CHURCH GIFT ATTACKED.
Mrs. Henry Cole Says Husbands For
tune Is Due to Her Work.

Denver, July 12.-Fred T. Henry yes
terday filed in the District Court for
Mrs. Henry Cole a complaint setting
forth that Coles recent gift of $4OO,
600, principally in Denver real estate,
to the Methodist Church through the
Peniel Trust Association, was for the
purpose of defrauding the wife Of her
rights, and asking for half of the prop
erty. The complaint goes thoroughly
over the history of the accumulation of
the property as well as the charges
against Mr.. Cole. 1t recites the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. Cole was married to the defend
ant December %, 1871, when the de-
fendant was car builder for the Den
yer & Rio Grande, and had no proper
ty except his personal effects. During
the ensliing ten years, Mrs. Cole says,
while her husband worked at his
trade, she kept boarding house, doing
her own cooking and investing her saw
ings in the time checks of employees of
the company, buying them at a dis
count. She used her profits in buying
small parcels of Denver real estate. By
1881, she says, there was so much of
this property that her hsuband was
enabled to leave his position and go
into the real estate business, with her
property as his stock in trade. At his
request she put all her property into
his name; she says he then, selling
hers, bought other property, always in
his own name. This state of affairs
went on until last January, so far as
business was concerned. But the COM
plant goes on to say that during the
last ten years Cole has shown her only
disrespect and neglect; that he has
treated her as a servant, refusing to
allow her to hire any one to help her
with the housework.
During the past two years, she adds,
he has not given her any money for
her personal use or to buy articles
needed in the house, excepting $50 in
1901. He also made a row about pay
ing her bills for clothing, etc, and on
March list of this year, quarreled with
her without cause, telling her to go
where she pleased and with whom she
pleased, and that he would do the
same. She consented to this arrange
ment, provided that he would divide
their property equally between them.
This Mr.. Cole angrily refused to do, ac-
cOrding to the complaint. and further
declared that she should have moth
ing, as he intended to dispose Of the
entire property in such a way that she
would not be able to touch it. Then,
the complaint AYERS, in order to carry
out his threat, and in the guise of a
religious and philanthropic gift, Mr..
Cole, with fraudulent intent to deprive
his wife of her rights, assigned the
entire estate to the Peniel trust.

A DESPERATE CREDITOR.
Denver Attorney Held All Night At
the Point Of a Revolver.

Denver. July IA. B. Sullivan, 4
prominent attorney and formerly a
wealthy real estate owner of this city,
on Friday night last underwent a ter
rible ordeal at the hands of Michael f.
Keefe, formerly a fireman on the South
Park railroad, being held in duress in
Keefe's room, 100S Ninth street, at
the point of a revolver. from 1 o'clock
Friday afternoon until $40 n. m. Sat
urday. The police knew of his situa-
ton, but were afraid to act. as Keefe
threatened to kill his victim in case
of the least attempt ut interference.
Sullivan was finally freed by Ser
geant OF Police Frank W.. Lee, who
went upstairs to Keefe's room and
grappled with Keefe after Sullivan,
emboldened by Lees approach, had got
out of the room and had n scufiie with
his selfconstituted jailor. during which
three shots were fired without doing
any damage.
Several years ago Keefe intrusted all
his money, the saving of lifetime to
Sullivan for investment, the sum, with
accrued interest. now amounting TO
about $1,000. Sullivan failed and went
into bankruptcy. since which Keefe has
been unable to obtain any considerable
sum from him. Having been crippled
in wreck and being blind in one eye,
Keefe Is left helpless and penniless
while he believes that Sullivan is living
In luxury on money that he has se-
creted from his creditors.
Grown utterly desperate, Keefe final
ly decoyed Sullivan to his room and
there covered him with a revolver and
swore that he should never go away
alive until the debt was paid.
Keefe was taken into custody and
lodged In Jail.

LIGHTNING-LIKE JUSTICE.
Brutal Cheyenne Criminal RaiIroaded
to the Penitentiary.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 11.-Early this
morning the police arrested Art. Funk,
thirty-eight years of age, for criminal
assault on the two little daughters of
Dan Synder. The children are four
and ten years of age, and were de-
coyed to Funk's room at o'clock last
night and kept there until after mid
night. They were then permitted to
leave and told their story.
For fear that summary justice might
be dealt out to the brute. the closest
Funk punished by the law in record
time. At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon
he was arraigned in the justice court
on two charges of assault. pleaded
guilty and was bound to the District
Court. At 4:30 o'clock he pleaded
guilty to both charges and was SEN
fenced by Judge Scott to fourteen years
in the penitentiary on each charge,
the second term to commence at the ex-
piration of the first. making twenty
eight years in all. This is the extreme
limit of the law for the offense.
The next train for Rawlins would
have left at 11:2O o'clock tonight, but
the sheriff found that delayed train
would leave at $50 o'clock, and start
ed his man for the penitentiary on
that. By l o'clock tomorrow morning
he will be behind the bars.
Funk came to Cheyenne from Den
yer in April and has been employed as
a saloon cleaner.

Next Years Fat Stock Show.

The general committee on arrange
ments and the finance committee of
the fat stock show to be held in Den
YER next February, held n meeting III
Denver July Sth TO talk over the plans
and methods for raising the necessary
money to make the show a success.
There was a large attendance and the
greatest enthusiasm in the proposed
show was manifested.
The secretary reported all kinds of
encouragement coming from all over
the West. The committee estimated
that about $4,000 would be needed to
carry out the plans and pay the prizes
and 1t was decided that the money
would have to be raised by popular
subscription. AS there is to be no Fes-
tival of Mountain and Plain this year,
and as this show together with the two
big conventions to be held ut the same
time will bring to Denver large num-
ber Of stockmen from all over the
West, 1t is believed the business men
of Denver will cheerfully contribute
the necessary funds needed.
The new packing house will be in Op-
Grafton mt the time of the show, and
the event will be made a proper cele-
bration of the opening of a new era in
the live stock business for Denver.
Cattle. hogs and sheep will be brought
here from all over the West and 1t is
believed that the stockmen themselves
will be astonished at what they can do
in the way of producing fat stock in
this section. Many are already prepar-
ing for the show and are experiment
ing In raising beef, pork and mutton
without the use Of corn. If Colorado
and the West can do this successfully.
1t will mean bonanza for the Western
people every time the corn states have
hot winds and crop failure.
A number of subcommittee We're
appointed for the purpose Of raising
the funds needed and the work of get
ting the money necessary will be start
ed Immediately.

FEEDING Beet Pulp.

James a. IOckhart, president of the
Lockhart Live Stock Company of
Rocky Ford. Colorado, which had as
many as 5000 head Of cattle on feed
mt one time last winter, is quoted in
the Drovers' Telegram as saying that
1t required forty-five acres of pens
alone, and then the cattle were put
just as close together as was helpful
and convenient. The whole ranch COW
cred some 5000 acres, part of which
was devoted TO raising grains and hay,
yet this was not enough to feed the
cattle and grain had TO be secured
elsewhere. Mr.. Lockhart said he has
used $4,000 bushels of corn during the
season and fed over 5000 tons of hay
to the steers. Over ten miles of mar
row gauge railway was built within
the premises to carry feed from the
stacks and barns to the feed lots. To
feed that large number Of cattle re-
quired eight men and II took them two
solid hours to make the rounds of the
pens. Had not the greatest economy
of space and convenience been applied
in building the pens a still larger force
Of men would be required to feed the
stock.
During the winter the firm used So
600 tons Of beet pulp. This was some
thing of an experiment, and while not
yet perfectly worked out, Mr.. Lock
hart says he Is satisfied that this feed
will be invaluable to Colorado cattle
men II scientifically used.
"The mistake made by most stock
men," said he, Lies In the fact that
they do not realize that the pulp Is
composed for the most part of nothing
but water The average pulp shows
but eight per cent. Of solid or fat-pro-
ducing matter, while the other ninety
two per cent. consists of plain water
The pulp is cheap, costing but 30 cents
n ton wholesale, but when you figure
that you get only 100 pounds of solid
matter for the 80 cents, 1t does not
seem 80 cheap. The trouble with mex
perlenced feeders In handling beet pulp
IL that they use the stuff us they would
corn. Our experiments have shown
that II is invaluable to start steers on
but rs they begin to tieslien up, corn,
hay and regular hard, hesh-making
feeds should be given In ample qunn-
titles. The beauty of the pulp Is that
1t Is an excellent digestive and IL to
the steer what apple sauce Is to the hu-
man being.
with stockers ana calves, the beet
pulp makes a feed that cannot be sur
passed. We had 1900 calves on hand
this year and fed them on pulp ana
hay. The factories should have no
trouble In selling their surplus pulp
fnr feeding to stockers alone"

FARMING MATTERS.

The leading swne-raising states are,
in their order, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,
Nebraska, Indiana and Kansas. Iowa,
with 9,723,791 has 1871 per cent. of all
the hogs in the United States, and they
constitute nearly One-fifth of the
wealth of the state.
The directors Of the Colorado State
Fair Association have appointed Mr..
Eugene II. Grubb of Carbondale super
intendent of the cattle department and
G. +. Martin Of Denver assistant su-
perintendent The fair will be held at
Pueblo in September.
Wool men estimate that the wool
crop of Colorado this year will amount
to 3,OOO,OOO pounds. Prices have
reached 131a cents pound, starting
earlier in the season at II cents. The
wool is said by the experts to be of
better quality than usual, but not so
large in quantity on account of poor
pastures and lack of rain earlier in the
year.
The highest price ever paid for
dressed beef cattle in the West was
received on the Kansas City market
July 9th, when thirty-eight high-grade
Hereford and ShOrthorn steers, aver
aging 1,4S3 pounds, sold for $3.50 per
100 pounds, or $126.Oj per head. The
cattle were fed on shelled corn and
wheat. They gained 500 pounds in
nine months.
