PRODUCT OF FERTILE BRAIN
No Reporters Allowed in Roosevelt
Party and No One Knows How
Many Wild Beasts He Has
Disposed Of.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
says Theodore Roosevelt is becoming
n butt Of ridicule owing to the fertile
imaginations Of correspondents in Den
yer, who are working overtime grind
Ing out romantic tales purporting to be
chronicles of the Governors adven-
lures.
These reports are furnished daily,
with all clahorat'on. but not one story
10 true. according 10 the manager of
the telephone line from Meeker to
Rife. the railroad point where the first
telegraph connection is obtained.
He declares there has not been line
OF report over his wires from the day
Mr.. Roosevelt left for the ranch. four
miles from the telephone terminus. to
the present day.
Two reporters tried to go with the
Roosevelt party, but were told that
they could not get accommodations at
Coyote Ranch, and It would be no use
for them to accompany the party.
They were distinctly told that they
were intruders. but refused to accept
the rebuff. so they remained at Meek
er, where they industriously grind out
all sorts of horrible adventures for the
East. The Colorado papers are not
publishing any Of these stories. fearing
It would injure their circulation with
the men who are trying to provide an
enjoyable time for the hunters.
The hand-to-hand struggle story. In
which the brave hunter stabbed two
| lions to the heart. was made out Of
whole cloth at Colorado Springs. Yes
terday mornings narrative about his
being freed by four wolves came from a
Denver correspondent. who was order
ed by newspaper to furnish daily a
report of terrific adventure. A story
sent out last night represents Roose-
welt as crying over the death Of a
hound. This was manufactured in
Denver.
The only authentic account so far is
the fact that Roosevelt arrived at his
destination and took the field. At his
request nothing further has been said
locally, and until he emerges from Sc
clusion there is not much prospect OF
getting accurate information.
His privacy is respected. and when
the truth is told it will appear that
there are fewer wild animals in Colo.
RADIO than correspondents would have
II appear.
