Syndicate Secures Townsite Of
Routt,s County Seat.

The syndicate headed by ID. X. Lee
and Charles W. Reitier of Denver,
which has purchased the town of
Steamboat Springs and surrounding
country to the extent of $40 acres,
is planning to make that locality the
finest watering place in the country
There are plenty of springs of medi-
cinal virtue in the purchase and peo-
pie who have travelled all over Europe
say that they have seen no place to
equal it in natural advantages for a
health and pleasure resort
The intention is to lay out addition
al lots and build up the town in every.
way. The town itself occupies eighty
acres of the purchase, with 400 lots,
$50 of which have been sold The
remainder will be laid out, as will
lots in the contiguous land A fine
large hotel, an up-to-date bathouse
aud a sanitarium are included in the
building plans. There is spring
with a temperature of 100 degrees on
the plot of forty acres of land four
miles north of the town, and the
water from this will be piped into
the town. In the town there is
spring with temperature of lO3
degrees, where the bathhouse will be
located and other springs near the
town are scattered about II conven-
lent groups
Steamboat Springs is the CONNER
cial center and the largest town of
Routt county. 1t is great ranch

town is on spur it is estimated
that the population will quickly jump

No int crest has been paid on the bonds for seventeen years and ac- crued interest now amounts to s57, 800. At the instance of the minority Romare as trustee filed a bill of foreclosure and asked for a receiver. The majority re- moved Romare and appointed Marsh and Hoyt. and sought an injunction restrain ing Romare.

''THE DEVIL" HAS
 VERY BAD RECORD
CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROB. BERY AND WITH RAlDlNG 4 DANCE HALL SINGLE HANDED, BOUND OVER WITHOUT BAIL.

Bob Berry, alias "The Devil" who was arrested Tuesday night by Policeman Pat ton and Policeman Eagan, was yesterday bound over to the grand jury without bail on a charge of highway robbery. He knocked Archie Wilson, white man, down and robbed him of watch, several nights ago on South Twentieth street. Af- ter knocking MT. Wilson down Berry hit him on the ear with something and then kicked him a half dozen times in the ribs.
 Last Saturday night Berry made a raid on negro dance hall on South Twentieth street and after running every one else out of the place with knife, he cut one seriously. The bloody knife was found on him when arrested.
 Another night "The Devil" knocked a negro boy in the head and stole 3s-caii- bre pistol from him, which was also found in his pocket when arrested. Tues day night he threw two soda water bot ties at a Greek in stand on First ave- nue and Seventeeth street.
 "The Devil" was only released from jail last month after serving long term for beating a negro man over the head and otherwise assauting him with a weapon.
 As soon as the other cases are worked up against him, he will be tried on them. The charge against him is punishable with death in Alabama, and if the others are proven, the police think he has little chance of getting off under a very long sentence at least

is, in the same direction that the Spanish ships were going-instead of in the con- trary direction, she would undoubtedly have been in more dangerous proXim- ity' to them But 1t would have been more dangerous for them as we'll as for her. This kind of danger must not be too nicely weighed by those whose trade 1t is to dare greatly for the honor of the flag. Moreover, the danger was certainly not as great as that which In the self same moment menaced Wainwrights s fragile craft as he drove forward against the foe. It was not, In my judgment, as great as the danger to which the Texas was exposed by the turn actually made. It certainly caused both the Brook lyn and the Texas materially to lose po- sition compared to the fleeing Spanish vessels. But after the loop had once been taken Admiral Schley handled the Brooklyn manfully and we'll She and the Oregon were thenceforth the head most of the American vessels: though the Iowa certainly, and seemingly the Texas also. did as much in hammering to standstill the Viscaya, Oquendo and Teresa; while the Indiana did all her eastward position and crippled machinery permitted. In the chase of the Colon the Brooklyn and Oregon share the credit between them.
 Under such circumstan ances it seems to me that the recommendationH of Presi- dent Mckinley were eminently proper, and that so far as Admirals Sampson and Schley were concerned it would have been unjust for him to have made other recommendations. Possibly, I feel that in view of Captain Clark's long voyage in the Oregon and the condition in which he brought her to the scene of service, as well as the way in which he actually managed her before and during the fight, it would have been well to have given him the same advancement that was given Wainwright. But waiving this, it is evil dent that Wainwright was entitled to re- ceive more than any of the other com manders; and that it was just to Ad- miral Sampson that he should receive a greater advance in numbers than Ad- miral Schley-there was nothing done in the battle that warranted any unusual reward for either. In short, as regards Admiral Sampson and Schley, l find that President Mckinley did substantial jus tice, and that there would be no warrant for reversing his action.
 Both Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley are now on the retired list In concluding their report the members of the court of inquiry. Admirals Dewey, Benham and Ramsay. unite in stating that they recommend that no further ac- tion be had in the matter. With this recommendation I most heartily concur There is no excuse whatever from either side for any further agitation of this un- happy controversy. To keep it alive would merely do damage to the navy and to the country.

LITTLE NEGRO GIRL
 BURNED TO DEATH
PLACED A GAN OF KEROSENE OIL ON STOVE AND WAS ENVEL- oPED IN FLAMES BEFORE SHE KNEW IT.

Cora Willis, a 13-year- negro girl, was burned so badly last night about ' o'clock at the residence of MT w. D.. Crews, 1219 South Nineteenth street, that she died at midnight.
 She went into bedroom, made a fire and then placed a can of kerosene oil on the stove thinking it was water. She then took her hair down to arrange it.. The bottom of the can, which was one previously used to hold tomatoes melted away and the oil ran out, catching on fire and blazing up suddenly.
 Before the girl could move she was a mass of flames and her clothes were burned nearly off before the fire was ex- tinguished. Although suffering great agony, she had presence of mind enough to try to smother the flames by jumping In bed and covering herself with quilt. The bed clothing caught fire, and when the persons in the house ran into the room the bed and curtains were also burning They rendered the girl all as- sistance possible and called in Dr. J. D. Dabney. He saw at once there was no hope and telephoned for an ambulance to carry the girl to St. Vincent's Hospital.

Terrific Wind Storm
 Does Much Damage

A terrific wind storm hit Birmingham and vicinity to the north of the city last night shortly before 12 o'clock and lasted for fifteen minutes. Visions of another cyclone came to those who were on the streets at that hour and those who were lucky enough to be at home were aroused by the noise of the wind.
 Nearly every awning in the city which was not drawn up was torn down by the wind. The 'Dago' stands were the heav- lest sufferers. Starting down Twentieth street from Fourth avenue North to Avenue D, South, there was not a one which did not have the awning torn down or badly damaged The police re- ported several plate glass windows smashed.

there seems to have been worse than in Birmingham and the telephone and street car people suffered. The electric feed wires were down near Lucille station and the cars were blocked there. A num- Der of signs and awnings were down.
 In front of the South Fifteenth street car barn of the Birmingham Railway Light. and Power Company, one of the poles holding the trolley wires was blown down and the cars were kept outside part of the night until the break could be re- paired.
 Several large sign boards were also blown down, and on South Twentieth street two fruit barrels were blown from the pavement almost across the street.
 Several wires of the Bell Telephone Company leading north of Birmingham are down.

SELMA ATTORNEYS
 WORK FOR U.S.COURT
AT A MEETING OF THE BAR ASso. CLAYTON A COMMITTEE IS AP. PoINTED-AcT ON JUDGE TouM. LiN'S PLAN.

Selma, February 1s.-(Speoial)-Yss day afternoon active steps were begun by the Dallas Bar Association to carry out what Is known as Judge Toumlin's plan in the matter of holding United States Courts in Alabama. It will be recalled by the readers of the Age-Herald that from Selma was sent some weeks ago a telegram copied from the New Or leans Picayune, sent that paper from Montgomery. which stated that Judge Toumlin was in favor of taking some few counties from the North Alabama district and others from the Middle district, in- cluding Dallas Perry, Hale and Pickens, and form a division of the United States Court at Selma. It is to carry out this idea that a committee consisting of Hons. II. F. Reese, B. H. Craig, H. s. D. Mall lory. W. R. Nelson and A. L. Mcleod were appointed at the meetings yesterday afternoon.
 The Northern district of Alabama Is composed of thirty-one counties, the Mid dle district of twenty-five, and the South ern district of only ten. The North ern district is divided into the North ern and Southern divisions, the courts be- ing held at Huntsville and Birmingham. It is now proposed to take from the Northern and Middle districts certain counties contiguous to Dallas and attach them to the Southern district and then make a Northern and Southern division of the Southern district with courts held in Selma and Mobile.
 With the prospect of a Federal building for this city very bright there is thought to be a great showing for the adoption of Judge Toumlins plan, and active steps are to be taken in that direction by the Dallas bar.
 Another negro is on trial for his life in the City Court of Selma. Robert Hun ter alias Robert Allison, Is his name. and he Is charged with killing member of his race near Berlin, in this county. The name of his victim was Jake Stew art and there was woman at the bot tom of the trouble. The jury was se- cured today and the trial will be finished tomorrow.
 On Tuesday next 1t is proposed to or eanize in Selma village improvement society for the purpose of cleaning up the city and arousing a spirit of patriot ism among the people to have better sidewalks and streets. Some of Selma most prominent women are at the head of the movement and they will accomplish much good

NEGRO RoBS NEGRO.
Tom Reed Claims to Have Been Rob-
 bed of $35.

Tom Reed, a negro, was robbed of s35 last night by another negro as he was boarding the dummy for Desse- mer on Second avenue, between Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets. He claims two negroes were implicated in the robbery, and says one of them was standing in front of him talking, while the other came up behind and ran his hand in his pocket.
 Reed lives in Bessemer, and is said to be a hard-working negro. One of the men who touched him last night accused him of going with his sister and was talking to him, while his part ner was doing the actual work. The negro missed the money few min utes afterwards and reported the loss to Policeman Hagood.
 Policeman Nelson last night ar rested a negro who answered .Ae de- scription of the one who robbed Reed. He gave his name as Calvin Stewart. The arrest was made on the descrip- ton given Policeman Hagood by Reed.

BULLET THROUGH COAT.
Man Held Up and Fired On In Avon-
 dale.

A highwayman halted and fired on man last night on Thirty-sixth street, in Ayondale, the ball passing through the mans coat. A second shot passed through his coat on the other side. The man returned the fire, and supposes his second bullet hit the highwayman, as he yelled and turning ran down the street, making his escape.
 The shooting occurred about 11:3O o'clock. It was impossible to learn any names last night. It seems from what was told street car conductor that the highwayman fired as soon as he halted the man and that the second shot was fired before the other man drew his gun.
