at Glcnwood on the nth. made formal
protest against any change in the pres
ent land leasing system and denounced
the action of the recent convention of

the matter. The resolutions are strong
against any disposition of public lands
in any way other than already provid-
ed, and protest against the state lens-
ing its lands for grazing purposes. The
principal reasons advanced are that the
system of leasing gives the larger syn
dicates control of the ranges, 10 the
detrimcnt of the smaller stockmen, who
are farmers as well, and who have
their homes nt or near their ranges.

Two men armed with revolvers and
wearing black masks over their faces,
went into John =. Olson's saloon at
Telluride about l o'clock Wednesday
morning. One of them placed the muz-
zle of his gun against Mr.. Olson's
breast and told him to hand over all
the money In the cash register and to
open the safe. Mr. Olson told them to
help themselves to the money in the
register but said they might kill him
before he would open the safe, which
they had threatened to do If he did not
comply. There was only SO in the
register, and after taking this the
hold-ups walked out and disappeared.
Mr.. Olson was alone in the saloon, so
there was no one TO give the alarm mt
time when the robbers might have
been apprehended. There is no clue to
their identity.
