An Agricultural Epoch.

The special meeting of the stock.
holders of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad Company, to be held October
2lst, the day after the annual meeting,
is likely to be one of the most impor-
tant IN the history of the road, says
the Denver News. 1t will mark an
epoch in which. the Rio Grande is no
longer dependent upon mining inter.
ests for its traffic.
The knowledge that the Rio Grande
source of income from agricultural
products is almost as great as that
from mines has been slow to break
upon the stockholders. The cause OF
the growth of its income from this
source is found in the improved sys-
TENS OF cultivating "arid" lands and
in the great trek of homeseekers to
points along Its line.

Denver Grand Jury Discharged.

Judge Booth Malone. of the District
Court at Denver, ON the 18th instant.
vacated the order for the grand jury
| which was summoned to investigate
the alleged charter election and regis
tration frauds. The motion for the re-
moval of the sheriff and coroner. and
the appointment of elisors to summon
a new grand jury, made by the attor-
neys OF the Honest Election League.
was first denied, after which the Judge
announced his decision discharging
the grand jurors.
In his decision Judge Malone ad-
dressed the panel present as follows:
But, gentlemen, the court desires
to say word to those of you who
have been summoned to appear here
as grand jurors.
The court wishes. to express his
high regard for you, collectively and
individually. Some of you the court
has known personally and somewhat
intimately for several years, and the
court now takes pleasure in saying
that 1T believes the general personnel
of this jury will rank as high in man
hood, standing and character as that
of any jury called within this state,
within the knowledge of this court
And yet, gentlemen, the court feels
compelled, in Justice to you and the
court. to say that no unbiased friend
OF the court or of the jury, and no
true lover Of justice who is familiar
with the situation and condition of
things as they now appear before the
court and jury, can honestly believe
that any real benefits, or practical re-
suits will or likely can be secured to

The court believes that were you
to attempt to enter upon the duties
OF grand jury at this time you would
be compelled to act without the ap-
proyal, sympathy or support of large
part OF the general public and of the
very parties who have invoked the
power of the court to have a grand,
jury called.
The court believes that no matter
wnat you might do, or how you might
do, your actions and even your mo-
tives will be misjudged and miscon.
strued.
you would enter upon your du.
ties, discredited and handicapped by
the actions and the attitude of the
very parties to whom you would nat
urally have the right to look for en-
couragement and assistance.
Il do not believe, therefore, that
you ought to be compelled to strug.
gle with the disadvantages and sub
NIT to the unjust aspersions and crit
fcisms that are bound to follow you
under the circumstances, for none of
which circumstances you are ia any
wise to blame.
The order heretofore made by the
court, upon the 18th day of September,
directing the sheriff to summon a
grand jury. will be and the same
hereby is vacated and rescindcd."

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Range Stock Protection.

The State Bureau OF Child and Ami
man Protection has issued the follow
ing notice:
In view Of the suffering of range
stock last winter In this state it be-
comes the duty of this board to call
the attention of stockmen to the law
forbfdding the neglect or abuse OF
dumb animals and to notify them that
complaints made the coming winter OF
stock suffering for lack of food, water
or shelter, II found to be true, will be
prosecuted.
This notice is issued at this time, in
order that due provision may be made
before winter for the proper care of
stock BY such persons as would not
otherwise make provision, and SO the
claim cannot be made that notice was
not given OF the intention of the board.
While 1t is undoubtedly true that the
majority Of stockmen make what is
considered adequate provision for their
stock. it is equally true that many face
winter with the full knowledge that
many of their cattle will perish of hun
ger, thirst and cold, and the rest will
suffer all the torment of such death
without its relief
They overstock the range, sell their
hay in the fall instead Of keeping 1t to
feed, keep their stock on the range
without food or water as long as they
can stagger about, and till after the
weaker ones begin to get down. feed
and water only enough to keep life in
them, do not employ enough riders, do
not feed or shelter in storms, do not
give old stock, young stock and weak
ones extra care, put them out on the
range too early in the spring, and, in
short, neglect their stock in all the
ways heartlessness and poor business
management suggest but which the law
forbids.
Some of the heaviest losses last sea-
son and every season are due to scab,
a disease easily and permanently cured
greatly to the advantage of the owner
as we'll as the stock. This is a species
of neglect causing suffering which the
law contemplates as much as any 9TH
er. ANY complaints of refusal or fail
ure to take the known and necessary
steps to prevent this disease, when re-
ported to this office will be prosecuted
the same as any other.
1t Is for this class of stockmen the
present notice is intended. The board
has the backing and support of the 9th
er class in enforcing the law.
The board has caused a personal in
vestigation to be made of conditions
which prevailed last winter over near
ly all the open range of the state, by
an experienced range stocbkman. In
most sections of the state the past two
or three years have been bad for stock
yet making due allowances for the hard
conditions of the last and preceding
seasons 1t is nevertheless true that the
heavy losses and extreme suffering last
winter we're directly due in nearly all
cases to neglect, Indifference and i'm
providence of owners.
After careful investigation Of range
conditions this season the board is
convinced that no excuse for the suf
ferrg of any stock the coming winter
IL reasonable care is taken and reason
able provision made.
Every up-to-date stockman knows
that it pays to give stock proper at
tention and admits that few more
years will see the finish of the winter
range proposition.

Law Regarding the Insane.

Judge Lindsey of the County Court
Df Denver has succeeded in finding an
old law whereby 1unatics in the coun-
ty hospital and state asylum, who
have any property, must pay for their
care.
The law has been dead letter for
years, but now that the insane wards
of both institutions are crowded it is
likely that it will be enforced. At
least number of communications
have passed between the Charity Board
of the City Council and Judge Lindsey
on the subject.
The law in question Is as follows:
In case any person who is adjudged
to be lunatic. as hereinbefore provid-
cd, has no friend or relative who will
assume the custody and care of said
lunatics. the County Court shall order
the said lunatic to be placed in the
State Insane Asylum, or other hospital
or place suitable for the treatment Of
the insane. If such lunatic has any es-
tate in the hands of his conservator. an
account for the keeping of said luna
tic shall be rendered by the proper au-
thorities Of said asylum or hospital, or
the owner or owners of any other place
where he has been treated, to the
County Court, by which said commit
ment was ordered, and upon the fur
ther order of said court. the conserva-
tor shall pay said account out of any
moneys in his hands belonging to said
estate and which may be SO applied"
