EVANS IS AFTER THEM.
He Says the Election of the Gulf Di-
rectOrs Was Illegal.

Denver. Col. April 17-Ex-Governor
John Evans filed bill in the United
States circuit court asking that the re-
cent election of directors of the Denver
and Gulf road be set aside and a new
election ordered, from which the Union
Pacific stockholders be excluded, and
enjoin the present directors from per-
hitting the road to be sold under
mortgage.
The petition recites the history of
the acquisition of the Gulf road by the
Union Pacific and the alleged misman-
|agement of the property by that cor
poration.
Governor Evans alleges that the re-
cent election was a mere farce and a
sham" The result was previously ar
ranged and agreed upon. 1t is de-
clared that the Union Pacific is plan
ming to take advantage of the poverty
stricken, condition of the Gulf-brought
about by the mismanagement of the
controlling corporation-to cause a
foreclosure and sale, and that the
Union Pacific designs to buy up the
property and make it a part of the
larger system thus doing away with a
formidable competitor

THE WORD DISBURSEMENTS
1t Can Be Stretched to Cover ANY
Eccentricity of Genius.

A good deal has been heard in criti-
cal dissertations in the past two weeks
of the word Temperament. as ap-

cording to these writers the one who
hasn't the temperament" isn't in il
artistically speaking. Now, [ always
supposed temperament was a common
possession-in fact, that such intelli-

in the exercise of any mental or spir-
itual qualification possessed temporal

The chances are that the latter has
quite as much of this wonderful con

may not have impressed it upon the
believers in this elastic French word.

Calve and Media: The one stirs the
blood; the latter the purer senses. In
other words. Calve makes one see red,
and Melba makes one see stars This
power is probably temperamental, but
is it not shared by both artists? Be
cause Melba outwardly remains cool
and calm, it does not prove her ''tem-

Butte, Mont, April 1.-THE situation
here is unchanged. Director James
Hogan, who is conducting the strike at
this point, is in receipt Of kilograms
from numerous towns on the Northern
Pacific endorsing the American Rail
way union, and condemning the action
of Chiefs Brainard and Clark, of the
old departmental railway Organiza-

met Hogan and produced a telegram
signed by Clark, of the Order of Rail
way Trainmen, and Brainard, chief of
the Order of Railway Conductors, ask
ing the strikers to allow the difficulty
to be settled through the old organiZa-

would be adjusted by the American
Railway union only, and all other rail-
road organizations would be ignored.
Hogan is very indignant at the action
of Chiefs Brainard and Clark, whose
only motive, he says, in keeping up
their organiza tons is to retain their
official positions on fat salaries. Su-
perintendent w. w. Currier, of the
Great Northern, was arrested today at
