To Visit Canon City.

Representative Meserve is expected
here in the course Of the next ten
days or two weeks with committee
Of Legislators to inspect State canal
No. 1, an appropriation for the
completion of which is being asked
Of the General Assembly. THIS ydm-
mittee intended coming hel>e last Sat
urday. but owing to the disagseeable
character of the weather at that time
its visit was postponed until the at
mospheric conditions were more IA
vorable. THE completion of this can
al would be of almost incalculable
benefit to the Arkansas valley, and
when the committee comes down to
inspect the work the gentlemen consti
tuting its membership may count up
on generous entertainment from the
citizens of Pueblo, Florence and Can
on City.

ever that no difficulty viii be exper-
fenced in raising that amount as
soon as the site has been agreed upon.

Will Hunt Silver Tips.
good ft

BozEMAN, May 8.-Si and John
Brockus have gone on hunt for Sill
YER tips. They went away yesterday,
taking the trail up the West Gallatin
basin way. A fearful body of friends
and relatives bade them goodbye at
the outskirts of the town. The Brock
US boys are going to hunt bruin in a
new way. They will set cayuse bait
for bruin. The boys, who are old"
time hunters, say a grizzly likes moth
ing so much as live horse. So they
took ten along with them. It is expen-
sive hunting but then there is boun'
ty on silver tips and glory to be had.
| Many are the grizzlies that have
fallen to the rifles of the Brockus
twain. But "the pitcher may go tC
the well' once too ofton. But they
mean to gather in all the grizzlies lr
the Basin this time. They have two
teams aud tent and will put up
log house for their provisions.
ST Brockus said, before leaving
that in his experience a live horse lie
loose on bruins ground will bring th'
bear every time. 1t is rough on th'
horse, but then it is often rough OF
the grizzly too, to say nothing of tn
hunter. The bounty on mountain
lions should be raised to $50, said th
hunters before they left. These grea
cats kill more deer in a season tha
any or all the hunters put together
two-footed or four-footed. The lion
, do not care to eat the deer, often beln!
gorged with other game, but they Kill
them to drink their blood, and in thl
way waste as much as they devour.

Arrested for killing Sheep.

DILLON, May u.-A prominent
Madison county rancher, 0. Wilcomb,
is under arrest at Twin Bridges,
charged with the killing OF the sheep
of Max Lauterbach and the>assault
upon the herder. The shooting was done
on the morning Of April %, before
daylight. The arrest is one OF the
sensations of the day. Wilcomb is
wealthy and highly respected. His
arrest comes like thunderbolt, al
though the officials have been on the
trail of the sheepkillers for some
time.
Details of the attack on the band Of
Lauterbach 5 sheep and how his herd
er, subjected to perfect rain of bull
lets, was unable in the swirling snow
to distinguish the fusiladers, were Civ
en- at the time. Thirty sheep fell be-
fore the merciless fire of the marau-
ders. Six men were recognized in the
darkness by the herder. OF these, the
Twin Bridges authOrltleS charge w IL
comb with being the leader. The
shooting occurred in the Mccarthy
mountains, near Melrose. Lauterbach
has hundreds of sheep there. The at.
tack on the band is said to have grOwr

tlemen and sheepmen in this section
for years. 1t has been particularly
fierce this year, owing to the fact tina

Grave Problem in kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY, May ll.-Since
the arrest of Curtis Jett in Madison
county, Sunday morning, charged
with the murder of j. B. Marcum, a
grave problem confronts the prosecu-
tion, which may require a special
session of the legislature to solve.
Under the law Jett would be taken
to Jackson, the scene of the crime,
for trial unless he requests that he be
taken elsewhere. He has asked to be
taken to j Jackson, and will therefore
nave TO go. If he goes to Jackson, it
Is contende1 that the feeling is such
that Justice would be defeated. A we'll
designed movement is on foot to delay
the removal of Jett to J acksOn until it
IS ascertalned what steps can be taken
TO avoid it under the law. If the law
offers no relief, it is stated here that
the governor will be asked to call a
special session of the legislatures to
change the law.

The Powers Defend Bulgaria.

PARIS, May Il.-There was sim.
ultaneous publication this morning in
Paris, Vienna and St. Petersburg OF
the official view of the Bulgarian situ-
alton. 1t appeared in the Figaro here,
the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna and
in the official organ at st. Peters burg
and carries out the idea previously
cabled to the Associated Press that
the powers are satisfied with the COR
rectness of Bulgaria's course and will
not tolerate the adoption by the Sui"
tan of Turkey of stern measures,
against Bulgaria on account OF the
Salonica outrages.
1t is pointed out that the question is
not merely one between suZerian and
vassal, but is one between Turkey and
the powers signatory of the Berlin
convention, mainly France, Austria
and Russia, owing to their geograph-
| ical position. The official communi'
cations are as follows:
''Two important points mark tbs
present status OF the i'm mbroglio. First
the Bulgarian government is not res
ponsibl for the Macedonian violence
second, neither St. Peters burg, Wen
na nor Paris has the intention to per
nit Bulgaria to be held Responsible. !
The communication closes with the
statement that the part of duty Is tc

Balkan reforms, repress the Albania
agitators and punish the murderer O
the Russian consul, adding:
