ground formerly owned by Colonel
AppOnyi in the Seven Lakes district,
together with number of reservoir
sites, and power site with fall OF
LOO feet a few feet distant from and
below the dam laid OF by the city ell
gineer as dam site for the proposed
Seven Lakes reservoir. which the city
is contemplating purchasing.
The new Short Line management IS
to be not financially interested In the
project, though the officials are cog
infant Of the details of the plans. The
steam short line would undoubtedly
benefit greatly by the close cOnnec-
tons made with the proposed electric
and an immense passenger traffic
would ensue.
Though the conditions attending the
erection Of the new roadbed are dif-
ficult in the extreme. the best engi-
neering skill will be called into requi
sftion, and IL, as is now thought, opera
tions will be started at once, the line
would be In shape for the summer
tourist season next year.
Manager c. w. Sells of the Cog road
is pessimistic regarding the feasibility
of the project. stating that at no time
was his own road overtaxed, and that
a second road would reduce profits to
both systems to an alarming degree,
should another track be built. He ia
of the opinion that the atmospheric
conditions above 1900 feet preclude
electric operations, the static electricl-
ty interfering with the trolley wires.
The syndicate back of the new
scheme. however, are not deferred
from the plan, having evidently satis-
fed themselves as to the practicability
of the promotion.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. L.
Denver Republican Special)-In line
with the other great Improvements
and innovations recently established in
this vicinity. Colorado Springs capital
lists are about to construct and Oper-
ate an electric railway 10 the summit
OF Pixies Peak. the road 10 begin about
twenty-six miles up the new Short
Line, near Clyde. and to be eleven to
fifteen miles In length. No cogs Will
be used in the construction. the pro-
moters being assured Of grade that
Will enable them to operate without
their aid.
Many promoters Of the gigantic
trust company soon to operate In this
city are also heavily interested in the
new project. The principal promoters
of the electric railway scheme are:
w. A. Obs & Co. G. NJ. MacNeill, E.
P. Shove. G. T. Noble. Henry Hine
and the firm of Hall, Babbitt & Thay-
er. Upon the latter will devolve the
legal work, the others representing an
immense amount of capital.
The COMPANY is to be incorporated
Immediately at Il nominal capltaliza-
ton, amounting 10 probably 100000,
and stock and bond issue will prob
ably be promoted for the purpose of
securing the necessary equipment.

The question. therefore. is whether
under the law and the evidence any
verdict could be rendered by the Jury
which could be sustained.
The court has grave doubts whether
there is any valid and sufficient
statute in this state defining en-
bracery and prescribing its punish
ment, but without passing upon that
question at this time, the court feels
compelled by the law and the evidence
In the cases now before the court TO
grant the motion of the defendants,
on the ground that the evidence n
wholly insufficient to warrant or to
sustain a verdict in the cases now on
trial.
The defendants will, therefore. be
discharged, but the court is more fully
convinced than ever that the course
and procedure recommended and
adopted by this court inn the contempt
proceedings are both regular and
proper. In addition the court believes
that neither In the contempt pro-
ceedings nor In the cases now on trial
before the court was there any legal
evidence that required the iiling Of In
formations against Messrs. Tammen
and Bonfils.
Judge Mullins then instructed the
jury to elect one Of their number fore
man and return the verdict az he had
instructed, which was done.

CLEVELAND, OHIO SWEPT
BY DEVASTATING FLOODS

Cleveland, O.. Sept. With the
breaking Of dawn this morning the cit
liens Of Cleveland awoke to look upon
a scene Of devastation and destruction
caused by a raging food. While the
the entire city was more or less affect
ed the great volume of raging water
wasted its anger over miles of the east
ern portion of the city and caused an
amount Of damage estimated at ST.
100000.
The overflow was caused by heavy
rain that commenced TO fall shortly
after 2 o'clock. turned into n perfect
cloudburst between the hours of
and 8, and then continued with great
force until nearly 10 o'clock. The storm
according to the weather officials, was
the heaviest that has swept over Cleve-
land since the establishment of the gov.
ernment bureau In this city over forty
years ago There was no loss of life
The waters spread over an area In
the east nearly eight miles long and n
mile and half wide. This extended
from Woodland Hills avenue to East
Cleveland and back to East Madison
avenue.
Great volumes of water poured over
from Doan and Giddings brooks down
Quincy street, swamped Vienna street,
rushed over Cedar avenue, back over
on East Prospect street, rushed like a
mill race down Lincoln avenue to Euc-
lid avenue. and then on to Glen Park
place, where houses were undermined
as though built of straw, and large
damage done to streets and property.
Over large share of this exclusive
residence territory the water rushed
with terrific force varying In depth
from one to six feet. Culverts, trestles
and bridges were torn down and for
hours nothing seemed capable Of STEM
ming the tide H.
Hundreds Of residents who were i'm
prisoned in their beautiful homes like
stranded islanders were almost panic

TAMMEN AND BONFILS
CLEARED BY COURT

Denver, Sept. Judge Mullins yes
terday granted the motion Of Attorney
Milton Smith and instructed the jury
to acquit Fl. II. Tammen, F. G. Bon
fils, w. ]. Thomas, Daniel ]. Sadlier
and Robert Schroeder, charged with
attempting to bribe Jury to return a
verdict against w. w. Anderson on
trial charged with the shooting Of
Tammen and Bonfils.
The order Of the court WINS as fol-
lows:
In cases numbered 1901 to 8, the
People versus Tammen ct al. the
court has during the recess fully and
carefully gone over and considered the
law and the evidence In the case now
before the court. The burden Of proof
in these cases ID upon the state. and
the state must show the guilt Of the
defendants beyond all reasonable
doubt. The law has clothed these de-
PENDANTS with the presumption Of in.
nocence. which protects them from the
beginning to the end of the trial. The
state having introduced Its evidence,
the defense under its rights has
asked the court to instruct the jury to
return verdict for the defendants.

stricken. expecting to be called upon to
wade out into the swirling waters at al
most every minute. Danger signals
were flashed about the city as speedily
as the disabled telephone system would
allow and the work of rescue COM
menced. Row boats piled back and
forth, assisting whole families from
perilous positions, but boats proved In
adequate and it was soon found neces-
sary to go to the extraordinary precau-
ton Of calling on the life-saying crew
from the river a distance OF seven
miles.
The life boats were quickly loaded
on wagons and hurried to the scene of
destruction.
The torrent surged with great force
for hours in Deering street, from Fair
mount to the Boulevard and over q
dozen families were penned In with
water five and six feet deep surround
ing their homes. At this point the life
saving crew worked valiantly and, as
sisted by squads of firemen and police
men finally succeeded In landing the
terror-stricken people in places Of
safety. The fear was greatly enhanced
by the momentary expectation that the
great Shaker Heights dam would break
loose.
Shortly before noon the torrent un-
dermined score Of graves In the st.
Joseph cemetery, at the corner Of East
Madison and Woodland and the bodies
were soon being tossed about In the
waters. Fully a dozen of the corpses
were washed into cutters and had not
been recovered late tonight.
The flood boiled over the banks Of
Doane brook all along the Boulevard
and caused damage that 1t will take
months to repair. Great Jagged holes
are torn in the beautiful driveway.
To-day's rainfall was the greatest in
the local history Of weather statistics.
From about 5 o'clock this morning un-
til In the evening there was precip-
itation of 4.2S inches.
