From the Denver Republican.
Six thousand bushels of unsacked wheat
cot loose and went on a tear. 1t hap
nened in the warehouse of the F. c. Ayres
Mercantile Company yesterday afternoon.
The scenes that followed were something
similar to those described by Victor Hugo
when a cannon got loose from its fasten-
ings on board ship and rolled and reared
from one end of the gun deck to another
until the ship was disabled and a num-
her of its crew killed. only nobody was
killed by the wheat.
In the rear of the Ayres warehouse are
four great bins, built up from the ground
floor. and capable of holding twenty-five
carloads of wheat at time. Ihey are
substantial affairs, and once a gram OF
wheat gets into them it is pretty hkely
TO stay there safe from rats and thieves,
until its owners get ready to shovel 1t
out again.
About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
company's bookkeeper, sitting in his Of
flee at the front of the building, lOO feet
or more from the bins, heard terrific rip
ming tearing, splintering sound, as If the
whole end of the warehouse was being
torn out by a monster hand. Before he
had time to jump out of his chair this
sound was succeeded by another, a rum

Lodore or the approach of hurricane. lie
rushed from the little box of an office out
onto the main floor of the warehouse. he
paused, gasped for Dreath ana threw up
his hands.
What he saw was giant wave of wheat
flowing toward him, licking at the very
heels of a dozen laborers who had been
at work near the bins and who We're now
fleeing for their lives. The wave flowed
high a foam of wheat swapping from its
crest now and then and falling in granny
snrav on the heads of the pursued. After
ward the men ran whisk brooms down
their backs to brush the tickly wheat out.
The ocean Of wheat moved onward for
a score of feet or more and then Gained
down as suddenly as if barrel of oil
had been spread on its troubled waves,
The bookkeeper yelled to the iaboring
men to stop running, pulled his hands
down to their accustomed pockets, took
deep sigh and whisued

arisen, drifted away and the bookkeeper
and the laboring men could see what had
happened. 1t didn't take long. One of
the stout beams had grown weak from
the burden on its back and snapped In two.
hundred other stout beams had followed

prisoned wheat to do but to make a rush
for a less confined resting place. There
were 5000 bushels of il in the bin. and
it was no wonder that its moving caused

After the dozen laboring men had recov-
cred their wits and gone to work again
the little boOkkeeper in the front office
said the damage done would not exceed

HOBsoN TELLS OF HIS PLANS.
How He VIII Use Bags to Save More
Spanish War ships.

From the New YORK world.
While Lieut. II. p Hobson was m this
city on the way to Washington from Bos-
ton, he explained for the readers of the
Sunday World just how he proposed to
raise the Colon. He said: Il propose TO
use air-bags and compressed air. only. By
that method I hope to float the Colon. No,
1 do not intend 10 use pontoons.
First. the vessel will have to be made
steady where she is. She lies on her
beam ends, stern to the shore with her
military mast sticking Out almost Level
with the water.
parallel with the military mast I now
propose rigging two large spars, one at
her bow and one at her stern. These spars
I would connect by chains. At the ends of
the spars, along the chains and at the
tod of the spaTs l would place air bags,
some immersed, so that The vessel can
turn neither one way nor the other. If
she tries to come up keel first the buoy
ant bags win stop her and so with the
other portions.
"The Colon will have to be turned until
she is broadside to the shore. Heavy ca
bles will be necessary to swing her bow
around We are taking some of the ma
chinery out of her, but probably will not
attempt to remove the heaviest pieces.
We think we can raise her with her ma
chinery on board.
'.Then air will have to be forced into
the uninjured air compartments OF the
Colon and into air bags fastened along
her deck and such as may be placed in
SIDE her hold This should lift the Colon.
We used a great many pumps on the Ma
ria Theresa, but more will be necessary
for the Colon.

THAT proposition never came from me-

note to the Bank of Bronson for Sl5
with Holeman as security. On March
4, 1898, Holeman paid off the note and
interest amounting to Sl646. and the
bank assigned it to him. After al
lowing it to run fog five years less one
day, Holeman began suit March 8,
1898 to recover the note and interest.
The defence stated that there was no
cause for action because note expired
under three year statute of limitation.
Wheaton held that the assignment of
tie note put it under the five-year
statute and that all agreements fol.
lowing the assignment. The decision
was accepted and the case will be
settled.
