Press Bureau of Information. which
for nearly two years has been en-
gagged as a public body maintained by
the citizens of Denver, in advertising
Colorado, will be merged in the newer
organization. This leaves the field
clear for the broader work of the COM
mittee.
"A meeting of the finance committee
of the Colorado Promotion and Pub
licity Committee has been called for
Wednesday,, January G, 1904, in this
city, for the purpose of devising plans
for collecting fund of 5000. to be
expended under the direction of the
executive committee of the organiza-
ton, in advertising Colorado during
1904. and it is hoped that the response
of the people of the state to whatever
appeal the finance committee may
issue will be prompt and liberal. The
opportunity is at hand to make known
the resources of Colorado. and the ad-
vantages which it offers to people ev-
erywhere to make it their home. in a
degree that has never previously
presented itself, and it now rests
with the Coloradoans themselves to
determine to what extent they shall
avail themselves of it.
1T is the purpose of the Colorado
Promotion and Publicity Committee to
advertise our state in the broadest pos
sible way. No section will be neglect
ed or overlooked, in whatever plan or
plans 1t may adopt. and it is the hope
and expectation of the committee that
great practical benefits for all Colo
rado will result from its efforts.

Advices which have reached the Of
flee of the state game and fish commits
sioner show that the men who were
caught with the carcass of an elk in
their possession in Routt county few
days ago paid a high price for their
violation of the law with regard to kill
ing elk. Charles Fisher and George
Harper were the two men charged
with the offense. j. ID. Miller, special
game warden swore to the complaints,
and when arraigned before justice of
the peace each man pleaded guilty. The
fine was $25 in each case, the fines and
costs in the two cases footing up $73.95.

commissioner, went to Routt county as
soon as he was notified of the affair.

wants rehearing. and claims that If
it is granted he will prove his inno-
cence of the charge brought against
him by the Colorado Bar Association
which resulted in his disbarment. At
torney 7. ]. O'Donnell. representing
Mr.. Kelsey, made motion for a re-
hearing in the Supreme Court. 1t is
claimed that material witnesses have
been located now who could not be To-
Gated prior to the hearing Of the
charges against Mr. Kelsey. Attorney
O'Donnell accompanies the petition for
a rehearing and the affidavit in sup
port of it with lengthy argument in
behalf of his client. Attorney Kelsey
was county judge of Phillips county
when he was disbarred.
The Denver Republican correspond
ent at Topeka. Kansas, says that much
interest was caused in the Office OF
Attorney General Coleman by the an
nouncement from Attorney General
Miller of Colorado to the effect that he
would ask that the Arkansas river
water case be dismissed on account
of the failure of Kansas to make an
answer in the case. The Kansas off,
cials profess to be much csurprised at
the move of the Colorado attorney gen
eral. John Dawson assistant attorney
general. said: THE attorney general
of Colorado is very anxious to begin
taking evidence in this case. and this
move on his part is simply for the
purpose of hurrying matters. Our re-
ply is not due, but Mr. Miller tried to
have Mr.. Coleman agree that 1t should
be filed by January 5th. Mr.. Coleman
refused on account Of the press of
business. and there the matter stands.
Not all the Colorado irrigation corpora
tions named in the Kansas bill have
filed their answers in the suit yet. and
we have not been disposed to hurry
them, although Mr.. Miller is very anx-
ious to have the issues made up. The
filing of the motion by the Colorado
attorney general, therefore. amounts
to nothing SO far as the merits Of the
case are concerned. We have not,
and will not. be in any hurry In this
matter. There is no occasion for un.
due haste. and the case will. Of course,
come up at the proper tine"

NAN WHO Is SAID TO HAVE
BEEN THE AaaREssoR Is N
TIE HOSPITAL AND HIS AS
SAILANT Is N JAIL,

In a drunken row at the Finland
saloon, 244 Main avenue, at an early
hour this morning John Luoma, the
proprietor, shot and seriously wound
ed George Burns. Just how the row
started is somewhat Of mystery.
There was large crowd in the
saloon and all apparently were under
the influence Of liquor. Burns, who
has the reputation of q gun man,
came to the saloon with a loaded re-
volver to right the wrongs Of some
friend of his. He had several drinks
and then displayed the gun. Luoma
at once started shooting. He fired
three shots, all of which took effect.
Burns is at the Sacred Heart hos
pital and, though badly wounded, is
not in any particular danger. He has
a wound through the shoulder and
two flesh wounds.
Luoma was arrested Immediately
after the shooting by Of1cers Burns
and Briley and booked at the police
station on the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder Charles
johnson, E Mattson and William
Take are being held by the police as
witnesses
The Finland saloon has given the
police a great deal of trouble in the
last few days and the council will be
asked by the police to revoke its
license Early yesterday morning
Matt Saari was wounded in a cutting
affray there.

railroad men in Chicago. To j. c.
Schiller was given the toast of telling
all he knew about Mr.. Stubs and in
cidentally cheering up that gentleman
with mild flattery. Director Stubs,
Assistant Traffic Manager f. o. Nc
Cormick of the Southern Pacific, Cen
eral Freight Agent r. B. Miller of the
o. R. 4 n, responded for the railroad
people.
POSTMASTER Goodall related today
some of the conversation that passed
between himself and Stubs at the
dinner when they got together, as
follows:
1T has been IA years since I visited
the city. simply am astounded at it's
growth and can scarcely comprehend
it. If | had not seen your surrounding
country the past two days I could not
understand it, 1t is a beautiful city
and surpasses all expectations. ! ex-
pected to find here a prairie city such
as one sees in the west and such as
| carried in my mind from my former
visit. But ! have driven through the
city for hours and am deply impressed
with all its beauty and permanency and
am certainly glad that ! made the
trip"
He stated to Mr.. Goodall that he
would in all probability be at the
Chicago conference which he thought
was the proper thing for Spokane
business men. What he would favor
then he refused to state of intimate.
Mr.. Goodall added 81 think we
should have been in an infinitely better
position if we had not declared the
boycott off until after Stubb's visit.
Of course with the boycott out of the
way he is in the same boat as the
others and could hold out no encour-
agement"

DISSApATES
The funds

The demon drink ha broken up the
home of Ida and Charles McOmber.
Mrs. McOmber has filed complaint
against her husband with the county
clerk in which she asks for a divorce.
The couple were married in 1892 and
have one child aged years, which
he asks for. In the complaint Mrs.
McOmber alleges that for long time
past her husband has been addicted
to strong drink and has frequently
gone on long sprees. During these
periods he has dissipated the family
resources and has contributed nothing
toward the support of his wife and
child.

J. J. HILL COMING

According to information from the

for western points on his road Tuesday
next. He will arrive in St. Paul from
the east tomorrow or Monday and will
start west Immediately. His visit to
Spokane and the coast is much discuss
ed about the local railroad offices but

After the Spokane shippers have
ANONYMOUSLY retreated and the jobbers
have betrayed the small retailers along

great possibilities lay in those visits
and the coming election, had Spokane
