gro convicts to dynamite their way
out of the state prison, Pete Dodson.
one of the conspirators, tonight cut
his own throat and will die.
officials of the prison, becoming sus-
picious of the negroes actions, insti-

course of Gov. James II. Peabody and
the military authorities, saying they
appeared to be in insurrection against
the court.
Gen. Bell, through Assistant District
Attorney David Howe of Telluride, ex-
cused his failure to produce Meyer on
the ground that he deemed ii unsaee
to bring Meyer to Ouray or to reduce
the military force in San Miguel coun-
ty by so doing, and that the Gov
ernor had ordered him to disregard the
writ.
Judge Stevens said: "A very grave
question is presented as to whether it
is the striking miners or the Gov
ernor of Colorado and the National
Guard that are engaged in insurrec-
ton and rebellion against the laws of
the state.
IF there is to be a reign of military
despotism in this state and civil au-
thorfty is to have no Jurisdiction, the
latter might as well go out of busi-
ness"
Judge Stevens refused to permit the
filing of the return to the writ. or
dered that Charles II. Meyer be dis
charged from custody. issued an order
of attachment against Gen. Bell and
Capt. Wells, assessed a fine of $500
each and expressed regret that the
Governor was not before the court,
as he held him equally guilty with
Gen. Bell and Capt. Wells.

Telluride, COL, April 11.-When Gen.
Sherman Bell was Informed to-day
that Judge Stevens had ordered him
self and Capt. Wells confined in the
Ouray county Jail for contempt, he
said:
'If Sheriff Corbett takes us to Ouray
II will have to be over the dead bodies
of all the soldiers under my command
in this county. He has not men
enough to do that. The situation de-
mands that we stay in Telluride.
"Mr. Meyer will never be produced
in court until Gov. Peabody orders me
to produce him unless he escapes and

Price of Cotton Hereafter.

w. ID. Hunter, an entomologist of the
agricultural department, is studying
the boil weevil pest, and he seems 20
have arrived at the conclusion that its
march across the cotton belt cannot
be stayed. He believes the insect will
stay in the cotton fields, and for that
reason he predicts higher prices here
after for cotton. The world will never
again buy fve-cent cotton from the
men who grew It, That low record Of
the dull years in the last decade has
gone never to return.
Between the lack of labor in the
south and the increasing demand for
cotton in all parts of the world, the
price of cotton would be increased
II there were no boil weeyils in sight.
The boil weevil simply accentuates
the situation. A minimum of 10 cents
and maximum of Is cents seems
probable, SO much has the general
situation in the cotton trade changed
of late.
This situation Is not one that will
pass away in year. Unless the labor
supply can be increased, cotton below
10 cents pound will soon become an
impossibility. The boil weevil will do
its part in raising prices, but the grow
ng demand for cotton will do much
more. The planting industry has in
short become all at once one of the
most profitable in the country, and
it will be strange indeed If it does not
soon attract both immigration and
capital. Cotton lands will assuredly
keep step with the price of cotton,
and capitalists will soon appreciate
the opportunities that cotton growing
offers. The old state of things has
passed away.
