TAXPAYERS WILL TEST
NEW REVENUE LAW

Denver. Colo. May 1S.-Thc Pueblo
correspondent of the Denver News
says:
Thirty days will probably clnpsc be-
fore court proceedings are begun to
test the validity of the new revenue
law. Attorneys for all the great cor
porations in Pueblo ana Denver have
ncld several conferences at the capital
and here. and they are continuing their
consideration by mail. All interests
opposed to the law will unite in sin
gle case to test the regularity of the
statute and proceedings will be taken
either in Pueblo or in Denver.
Decision has not finally been reached
as to the method of attack. but unless
there is n change from the plans Mt
present the assault will be made
through that portion of the bill re-
Quiring the payment OF fee of 81 into
the District Court on the institution of
II new suit. If this method is adopted
n complaint of some sort Will he pre-
sented to the clerk of the District
Court of Pueblo or Denver and of
course when refusal to pny the 81 rev.
enue fee is announced the clerk will
refuse TO receive the case. Steps Will
then he taken to secure a writ of man
damus to compel acceptance of the
documents in the case without pay
mcnt of the 81 revenue fee. In sup
port of the request for II writ of man
damus there will he cited all the nl-
legged irregularities in the passage of
the bill and the attack will cover the
validity of passage Of the entire meas
urc. In this way the whole question
will be presented 10 the court in con
ncction with one of the most trifling
sections of the law.

morning from Skagway and other
ports of southeastern Alaska, with n
large number of passengers. Among

PIXIES PEAK CLOUD
BURST PLAYS HAVOC

Cripple Creek. Colo, May 2O.-The
two largest reservoirs of the Victor
water works. near the head of Little
Beaver creek went out this afternoon,
sending wall of water twenty feet
high down the gulch. One bent of the
high trestle on the Short Line railway
was taken out, stopping traffic for
probably two days. The great wave
of water rolled down the gulch. wip-
ing out three dwelling houses near the
Spinney mill and breaking against the
new steel concrete dam of the Pixies
Peak Power Company, two miles be-
low. Fortunately the engineer for
freight engine crossing the trestle saw
the wall of water coming down from
above and started the engine whistle
blowing as Il warning. while driving
his engine across to safety.
The inmates of the cabins in the
sweep of the water heard the whistle,
rushed out, and seeing the water com
ing down upon them. escaped to the
hills. The big dam of the Power
company showed the metal of which
II is made by withstanding the mighty
onrush of the water. The commissary
was swept away, the men escaping TO
the hills. Water poured four feet over
the top of the dam, but receded in
thirty minutes to the normal height.
No lives were lost.
A cloudburst on Pixies Peak took
out the reservoir dams, which had
been weakened by the heavy rains of
the past week. Superintendent KRAFT
ger of the Victor system will start re-
pair work ut once. but 1t will be n
long and difficult job. Victor is left
with 800 gallons of water stored in the
Battle mountain and Bull hill tanks.
This, with careful outstanding, will
| last two weeks for domestic purposes,
but the mines which have been rely
ing on the city plant for supply will
he shut off and some of them may be
forced to shut down. The telephone
line from Cripple Creek to Colorado
Springs was carried away by the
floods. The damage to property will
be about 5000.
