Denver, Colo, Sept. S.-A dispatch
to the Republican from Ration, says:
Southbound passenger train No.

the Pullman remained on the track.
The train was one hour and twenty

THE GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT.

Interested.
Washington, Sept. 9.-Practical In
formation for the guidance of all In
terested In the good roads movement
is embodied In an important report Of
the United States geological survey
on the geology of the common roads OF
the country. prepared by Geologist N.
S. Shaler. The report outlines the his
tory of American roads, discusses the
geological condition of road material
and reviews the sources of supply Of
road stones.
The report says n disadvantage
arises from the fact that almost half
the area of this country. that part of
it having nine-tenths of its crop-giving
value, lacks adequate materials for
highway construction.
"Our railway authorities should be
brought to realize the Importance of
the development of their ways In IA
voring the transportation over their
lines of road-making materials. The
greater number of roads in this coun-
try are in effect branches of one or
more railways. SO far only few rail
ways have been disposed to foster the
betterment of highways by fixing the
charge for materials for their construc-
ton Mt actual cost"

: Senator Lockwood of Boulder comes
out in a letter vigorously arraigning
the Waite ADMINISTRATION and bolting
the Populist nominations at Pueblo.
Decent Popuiists all over the state will
do the same thing. When it is remem-
bered that Waite Sas elected two
years ago by II minority vote of the

of 5000 silver Democrats, his chances
this year for reelection are decidedly
slim. He will be showed under by

1t is predicted by those who claim to
know that this will be the last year
of Populist reign in Colorado. The
fact that the worst elements that for
merly belonged to the Republican and
Democratic parties, and which came
SO near wrecking them, seem to have
full sway in the Populist party would
appear to justify the prediction. Yet
good, honest work must be done by

: The nomination by Populists of Bar
ney O'Driscoll of Silverton, for regent

Chairman Nicholson. who was select
ed to preside over the Pueblo conven-

master, Waite, in n very complete
manner, and appeared to imagine,
quite naturally under the circum-
stances, that 1t was a Waite conven-
tion selected for the purpose of renom-
mating the old governor. and in no
way to canvass the merits of any. other
candidate. AS the greatest crimes
against liberty have been perpctrated
in the name of the people, so history
repeats itself in this Populist move
ment, which is attempting in the same
sacred name to overthrow good gov

Huntington with n big shotgun. Doran
owns strip of land on Wall street on
which is large sand bank. One por-
ton of the sand bank, the village trus-

is on the public highway. AS the high
way commissioners We're in need of Il
few loads of sand, Road Commissioner
W. II. Lewis directed his men to go
there and dig out what was wanted.
Doran heard of it and when the men
got on the ground he stood on the bank
fifty feet in the air and forbade them
to touch the sand. The men returned
to the village and told Commissioner
Lewis. The latter took Surveyor Darl-
ing and gang of men and went to the
sand bank. The party found the old
man sitting with his back to a tree
with n pile of stones In front of him.
He refused to arbitratc. When the
men began to dig he began TO fire
rocks They were big ones and Doran
fired to kill. The men were forced
to retire for reinforcements. When
they again returned Doran had OBJ
tained a big shotgun and was waiting
their arrival The attacking party
scanpered back to the village. 1t was
a race for life. and the village thought
an army was after them.
The highway commissioner went be-
fore Justice HendricksOn last night
and swore out n warrant for DOran's $
arrest No one. however. could be
found to serve it, All the constables
had other business of pressing ma
