ADJT. GENERAL AND
COLONEL RESIGN

Denver. April 19,-Adjutant General
Sherman Bell and Col. James Brown of
the National Guard have given to the
governor their conditional resigna-
tions. Both officers took this action
Thursday. the day the executive left
for the East. Neither of the officers
will discuss the affair. Other officers of
the guard deny that they contemplate
a similar course.
Dissatisfaction with many acts of the
governor is said to be the direct cause
OF the action. Criticisms to which
both officers have been subjected as
the result of the calling out of troops
for the strike at Colorado City and for
other official acts is said to have had an
influence in causing them to act.
The designations as they went to the
governor were to become effective
May /. What the letter to the execu-
tive contained those who directed 1t
to him will not say. They state it is
better that he should first make an an
nouncement. Col. Brown has also re-
signec from the honorary stan of the
governor.
Both Gen. Bell and Col. Brown spent
yesterday at Colorado Springs. They
returned last night to find that their
designations had been publicly an
nounced. After dinner at the Brown
Palace they made a formal statement
that fails to make clear the situation.
Each said he would say nothing more
than is contained in this statement.
Regarding the designations they say:
I'VE are at a considerable loss to un-
derstand upon what authority the
statement is based. 1t is not said that
1t is made upon any authority ema-
mating from the governor or his office.
Courtesy to the governor. who is at
present absent from the state. requires
hat we remain silent until his ret-,rn.

The House bill providing for the en-
ployment of official stenographers by
the General Assembly at SIS day was
vetoed because the governor consid-
cred this made an unnecessary addi-
tion to the ALREADY too large force of
employees"
Among the bills affecting the work.
ing people of the state, passed by the
Legislature. is Senate bill 240. by Sem
ator Mcclure, for constitutional
amendment. allowing the exemption of
5000 worth of personal property from
taxation. A similar bill was defeated
in the House. but this bill was pushed
through in the closing hours of the ses-
sion and is now before the people, and
will be voted on at the 1904 election.
The State Bureau of Animal Protec-
tlon, known famiiiarly as the Humane
Society, is rapidly establishing COM
plete system OF agents in all parts
of the state. Numerous appointments
are being made by Secretary White

complete staff of efficient men in all
sections. men satisfactory to the bu-
reau as well as to the people of the
section in which they serve. The fol-
lowing are recent appointments: Will

More than $4,000 of the large sum
overdue the state for lands has been
collected under the direction of Regis
ter Woodrufs of the land Office during
the last week. This showing is the re-
suit of the active work of the Office in
pressing those whose payments have
been allowed to lapse for many years.
When the new administration took
charge OF the land office 1t required a
great deal Of work to determine how
hundreds OF accounts stood. In bring
ing the books up to date It was found
that payments amounting to s944.000
were due the state. These had been
running from one to ten years and car
ried interest at the rate of seven per
cent Delinquents were at once noti-
fed that they must paw up or the land
board would declare the lands forfeit

peatedly violated the agreements and
have permitted their sheep to cross the
boundary lines and in many instances
eat of the grass In sight Of the ranches
of the cattlemen. The latter have re-
sorted to force frequently. and the
murder of several herders and the
slaughter of thousands Of sheep has
resulted.
Last fall the focks of Leonard Sedg-
wick, the Cheyenne boy who made a
fortune in the Klondike. were at
tackled near New Fork and over 1000
were slaughtered, the camp wagon and
supplies were burned and the Mexican
herder murdered. Mounted men wear
ing masks over their faces did the
work, and although weak effort was
made by the authorities to learn the
names of the raiders. nothing ever
came of the matter. The raid had the
desired result, SO far as the cattlemen
were concerned. however. for reports
from the New Fork country say that no
sheep have crossed the dead line since
then.
The scene of the impending trouble
is south and east of the New Fork
country. which is due west of Lander.

questions are being asked OF Mr.. q, ID. Holt

covery. For two years he has been down with
his back. He was SO very bad that he. could
not even lace, his shoes, and from this con-
dition he suddenly appeared well and strong
as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his friends
are asking him How did you do it?"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it," and adds This remedy is genuine
good medicine and one that can heartily
recommend to everybody.
Everyone around here. knows how very
bad was. was SO weak in myback that

the most reliable play in their programme.
It was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's "2Oth Century Limited"

only by the size of the field. The names OF
