In a lonely cove at the outlet from the
second Joe Mary lake in the northern
Maine wilderness, boulder projects
above the surface Of the water. This
stone has been ridyed and followed by
the waves into an almost exact represen-
tation of Ex-Governor Frederick Robe
features. In fact, it is the head of the
granger governor in stone, heroic size,
not mere profile. 1t faces out across
the lake placidly and the few who have
seen it are always astonished at the exact
resemblance.

The best presentation Of C9Nie's ideas

him while in New York, where he had
gone to sell il number OF horses from his

march. In the interview the general
said that he used to be tree silver man
and would endorse the free silver idea If
the greenbaek proposition should fail Of
passage He sad he was an advanced
populist. OF course greenback ism
meant reputation of foreign debts, but
what difference did that make? The

Suit Against the Colorado Irri-

One Beatty DisIikes the Other and
Is Trying Now to Break
film Up.

DENVER, Sept IL. - The Associated
Press dispatches from New York concern
ing the charges of fraud made against
John c. Beatty and others in a Sonora
(MexicO) land deal. have created some ex-
citement in this city, where some Of the
defendants reside. James H. Brown. one
of the defendants. said liz reference to the
company that a long while ago he saw the
practicability of the scheme advanced
by Beatty and sent in his resignation as
one Of the GiFe ectOrs, as he did not care to
have his name used in connection with it,
~ attended but one meeting of the
board of directors" he said, land that
was Immediately after the company was
formed. l have learned recently that
Beatty and Miller went East, and / heard
that they had disposed of some OF TIE
stock TO Eastern parties. although ! never
heard whether or not they ever did any
thing toward making the scheme a sue
cess"
T. j. ODonnell said: ST have been at
t0rney for the Colorado River Irrigation
Company since its organ ization. From
what / know of the affairs of the company
l should say that the suit commenced by
James II. Beatty against John c. Beatty
and the company in New York is q family
quarrel The two men are cousins. The
Colorado men mentioned have had pra eti-
cally nothing to do with the management
since the first year Of its existence. They
had sold most of their stock to James III
Beatty, but in the controversy between
James II. Beatty and John Z. Beatty they
sided with the latter and cast the deciding
vote in his favor. This irritated James
H., and he has undoubtedly hamed them
as parties defendant in the suit largely out
Of spite.
'Mr. Samuel n. Wood. who is named as
defendant, has not been a director of the
company or bad anything to do with for
some two years or more, and, so far as
know, does not and has not for that length
of time owned a share in it. The cum
pany owns valuable franchises in Cali
fornia, secured by location aud acts of
Congress, and has the absolute title to be-
tween 00,000 and 900,0O acres of land in
Sonora, Mex, much of II Immediately on
the American border. The land is said,
by parties who have seen IT, to be valu-
able. The company has been in embar-
rassed circumstances since the financial
panic of 1S93 and this suit is undoubtedly
the elimination Of an attempt on the part
of persons who have brought it to freeze
out John c. Beatty ana The other stock
holders and obtain the franchises and
property of the com pany themselves"
