< BEEF PACKERS FINED.
Five Companies Must Pay $5,O0O
 Each or Quit.

Each or Quit.
 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 21 The Missouri supreme court has found five large beef packing compa-
 nies guilty of maintaining an unlawful
 combination to control prices of meat
 in the state of Missouri and issued an
 order of custer prohibiting them from
 doing business in this state and to pay
 fine of $5,0OO each and to bear the
 costs of the proceedings. The compa-
 nies are given thirty days in which to pay the fine imposed, and if during
 that time they shall accept the judg- ment and pay the fine the custer will be held in abeyance and the companies
 will be permitted to continue their busi- ness in Missouri
 The opinion in the so called beef trust cases was written by Judge w. c. Marshall and concurred in by each of the six other judges of the court in banc. The companies affected by the decision are the Armour Packing com
 pany, Cudahy Packing company, Ham, mond Packing company and Swift & Go. of Chicago and the Schwarzschild
 x Sulzberger company of New York. All of these companies maintain branches in different cities of the Unit ed States and in Missouri at St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph. .- The evidence which incriminated the packers was obtained in these three cities.
 The decision in the supreme court against the packers is the ending of a nrnnanfiino xUhfoh ipcfitl1f01 q cf
 May. The different packing compa-
 nies doing business in the state were ordered by the supreme court on May 6, 1902, to appear before. Judge Bur-
 gess of the supreme court and show cause why they should not be cited to appear and answer the charge of violating the antitrust laws of the state in combining to maintain prices in. Missouri. The result of the hearing led Attorney General Crow to file suit
 against the packers, which was prose cuted vigorously by him on the part of
 the state
 The opinion holds that the evidence obtained at the hearings shows conclu- sively that there was combination of | the packers to maintain trust prices on
 beef in Missouri; that the representa- tives of the packers met on certain
 days to fix the prices for the current
 week; that relating was done; that the
 same prices prevailed at all the coolers
 at the same time; that no competitor
 could enter the field against the pack l CTS because the combine would under 1 sell the newcomer out of business. The opinion does not take up the charge
 made in the proceedings by the attor-
 ney general that the companies were
 also guilty of selling diseased meat
 Much of the evidence was to the effect
 that the companies did sell diseased
 meat, but the opinion of the court was
 based on violation of the antitrust law of the state.

Class to Poli a Yesterday. .-,
 Miss Curtiss entertained the mem bers of her Sunday school class yester- day by taking them to the trained ani- mai performance at Polls. About twenty-five young people made up the party.
 Lenten services were held in St Johns church last evening.
 The second base ball game of the season will take place at Curtiss field this afternoon between TWO local hines.
 The exceedingly warm weather yes terday caused the trees to commence budding. It is feared by weather sharps that this extraordinary weather for the month of March is only fore runner of a cold snap which will set in before the end of the month.
 The different church services will take place as usual tomorrow. At St Johns mass will be celebrated first at s and last at 1O:3O a. m. Father Loftus will officiate.
 Business in all the factories is boom ing these days, both the M. Heminway & Sons and the Heminway x Bartlett Silk companies being obliged to work overtime to fill orders.
 The opening game to be played by the Taft base ball team will be on April 15 and the last game scheduled is for June 6. Between these dates several hard games have been arranged to take place. Some weeks the team will play three and four games, while the average number per week will be two games. Coach Welton intends to put out one of the fastest teams the school has ever been represented by.

Springs wasn't a good health resort
just then. The wind blew gale.
On the 18th we made a start down

about ten miles and at night went
into camp in a dark canon. The
dogs were feeling little better. On
the 18th, after hard trip, we pas

of United States troops, about $50
in number, were building Fort Wal
brach i'll the pass, where also some
500 of Cheyennes were encamped.
Here we halted and in due time
sold out all our goods and then
went back to Laramie for another
stock. Returning upon the same
route, at the crossing of the Chey-
enne trail over the Cache la Poudre
we met 500 to 600 Indians. Nj
Wot's band of Arapaloes and Big
Mouth Cheyennes were camped
there, to whom we sold our second
stock of goods. Here we met Jim
Sanders, Chat Debray and Rocky
Thomas, who joined our caravan.
Antoine Janise and other trappers
were encamped up on the Cache la
Poudre. From Fort Walbrach, no
trace of which now remains, we
prospected all the streams we came
to for gold, but the first of any con-
sequence we got was on what was
then known as the Benito fork of
the St. Vrain. On reaching Cher
ry creek we found Green Russell
company prospecting along the var
ious streams about the present site
of Denver. You will understand
that there was no Denver at that
time and no Denver Town Co."
This is a mighty interesting
tale, Captain, and 1 want the rest
of it. How did you happen to go

of more importance just now, and

John Smith 5 post we broke out for
the North fork of Vasquez river
(now Ralston creek), where some
gold was found, but not enough to
tempt us, SO we went into the Cache

called Laporte. Did you ever see
it?"
''Yes, I've been there, but it is
mostly wiped out now. 1t was

it?"
YES. He was an old French
voyageur or trapper and a mighty
good fellow withal. During Aug
ust some prospecting was done on
the St. Nrain and Vasquez fork but
we did MT find anything that was
worth spending time upon. Along
toward winter, Tom Golden, Jim
Sanders and l planted a sort of a
winter camp upon the site now oc-

named for my old comrade. From
there we made excursions to Lup-

on the Controller for the lump sum

An exception occurred when, for the

appropriation of $500, 900 for the uni
versity in the general appropriation act,
thus making it's expenditure subject to
