the terms on which he will surrender.
The letter came in care of an Omaha

himself up at once and stand trial for
the kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, pro-
vided he is not locked up until Il jury
shall adjudge him guilty. He says he
is unable to furnish bond in excess of
$500 and demands that bail be fixed in
that sum.
Chief Donahue expresses himself as
satisfied that the letter came from
Grove. Donahue has known Grove
for several years. is acquainted with
his manner, handwriting and style of
speech. The chief has also received n
letter from Groves uncle mt Manches-
ter. Iowa, submitting similar terms
for Groves surrender, which leads the
police TO believe that they are dealing

SHOOTING OF THREE BOYS
BY A LEADVILLE RANCHMAN

This gentleman. Frank Bochaty, asked
Sherman to bring in n few pigeons for
him also. Jesse thereupon loaded his
double-barreled shotgun and placed 1t
in the buggy to take with him. He
made tlfe remark as he passed out that
they had been having lots of trouble
from boys of the city going out and
stealing pigeons and rabbits.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman arrived
at the ranch they saw number OF
boys about the place. several of whom
had guns and We're apparently hunting
on the property.
Sherman's story from this point Is
that when he saw the boys he conclud-
ed he would catch them and give them
Il good scare He said 1t was his idea
to get them all together, get their
names and report them to the new
owner of the property. AS he jumped
from the buggy with his gun in his
hands, the boys saw ham and started
to run in different directions. There
We're eight boys in the party. One of
the boys, lad named Adams, he
caught. He told him to stand by the
barn until he got the others. and Sher,
man then started in pursuit of them.
A moment later the boy at the barn
heard Il shot, and running to the end
of the barn he saw his companions fall,
but he did not see the shot fired. Sher
man says. that as he started running
after the boys. who were about 100
yards ahead of him, he shouted to them
to stop. but they ran all the faster. and
that while he was in pursuit he STUN
bled and in some manner the gun was
accidentally discharged. three lads,
Dorrington. King and Considine being
laid low by the one shot.
Sherman ran up to the boys and. see
ing their condition. shouted TO his wife
to bring up the buggy. which she did.
Leaving his wife to walk home. he put
the three boys into the vehicle and
started for the city on n dead run.
The trip was made in such short time
that the horse dropped dead after ar
riving in Leadville. Sherman sum
moned surgeons for all of the boys. and
then called at the Jail and gave himself

Irresponsible Power.

In studying the great opposing forces
which, In their infinite variety of comhi-

the history OF the world is the story of a

idea of responsibility for power is Of in
iinitely slow growth, but ii lies in en-
bryonlc form at The very root of civilian
