sTRATToN WILL CASE.
Probate Proceedings Postponed Until
Next Month.

Colorado Springs, oct. 5.-Judge Orr.
in the County Court yesterday, ruled
that the Stratton will should not be
presented for probate in that court un-
til November 10th, and all proceedings
before that tribunal will be continued
to that date. This does not prevent
the executors taking such steps as may
be deemed necessary to expedite mat
ters, but it is understood that the case
will be allowed to rest until the time
set by Judge Orr The administrators
played a game of delay and had the
court postpone the hearing of the will
until later in the day, and intimated
that they would attempt to have post
ponement until some day the next
week.
When the second attempt was made
at 11:30 o'clock to probate the will be-
fore Judge Orr the attorneys for I.
Harry Stratton, the son, appeared and
asked the court to issue a summons
calling all the legatees and benehciaries
into court at some later date, to be
present when the will should formally
be offered for probate.
This was strenuously objected to by
the attorneys for the executors. Judge
Orr oyerruled their objections and i'm
mediately ordered the citation issued
and set November 10th as the day when
the legatees should appear and the will
be probated. The effect of this order is
to stop all procedure in connection with
probating the will until that date.
In the District Court Judge W. s.
Seeds set the hearing for the contro-
versy between the executors and ad-
ministrators for next Thursday morn
ing. Judge Seeds will probably be out
of town and Judge Cunningham will
preside 1t is thought that the exec
utors will ask for more time on certain
matters connected with the adminis-
| traitors appointment, and n contin-
uance Of the entire matter ia possible.

WYOMING RAILROADS.
Plans and Runors of Plans for Build
inq Many New Lines.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Oct. Present in
dications are that next year Will be one
of railroad construction and improve
ment in Wyoming. In addition to plans
for improvement and extension that
have been announced there are n num-
ber of rumors of work which will be
done which cannot now be substan-
tiated Chief of the work mapped out
is the double tracking of the entire
Wyoming division of the Union Pacific
Work will commence in Cheyenne early
in the spring and the number of men
employed will discount the cutoff days
on Sherman hill, when the riff-raff of
the country came to Wyoming on con-
tract labor.
Then the Union Pacific will undoubt-
edly build into the Grand Encampment
country The survey for this line has
been marked with 5000 grade stakes to
the mile, corps of surveyors being in
the field the entire summer. The Over
land will have to build within a short
time to get ahead of the Laramie.
Hahn's Peak & Pacific and the South
ern Wyoming Railway Company, both
of which were organized to build to
the Grand Encampment section. and
one of which. the Laramie. Hahns
Peak & Pacific. will not pause at Cen
VI.
Immediately, and from there through
the southern part of the Grand En-
campment district into Routt county
Colorado. that is unless headed off by
the Union Pacific. Either this COM
pany or the Union Pacific will eventu-
ally connect with the Moffat road near
Steamboat Springs.
The Burlington undoubtedly contem-
plates an extension of its Cody branch
through the Big Horn basin and to
Camp Irwin, on the northern edge OF
the Shoshone reservation. There could
have been no object in building to
| Cody, but a line through the basin
would in short time cause to grow up
| a tributary country business that would
more than pay ample interest on the
money invested.
At the rate the Hendersons are put
ting down wells in the Lander field 0t
they carry out their announced inten-
tion) they should begin the construc-
tion of a line from Casper or the Union
Pacific to Lander within the next six
months.
In addition there are reports of a
short line extension from st. Anthony
Idaho. into the Yellowstone park coun-
try: Burlington extensions from Lyons
Colorado. into Wyoming. and from
Guernsey across the state in a north.

General Booth in New York.

New York, Oct. 6.-The Academy
OF Music was completely filled with
three audiences yesterday, gathered
to listen to the preaching of General
Booth of the Salvation Army. who rs
in this country on an evangelical cam
paign. Meetings were held at IL
o'clock. 3 O'Clock and o'clock. The
estimates of those officers OF the To-
cal staff who have charge of the meet
ings In this city were that 5000 per
sons heard General Booth. A contin-
uous and heavy rain had no effect in
keeping either Salvation Army people
or the general public from the meet
ings. About one-third of those pres
ent wore Salvation Army regalia.

poxPXIn PIE DAY.
Handsomely Celebrated at Lorgmont
In Spite of the Rain.

Denver. Oct. IA News special
from Longmont last night says:
Rnin. rain, and more rain. Such in
brief IS the history Of Longmont's
fourth annual Pumpkin Pie Day, and
as a consequence thousands of peo-
ple ate pie and barbecued meat while
standing in mud ankle deep and en-
veloped in a drizzling, misty rain.
It began raining Wednesday morning
and made up for n long dry season
by keeping steadily at It all last night
and to-day. For about two hours at
noon rain stopped falling, and at this
interval the barbecue was at its
height.
Despite the steady downpour. how
ever. the crowds began TO arrive very
early. the morning trains bringing in
n good duota and special trains ar
riying later from Denver and Boulder
bringing large numbers. A committee
of citizens. headed by Mayor Donovan
and the Pumpkin Huskers' band, met
the visitors at the TRAN and escorted
them to the barbecue grounds. at the
park. where every tree was made a
shelter and every bush a tree. In the
midst OF it all, Thompson's park was
soon converted into sea OF mud by
the thousands of feet, and the slip
ping, sliding and slushing was ludic-
crous., and often resulted disastrous
ly to the hurried or careless indiyid-
ual by landing him in soft seat OF
Shiny clay But the crowd was in q
good nature through 1t all, and the
woman in silk. muddy and spattered.
ate pie and drank coffee along with
her less fortunate sisters with good
humor.
Rube Coflr. in charge Of the barbe-
cue, and Neil c. Sullivan Of the Pump
kin Pie committee. led the procession
for tho masculine element with pants
tucked in boots, overalls and jump
ers. and they and their assistants
worked and slipped and joked as
though enjoying the rainy-day festi-
val. As fast as the three beeves were
carved the crowds carried the meat
away. each man, woman and child be-
ing given generous supply upon o
wooden plate with a cup of hot coffee
on the side, and as one detachment
disappeared from the table others
Took up their positions to be quickly
served with the same rations.
When the least was over more than
1900 people had partaken. coming
from Greeley. Denver and nearby
towns and surrounding country. As
for the races-well, the only race pos
sible on the track today would have
been with canoes or fiotilla Of cat
boats. The balloon ascension and all
horse races were called off last night
and the pumpkin pie and barbecue
features had a clear field.
Considering the weather. 1t was
grand success though preparation had
been made to take care of at least TO-
900 people. Great quantities of bread
and pies are left over and these Will
be distributed to the needy.

RADIO building. He said he represented
Governor Orman. who was unable to
be present.
After promising a Colorado exhibit
which would fairly represent the in
dustries and the people of this state,
MT. Unonnell paid the following trib-
ute to Colorado people:
"Our people live upon the mountain
4 tops and commune with the angels.
We sit upon the ridge-pole of the world
and calmly survey the actions OF man
kind. We stand upon the summit of
the mountains and look into the very
| heart of things We live at the source
of the streams which form your rivers
and make fertile your vast deltas. We
live between perpetual sunshine and
( eternal snow, and piercing our clear
: sky our keen vision plainly sees the
great white throne which is to you only
a hope"
In accepting the flag of Colorado, Mr..
O'Donnell said:
1--WE have gold and silver and coal
and iron and horses and cattle and
grains and fruits. a civilization that Is
both old and new. and traditions of o
past that is ancient as Eden. but the
proudest of our products are our peo-
pie In whose name we pledge you sup
port and fealty this day. In the name
of that people and for them ! accept
this flag. this site and our humble par,

bath ordered by Mr.. Carnegie for
Akibo Castle is finished. It is the
costliest and biggest private bath in
the kingdom. 1t is ninety feet long
and thirty-six feet wide, with steps
leading to the water. On all sides are
luxurious dressing rooms to match the

Stockmen want a census of the cat
tie of the country taken every year.
They claim that the cattle industry is
the largest in the United States and
believe that 1t should have more con-
sideration. They want Congress to
adopt a measure calling for yearly
census and that the information be
given out ninety days after being col
lected.
one of the surprising features OF the
horticultural display at the recent Pu-
eblo fair was the number of nuts
shown from various counties through
ont the state. We have always thought
our people ought to plant more nuts
along fence rows and on the banks of
irrigating bitches. To grow such trees
as walnuts and butternuts. plant the
nuts in the fall from four to six inches
deep. one nut in n place. or better, two
nuts in a hole II both grow, destroy
the weakest one the next year The
frost will crack the nuts. Place the
mt where the tree is to stand, for
these trees are not easily transplanted
and will grow faster II not. man in
Jefferson county has walnut trees
planted thirteen years ago and has had
nuts from them for five years. Some
of the finest trees lining the country
roads adjacent to Boulder are big. fine
black walnuts that nearly overtop the
street. The oldest domestic tree In
Iarimer county is a black walnut, the
seeding of nut planted by an immi-
grant In 1S5e.-Field and Farm.

"wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 6.-To Dis
trict Secretaries and All Mine Workers
in the anthracite FIeld-You have. no
doubt. read in the daily papers the pro-
ceedings of the conference at the White
House last Friday. in which your OFF,
GERS proposed an immediate resumption
of work IL the operations would agree
with you to refer lhe question at issue
in the strike TO the decision Of the
President OF the United States and q
tribunal named by him. You have
noted the reply of the president OF the
coal carrying railroads. in which they
responded to our overtures by denounc-
ing the union, its members and officers
in the most vehement and malicious
manner possible. They also declared
that a large majority of the strikers
would return to work If given military
protection. and they demanded that the
President send United States troops to
the coal fields.
In order to demonstrate to the
people of our country that the state
ments of the operators are unfounded
and that the mine workers are law
abiding citizens. the officers of all To-
cal unions should call mass meetings
of all men on strike, union and nom

that the mine workers are not re-
strained from going to work by fear of
bodily harm, and If this is the senti-
ment prevailing at the meeting, resolu-
tions should be adopted emphatically
declaring the statements of the opera
tors TO be untrue.
1--WE also advise that acts of lawless-
ness by the coal and iron police and by
strikers be denounced and the services
of members of the union rendered to
the local authorities to preserve law
and order.
Great care should be exercised that
those on coal strike do not permit
themselves TO be provoked by the coal
and iron police into the commission of
overt acts. The operators. failing to

against you by making false claims
that a reign of terror exists in the coal

this struggle for living wages and
American conditions of employment is

saying that victory will be achieved in
the near future. The heart of the Ma
