dividends shall have been paid on the
preferred stock, or in 1906 at the latest.
The Oregon Short Line, which owns
the major portion of the common stock
of the Oregon Railway and navigation
company, is privileged at any time to
secure control of the latter by advanc-
ing the dividends on the common stock.
This will not be done until the Union
Pacific gets ready to take possession OF
the property, when, as it controls the
Oregon Short Line, 1T can absorb the
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany at will under this agreement.
The completion of this agreement is
but another step in %recouping the for
tunes OF the Union Pacific, which SUI
fered such disintergration under the
r~eceivership. The two lines which will
furnish the Union Pacific a direct route
to the north Pacific ccaet are now in
process of absorption, the Oregon short
line deal having been completed sew
eral weeks ago, and being now In course
of transfer. While the Union Pacific
has obtained operating rights over both
of these roads, such rights are not so
satisfactory as direct ownership and
control, when the two roads are so
important to the successful manage
ment Of the main line.-Bee.

MRS. CAYLoR LOSES HER MONEY.
Denver Agent Takes Her Cash and
Gives Her His Checks.

A warrant was issued in Justice Pick
ems court room this morning for the
arrest of w. H. Hamilton.
Hamilton has for some time lived
with his wife at the Richelieu hotel on
fremont street.
Mrs. Matte Caylor of Laramie, Wyo.,
came to Denver for the purpose OF emu
barking in the hotel business. She met
Hamilton, who undertook to act as her
agent, and to secure for her a good and
suitable location. After looking the
town over Hamilton finally decided on
the Richelieu, owing to its close prox-
unity to the leading hotels and its very
fine bar privileges.
AS the building was MOI for sale, Mrs.
Caylor desired ITO purchase the FURNISH
ings and gave Hamilton $3.50 to COM
plete the purchase. According to the
complaint the alleged sale vas not
made and Mrs. Caylor wants her money
She went to Hamilton, who gave her
two checks on the Denver National
bank, and when presented there were
no funds.
Mrs. Caylor took the checks to Ham
i.ton and when through telling her
story he asked ito see them and tore
them in shreds. Mlts. Caylor gathered
them up, pasted them together. and
they are now in the hands OF the dis
trict attorney.
Hamilton was arreJ,ed for passing
fraudulent checks, according to the COM
plainit, and has given bona for his ap-
pearance. His bondsmen this morning
turned him over to the court, and an
officer was dispatched with a warrant,
but at noon time he had not been found.
