COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Coal by Trolley Cars.

The Leyden Coal Company has be-
gun operations this week as an active
rival of other companies doing business
in the Denver market The company
is owned by the same interests which
control the Denver Tramway and the
Denver g. Northwestern Railroad Com
pany, and has the advantage of their
electric lines in reaching local markets
with its product.
A second shaft has been driven at
the Leyden mine and the machinery
has been put in operation. The com-
pany is prepared to deliver large
daily output Big coal yards have been
established opposite Elitch's Gardens
on the land adjoining the old West
End power house. Several additional
side tracks have been put In and the IA
cilities are now available for any
amount of traffic.
Thirty of the fifteen-ton Ingoldsby
dump cars, delivered some time ago to
the Tramway and Denver & North
western, have been fitted with electric
motors and trolleys. and are now In
use hauling coal from the Leyden mine
to the West End yards. Coal Is also
hauled direct to the various Tramway
power houses over the electric lines,
saving much expense for carriage.
The system of hauling the coal to
the city. as now adopted in supplying
the Tramway power houses, is this:
An 1ngoldsby patent dump car. fitted
with four powerful motors. is used as
the motor car for train Of six Of these
dump cars and proves powerful enough
10 pull the load easily over the grades
from Leyden to the city. This train
is run up on the elevated track at the
power house and the automatic dump
ing apparatus quickly deposits the coal
in the bins below. II the Tramway
company is permitted to run these
trains over its city tracks. it is expect"
ed that the same system will be used
to supply various retail coal yards and
branch depots may be established in
various parts of the city, from which
neighborhoods can be supplied with
fuel at small carriage cost

Washington. June S.-Judge Advo-
cate General Davis has sent to the sec
retary of war an opinion relative to
various disputed matters of construc-
ton of the new militia law. One point
raised was whether section IA of the
militia act, relating to expenditure of
money for the militia, was not in con-
flict with the federal constitution, the
contention being that 1t would take the
militia from the control of the states.
General Davis points out that the new
militia law does not differ materially
from the present law. and that all that
will be necessary is a change in the
forms for accounting to be made to
the Treasury Department.
A more important point raised con-
Germs section Is, which provides for
the participation Of the militia OF the
several states in maneuvers and field
instructions of the regular army. but
with a further proviso that the COM
mand of military post or camp and
of the officers and troops of the United
States stationed where such maneuvers
occur shall remain with the regular
command of the post. without regard
to the rank of the commanding or
other officers OF the militia tenn. ora

Franks. a ranchman residing near Mar
igold, in the southern part of the coun-
ty. had an exciting but unpleasant ad-
venture with a wildcat yesterday af-
ternoon Franks was coming to town
for medicine for sick child. He was
making a shortcut, taking the trail over
the hills. At one point the trail is so
steep that the ranchman dismounted
and was leading his horse when he
spied a young kitten on the path in
front of him. He kicked it out of the
road. when the infuriated mother, who
was crouching in some rocks nearby,
sprang at him.
Franks was unarmed and had to
fight the beast off with his fists, which
he finally succeeded in doing. He was
badly scratched about the face and
hands and his coat was torn to rib

COMMITS SUICIDE

Denver June IA Republican spe-
cial from Colorado Springs last night
says:
Lying dead in a pool of its own
blood, shot through the head and the
revolver a few inches from its right
hand, the body of Alvaro Hemenway
was found at 2:40 o'clock this after
noon by searching party in some
brush behind a group of cottonwood
trees in the Fountain Creek flats. The
place is called the Portland pasture,
and the location of the body was about
$50 yards southwest of the Midland
bridge over Fountain creek and quar-
ter of a mile east of the Portland mill.
William Myers. one of the searching
party employed by o. E. Hemenway,
son of the deceased, discovered the
body.
No inquest will be held, as the case
is clearly one of suicide. The bullet. a
3S-calibre, had entered the head one
inch above the tip of the right ear, and
had left the skull the same distance
above the left ear, but an inch farther

in the safe at the Hemenway grocery
store, led to the theory of suicide on
the part of Orin e. Hemenway, the son.
The latter employed searching par
ties since Thursday, and the canons
and other neighboring points were be-
ing secured when the discovery was
made.
The deceased was one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of Colo

about twenty years ago, first conduct
ing feed business on East Huerfano
street About three years ago he sold
out. devoting all his attention to the
carriage business of A. H. Hemenway

President Roosevelt and w. A. Rich

office. have been asked to sanction the
exchange of more than 100000 acres of
forest lands owned by Colorado for
agricultural lands owned by the gov

prove of this plan to further the work
of preserving forests and sources of
water supply. Henry Nicholson, who
has charge of the work of the Forestry
bureau in Colorado, presented tn e mat

state in order that the agricultural
progress may be continued that the
State Land Board has given Register
