UNDOUBTEDLY BURIED.
Last Seen Of James Owens He Was
Enroute to the Bobtaii Mine.

RED MOUNTAIN, Colo, March 10.
Indications are now such as to
make it almost certain that James
Owens perished in snowslide. He
left Ouray on the 26th and came to
Red Mountain. He was stopping with
some men in frame cabin near this
place On the 18th OF February Mr.
Owens left for the Bobtail mine to
secure work. 1t was during the big
storm when the snow was sliding
The Bobtail mine is located near Iron
ton in Commodore gulch, and to reach
it some dangerous ground has to be
started for the mine several slides
came down and as he has not been
seen or heard OF since 1t seems GER
tain that he must have been caught
and now lies at the bottom of the
gulch covered. no one knows, how
deep.
The above dispatch verifies the one
received by The Herald Thursday
from Ouray Mrs. Owens and child
have been in the city few days and
were appItsed of the fact. Mrs.
Owens was in communication with
Red Mountain last evening by tele-
phone and will probably go to Red
Mountain, although it will be impos
sible to do any good. The family
have ranch on the Colorado-New
Mexico line, but there is no water on
it--only a small cabin and a few
acres cultivated. Mr.. Owens visited
his wife and daughter in Durango
Christmas week, Mrs. Owens coming
in from the ranch to meet him, the
couple stopping at the Blain hotel.
Mr.. Owens left the day before New
Years for the Red Mountain district
where he has been working in the
mines for sometime.
He has brother in Denver who
has been apprised OF the situation.

Not Guilty of Trying to Extort Money
From Prisoners.

Denver, April 2S.-The formal report
completely eXonerating Secretary Clar-
ence l.. Stonaker of the state board of
pardons from the charges preferred by
convicts and others, was submitted
yesterday. 1t follows:
Denver Colo, April "a, 1902.
'To His Excellency, James b. Orman,
Governor of Colorado:
''Sir-Upon your personal request,
made to the president of the State
Board of Charities and Correction ana
made subseqent to the filing of certain
charges against G. l.. Stonaker, which
charges We're accompanied by the ntii-
davits furnished by one Kenneth NJ.
Laurie, an inquiry was made by the
members of our board, in conjunction
with the state board of pardons.
Two sessions We're held ut the state
penitentiary ut Canon City, on Sunday
afternoon and evening, April IL, 1907,
at which twenty-five persons were eN-
amined under oath.
Adjourned sessions of this inquiry
We're held in the Senate chamber nj
the state capitol, on Wednesday after
noon and evening, April 10th, and on
Saturday evening, April 10Th. In all
forty persons We're examined, under
oath, and every possible effort WAS
made to secure full and complete In
formation from all persons having
| knowledge of any fact bearing upon
his investigation. a full and complete
stenographic report was made, and 1t
is submitted along with the papers in
] this case.
although every opportunity was
publicly given to any person or persons
, to appear during the sessions of the
joint boards to present further charges
or statements rejecting upon the OIL
cial conduct of @. Il. Stonallcr, we find
that the charges preferred against him,
of receiving or attempting TO eXtort
money from prisoners or others have
not i'll any respect been sustained, ana,
in our Judgment, nothing adduced in
the evidence reflects upon his official
honesty.
Respectfully submitted.
Signed by 20. S. Storrs, president;

The above report is concurred In
and adopted as the report of the State

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON-
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of St. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
Introduction into our markets OF in
furious substitutes in place OF whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents
pound, there is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods. to use
1t. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis. but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten 70
twenty cents for pound can, or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass, or piece of crockery. or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der OF established name and charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusadss, the
alum danger will, 1t Is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

SPECULATlNG IN SEATS.
1t will Cost Money to See the Corona
tion Procession.

London, April 2S.-Permanent resi-
dents of London are suffering from the
efforts being made by the city for the
coronation There is scarcely Il street
through which the procession will pass,
but has not been torn up.
The newspapers, both here and in
America. are full of Measurements
concerning the cost of seats to view
the coronation professions and rs to
what the hotels will charge visitors.
Spectators and those having seats to
sell are giving the impression that
there is IL tremendous demand on the
part of rich Americans and other for
eigners, who are said to be paying any
price asked in order 20 see the show.
Ridiculous statements as to the prices
paid for certain windows or seats in
Piccadilly or elsewhere have been CON
stantly published. Seats in the best
positions in Piccadilly the most
sought-after positions, could yesterday
be had for from eighty TO twenty gui-
meas, according to the row. This was
for the first days procession. For the
second day the prices asked were from
three to seven guineas. In Pall Mall,
where the buildings are mostly clubs
and very few windows are to let the
prices are slightly higher. For the sec
ond days procession along the Strand.
seats cost four to seven guineas. At
ST. Paul four huge stands will be erect
ed and the prices are from three to sew
en- gineas. on the south side of the
river the best seats cost five TO seven
guineas.
The hotel question, however. is less
encouraging for the intending visitors.
The managers of the Cecil. Carlton, Sa-
voy and Berliley, all said yesterday
that they did not have single room
vacant for coronation week.

DE wINDr's EXPEDITION.
Members Suffer From Terribly In
tense Cold.

Letters have been received in Lon
don from Harry De Windt. leader of
the expedition which is attempting to
make its way overland from Paris to
New York. dated NerkhOyansk, East
Siberia, at the end of February. In
spite of the forebodings of the officials
of Yakutsk, who strongly urged Mr..
De Windt not to continue his journey,
saying the conditions were worse this
year than ever. the expedition reached
Nerkhoyansk, 600 miles north of Yak
utsk, February 2Sth.
The members of the expedition had
terrible experience while crossing
the Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold
was intense, sixty-three degrees below
zero being registered. All the travel
ers We're frost bitten. Otherwise they
We're well and in good spirits and We're
leaving the same day for Sredne
Kolymsk, town of East Siberia. 300
miles further OH. which the party
hoped to reach about the middle OF
March, Then 1t was their intention TO
push on 1.5OO miles to East cape, on
Behring straits. Probably the next
news of the expedition will be its ar
rival in the United States via the Beh-
ring straits. De Windt mentions re
port that Baron Tolls expeditionary
ship Zaria was stranded off the Sibe-
rian islands, with only seven tons Of
coal ON board

She Would Not be
Without 1t Now.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound it
does SO much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific
And what are stomach troubles, The easiest
answer is that three-guarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect US proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr.. w. Bowel, of "a, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col, writes: 81 wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogelers Curative
Compound for long time and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without a bottle now"
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost
