Suit Against Treasurer RousA.

Assistant Attorney General Hersey
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
1S,466.63, the amount of the last
voucher which Rouse drew out of tho
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,
bcr of it, drew out this amount of
money for the purpose of using it for
the building of the ST. Louis Worlds
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 Mada
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. 1t
was at first believed that in the same
suit would be included number of
vouchers which it was claimed were
illegally made Ovt. But an examina-
tion of these vouchers revealed the
fact that they We're afterwards ap-
proved by the members of the board
in regular session. All of the vouch-
ers 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

Leadvile Street Suits 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 OF sew
eral mining companies owp 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 I.eadville VS.. the St. Louis Smelling
e 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 orc The city claims
the title to the land in fee simple.
which would make it the owner OF the
property clear to the other side of the
earth. On the other hand, the compa-
MES 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 TIE great value oi the ore
deposits beneath the city.

Anthrax was the principal topic dis
cussed at the afternoon session. The
paper on the subject was by Colonel
William Tiheman of Illinois, a promi-
nent official cattleman. He took tho
stand that the disease was not only
contagious, but that there was grave
danger in the fact of the burial OF
Carcasses being permitted on account
of the germs. There was a general talk
along these lines with an exchange CT
opinions from the delegates. Colonel
Albert Dean of the Department Of
Agriculture explained that the disease
had not been classified as a contagious
disease, but that he was certain that
any resolutions passed by this assOcia-
ton would be recognized by the gov
crnmcnt and made into regulations
The principal argument was over tho
fact that many of the states permitted
the carcasses to be buried when there
should be cremation The committee
was instructed to bring out this point
in its report.
