col ORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Suit Against Treasurer Rous.

Assistant Attorney General Hersey
has filed suit against Van f. Rouse,
former treasurer of the st, LOUIS
Worlds Fair board. in the district
court at Denver. The complaint Calls
upon Rouse to hand over to the ST.
Louis Worlds Fair board the sum OF
$751; 1868, the amount of the last
voucher which Rouse Grew out OF the
fair fund. The complaint states that
the suit was begun under the instruc'
tions of Gov. Peabody and John Holm
berg. state auditor.
Some months ago Rouse, when he
was treasurer of the board and mem
ber of it. drew out this amount OF
money for the purpose of using II Tor
the building of the ST. Louis World
Fair board in St. Louis next year,
This was done to keep the money
from reverting to the general fund,
In July, when the changes were madu
in the board by Gov. Peabody. Rouse
still had the money and he has re-
fused to give it up.
The suit is brought for the purpose
of securing the money from him. IT
was at first believed that in the same
suit would be included a number of
vouchers which it was claimed were
illegally made oS.. But an eXamina-
tion of these vouchers revealed the
fact that they were afterwards ap-
proved by the members of the board
in a regular session. All of the vouch-
srs have not yet been examined. and
if it is found that any of them have
been Illegally paid then suit will be
brought against Rouse for the amount
of them also. Rouse denies that he
has been legally deposed from the
board.

LeadvilIe Street Suit. Appealed.

For the second time the Supreme
Court is asked to decide the
case originally brought in Lake
county to settle the question OF
whether the city of Leadville or sew
eral mining companies own the land
beneath the surface of several streets
and alleys. The papers in two appeal
ed cases were filed Sept. 10th with the
clerk, the City of Leadville VS.. the
Colorado Mining Company and the
Wolcott Mining Company, and the City
of Leadville VS.. the st. Louis Smelling
& Refining Company and the Bohn
Mining Company. The city is the ap-
pellant
Years ago, these companies gave the
city the right of way for several streets
and alleys, beneath which it is now
known are situated valuable bodies of
gold and silver ore. The city claims
the title to the land in fee simple,
which would make 1t the owner of the
property clear to the other side OF the
earth. On the other hand the compa-
nies in question claim that they gave
away only the surface rights for the
use of the streets and alleys.
When the mining companies began
to excavate under the city streets suit
was brought by the municipality and
the mining companies won in the lower
court.
The city appealed to the Supreme
Court and the main question was the
admissability of certain testimony.
The supreme court reversed the deci-
sion and the case went back for new
trial The mining companies won
again and now the case comes to the
supreme court on the main issues.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant ever brought in the state and
means much to both parties concerned
because of the great value OF the ore
deposits beneath the city.

Tucson, Arizona, July 3.-M. L. Daw-
son, Of Lynchburg, Va. who for the
past year has been assistant superln
tendent of the Minas Priets mines, in
the state of Sonora, has been foully
murdered. This news was brought by
Alexander Grant. a we'll known mining
man of Bisbee, who has just returned
from Chihuahua Mexico. Dawson and
a partner named Joss were prospecting
in the Ocampo district in Chihuahua,
and had separated a few days before
going in different directions.
yon two days later when he was ap
preached by several Mexicans whom
were invited to stop and eat with him.
During the meal one of the MeXicanS
arose, walked behind Dawson and shot
him twice, once in the back and once
in the head. He was then robbed Of
all his belongings. A few hours later
the body was found by two Mexican
boys. The case was reported to the
commissariat at Ocampo. who sent of
ficers in pursuit of the murderers. Two
of them were captured fifty miles from
the scene of the killing.
Dawson's gun was found in their pos
session. They were taken to Ocampo
and are now in Jail there Grant says
the prisoners have confessed to having
been in the party, but they assert that
a third man. who has not been cap
tured did the shooting.

Roosevelt's decision to forward to the

half OF the Russian Jews is not pub
lished here. The foreign offices has
made the following statement:
The Car alone can decide whether
the petition will be received but Alex

such petition. The petition from the
Guild Hall, called by the Lord Mayor
of London in 1891 was returned through
the foreign office as being inconvenient.
The foreign office hopes the Americans
will not invite such a slight. They
would resent an anti-lynching petition.
The foreign office has no special inter-
est in the question except a desire that
international relations remain unharIn-
ed since the matter is purely domestic
and belongs to another ministerial de-
partment."

Cancer Cured by Radium.

Vienna, July 3.-Medical circles here
are greatly interested in a report,
communicated to the Viennese Society
of Physicians and read at the recent
meeting of the Imperial Academy Of
Science to the effect that a long stand
ing case Of cancer was cured by radium
rays at the clinic of the late Professor
Gussenbauger. The patient, who was
sixty one years OF age, had long suf-
fered from cancer Of the palate and lip
and had repeatedly been operated upon
fruitlessly until the autumn Of 1902,
when the physicians of the Viennese
hospital declared it was absolutely use
less to operate again. One physician
determined as a last resort to try ra-
dium rays and treated the afflicted
parts by exposing them to the light of
radium bromide, the strongest radium
preparation in existence. He was 1e-
warded by a gradual and comp,ete dis
appearance of the tumors.
Physicians at the same meeting re-
ported that radium rays had cured a
case of me1anosarcoma Ga tumor con-
tanning a black or other dark colored
matter) and several cases of red moe.

Changes in Her Trim Did not I'm
prove Her-The Older Boat Was
Crippled by the Wind But Sailed n
Good Race.

New York, July 3.-A sudden shift Of
wind today brought Sir Thomas Lip
tons former challenger crippled and
limping across the finish line minus her
club topsail, only four minutes behind
the slippery new cup hunter, Shamrock
III. after the latter had beaten her
eight minutes and twenty seconds IN
twenty-six miles of q sail stretching
trial before the old boat was partly
disabled.
The club topsail pole on Shamrock II.
broke almost at the head when she
had four miles sail. She was thirteen
minutes behind the new boat when the
damage was repaired and the race re-
Sumed.
Before the accident the Shamrock III.
beat the old four and a half min
utes running to leeward fifteen miles
and nearly four minutes in sailing
long leg close hauled.
The new cUr, seeker was hardly up to
her standard today. Ordinarily in
light wind such as prevailed she is
ten minutes better than her nameSake
in a fifteen mile run. but changes
which had been made in her trim and
reduction in her ballast had not i'm
proved her.
For the first time since arriving on
this side of the Atlantic Sir Thomas
and Designer Fife remained on board
the Erin while the race was sailed to
observe the new boats actions at q dis
tance. More changes NAV be expected,
until Sir Thomas and Mr.. Fife have
tried her under a great variety of con-
ditiOnS
