A Fair-fighting, Uneompromising Republican Paper

Water values in Colorado enhance rapidly
as the state gains in population, and to Sc
cure plentiful supply of it, corporations
and individuals are exerting every effort,
and large sums of money are being spent to
store this valuable article A case in point
is the herculean task undertaken by the c.
F. & l. company to get sufficient water for
its Pueblo steel plants. The new source of
supply will be the Roaring Fork creek in
southeastern Pitkin county, conveyed by
pipes through a 500 foot tunnel through
range of mountains to the Arkansas river,
thence to Pueblo The enterprise will re-
quire several years of time and a vast sum
of money, but if a corporation like this
places such high value on water, it behoves
others in possession of water rights to care
fully protect their holdings. The storage
of water is rapidly becoming necessity, as
the reclamation of the arid lands east of the
range will depend entirely on this source of
supply Situated in many mountain places
are natural reservoirs which could easily
and with comparativly little expense be con-
verted to use, and the water thus stored
will eventually become of untold value.

MILLS THAT GRIND IN IDAHO SPRINGS.

By many people Idaho Springs is
known as "The Mill City" on account of
the large number of extraction mills for
the treatment of ores in the district.
During the past year some complaint
has arisen to the effect that these mills
are not as modern in every sense as they
might be, and that there was some
ground for this complaint is best evil
denced by the fact that the mill owners
are adding every new improvement to
make the mills greater savers of values.
The following is complete list of the
mills now in operation showing their ton
mage and capacities.

CHADIMA IS HELD
TO THE GRAND JURY
Examination at South ST. Paul
Yesterday Brings Little
New Evidence.

Joseph Chadima, late constable of
the village in Inver Grove, was yes
terday bound over to the grand jury
of Dakota county by Justice c.. C. Doss,
of South st. Paul, after preliminary
hearing on a charge of killing Charles
Helm, whose body was mangled by a
Chicago Great Western engine on the
night of Sept. T.
The witnesses examined at the cor
oner's inquest testified before Justice
Doss at the hearing yesterday, AMI
their evidence was practically Identical
with that previously given. The only
new witness was c. E. Miller, an en-
gfneer of the Great Western. whose
testimony was cumulative evidence.
The hearing, which continued from
10: 80 yesterday morning, with noon in
PERMISSION, till 4:30 in the afternoon,
was an event of interest in South ST.
Paul, and large crowd remained in
the court room during the entire pro-
ceedings. P. H. O'Keefe, county at
torney of Dakota county, conducted
the prosecution, and Attorney William
Hodgson, retained by Chadima, ap-
peared for the defense.
The only new feature of the evil
dence was the testimony of Waterman
A. l.. Weber, who testified that on the
night of Helms death he saw two men
on the railroad track and heard the
words: "D-n you, I'll fix you," spoken
| in broken English and that the voice
sounded like Chadimas
Hodgson, at the conclusion of the
hearing, moved the court to dismiss
Chadima- on the ground that there was
not sufficient Evidence to connect the
defendant with the death of Helm. He
pointed out that there was nothing
but circumstantial evidence, and he
characterized that entirely vague and
| indefinite.
Chadima was taken back to the Jail
at Hastings last evening by Sheriff
| Joseph Griffin. He will be held till
the meeting of the grand jury in De-
cembeF.
| Next week the testimony will be
submitted to Judge Crosby, who will
decide whether Chadima may be re-
| leased on bail.

DEcLAR[S..sALE
OF ASSETS INVALID
Assignee of D. D. Merrill Estate
Should npt! Have Ac-
eeptA Bulk Bid.

Tie recent sale at public auction OF
the assets of the D.. D. Merrill estate
by the assignee, the Security Trust
company, was declared invalid in a
decision handed down by Judge Orr,
of the district court bench yesterday
Another sale of-the assets is ordered.
Objection was made to the first sale
because the property was first offered
by parcels and (ahea sold IN bulk, it
being eontended that this was unfair
to the parties who bid on the parcels.
The total Of the parcel bids was
50, 100, and the bulk bid made after
the sale by j. F.. Fitzgerald was ac-
copied. Objection was made by Gus
tav Willius, receiver of the Germania
bank; w. F. PiepeF and J. N. True.
Judge Orr holds that when the sale
came before the court for confirma-
ton the question was left entirely
within the jurisdiction of the court
without recommendation. The mem
orandum of the court, in touching on
the case, in full. is as follows:
The report of the sale by the as
slgnee does not contain any estimate
of the values of the property sold,
nor does it state that the amounts bid
at the sale are the fair and reasonable
value of the property, nor does the as
signee recommend that this sale be
confirmed. The confirmation of the
sale is left entirely in the discretion
of the court, without any recommen-
dalton. Il,
From the statements of the assignee
and the affidayjtsg on file and from all
the information ebtainabIe. it is mani
fest that the property in question is
substantially worth more than the
amount paid. either in severaIty or in
gross. 1t would seem, from the in
formation received, that the best in
terests of the creditors would proba-
bly, be subserveST by a new sale. Some
criticism was dffefed as to the course
of procedure at the sale by the as
signee. There is nothing shown, nor
does anything Rappear that reflects
upon the fafrness9or interest or disin-
terestedness Of the assignee In the
event that in the discretion of the as
,signee this property should be offered
for sale in gross, it might be better
that the offer for sale in bulk be made
before any Offer in kseveralty is made
No possible advantage could be staken
of gross offer, as 1t would be a prac-
teal impossibiiity to prorate the
amounts upon the different pieces or
parcels of property

COURT HOLDS BANK
STOCKHOLDERS LIABLE
4 ff7a-
Those of Defanct Germania Bank Held
for 100 Gents on the Dollar.

decision Of much Importance to
the stockholders of the defunct Ger
mania bank was handed down in the
district court yesterday by Judge
Lewis, who held that the stockholders
of the bank were liable, and directed
Gustav Willfus, the receiver, to COM
nence suit to compel them to pay an
assessment of loo cents on the dollar on
the stock held by them
The total amount of stock affected by
this decision amounts to about $400. 900,
but as many of the stock holders are no
longer responsible, a small percentage
of this amount will be realized.
The order of the court means, how
ever, that the creditors will be paid
considerable more money in dividends
than had been expected by them. The
decision is very plain, containing no
qualifications whatever.
The court calls attention to the fact
that the claims allowed amount to
$685., 552.34. and that dividends have
been paid or ordered upon said claims
to the amount Of $132, 207. 80.
The receiver Isl given authority to
bring. suit against the stockholders if
the assessment is not paid within thirty
days. -ft*'fs - ~ s

Barring strikes or unforeseen inter-
ferences, the street railway company
expects to complete the brick work on
its new power house by Oct 10 and to
turn on the current Jan. l.
When the work is completed the
power house will be the largest west
of Chicago and one of the largest in
the world. The capacity will be TWEEN
ty-four boilers and five engines, but
only twelve boilers and three engines
will be installed now. Six boilers are
already in place, and fly wheel gen
orator, 5000 horse power, is being set
up. The weight of each of the three
engines will be about 500 TONS
When the power house is completed,
and before the current is turned on,
all conducting wires will be put un-
der ground so as to do away with all
danger of accident from this direction.
The condufts from Minneapolis to ST.
Paul were laid some time ago.
The street railway company is TAX
ing precautions to guard against rear
end collisions, and red oil lights have
been placed on all cars. Formerly it
was possible to tell an interurban car
from any other by these red lights, but
now they have been put on all lines.
