Finally Decides In
"Bioody Brides" Favor


DENVER, COL, April 1.-THE long
fought police board contest ended to-
day with the decision of the Supreme
Court, which upholds Governor waite's
claim that he had legal right to remove
Martin and Orr. witt of custer was.
ordered, and the defiant members given
until tomorrow noon to give possession
to- Mullins and Barnes. The costs OF the
proceedings were taxed against the retir-
ing members. The opinion reviews the
history of the case. and declares that
the defendants could not legally show
that they had been removed for political
reason, when the cause alleged was
stated in writing. and was, upon its face,
just cause for removal. The answer
made by them was held to be insufficient
in law.
This ends the case. and Martin and
Orr retire gracefully. yet stil asserting
that ii is all political scheme. The new
board met informally to-day and decided
to name III. NJ. Behymer, chief; Dan,
Oswald. first lieutenant. and William Ro-
berts. fire chief A contest among the
Populists, however. is on, and this pro-
graInme is liable TO be changed to-mor-
row. As the Governor has started a cam
paign against the gamblers, causing the
removal of Martin and orr, II is now GER
tain that a war against the gambling
houses will begin in earnest as soon as
the board gets possession Of their offices.
BY decision of Governor Waite, Adjutant
Tarsney has issued orders for the dis
mssal of all State troops held under
arms at the various armories since the
beginning of this trouble.

 EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 20.-A num- Der of millers of Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana mills are here to form an association for the betterfng of their business. Joseph Le Compte of Lex ington, Ky, explained the object of the meeting by saying: "We desire 8 change in the tariff legislation. Under the Wilson law our wheat is exported free of duty, while our flour is taxed. We want both treated alike. Our trade with Cuba is decreasing on account of the tariff.
 Twill you form syndicate? No, it would be impossible to control all of the interests. We are here merely for the purpose of deciding upon something that will enable Us to protect ourselves. The flour milling business is terribly cut up and the present tariff law kills our trade with foreign countries. If we can get the reciprocity clause restored we shall be placed on our feet again"

Residents of Selma, Ind, Alarmed Over
 the Discovery of Gas We'll DriIlers.
 MUNeIE, Ind, Oct. 20.-The residents of Salem and vicinity. six miles east of this city, are greatly excited over dis covery that has been made by gas well contractor, Samuel McPherson of this city.
 A few days since while Mr. McPher- son was drilling well there for nat ural gas company, his men were greatly alarmed when the heavy drill, which weighs nearly a ton. took a sudden drop as if in a bottomless pit. IT had pene- trated the earth about 12 feet when it plunged downward as far as the rope would permit. The drill was pulled out, lowered again and the 1000 feet of rope was not long enough to reach bottom. Two long pieces of inch casing pipo were next lowered and they too were lost. The driller next cut some small trees and dropped them into the hole with the same result. The cavern seems to be very deep, and it Is believed to be the same cavern found at Bluff town, 40 miles away, where just such a hole WAS found recently.
