United States Marshal Describes
What He Saw There

From the Denver Col.) News
United States Marshal Israel made a
number OF interesting observations during
Els visit last week among the ruins OF the
CHI jewellers IN southwestern Colorado
MI Israel made the trip to the distant re-
Sicn for the purpose Of serving papers

last man On the border of Utah, and start
ed on the return journey through the
mountainous district that was once the
nome OF a rcce now extinct. I'm many
places" said Mr.. Israel, the cliffs are
dotted with little stone houses, built of a
KIND OF stone not found in the neighbor-
hood. The question is: Where did the stone
come from, ard how did the builders lift
the stones 10 their Ilaces? 1 saw one large
mousse hicf was covered with adobe This
was surprise to me, as l never heard of
the cliff jewellers Using that kind of ma
terial. l was told of remarkable find in
the shape of stone building sixty feet
long and several stories above ground
which has also several stories under
ground. The building was described bv a
man VINO visited it as containing cedar
joists sixty feet long No cedar grows in
that country, and it is mystery how the
natives raised heavy logs up the sides of
the cliffs
Mr.. IsrIel says the Smithsonian Institu-
ton has an agent in the field who is pre-
pairing to carry away a large number of
rellcs from the ruins. A second representa-
ton from the east is expected during the

Judge Miller served tart notice upon the
tramp fraternity yesterday when he told a
prisoner charged with vagrancy and assault
that he might notify his colleagues that the
court intends to impose the limit of the
law upon similar offenders. The most
threatening part of Judge Miller's an
nouncement, which will doubtless find Its
way to the entire br brotherhood of Migrants,
is that the sentence doled out by the court
will be accompanied by requirement to
work fer the District during the period of
enforced seclusion in return for the free
board and lodgings granted. The case
which called forth this declaration from
Judge Miller was sample of many that
might occur in the District If the court
and citizens generally did not adopt harsh
measures to rid the community of tramps.
A peaceable citizen was waylaid by two
beggars. who enforced their demands by a
brutal assault, and transformed themselves
from mere mendcants into would-be high
way robbers. This may be expected in
visible means of support who come to
Washington in their wanderings begin to
infest the streets In search of unearned in
come. The local charity problem is difficult
enough without the imposition Of this extra
burden upon the people. This city hopes to
hoboes of the eastern circuit as to insure it
certain degree of immunity from their
attentions.
