deep in that vicinity.
The weather was fairly good when
the president left Fort Yellowstone
Thursday morning. but 1t turned bad
Friday. 1t has been showing heavily

have been in the park many seasons
say that the weather is worse now than
IL ever was before, SO far as white men
know. at this time of the year. II is
showing heavily to-day. The wind is
not blowing. however. and it is not
thought that the snow will drift to any
great extent. The President and his
guard will have no special difficulty in
reaching Fort Yellowstone, as the dis
tance is not great and good trail has
been broken.
President Roosevelt and Major Pitch

day If the chief executive carries out
his present plans He will leave imme-
diately on a tour of the park. 1t is his

Rio erande increases Wages.

Denver. April 12.-The Rio Grande
railroad -eached an agreement with its
engineers and firemen yesterday on
the wage question. At e final confer
ence between Manager Edison and the
engineers committee yesterday after
noon it was agreed that engineers and
firemen should receive an increase of
wages of FIVE per cent. for those on or
binary or simple engines. and seven
and one-half per cent. for those on
compound engines.
The original demand OF the engine
men was for an increase of fifteen per
cent. for simple and twenty per cent.
for compound engines. This the Off
cials refused TO grant, claiming that
the wages of the engineers and fire
men were already higher than those
of any other class of employees. The
question was discussed back and forth
for weeks. and it was only after the
settlement had been reached with the
conductors and brakemen a week ago
that the enginemen and the company
officers began TO get together. Every
thing was finally arranged IN way
satisfactory to both sides.

Denver. April 1o.-The News. under

was killed last Christmas by Joseph
Meenan. was married to daughter of
George Tuttle. Mrs. Perry Tuttle is SUI
perintendent Of schools for Washing
ton county
Elmer Shanks Is cousin of the Tut
tie boys. and Clinton Dansdill, the 9TH
er prisoner. is an employe Of the Tut
Ties.
Naturally. all sorts Of rumors are
afioat. One story heard on the streets
of Akron is that Perry Tuttle Will be
charged with the shooting of Meenan
and that the other defendants will be
tried as accessories.
1t was brought out at the eoroncr's
inquest that most of the men now un-
der arrest made threats against the life
of Joseph Meenan. although these
threats were made at the time of the
killing OF John Irwin by Joseph Nee
nan. and when excitement was running
high.
One of the questions most frequently
heard here is: Where was Perry Tut
tie on the night OF the Meenan muir
dor?" He swore at the coroner's in
quest that he spent the night at his
fathers ranch. Shanks and Dansdill
eorroborated this story Meenan was
shot about s o'clock Friday night al
though the body was not found until
Sunday following Perry Tuttle.
Shanks and Dansdill tell the same gem
eral story as to how. they spent Fri
day night. but It is claimed. on the
other hand. that II differs in detail
