SUIT AGAINSI- SMELiEh thOS ! {.
Attorney General of Colorado Begins
Dissolution Proceedings.


Denver, July 1.-Proceedings on be-
half of the state Of Colorado to dis
solve the smelter trust were started In
the state supreme court yesterday.
In voluminous complaint, filed by
Attorney General Post, 1t is set forth
that the American Smelling and Re
fining company and several other
smelter concerns are in a combine to
restrict competition in the smelling
business; that the results OF the mo-
nopoly are injurious to the industries
of the state; that it is violating the laws
and that it is paying unreasonable div
idends upon excessive and fictitious
capitalization. The complaint asks
that all of the defendants be adjudged
to have forfeited their rights to do
business in the state and that they be
ousted and forever excluded from do
ing business in the state, and that a
receiver be appointed to take charge
of their property.
The court stated that in fairness to
the defendants they should receive
notification OF the suit. therefore the
filing of the proceedings was withheld
until they can be informed of the con-
tents of the attorney generals com
plant. The hearing on the states
right to proceed with the suit will
probably be set down for next Satur-
day

BARGE SINKS WITH SIX MEN.
Dunbar Goes to the Bottom Near
keIly's Island,


Sandusky, o., June 30.-It is feared
that at least six lives were lost in the
terrible storm which ragged on Lake
Erie yesterday. Word was received
here that the steam barge Dunbar
went down ten miles from Kellys isl
and The barge carried crew of ten
and six of the crew are still unac
counted for The captain, John Little
of Port Huron, two women and .
sailor arrived at Kelly's island In d
yawl. When they reached shallow
water near Kelly's island the yaw
capsized and the occupants were
thrown into the water. The heav.
seas washed them ashore and people
who were watching on shore tool
them in charge. So far as is known
the four are the only survivors Of {
crew of ten.
The missing men, are: Mate Myror
Tuttle Engineer Johnson, Wheelsmar
Eek, Fireman Charles Washie anc
two men whose names are not YET
learned.
Captain Little devoted most of his
efforts to saving the lives OF his fam
lily. He did not see the crew after he
left the vessel and is of the opinion
that if they took to a raft they must
have perished. because no small craft
could live in the sea that was raging
at the time

storm of unprecedented severity Ac-
cording to the local weather Dure3u
reports, 5.45 inches Of rain fell here
between 2:30 a. m. Saturday and s
p. m. Sunday. At times the storm
equaled cloudburst in severity.
The storm was the most widespread
that has been experienced in this
country for many years, according to
weather bureau officials, extending
from the Rocky mountains to the Allie
ghenies. In Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio tcad

from one to two inches.
Considerable damage, the total esti-
mated at about $250,000, resulted from
the wind that accompanied the rain,
The wind attained velocity of almost
fifty-five miles an hour blowing down
trees, telephone, telegraph and troll
ley poles and interfering with COM
municstion of all sorts. From the
country surrounding came reports OF
destruction to crops and the washing
out of railroad tracks and bridges,
causing considerable delay to trains.

assumed grave proportions Saturday,
