 of i. spreading the oii Over over the surface cf a Manadnmlxed road before 1t is opened to traffic. By the Kentucky method the road oil" as 1t is called. Is sprinkled In quantities over comparatively smooth streaches of roadway and then covered
 with layer of sand about half an inch
 thick. After waiting few days for
 some of tho oil to penetrate the roadbed
 sand is compressed by means of heavy
 roller, with the result that road is pro-
 duced which is said to be dustless, water
 proof, elactic and thoroughly durable.

 The cost per mile of one of these roads appears to be comparatively slight. tho tAl lLSelI DS1n& WQFlu ue CENtB U DdrEel in Kentucky and something like 100 bar rels being used Go the mile. The cost of the sund. of which 1000 bushels were required in one-mile test, Is also re- garded as a matter of little eonsequence.

 Concerning the value of the crude oil treatment as 1t is understood and enl- pioyed in different parts of the world. opinions dilEeF. Reports from France, where considerable attention has been paid to the construction of oiled roadbeds In the last two years, indicate that the experiments in thls line there have baen highly successful. In England. on tho other hand. the tegts undertaken with a similar object seem to have failed, It is stated in recent communication on the subject that the oiled roads in Surrey have proved extremely undesirable With In six months after their completion they became dry and luFapy and almost as dusty as the surfaces that had not been oiled.
 Various theories have been advanced to account for the poor results that have att tended the experiments of the sort in question, which lead one to suspect that success in building oiled roads dependA very largely on how the oil is applied and on the character of the soil.

Holds Court on the Prairie.

Denver, May 30-A Republican spe-
cial from Delta lost night says:
On the prairie just inside the line
between Delta and Montrose counties,
Justice of the Peace f. l.. Fairlamp of
Delta to-day convened court and tried
Jack Mccarthy, the child-beater who
was tarred and feathered and driven
from the county, on a charge of live
stock stealing and bound him over to
the District Court under $500 bond
The sheriff tagged the eastbound train,
which arrived Immediately after the
preliminary hearing had been conclud-
ed, and Mccarthy was taken to the
Gunnison county Jail in order to be
kept out of reach of a Delta county
mob.
Since the prosecution of Mccarthy on
charge of assault to kill his son,
whose arm he broke with a club, was
withdrawn and he was allowed to leave
the country upon deciding his farm to
his wife and children a fortnight ago.
the charge of stealing a calf was pre-
ferred against him by Burt sNutting, a
neighbor.
Mccarthy, who went to work in the
mines near Telluride after his expul-
sion from MontroSe, where he had been
kept in jail to avoid lynching, which
was threatened if he was brought to
Delta, ventured back to Montrose be-
cause creditor had attached a horse
which he had there. 1t was reported
that he had started with the intention
of coming to Delta and killing some of
the persons who had tarred and feath-
cred him, also of burning this town.
