A call was tnen made for those who

Radcliffe Wants Damages

From Denver Times.
Governor Peabody received letter
last week from Secretary OF State John
Hay saying that Hon. S. Michael Her
bert, the English ambassador to the
United States, has demanded an account
ing from Colorado for the destruction
of the property OF William Radcliffe at
Grand Mesa lakes nearly two years ago.
1t is evident from the tone OF the letter
that the government OF Great Britain
wants an immediate settlement and that
Secretary Hay is anxious that Colorado
should take immediate action in the
matter.
spawn for the state on his property at
Ora nd Mesa lakes in Delta county. He
claimed the sole use of the lakes and
would allow no one TO fish on his proper
ty. Two years ago this summer one OF
his employees attempted TO drive some
fisher en- away and in doing SO killed
one OF them. This aroused the anger OF
the citizens in that vicinity and others
whom Radcliffe had refused the right to
fish are said TO have destroyed his
houses and fish hatcheries. The feeling
against Radcliffe ran high and he left
the state. An appeal was made by him
to the United States government, but
nothing came Of it. After waiting
several months he laid the case before
the government Of Great Britain, of
which country he is still a subject. it is
claimed. The matter was taken up by
Am mbassador Herbert and an accounting
has beea iema nded OF the state.
Governor Peabody has written

Fruit Crop Safe.

Although there was considerable frost
last Friday night both the peach aud
apple crop is yet safe.
The reports from the Surface Creek
district is to the effect that no damage
OF any consequence has been done and
that it is now practically certain that a
good crop will be had in that section.
The same report comes from the North
Fork fruit belt and they now believe
that one Of the biggest crops that has
been gathered for years will be grown
in that section.
Along the Gunnison river. in some
places, the peaches have bcen thinned
out by the frost, but these sections are
not supposed to be suitable for fruit
raising exclusively and those having
orchards do not depend entirely on their

MR.. w. B. JENNISON, of the National

horrible and agonizing tortures of this dis

best skin specialists of Chicago. New York

and entire body. His appearance was so
repulsive that he had not been able to at
tend any social or public gathering for
years. Mr.. David Robinson. head clerk of

had cured himself of bad case of Psoriasis
of ten years standing. with the d. d. d.

says:-'I commenced the use of the d. d.

will find that it will cure you. Specialists
