rlissouri Pacific Engineer Killed.


Peublo, Colo, Feb. Oscar
Strand, a Missouri Pacific engi-
neer who died at Sedalia, Mo-,
this afternoon as the result of
gun shot wound, has been a resi-
dent of Pueblo for about twelve or
fourteen years, during all of which
time he was freight and passen-
ger engineer. He was A years of
age, a native of Sweden and unmar-
ried. He has no blood relatives
living except widower brother-in
law, who is resident of Silver
Cliff. He left Pueblo last Satur-
day night for two weeks vaca-
tion, and went to st. Louis and
thence to Sedalia, where he had
friends. In accordance with his
dying request the body will be
brought here for burial.
UNDER the existing laws road
overseers and the men who work
under them have been permitted
to defraud the public out of large
sums of money annually by an in
territorial misconstruction of the
statutes. The law requires them
to spend eight hours each day upon
the work to which they are as
signed. Sometimes an overseer is
employed five or six miles from
his home. He leaves at s o'clock
in the morning and returns at 5 in
the evening, deductIng from his
eight-hour day the time which he
consumes in the journey back and
forth. Senator Ammons' bill, No.
Az, is intended to remedy this
state of affairs. 1t provides that
all road overseers and their gangs
must put in eight hours of actual
work each day.

New Coal Vein.

Canon City, Feb. 3.-One of the
greatest coal discoveries that has
ever been made in Fremont county
is just reported by E. p. Earle.
Mr.. Earle recently went to work
about a quarter of mile from
Chandler, and at the foot of fifty
foot slope encountered bedrock.
At the same time strong vein of
coal appeared in the breast of the
workings, which had evidently
broken through the bedrock. Thus
the lucky miner be-
gan prospecting along the face of
the bedrock at right angles with
his slope. After passing through
twenty-one feet of sand rock which
paralleled the first seam, a second
seam of equal dimensions was en-
countered, and now Mr.. Earle has
the prospect of one of the most ex-
tensive coal mines in this part of
the state. The ID. q r. G.. railway
company has agreed to extend its
tracks from Chandler to handle the
product of the company, thus en-
abling the proprietor to put his
coal on the market at once.

THE VESSELS SPAIN LOST.
Efforts TO secure the Reina Nerce-

Washington. July 13.-An offer from
n prominent firm of ship brokers, do
ing large foreign business. TO pur-
chase the Reina Mercedes and any and
all OF the war craft captured during
the late war. has aroused a suspicion
that Spain is trying in this indirect
manner TO obtain possession of the
vessels and thus remove the offense to
Spanish pride caused by the boating
OF the American flag over her ships.
The offer mentioned no figures. but
simply requested that the navy depart
mcnt name its price for he Mercedes
and the remainder OF the captured
Spanish ships. The navy department.
will not sell any of these vessels. and
that answer will be returned To the
writer Of the letter. Secretary Long
has decided that it would not pay 10
attempt 20 renoyate the Mercedes and
use her as warship. The cost would
be no less than half million dollars.
md the ship would. when repaired. be
OF old type and not up to the require
mcnts OF a modern naval ship. There
fore the repairs 10 be made on her will
be- confined to little painting and
cleaning and patching and the Mer-
cedes will be left as show ship. like
the old Constitution, to crafty the pa
triotiSm OF the American people.
