RIOT AVERTED. A
Official of c. r. & !. Company and
Miner Disagree.

The republicans of Coal Creek
met in caucus in the town hall
there Friday night and put up the
following nominees on the Citizens
ticket: For mayor, William Gill
bert; trustees for two years each,
George Scollick, d. r. Davis and
Harry Mellor. This will be the
only ticket in the field this spring
The meeting was largely attend
ed and was in degree enth usias-
tic A riot almost occurred, how
ever, in the balloting for a nominee
for mayor James w. Graham, a
coal miner, thought that the ticket
savored too much of Colorado Fuel
d Iron companyism, and accord
ingly directed a remark to d. G
Birmingham, weighmaster at the
Coal Creek coal mine for the c. f.
d l. company, who took him to
his word. Hot words were spoken
and Graham is said to have called
Birmingham blackleg weigh boss.
This was resented by the latter,
who showed revolverin Graham's
face and said that he would kill
him Graham did not finch in
the least, but invited the officia! to
fire. Seeing imminent danger the
friends of Birmingham escorted
him out of the building.
Graham will have the man ar.
rested tomorrow for assault and
carrying concealed weapons.

TOO rlUCH MORPHINE.
Overdose Nearly Took the Life OF
George Keller.

George Keller, who was thought
to be dying last night from the
effect of an overdose of morphine,
has passed the danger poirt and
will live. This morning he talked
freely
esterday moring he and Will
liam Oliver drove a couple of men
to williamsburg in the express
wagon. Upon returning Keller
went to his room in the Cornwell
block slightly under the influence
of intoxicants 1t was only few
minutes before he was followed by
Oliver, who, by the way, is better
known here as "aop Fiend Bill"
Keller did not want to go home TO
dinner in the condition he was in
and Oliver suggested that he could
fix him up in good shape and ao-
cordingly gave him three hyper
dermic injections of the poison
This proved too much for Keller
and it was only a few minutes be-
fore he was in an unconscious con
dition and suffering great agony.
Oliver left the house to notify the
police that George was dying and
a doctor was summoned to his
rescue. His condition at 6 O'Clock
last evening was very critical and
the physician said he would not
live two hours.
Oliver is adicted to the NOR
phine habit and kept a quantity
of it in his room most of the time,
Mr. Keller's wife has been in Den
yer for several days and during her
absence the two men roomed to-
gether Mrs. Keller was wired of
the occurrence and arrived this
morning
Oliver was placed in Jail last
night, being held for develop
nlents, but as Mr.. Keller is SO i'm
proved, he was released this morn
ing and ordered to leave town.

the highest quality, and is quite loAy III

nc Concord and earlier. But the crown

nave a summer climate on the pIateaus
there very like that of the lake region
OF Now York, by reason of elevation
ahoVe the sea level Hence the late
crops lhat are not practicable on the
warm southern coast, thrive there in
great perfection, and their nearness IN
the southern markets gives the growers
great advantage in the sales of their
products. FOmerly they tried to ship
cabbages in open cattle cars. But in
the hot weather they heated in the mass
and there We're considerable losses. Now
the crop from the mountain country goes

press, some dealers in Florida being will
ling TO pay the extra cost Of q carload
by express rather than wait for the
rather slower freightS. The Inter State
commerce in this great country as a
whole is wonderful business, and when
the railroads realize that low and rea-
sOnable freights build up business fas-
ter than righ rates there will be great
increase. The cabbage growers in the
North Carolina mountains complain that
while they are over 200 miles nearer
Florida than the mountain country
where cabbageS are grown in Virginia.
their freight rates are higher, because
they are in the hands of a single com
pany, while tpe Virginia freights are
competed for by rival lines. And yet
We have an Interstate commerce law
