At that time he had long talk with his broth- CT and saw no evidence of any mental change whatever. On passing through New York to-day he said he stopped at his brothers office and closely ques- toned business associates, who all de- clared that it was impossible that Rob- ert Renlingtons mind was unbalanced.

As to his brothers financial condition. he said that all he knew was that his brother had a good income.

GATES LOSES MOTHER ROUND.
Fight for Control of the Colorado Fuel
 E Iron Company.

{ s J Denver, Aug. 1S.--The John w. Gates faction of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company have lost another round in the battle for the control of that company. Judge Riner, of the United States dis trict court, tonight denied the Gates application for preliminary injunction to prevent officials of the company from
 refusing to allow them to vote proxies they claim to hold at the Stockholders
 meeting tomorrow in this city, The suit, which was brought in the name of John J. Mitchell and others against the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, was
 based upon the alleged fraudulent and absolutely void bylaw which was adopted by the board of directors of the company on July 30 last, and which, the compliments charged, was framed and
 adopted for the purpose of enabling the
 present, officials of the Colorado Fuel
 and Iron company to dictate, the action of to-morrow's meeting, and also to de-
 prive the eomplainants and the share
 holders they represent by proxy from voting at such meeting. Judge Rim CT held that the allegations in the
 plll Ol Coltplcill1t WClGluily illCt cIlu u6- nied by the answer of the defendant
 company. In deciding the application for preliminary injunction the court was not expected to pass upon questions of law. However, he would say that
 on it's face, the bylaws provided for an orderly and lawful method of conduct- ing a shareholders meeting and that apparently there was no other purpose in. view. The bylaw was adopted in good faith. The application for prelim.
 mary injunction would therefore be de
 nied.
 The application was made several
 days ago and a. brilliant array of legal
 talent was retained on either side of ths case. The court room tonight was
 crowded with spectators. MT. Gates and
 his friends listened attentively to the reading of the decision, and as soon as it was completed left the court room with their attorneys.

Bet ts. Blakeslee.
Total

Previous to the eaucuses last night it was claimed by the Blakeslee faction that about fifty votes would come their way, but before half the returns had come in at the headquarters of the Betts supporters it was evident that MT. Betts was the stronger of the two, and favor would be large.
 The new registration law seemed to have no effect on the number of voters that turned out at the different eau cuses, for the number was about the same as before the law went into ef- feet. Every one of the places was filled and some of the caucuses were rushed, while at others there was fight. The caucus in the Twelfth ward lasted until after ii o'clock and the one in the Elev- enth was nearly as lengthy. In the Tenth ward, where it was expected there would be a long and hard fight, the caucus lasted less than half an hour and was one of the most peaceful in the city.
 In the Eleventh ward the most stub- born fight of the evening took place when several ballots had to be cast for a choice. This was so in the Eighth when at first it looked as though things were going to go for Major Blakeslee. The Betts people hung on and before the evening was over that faction had won everything there in sight, claiming all of the eight delegates to the con- vention. Another fight was expected in the Fourth ward but things went along f,,II, aYit hni "a result. Voters in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards also split their dele gations, but fnl all of the others one of the two factions had matters their own way. The four republicans to act as delegates from this town at the state convention will be chosen at the repub- lican town convention to be held in Re- publican hall this evening.
 Following are the caucuses by wards:
 First Ward.
 In the First ward there was a short but spirited contest between the repre- sentatives of the Betts and Blakeslee factions, but the former won out. The executive committee of the board stood five to four, and minority report was about to be presented when it was de- cided that the matter be determined in the election of the members of the state committee This resulted overwhelm- ingly in favor of the Betts faction, and the rest of the appointments were clear ly of Betts men.
 The delegates are: State, S. s. Thompson, W. H. Atwood, William Gay, John Mccarthy; congressional, George B. Martin, F. E. Warrington, Charles Lavere, W. H. Minor; sheriff, N. Candee, J. F. Rice, T. E. Smith, F. R. Fisher; probate, J. M Beck, c w. Ross, A.. Maxcy Hitler, J T. Sloan, jr {; senatorial, J. T. Sloan, jr., N. s. Blatch- ley, c. A. Ingersoll, Henry Hillman; representative, H. B.
