NORTHERN BEET DISTRICT.
Railway Building Along the Big
Thompson.

Denver, April 21.-The work ON
the railway of the Great West
ern Beet Sugar Company, ex-
tending on both sides of the Big
Thompson, in the beet fields of northern
Colorado, Is progressing steadily, says
the News, and it Is assured that the
road will be completed in due time this
summer. This road is the first of the
kind attempted by any of the large
sugar companies in the mountain re-
gion. 1t is intended primarily as
means of conveying the beels to the
factory and its largest business will
be during the fall and winter. The
road will be operated daily throughout
the year, and as the farms are divided
into smaller parts and settlers are
introduced, the sugar beet road will
gradually perform the work of an Or
binary railroad.
Reports from the different portions Of
the territory received at headquarters
of the Great Western company in Dem
ver are highly encouraging. The COM
pany expects to plant 14.OOO acres in
beets this spring, and 1000 acres are
already planted. Eight or ten superin-
tendents, each accredited to a certain
district, are in tho field directing the
planting of the beet seed. The COM
pany SUPPLIES and plants the seed, ex-
pecting the farmer to put the ground in
proper condition for the work. After
the seeds are in the ground, the farm
er is expected to attend to the culti-
walton of the beets, weed the fields,
thin out the beets and convey the tu-
bers to the nearest station for delivery
to the factory. The beet seed is
brought from Germany, and orders
were placed months ago for 2SO,OOO
pounds of seed to supply the require
ments Of the Loveland factory.
The region of Eaton and Greeley are
unusually active this spring on account
of the increase in cultivated acreage
required by the sugar beet plants at
those places

KANSAS CITY, April 2O.--A destructive
fire visited the southwestern part OF this
city today. laying waste a section Of dwell
ing houses almost a quarter of a mile long
and block wide and doing damage to the
amount of $4,000
John Slime of Quincy, Ill. a spectator,
was fatally injured by a falling piece OF
iron, and Edward Bennett, a fireman, was
overcome by heat.
About fifty dwelling houses were de-
stroyed and sixty or more families were
rendered homeless. A high wind, amount
ing almost to a gale was blowing and the
flames spread with alarming rapidity.
Because Of a mistake In the alarm sent
in the arrival Of the iremen was delayed
and the fire had gained much he0dway be
fore they commenced operations.
The fire started In n grocery store, and
after destroying nearby buildings was car
making the work Of the fremen extremely
dificult.
Burning embers we're blown more than
half a mile and for time all of that por-
tion Of the city was threatened.
After three hours OF hard fighting the fire
was under control. Many persons lost all
Of their belongings. Much furniture and
other property was destroyed, after having
been piled in supposed places Of safety.
Most of the residents who suffered loss
are poor. Those who need assistance are
being cared for temporarily by neighbors

FIND VERDICT HARD TO REACH
Jury I'm Case of Negro Held for Mil

Unable to Agree.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April 2o.-The jury in
the case against William Strother. the
negro charged with the murder Of A. Deane
Cooper, the millionaire, who was killed in
a bathhouse several months ago, was un-
able to agree on a verdict after being out
all last night and at an early hour this
morning was discharged by Judge Ryan.
The jury stood seven for acquittal and
FIVE for conviction. Seven ballots we're
taken.
According to the statement Of one Of the
jurors the first ballot stood six for convic-
tion and six for acquittal On the second
ballot one of the Jurors changed his vote
from conviction to acquittai. The other
ballots showed no change
J. ]. Kavanaugh, the foreman OF the jury,
in answer to the questions of Judge Ryan.
stated that it was his opinion that no ver-
dict could be reached. other jurors were
of the same opinion. The jury was then
discharged from further service.
The standing Of the jury caused great
surprise aroung the Four Courts and to
those who had followed the trial. After the
jury retired 1t was thought a verdict would
be reached in short time, because Of the
strong case made by the prosecution.
Strother was present in court when the
Jury was discharged and appeared much re-
lieved over the outcome Of the trial. HIS
case will go over to the fall term OF court
