Calls Greene a Liar;
Calls Lawson One

New York, Dec. i0.-Uolonel W. @.
Greene, president of the Greene Con-
solidated Copper Mining company, did
not call on Thomas W. Lawson of Bos-
ton to hold him personally,responsible
as liar, faker and charlatan," as he
advertised in the paper he would do.
Instead eh explained that he would
see Lawson "at his own convenience. ~
Wall street was disappointed, for il
was fully expected Greene would pack
his gun and start for Boston. Lawson
waited all day for Greene, then sent a
telegram calling him liar and invit-
ing him to come and bring revolver
with the notches on it.
Thomas W. Lawson's attacks ON
the stock market have oauesed me the
loss Of ~ 500, 900 in the last two days
trying to protect the stockholders Of
my Greene Consolidated Copper mine, "
said Greene tonight. at was this loss
that enraged me and made me publish
an open letter denouncing Lswson as q
liar, faker and charlatan.

Train Robbers
Shoot a Hunter

Portland, Ore, Dec. 10. -Four
MASKED and heavily armed men wait.
ing tonight to hold up the Spokane
flyer on the Oregon Railroad g. Navi-
CATION company's line at Monavilla
switch, just east Of the city limits of
Portland, were met by young man
named Peter Yetter, who was return
ing from hunting trip. Yetter was
carrying Winchester rifle, and when
seen by the bandits was commanded to
throw up his hands. The young fellow
refused to do so and the robbers opened
fire on him, which Yetter returned,
Yetter was hit in the side and slightly
wounded, and from the fact that he
heard one of the men cry out, "Oh,
God, I'm shot. Joe," Yetter thinks
that one of the bullets took effect. The
night as pitch dark, and Yetter was
unable to see what became of the men,
who abandoned their attempt to hold
up the train.
Yetter states that he was walking
along the track and when nearing the
Montavilla switch he suddenly saw the
white switchlights change from white
to green. He continued on along the
track, and when near the light was
surprised to see four men, who, in the
dim light, he could see were masked
and heavily armed, waiting for him.
As soon as they discovered him the
bandits levelled their weapons on him
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. Instead Of complying he swung
the Winchester into position, but be.
fore he could discharge the gun he felt
a singing sensation in his side.
He was slightly stunned by the force
of the bullet. but recovered himself
just as one of the men turned and fired
at him again. Yetter says that he fired
in the direction of the flash and heard
the robber cry out in pain.
The robbers had already started to
run when they fired the last shot, but
as Yetter was considerably weakened
by loss Of blood he was unable to pur-
sue them and they escaped.

laps Will Meet
Russian Baltic Fleet

London, Dec. IA. The Shanghai
correspondent Of the London Post
claims to have information to the ef-
cot that Japanese squadron will soon
start in search Of the Russian Baltic
fleet, with intention of giving battle at
a point far removed from Port Arthur.
This move, the correspondence infOr-
mant states, has been made possible by
recent addions to the Japanese feet,
which increases it to an exceptional
grade of efficiency. A dispatch to the
Daily Mail says:
An officer has returned from the
army before Port Arthur says the delay
observed in Russian preparations for
the gathering the dead during the arm
istices showed scarcity Of available
men in the garrison.

We'll, yes, we are thinking some

the people of Pueblo and Bessemer
an opportunity to get out into the
hills and see the sights as well as to
breathe the pure mountain air."

After that they will come often
and will reach all the various famous
resorts within days ride of the city.
Excursions will be run to Veta Pass,
Westcliffe, Marshall Pass and such
places and if there are newer picnic
grounds to be found we will find
them. You might tell the people OF

SCHOOL ELECTION
Proposition to Purchase Ground
and Erect High School
Building.

On April Ilth a special election

purpose of voting on the question of
bonding the district for the purchase
of site and erecting high school
building.
Only qualified voters who have paid
school tax in the district during the
year next preceding the election can
vote at the election.
1t is proposed that the bonds shall
run fifteen years, unless taken up by
option at the end Of the first five
years.
The amount of the bonds will be
decided by those present at the open
ing Of the polls
One plan of the board of directors
Is to build part at time, the first
wing to cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, and add to this year by
year if necessary. The high school
building in contemplation will cost
about $475.OOO.
1t now behooves the taxpayers of
