Business Collapse

There was suddcn and surprising
collapse of n retail grocery business
in Fort Collins last week. We al
ways regret to see failure in any lie.
gitimate business, but it seems this
particular one does not call for
sympathy John Taylor, at least
that was the name he went by, clam.
ing to be an Englishman, and proving
ii by his dialect, opened grocery
business few months ago, and sold
goods so cheap that he soon had n
rushing trade. To those who bought
his goods 1t was immaterial whether
he was making money or not. They
were getting things cheap, and that is
just what they were after.
Taylor at FIRST paid cash for his
goods, and soon established credit
with wholesale houses, when he began
to buy on time. His sales continued
good and it did seem he was making
at least some money, when all OF a
sudden things looked shaky and his
business took tumble. Then is when
it was discovered, when the veil had
been drawn aside, that his methods
we're dark and bad.
The c. $. Morey Mercantile Co. of
Denver, and others sued out attach
ments, the sheriff took possession, and
Taylor, the son of late English
consul at San. Francisco $50 he said)
is before the United States Court at
Denver to answer for violation of
the bankrupt law. The way of the
transgressor is hard.

Loco And Live Stock.

Ranchmoh in different parts of tle
state, but especially in the vicinity of
Hugo, are complaining of the injury
done to the cattle and sheep by the
loco weed, which the animals eat for
lack of something better. The grass
on the range is improving, and pro b.
ably the danger from loco will cease
for the present until later In the sum-
mer when the range becomes dry
again.
So much injury has already resulted
that ranchmen are anxiously inquIr-
lug whether there is any remedy for
the noxiols weed. The subject is
receiving the attention of the staff OF
professors at the Agricultural college,
but Prof. Carpenter says that they
are hampered in their work. by the
uncertainty whether the loco. disease
is really caused by eating tile weed
of that name. Ranchmen, farmers
and experimental agricultulrists diff
fer from one another on this point,
some of them denying while others
affirm that the loco weed is responsi-
BILE. 1t has been contended that
sage brush causes the disease, and
tho theory that it is caused by a fly
found upon that plant can make but
little difference to ranchmen, unless
some means Of destroying the insect
more effective than attempts to eradi-
cate the weed can be found.
The experiment of. offering a
bounty for the destruction of loco
weeds has been tried without much
success. 1t was charged at one time
that in order to obtain the bounty
some persons cultivated the weeds
and destroyed them after they at
tained sufficient growth. THIS or a
simila. obstacle must be contcnded
with in connection with almost all
bounty laws, except those calling for
the destruction OF dangerous wild
animals like wolves and mountain
lions.
The Agricultural College issued d
bulletin several years ago on loco
which, ~e presume, may be had upon
application to the college authorities

Kicked by a Horse
And Severely Hurt.

Last Monday afternoon while Mr..
John W. Rigeen was in his barn near
a young stallion, he was suddenly
kicked in the face, his nose being
broken in two places, lips badly
bruised and four teeth being loosened
in the front of the mouth so that they
were easily removed with the fingers.
Slight fracture of both upper and
lower jaw bones also resulted and
when found later BY members of his
family, heo was unconscious. DR..
Fischer was called and dressed the
wound IN such manner as to allow
of nourishment being taken through
a glass tube. at This writing We'd

department of agriculture IN WASH
ington has issued bulletin, No. 36,
on the "Stock Poisoning Plants of
Montana" iu which loco is to some
extent discussed. This bulletin may
be had by writing TO the agricultural
department.
It's a matter of regret that SO
little can be said on the subject in
question, for it is of great interest to
our ranchmcn. But the men who
have given more or less study to it
are at sea in regard to both the nature
and the solution of the problem.
Prof Carpenter says that a chemical
analysis of the plant does not show
anything injurious in it, and when it
is fed to stock no evil effect seems to
follow. Notwithstanding all this,
however, many stockmen are con-
vinced that the loco weed is the cause
OF the trouble, This opinion will no
doubt continue to be entertained
unless careful tests show the contrary
to be the case.-Denver Republican.

A Hold Up In
Big Creek Park.

On Tuesday, June 4, Harry Hun.
ter, with a mob of nine men with
arms, and five dogs, rode into Pearl
like band of out laws, ordering me
to move my cattle off of government
range at once. Not waiting for an
answer they took the dogs and began
running my cattle off the government
land. Now this Big Creek Co. has
better than 10000 acres of govern
ment land fenced in in Wyoming; al.
so between 5000 and 5000 acres
fenced in in Colorado, which is known
rs the Hill ranch.
l am going to enter complaint at
once and see if this government land
cannot be opened.
What is this country coming to
when q man cannot run a little bunch
of cattle on government land?

lection for my cattle. The citizens
of Pearl and prospectors are ready
to protect me and see fair play.

OIL GUSHING
AT MARCUS HOOK
Independent Line Operates in
Defiance Of Standard
Oil Trust

independent oil producers, despite the
opposition of the Standard OIL Company
and its allies, have been successful in es-
tablishing two parallel pipe lines from the
western oil fields to the seaboard, thus
being able to protect their own vast in
terests in the petroleum trade and cope
with their powerful antagonist. The
promoters are some Of the wealthiest oil
operators. They organized in 1892 as the
United States Pipe Line Company.
The oil. both crude and refined, began
coming eastward the first Of the month
and Is now rushing to the Marcus Hook
terminal, on the Delaware river, in Della
ware county, at the rate Of 10000 barrels
each day.
The Marcus Hook pier is 600 feet long by
GO feet broad. Storage tauks with a ca
lpacitv of 5000 barrels each, refineries
