Made in Prison.

Canon City, April 26.-The discovery has
been made that some very successful
coiners have been operating inside the
state penitentiary here. The counterfeits
made are silver dollars and it is believed
they are of a combination principally of
babbit metal which was used in setting
the gratings during the construction of
the prison. 1t is supposed the coins were
made in plaster of paris molds. The coins
were first discovered by merchants who
sold delicacies to the prisoners. This led
to an investigation and 2S of the bogus
dollars were found in the possession of
the prisoners. though no clew was OBJ
tanned as to the identity of the coiners.
The coins are so we'll executed as to de-
ceive almost any one.

valley to engage in the cattle business
there upon the assurance of the Short

In conversation with a Salt Lake
Herald representative Mr. Berry said
that the main thing which led to their
decision was their meeting with Ore
gon Short Line officials at Idaho Falls
last week. The railroad officials at
that time assured both Mr.. Berry and
Mr.. Brown that there would be no
delay in building a branch line up the
valley and on to the Yellowstone Ma

to Idaho at that time was to ask for

went farther and stated that it was the
intention of the Short Line company
to begin work on the line this sum-
mer if the concessions were granted,
and that from appearances the people
of the valley Were willing to meet
the railroad company half way.
Mr.. Brown said that he and his as
sociate had been all over the valley
and that the sentiment Of the entire
people was to do all in their power
to aid the construction of the road,
and that the visit Of the railroad men
had led to the belief that the line

Reports of a coming scramble among
the Chicago Omaha roads for diVis
ion of the Union Pacific traffic are now
attracting the attention of local rail-
road officials, says the Omaha Bee. The
prevailing opinion is that this strug-
gle is sure to come, and that when it
does. the Northwestern will not have
the monopoly it has been enjoying for
several years. Roads not directly in
terested in the relations which may
exist between the Union Pacific and
any other line are secretly hoping that
there will be a change. The connections
which the Vanderbilt lines now have,
giving them virtually a direct route
between the two oceans is said to give
them a footing upon which they put
forward a competition difficult fer 9TH
err roads to meet. They hold that a
break in this connection would be a
benefit to all Western roads by equal
izing conditions under which to seek
business.

MRS. SWIFTWATER BILL
Still Having Trouble With Her
Picturesque Husband.
LAYING FOR HER WILLIAM
An Air OF Secrecy and Mystery About
Her Mission-8ill Has Not Full
filed His Part of the FL
nancial Contract.

Mrs. saltwater Bill, wife of Bill
Gates, better known to the concert hall
patrons of Butte as Grace LIE More and
sister of Gussie and Nellie, is still hav-
ing trouble with her picturesque Klon-
dixie husband. Grace is in Seattle, and
while it would be uncaled for to refer
to her as a hen, she is nevertheless
laying for her William. Mrs. Gates. for
she maintains that she is still Mrs
Gates and that no divorce has been
granted, is at the Hotel Butler. says
the Post-lntelligencer, to remain until
Mr.. Gates arrives from London, which,
she says, will be within a few days.
Bill has been away since last Deem
Der, visiting in New York and London.
where, 1t is said, he was aiding Alexan-
der Mcdonald in floating Klondike
mining companies on the London mar
ket. She does not know just what day
he will arrive, but declares that he will
come very soon.
Mrs. Gates will not tell why she has
come. There is an air of secrecy and
mystery profound about her mission.
She hints at many things that may
happen, but would not give the details
of her purposes or her desires. But she
has come, it seems, to hold her hus-
band to an agreement made last sum-
mer before he went to Dawson. At the
time they parted there was an arrange
ment as to what Bill should DO in tinan-
cial matters. 1t seems that he has not
fulfilled his end of the contract, and
Mrs. Gates is here to meet him and to
prod his memory. She had the same
difficulty last winter. 1t will be re-
membered that she spent a day here
just before Christmas, and then de-
parted for San Francisco.
But Mrs. Gates, who is a bright, pref
ty little blonde, will not make any
statement of her intentions; she will
not discuss the agreement that was
made, nor say that she is here to force
its fulfillment.
"Oh! I'm afraid that Bill will kill
me-" she said. II don't want to meet
him, for l hate him and I am afraid
of him. He tried to kidnap me when
I was here last winter, and he drew a
revolver and threatened to kill me-"

der which the Union Pacific and the
northwestern are working is a tenn
porary affair and can be terminated
at any time. 1t is not, as many have
supposed, long time contract. This
will further simplify the efforts which
are expected to bring about new dis
tribution of the Union Pacifics com
mercial favors
Another point upon which the OBJ
1ectlng roads are basing their COM
plants is the transfer of so many
Northwestern men to positions of in
i1uence on the Union Pacific line.
Agents of the former have been as
signed to important stations on the
latter. and they use their influence it
IS alleged, to direct all through traf-
fic over the Northwestern. Soliciting
agents of other roads find this con-
dltlon an almost insurmountable bar
r1er. They have to meet the influence
of this resident agent in nearly all
contracts, and the result is the other
lines are nearly driven from the field
coverered by the Union Pacific.
This transfer of the Northwestern
men is said to give that road an unfair
advantage and is charged as a violation
of an implied understanding that the
Union Pacific was to be neutral line
so far as affecting the course of bust
ness after leaving that road. 1t forms
the basis of one of the complaints
against the present policy of the Union
Pacific.
If the rearran gement of this traffic
agreement shall result in the North
western building its line from Casper.
Wyo., to Ogden, which has been
threat made by that road for several
years, that will not be a bad thing
for Omaha nor for the people living
along the northwestern extension of
that road. Any railroad building
