RIO GRANDE VS.. SHORT LINE.
Keen Competition to Bring Visitors
to Town Today.

The merry war of skirmishing for
the bulk of the immense passenger
traffic that will arrive in and depart
from town today. which has been going
on between the Rio Grande Western
and Oregon Short Line. has acted as a
sort of grindstOne to the wits of the
personnel of the passenger departments
of both roads.
The skirmishing has at times deVel-
oped into the proportions of battle
with smokeless powder and bullets in
the form of big wadS of paper adorned
with startling headlines and seductive
tones as ammunition There have been
flank movements. stealthy marches and
counter-marches. and one or two mines
have been exploded by counter-mines-

of the mounted gen d'armes doing duty
about the courtmartial, died suddenly
Thursday. The anti-Dreyfusites openly
charge the Dreyfusites with being re-
sponsibie for his death The local news
papers. in their accounts of it, print
in big headlines:
Another victim of the Dreyfusites'
venom cR
It's rumofeti that Colonel Lobe blew
out his brains because of attacks in
the newspapers friendly to NJ. Labor
since the shooting of the latter. An
other story is that death was due TO
heart disease. 1t is practically impos-
sible- to get at the truth.
AT military headquarters II is Vehem-
emily denied that Lobe committed sui
cide.
Colonel Lobe had been one of the most
conspicuous parsonage on the scene
since the beginning of the trial. At the
time of the assault on NJ. Labori he led
the first platoon detached to maintain
order on Richmond bridge, the scene of
the shooting.
There he was somewhat abrupt in
handling the friends of the wounded
lawyer who sought to get near him.
His conduct under the painful circum+
stances was severely commented upon.
Colonel Lobe took these attacks to
heart, and grew respondent to such a
degree that his health was affected.
Thursday. during the sitting of the
courtmartial. he was obliged to leave
the room. saying that he was too i'll
to remain until the close of the ses-
sion. Two hours later news of his
death leaked out
What serves to give an air of mys-
terry TO the happening was the conflict
ing statements, about the cause of
death. Two men who knew Lobe in
timately, said they noticed that his
mind was gradually being unbalanced
by listening to the debates at the Drey-
fus trial Two days ago, they declare,
he said it was hopeless to struggle
against the Jews, who now have the
upper hand, and will avenge the race on
"all of us officers of the army"

Written by Esterhazy.

Concluding his examination of the Sc
cret dOssier Colonel Picquart explained
how he mad acquired the conviction that
the bordereau was written by Ester
hazy. and how he ascertained that the
anti-Dreyfus proofs were worthless. He
began by detailing how he first learned
of the existence of Esterhazy and his
efforts to discover something about him.
The witness earnestly asserted that the
first occasion on which he saw Ester
hazy was when he read the address of
the Petit Bleu. He said he was not
acquainted with Esterhazy, and never
had EsterhaZy watched.
Previous to this the utmost efforts
had been made to prove the contrary,
and TO show picu1art knew Esterhazy
before the discovery CT the Petit Bleu.
Esterhazy's Bad Character.
The witness then rebutted the charges
against him of unnecessarily delaying
the prosecution of EsterhaZy. He said
picion in regard to an officer who, per-
haps. was entirely innocent.
What a mistake he added. would
have been aVerted in 1894 had they
acted in the same way in regard to
Dreyfus.
This remark caused murmurs of APP
prevail in court.
What the witness gathered about Es-
terhazy's character. he continued. ere
ated the worst impression upon him,
but he learned nothing to connect Es-.
terhazy with any act of espionage.
Therefore he did not mention his sus-
picions An agent, however. was or
dered TO watch EsterhaZy, who had
completely compromised himself
through his relations with an English
company, of which he had agreed to
become a director.
That could not be permitted in the
case of French officer said Picquart.
Moreover. EsterhaZy gambled. led a
life Of debauchery and lived with Mile.
