SUGAR Plant for Denver.

Denver, July 26.-The Republican
this morning says: 1t is the intention
of the Denver Sugar. Land and Irriga-
ton Company to go into sugar beet
culture on an extensive scale In the
Clark colony grounds. In the Cherry
creek valley not far from Denver. and
have a beet sugar factory built in the
next year.
The first step in this direction is to
have good roads built so that the beets
can be carted to the railroads and the
factory. At a conference held with the
county commissioners of Adams and
Arapahoe counties. John w. Springer,
secretary and treasurer of the land
company, secured the adoption OF a
resolution pledging the counties to do
this work.
I'VE have the positive assurance Of
a factory being built in the heart OF
the Clark colony whenever we are
ready with the beets," said Mr.. Spring
err last night. I'VE own the land and
the water. and the land is as fine for
beet raising as any in the country.
I'VE have built storage reservoirs
up through the valley and there will
be no controversy over water. The
county commissioners of Adams and
Arapahoe. counties have adopted a
resolution to build roads from VOL
hurst to Parker and from Parker to
Littletcn.
There are $4,000 acres ready for
cultivation The factory people are
willing to start a factory on 5000
acres, so. that we can alternate in
crops and still give them plenty of
beets. A factory will be built close to
n consuming population OF quarter
of aSpillion."

Allied unIons Out In chIeaao.-
Others Promise to Follow.

Chicago. July 26.-with all peace ne
gotiations broken on. and with the al
lied trades unions employed at the dif-
ferent plants. with the exception Of the
teamsters eud stationary engineers, out
on strike in sympathy with the butch
err workmen who quit work two weeks
ago. the stock yards strike last night
had settled down to what promises 10
be one OF the bitterest fights between
capital and labor in the history OF
America.
As has been threatened for some
time, the allied trades employed in the
packing industry quit work when
called on yesterday to assist the strik-
ing butchers In their efforts to bring
the hackers to terms. In several in
stances the men did not walt for the Of
fetal notification from their leaders tc
go on strike, but threw down their
tools and quit work OF their own yoli-
ton.
Both sides to the controversy de
clared last night that they were per
fectly satisfied with the present state
OF affairs. and that they were willing
to make 1t fight to a finish to deter
mine who shall dictate the terms OF a
settlement.
At 6 O'Clock last night the statement
was made by President Donnelly OF the
Butchers Union that every union man
employed at the stock yards, with the
exception of the teamsters and engi-
neers. had responded to orders for a
general sympathetic strike.
The engineers. he declared, would
join the strikers this morning and un-
less there was a speedy settlement OF
the difficulty. he said, the teamsters
would undoubtedly join their brother
wQrkmen in their struggle for suprem-
acy.
According TO Mr.. Donnelly, yester
days strike swelied the number OF men
who have quit work at the stock yards
In Chicago alone to nearly 10000 per-
Sons.
According to the packers. general
strike yesterday was failure. II being
claimed by them that not over one-half
the members Of the allied trades quit
work when oficially called out. The
further statement was made by the
packers that should all the union men
decide to Join the strikers. 1t would
make little difference to the employers,
as the had sufficient resources to con-
test the ground for an indefinite period.
On the other hand. the labor leaders
assert that all the union employees at
different packing plants. together with
several hundred employees of the Union
Stock Yards Company. quit work yes
terday in accordance with the order.

THREE FIRE ALARMS.
Montgomery Department Kept Busy
 Last Night.

Montgomery Department Kept Busy Last Night.
 The Montgomery fire department had three runs yesterday afternoon and last night after o'clock. although neither of the three fires caused much damage. Two alarms came in together at 6:20 o'clock, one. a telephone alarm from the Union Depot and one from Box 42, corner of Bell and Holt Streets, where the Bell Street bridge had caught Ire from sparks from an engine.
 The Five Points companies responded to this alarm while the Madison Avenue companies went to the depot. The little frame house across. the tracks from the depot used for storing oil had caught fire in some unknown way and had gotten good start by the time the fremen ar- rived. line of hose was put on the blaze and proved effective, The. loss. which included new bicycle which was in the house, will not be large.
 The Bell Street bridge fire did not amount to anything.
 At 1o:25 o'clock an alarm came in from Box 45 corner of Scott and Bainbridee Streets. The one-story frame house at SIS Scott Street had caught fire and the entire roof was In flames by. the time the trucks got to the scene. The Ire was not discovered until It had gained considv erable headway and the Aremen had hard work to save the building. As it was, the roof was almost totally burned but the body of the house remained intact
 The damage was estimated at 800. The house belonged to Mcintyre Bros. and, was insured.
 Tintha Carter. an old negro woman and her son lived in the house. They were both sick in one of the front rooms of the house and were awakened by the smell of smoke
 Most of the household goods were saved. Two lines of hose were used in extinguish- ing the blaze and the time required to cxtinguish it was short.

 Florence, May R.-(Special.) )-Sheriff O. Hill has returned from Lexington where he went to investigate the murder of w. A. Hammonds which occurred there Sunday, and gave a more detailed account of the affair than could be got ten over the long distance telephone. He i5 convinced that more than one was im- pIlcatcd in the murder.
 An examination of the body showed that Hammonds had been shot in the lead from behind. the bullet entering the base of the brain. When found he was lying half way out the front door or his face. his head out. Two shots were fired. as one had missed it's mark snd lodged in the frame of the door at tie ievel of mans head and the d:rec- tion at which it entered the wood showed that the assassin was standing directly behirsd his victim. who is sup posed to have been called out and en- gagged in conversation by an accompIice The hammer which was used to finish the work. was found and had been brought with them for the purpose. It was not locked up and some one stole 1t Sunday between midnight and morning, before the sheriff arrived on the scene h the excitement that followed the find ing of the body it was not noticed until next morning that the house had been ransacked and purse containing $I0O stolen from trunk and T taken out Of the pockets of the murdered man.
 An inquest was held over the body Mon day morning by Esquire V. A s. Green but nothing of any importance developed. The witnesses were very reticent and it is believed some of them know more than they would divulge

 The jury brought in verdict that the deceased came to his death at the hands Of parties unknown.
