100000 and 100000 gallons that re-
manned in the lake. turning it through

reservoir.

jor Naylor accompanied the Victor
men to prevent caretakers of the Col
orado Springs system interfering. The
city officials assumed responsibility
and will defend any action that the city
of Colorado Springs may bring for
damages for appropriation of the avail
able supply
Reports from Colorado Springs that
half billion gallons was drained from
the reservoir is preposterous, since the
Victor reservoir holds only zoo. 1000
gallons. The water secured will supply
the city for thirty days. The city's
Bison Park reservoir contains 200. 0.O00,-

ROBBERY AND MURDER MARK
OPENING OF NEW YEAR in DENVER

Denver. Jan. 2-Just as the whistles
were ushering in the New Year three
unknown men. bent on robbery. drove
up to the grocery store conducted by
Thomas NJ. Youngblood at 1875 Ala
media avenue. valverde. in the south
ern part of the city. and when met by
a refusal from him TO throw up his
hands, they shot and killed his wife.
mortally wounded his son. who came
running to his assistance, and after fir-
ing a shot at Mr.. Youngblood. which
missed, escaped in their buggy The
police ambulance was called and the
young man taken to the county hos
pital. where 1t was said he might not
survive the night.
Thomas NJ. Youngblood. sixty-two
years old, lives with his aged wife and
his son and the latter's family. in
rooms back OF the grocery. Robert
Youngblood. the son. had retired with
his wife and four children. The grand
parents were just preparing for bed
having sat up later than usual TO sec
the old year out.
A knock startled the occupants of the
house, and Thomas Youngblood went
to the door. Two men stood there.
One asked II he might use the tele-
phone to call for a doctor. The old
man threw the door open and both men
entered. AS soon as they were well in
side, both drew revolvers and after
commanding the old man to throw up
his hands they told him to bring them
what money he had in the store.
Thomas Youngblood refused to throw
up his hands and grappled with the
murderer. The grandmother at once
began to scream for help from her son.
With the most cold blooded wantoness
one of the thugs shot her through the
head. the bullet taking. effect in the
mouth and ranging up through the
brain. She died instantly.
Almost at the same instant the first
shot was fired Robert Youngblood came
through the door of his sleeping apart
ments in his night clothes. No sooner
had he appeared than he too was shot
through the head. Fearing that the
noise of the shots would arouse the
neighborhood and result in their cap
ture. the murderers took the last shot
at the old man as he started to bend
over his wife. The shot missed.
Chief of Police Armstrong and De-
tective Captain Connor with several
policemen and detectives at once left
for the scene of the double murder
and mounted men were started out
to scour the vicinity in every direc-
tion.

Would Repeal Land Laws.

Senator Gibson OF Montana, lender OF
the movement In Congress for therepeal
public land acts, was before the public
land commission and urged repeal OF
the desert land, timber and stone and
homestead Communication acts.
He called attention to the immense
areas OF lands being absorbed under
these laws. large portion Of which is
going into the hands OF corporations
and spectators. he taid.
Referring to the argument being
made that repeal OF the land laws
would prevent further accumulation or
funds for government irrigation works.
he said he would be pleased to see ir-
rigation works stopped rather than see
bad land laws retained on the statute
books.
He said the irrigation fund contains
$16.000.000 and is revolving or perpet-
ual, MS money expended must be re-
turned by the beneficlaries under gov7
ernment irrigation enterprises. Even
should the source OF further increase be
cut on by land law repeal, the amount
would be Increased to u considerable
extent by sales OF timber. and while
the fund might be crippled. 1t would
not be prostrated.
Senator Gibson said he approved the
Quarles bill. which proposes repeal OF
all land laws excepting the homestead.
Representative Mondell also appeared
before the committee and called attea-
ton to the fact that Canada, through
liberal land laws, is attracting large
numbers. OF settlers from this country
across the line into British Columbia.
More generous land laws are needed In
this country to check this drain upon
