TEMPLE
DOORS CLOSED WHILE AN IN.
VOICE OF STOCK OF GOODS
IS BEING TAKEN.
Representative Of the Referee in Bank
ruptey Takes Charge and Meeting
Of Creditors Will be Hold After
This Proceeding-Invoieing to Be-
gin Monday II Possible.

The doors of the Temple Of Econo-
my were closed today, after a confer
ence with Attorney Clyde M. Watts
of Cheyenne, representing the referee
in bankruptcy, and remain closed until
an invoice of the stock has been taken
and the matter gotten in such shape
that the stock on hand car be dispos-
ed Of for the benefit Of the creditors.
1t Is believed that the taking of in.
voice will begin Monday, and that when
that has been completed. and the ref
cree is in possession Of the state of
affairs, a meeting of the creditors will
be called, a trustee appointed and the
affairs Of the embarrassed firm
Strengthened out. Parties in interest
could not say this afternoon how long
a time would be consumed In the TAX.
ing of the invoice, and could not ap.
proximate a date for the first meeting
of the creditors.
There was a rumor on the street
that when the tangle caused by the
bankruptcy proceedings had been
Strengthened out, the stock would be
bought in a lump by a local dealer and
the business Of the old and new stores
consolidated in the Temple building
but Republican reporters were unable
to get any confirmation Of the rumor
As far as could be learned the only
foundation for the report vas that q
certain business lady had suggested to
a friend that 1t would be better for the
city II the stock could be purchased
in bulk and the business continued.
At the first meeting of creditors 9
trustee or trustees will be appointed
and some definite plan for the future
decided upon. A large part of the debt
is owned by the Albany County Nation
al bank, and that corporation takes
deep interest in the conduct Of the af
fairs Of the defunct Temple and it,
firm. Other interests are quite exten
tensive, and the disposition Of the bust
ness will be watched with keen inter
est all along the line.

Concerning Electric Railways

The failure of the promoters Of
the Florence & Canon City Electric
Railroad Company to appear before
the city council at its last meeting
and urge its members to grant a
franchise permitting the road to be
built into this city may be disap-
pointment to some people. and seem
to indicate that the whole scheme has
been abandoned. Such, however, is
not the case, as we are assured that
Mr.. Robinson has ample money
pledged to build and equip the pro.
posed road and that he intends to be-
gin actual work of construction as
soon as the necessary franchises can be
obtained. and other preliminaries
settled.
In the event that Mr.. Robinson
decides to drop his connection with
the affair, which is not at all prob
able. The Record understands that

an incident in a revision court:
A certain person who figured on the
register WAS objected to by one of the
agents on the ground that he was dead.
The revising barrister declined to ac-
cept the assurance. however. and de-
manded conclusive testimony on the
point.
Thereupon the agent OF the other
side rose and gave corroborative evi-
dence as TO the decease OF the gentle
man in question.
And pray. sir. how do you know the
mans deadT' demanded the barrister
"well." was the reply, II don't know.

HE December meeting of the
County Horticultural Society
was held at the court house Saturday
last.
NJ. E. Snow for the special com.
mittee appointed to assist Fruit In
spector White in gathering exhibits
for the state fair held in September,
reported that Fremont county took
first premiums ON the largest variety
of fruit, and took first district
premium. The district comprises
some half dozen counties. There were
exhibited from this county about 700
exhibits and premiums amounting to
about S400 were secured by the fruit
growers of Fremont county. Mr..
Snow said several other counties were
close upon us in the race for first
premium and said that it would be-
hoove our fruit growers to bestir
themselves, if they expected to con-
tinue to take first prize at next years
fair.

at least two other companies stand

whom it is alleged would like TO build
an electric line from this city to
Cripple Creek and Victor, as well ms
to Florence.
We are not at liberty to state any
thing in relation to the companies
referred to. except that they are will
ing to build the road if the plans of
Mr.. Robinson and his associates
should be relinquished, indeed. it is
more than possible that one of them
may decide to ask for franchise in
spite of the present status of affairs.
We feel assured that before the

procuring one, but whether it will
be owned by Mr.. Robinsons company

Indifferent sport, they resolved on rid.

did, galloping over the lands of Farm

farmyard. There they were confront.

a fork. He closed the gates and In
formed the party bluntly that they
had been trespassing on his ground
and trampling on his young wheat and
that he would not allow one of them TO
leave his fnrmyard until he had paid
fine of sovereign for the damage
done.
They whispered that the prince
himself was of the party. Prince or

THE OLD DOMINION
Consequences of a District Meeting
 Anxiously Awaited.

Superintendent r. w Hoar left last d meeting of the board of directors of the Old Dominion company, which will likely have important consequences for Globe, says the Silver Belt. MT. Dun can McVichic, one of the experts who have reported on Old Dominion, was also expected to be present at the meet ing. Boston advices state that the re- ports of the experts have been received and are favorable. but the essential facts will not be laid before the stock holders until after consultation with Messrs. McVichie and Hoar, and the directors say the report on the mine will not be used to influence the price of stock On the market.
 The production of the Old Dominion mine for June aggregated S2O,0O0 pounds of copper. A production of 800, 900 pounds per month or better has been maintained since the first of the year.
 The Boston News Bureau of July 10 prints the following very interesting statement:
 "The Gila Valley, Globe and North ern railroad, which was built between Bowie, Arizona, and Globe, distance of 125 miles, to accommodate the Old Dominion and United Globe properties at the latter camp. is contemplating a material reduction in freight rates.
 "There has been considerable dissat- isfaction on the part of the new man. agement of the Old Dominion over the schedule of rates now in force and the fact that the contract between the rail- road and the Old Dominion company expires at the close of this year may have had considerable to do with the decision of the Gila Valley railroad people to reduce rates.
 "The Old Dominion company has been paying in excess of GOO per annum in freight rates, which fact has had much to do with the high cost of the Cid Dominion copper. This reduc- ton in rates will not only permit the Old Dominion to work lower grade ores, but will permit of a larger profit upon the present production, as it is under stood that the proposed reduction in rates will be about one-third.
 "This reduction will also be of great benefit to the United Globe and the Arizona Commercial companies. The latter company is contempla ting the erection of a concentrating plant at Globe.''
