at Deputies.
Victor, Col, Aug. 29.-Rev. t. S. Le-
land, Arthur Parker and l.. r. jerks
have been arrested and taken to Jail
in Cripple Creek as the result OF an
attack upon Sheriff Bell and several
of his deputies. Rev. Mr.. Leland, who
is pastor of the Methodist church here,
reported to Sheriff Bell several days
ago that he feared an attempt would
be made to deport him because of his
utterances from the pulpit criticizing
certain elements in the district. The
sheriff at once placed guard at the
preachers home. and has since main
tanned itsday and night.
Sunday he went to Leland's home
with deputies to change the guard. Ac-
cording to the story in circulation, he
found the house in darkness. but
could distinguish Parker and jerks
standing in the doorway. He explain
ed his mission. but had hardly finished
before the two men began shooting.
No one was hurt. and the two men
were arrested. Rev Mr.. Leland was
also placed under arrest when he
came home from services at his
church.

eERMANy WANTS HIGH POSTAGE.
Payne's Two Cent Idea Does Not Meet
With Favor.

Postmaster General Payne's sugges-
ton that the time is at hand for
a two cent postage between the Unit
ed States, Germany and Great Brit
ain, although the subject of favorable
comment in the press, is not regard
ed at the ministry of posts as feasible.
Such proposal in the international
postal congress would bring out an
instructive interchange of views, but
the German postal delegates would be
against it's adoption Were Germany
to reach two cent agreement with
the United States it would be expect
ed also by her neighbors, Switzerland,
Belgium, France and Holland. Conse-
quently the question must be consid-
cred by Germany as proposal for a
one unit postage with all countries.
This would reduce the revenue by
many million marks. a reduction Of
income to which the finance ministry
is not likely to consent. The Amster-
dam chamber of commerce not long
ago asked the Netherlands govern
ment to arrange a domestic rate of
postage with Germany, but the Dutch
government declined to act in the
matter.

sweetheart, Loren Lentsch attempted
to kill both with revolver and then
ended his own life. Augusta Guth, 20
years old, his stepdaughter, was shot

her sweetheart, Edward Moeller, was

her. The girl probably will die. Noel

Trade Report

X. G. Dun's Review of Trade says:
Trade has improved somewhat -chiefiy
because of better crop prospects and
the fact that last weeks variations in
prices of steel products failed to de-
moralize that industry. The indus
troal atmosphere is still deferred by
the labor controversies, however, and
1t will be impossible to restore nation
al prosperity until the proportion of
voluntary unemployed wage earners is
greatly reduced. Prospects are con-
sidered bright on the Pacific coast be-
cause of the high prices paid for farm
products. Foreign commerce at this
port for the last week was unfavor-
able. exports showing loss of ST.
09l,9O5, as compared with the same
week last year, while imports decreas-
ed $3,267,773. Failures during the
week numbered 205 in the United
