no state has any special capacity for
exceeding Colorado, either in the
amount of milk that can be turned In
to whey and cheese or in facilities for

four brands of cheese in the world
that constitute n regular adjunct to
the table Of all classes Of consumers.
These are the Stllton cheese Of Eng

SEVERAL INDIANS KILLED.
Outcome of a Game Warden Trying
to Arrest Utes on Snake River.

DENVER, Oct. Ex-Governor Adams
has received the following from Deputy
Sheriff Watson at Rifle, Col:
Game Warden Wilcox tried to arrest
the Utes on the Snake River five miles
from Lily Park. They resisted, and
fired on the Wilcox party. No whites
were injured but several Indians were
killed and wounded. General Otis
should order the Duchesne troops out
at once to corral the Indians, and save
further trouble, as there is much alarm
here"
The Governor said he did not appre-
hend any serious trouble and would not
at present order out the State troops
General Otis is inclined to discredit the
report of the conflict, in the absence Of
report from the officer at Fort
Duchesne. The troops there could soon
reach the scene of the trouble, but he
would send them if necessary.
Advices from Rifle indicate that the
trouble commenced last week, when
the Utes began pouring over the line
from Utah on their annual fall hunt.

LUETGERT MURDER CASE.
Attorney Phalen Says a Second

not reveal the name Of my informant,

he lives at present, but it is within 200
miles Of Chicago, and the man is an
ex-official of the place. He is abso-
lutety positive that he has seen Mrs.
Luetgert within a few days. The in
formation, together with his identifica-
tion, is startling in directness.
1t is believed that the information
comes from Davenport, Ia, 1S5 miles
west of Chicago. Soon after Mrs. Luet-
gert's disappearance a report reached
Chicago that she was seen in Daven-
port, and also in Rock Island. ILL.,,
across the river from Davenport, but
investigation proved the report untrue.
Attorney Phalen called at the State
Attorneys office to-day TO consult with
States Attorney Deneen and Assistant
States Attorney McEwan with refer
ence TO the Luetgert case. Mr.. Deneen,
however, was not at his Office, as his
health has been somewhat affected by
the long strain of the trial.
Mr.. Phalen said that he would much
rather have the case continued for a
while, but if necessary he would as
soon begin tomorrow as any time.
No steps lookink toward an applica-
ton for bail for Luetgert have been
made, nor will any be until after an
other conference between the States
Attorney and the defense.

Several hundred prominent citizens of
the best classes are now in prison by
order of President Zelaya or his Off
GERS. Each of these prisoners has been
heavily fined or a demand has been
made upon him to pay large forced
loan to Zelaya's Government. More
than 100 of these citizens are impr1son-
ed in the penitentiary. The charges
against them are not being in sympa-
thy with Zelaya's Government, having
sided with the revolutionists against
his Government in some way. or having
refused to pay or declared inability to
pay the forced loans demanded.
A large percentage of the principal
stores in the country owned by the ma
tive Nicaraguans have been closed by
President Zelaya's Government under
various preteXts, such as inability or
refusal on the part of the owners of
the stores to pay their shares of the
large sum demanded, and because their
owners were suspected of having given
aid TO the revolutionists
Foreign countries are affected by this
