Denver and Colorado Springs Trains Came
in so Hours Eaie The Worst Storm
for EssFs.

The terrific electrical storm that
swept over the vest Friday made traf-
fic on the Rock Island vest Of here an
impossibility. Passenger aud freight
trains for the west we're snnulied here.
al the cuts we're filed to the depth Of
from two to 20 feet with sand, mud
and snow, which resisted the efforts Of
the ordinary snowplow and rendered
the rotary practically useless. The
cuts had to be shoyelsd out, which was
slow work, making the western trains
over 60 hours late. The westbound
passenger No. 9, of Friday was stalled
at Arriba, Col, and did not get into
the Springs until Monday. The east
bound trains did not leave either Den
yer or the Springs until Monday morn
ming.
The trains from the east we're turned
at this place and sent back on the east
trains time. Several tourist cars for
the west we're sidetracked here until
the road was opened.
Telegraph operators at the small
stations west reported that they could
not hear to take a message owing to
the noise of the sand beating against
the windows of the buildings. The line
was down, in several places which made
it much worse.
In cleaning out a cut near Falcon
the Rock Island demolished two rotary
and one wedge sn0wploWs, and broke
down two rotary plOws and overturned

LimOn.
1t was the worst storm in years and
done no little damage to stock and
ranches OH the Colorado ranges. At
Burlington the awnings, porches and
outbuildiugs were blown down and re-
duced to kindliug wood. The storm
was quite severe at this point, but no
damage resulted with the exception of
overturuing of a few windmill towers.

him and copied in the ADVOCATE
from his paper. Mr. Young, Judge
Cooper and the Gazette for the
truth or falsity of the quotation
we have nothing to do with it.
One thing we want understood
this is no quarrel between the ADvo-
CATE and the Banner, but a square
issue between Judge Cooper and
the good people of Montgomery
county, whose sentiments we are
voicing. Neither do we in
tend that it shall be side tracked
by any attempt, on the on the part
of any one, to draw us into con-
troversy, and thus divert attention
from the main issue in the case.
When it shall seem to us right, to
so do, we shall arraign in our own
way, any public official who does
not seem to us to be caring as he
should for the public interest of
our community, without asking the
permission Of any one.

thought to be the wild dreams of a
visionary. Day by day man adds to
the vast store of knowledge that he has
accumulated for the elevation and ad-
vancement of the race. One of the
latest discoveries is that of tempering
the almost new metal-aluminum
The inventor, Canadian, has sue
ceeded in casting a cannon out Of this
metal that has seemed to stand the
test of experiment, and is said to have
an order from our Government for a
larger gun than the one said to have
been successfully cast. The possibili-
ties of this metal may be realized in
the near future in directions entirely
unlocked for by even the most san
guine. Another invention said to
be at the point of being realized is the
running of malieable iron from the
furnace, thus avoiding the expensive
process of manufacture from that, as
it hitherto, came from the fur
mace. A company with $L,000,000
capital has been organized to manu-
facture the metal by the new process.

Mt. Sterling Gazette Of February
27:
"In a private letter to a gentle
man Of this city Judge Cooper eX-
presses chargrin that the report Of
his charge to the Bath county
grand jury should be considered as
reflection on all the officers of
Montgomery county and all the
turies. He hinkS J'thc piper had

were the most efficient we have had
for a long time, and the entire Bar
had so expressed themselves"
We remember Mr.. Young intro
duced his extract from Judge
Cooper's charge with, "HiS eract

Judge Cooper as saying, "J the
paper had quoted his exact CordS,"
etc. Now whatever other failings
Mr.. Young may have been accused,
we have never heard him charged
with a failure to understand
the "force of words" 1t is
therefore unnecessary tor us
