expense Of handling by other roads
This is complete change in the orig
inal plans Of the company. and was
due to the fact that they could not
make satisfactory terms with other
roads.
Under the present plans 1t Ia not
likely that the road will attempt to
carry its own tracks into Denver for a
long time, II at all. They have now
the choice of two routes into the city
from the station at Utah Junction, ON
roads already built and operating, and
without any charge for terminal facili-
ties. It also opens the way for the
handling OF the coal product from the
Leyden mine and the other mines Of
the company by way Of the Burlington
east and. all through the northern part
of the state.
t'Our intention ia now" said Mr.. Mof-
fat yesterday, ito depend upon our own
line all that we can in the building of
the road. Under the plan adopted we
can secure all the terms that we desire
from the roads for the bringing in Of
the construction materials from the
East and distribute 1t ahead of US as
we build. Tracklaying will aOon begin
in earnest from the Denver end, and
continue as fast a. the contractors on
the grade complete their work. and
make it possible That brings the
road within two miles and half Of
the city, and as soon as 1t gets far
enough out to make 1t an object the
service of the read will be commenced
and 1t is not too sanguine a guess to
say that 1t will be soner than has been
generally expected. We hope to carry
all of our tunnel machinery to the site
of the work ourselves. Every effort Ia
now being made to push things as fast
as they can be pushed by men,"

can heartily recommend Peruna as a

.G Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards a
cure of catarrh. If course of Peruna is
taken during the early spring months the
cure will be prompt and permanent. There
can be no failures If Peruna is taken intel
ligently during the, favorable weather OF
spring.
As systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates Satarrh from the system wher-
ever it may be located. It cures catarrh

oagtainty ~ catarrh Of the head.

morning says:
By letting contract for ave miles
Of grading from Utah Junction to Ley
den Junction, the Moffat road manag-
ers yesterday took the first step In the
laying Of the steel for the new road
from within two miles and half of
Denver west Is far rs the grading con-
tracts have gone. A contract was also
let for the four miles and a half of
grading necessary to connect the ma
terial yards Of the company with the
Burlington Z Colorado and Colorado Z
Southern railroads at Utah Junction.
The beginning Of the grading on the
main line is at this latter point. The
connection with Leyden Junction will
also be the main line, and 1t is pro-
posed to build 1t on the right Of way OF
the Denver & Northwestern railroad.
For this purpose a right of way of
twenty-five miles has been secured
from the latter road.
Yesterdays contracts were let to the
firm Of Clough & Anderson Of Colorado
Springs and e. c. Phillips of Long
mont. They will amount to about $780,
00Q. One OF the contingencies Is that
work must be commenced at once and
pushed just as fast as possible. Al
soon as this grading is done the work
of laying the tracks westward will be
commenced.
The line that is to supply the. ma
terial yard is four miles and a hall
long. 1t runs through eighty acres oi

FEARFUL CRIME IN
LA PLATA COUNTY

Denver, March 31.-A Republican
special from Durango last night says:
At bayfield,, this county, yesterday.
Halden H. Patterson killed his daugh-
ter and then committed suicide.
Patterson and his wife were di-
vorced last November and the custody
Of their only child, girl between i've
and six years, was awarded to each OF
them, first one keeping her four months
months and then the other, this being
by agreement. The child has been
with the mother most Of the time.
Yesterday Patterson left the Florida
ranch, belonging to his mother, and
went to bayfield,. While there he called
to see the child. and while the little
girl was sitting on his left knee he
drew q revolver and shot her through
the heart. the ball passing through the
child's body and through his own arm.
The mother rushed in from another
room, grabbed the reeling child and
started on run across the street,
whereupon Patterson turned the gun
on himself with fatal results, the ball
passing through the heart.
The dead man is the son Of the late
J.. H. Patterson, who was one of the
best known and prominent men of the
country. 1t is said no quarrel or words
took place between Patterson and his
divorced wife. Patterson has been de-
spondent for some little time, and is
said to have remarked the other day
that the child would be better dead
than living with the mother, who is
keeping q boarding house at Bayfield,.
1t is said that the child expressed .
preference for living with the mother,
and that this caused Patterson much

BOSTON HOLDS WIDOW RECORD.
State Official Collects Statistics for
French Scientist-Their Lot Hard.

French Scientist-Their Lot Hard.
A Boston state official who has been
investigating the subject for Prof.
Friedrich Printing of Paris, has dis
covered that Boston has more widows
In proportion to its population, than
any other city in America, even Chi
cago. Philadelphia, New York and
other large centers. The young
widow, he says, is one Of the most
unfortunate Of beings, and not at all
the gay butterfly which popular fancy
has pictured.
Prof. Printing has collected a re-
markable group of statistics which
show that poverty sorely Expresses
the widow, and that she Is more sub
ject to insanity, consumption, conflict
with the law and death than her mar
ried sister. All these woes fall more
heavily on the young widow. DR.. Prin-
zing's opinion Is that the state should
make provision Ior the support of the
widowed and their children, directly,
instead Of indirectly through hospitals
and insane asylums.
There are 5000, 900 widows in every
55.OOO,O 900 Of population, Of whom 400;
900 have absolutely no income.
