His home was in Denver, from which

AWAITING BETTER TINES.
The Union Pacific Must Soon be Sold
by the Government.

8. H. H. Clark. who went through
here yesterday. was interviewed by
the Denver News on the reorganization
proposition. In. answer to a direct
question, he said that me saw no hope
for a successful reorganization of the
Union Pacific. at least for a very long
time. The receivers at one time
thought they could discover light ahead
but matters have become worse instead
OF better and now the only hope for
the line Is an immediate restoration of
good times and good business. which
the receivers cannot believe will occur.
The Union Pacific will, therefore, have
to work along under the receivership
until some time in the future, very in
definite, to say the least, or Until the
government demands the payment of
the debt due 1t.
Asked II he did not think the COM
pany would be forced to allow the gov
eminent to take the road and sell it for
the debt. Mr.. Clark said he didn't know
but it would come to that from present
appearances. The debt cannot be paid
and there is no hope for any help what
ever from the mex congress. When
asked II he did not think it would be
policy for the Union Pacific to allow
this. he said he thought they would
probably have nj option in the matter.
The line could be rebuilt. or another
line built, for less han the debt of the
Union Pacific, or, as he put it. the cost
OF original constructions. When the
line was built it was MOI a question OF
expense. but what they must have. He
thought 1t would be possible for the
Union Pacific to build a new line cheap
er than they could retain the old one
but he doubted the practicability of do
ing it. He did not think the road would
sell. especially under existing condi-

mond. but al Detective Buckminister
glanced at the prisoners face he saw
him trying to swallow. Buckminister
seized him by the throat and prevents
ed him from swallowing. Weber at
once saw that something was wrong,

ed down his throat with his fingers un-
til he felt the diamond just above

A Dispute Over a Small Debt Ended
with n Bullet.

Fitzgerald, Ca, Sept. 30.-Yesterday af-
ternoon a murder was committed a few
miles from the city, the victim being a
young man whose name was Clark. He
was going to his home, a few miles out,
when he met a man named Stone, for
whom he had been working and who still
owed him. 1t is said that upon meeting a
dispute over 50 cents took place, when
Stone drew his pistol and shot Clark, tho
bullet taking effect at once, striking the
left side, ranging downward and passing
through the heart Some negroes Witness
ed the tragedy, but were almost too fright
ened to move. In very few minutes a
number of people had gathered, and some
of them started in pursuit of Stone, who
was pointed out by the negroes, and who
was caught without much trouble.
Mr. Clark was a native Georgian, q or
"a years old. His father has been tele-
graphed, and will be here tonight
Stone is also a Georgian, and neither
was very well known to many colonists
1t is impossible to give accurate details
because of conflicting reports.
EXcurstOnists from the north arrived last
night and to-day are inspecting allotments

A union Sunday school convention was
held at the Corn and Cotton palace Sun

Pullman excursion will be run from sew
eral large cities in the north, and a very

does, just at the opening of the races,
1t is supposed that each will aid the other.
The three inches of rain which fell last
night and to-day will do much toward
replenishing the wells of this section, many

the continual drought.
