ANOTHER MURDER
ON THE GRADE
Martin Preston Brutally Beaten
UP Six Weeks Ago and Dies on
Monday.
HIS AssAILANTs IN JAIL-A MIGHTY
TOUGH GANG BROKEN UP.

What will prove to be another murder
for the courts OF this county came to
light on Monday morning of this week.
when Martin Preston, a grader working
on the Moffat road, died from the effects
Of severe beating he had received some
weeks prior at the hands of tough
gang.
Monday morning word was received
here that the coroner and sheriff were
wanted at Ragtown, in Boulder park, as
man named Martin Preston had died
there that morning, and from the effects
OF severe beating he had received some
weeks previous. Sheriff Cody and Coro-
ner Asquith Immediately proceeded
there, and found the dead man. Upon
investigation they found that Preston
seemed to be victim for certain gang
OF men, among whom was Frank Cooley.
better known as "Dago Frank" and Pa.
bio Rivera, Mexican. Two months ago
Preston was pounded, kicked and robbed,
and again six weeks ago while he was
lying down outside saloon Cooley came
along and hit him over the head with a
beer bottle, and then the gang robbed
him.
and care, but after lingering for six
weeks, succumbed to the terrible beating
he had received. His body was brought
to Central and relatives in New York
communicated with, and the body is now
being held subject to their orders, al.
though an inquest will probably be held
as soon as evidence can be secured. 1t is
claimed that he at one time was a promi-
nent railroad contractor, and at one time
was head boss for the large railroad con-
tracing firm CT Fitzpatrick & Co. He
lost his money in a contract and then
had some trouble with his wife, since
which time he has been attempting to
make another stake, although at times
going ON extended sprees. He was one
OF the best tunnel contractors in the
country.
Sheriff Cody upoh arriving in Boulder
park found that things were in a chaotic
condition there as regards peace officers,
and Immediately appointed S. l.. Lam
bert a deputy. Lambert promised to
find the gang and arrest them, and the
following day he arrestnd Rivera and
Cooley just as they we're getting ready
to skip out. He had considerable trou-
BILE in getting them to Central, as he
could get no assistance, the people OF
that community seemingly being in fear
OF this gang.
This is not the first time that this
gang has come into notice, as they have
pounded up several people, but always
threatened the victims until the victim
skipped out. Their mode was to rob
and then beat up their victim. Another
one Of the gang is known as KID Muir
ply, and he has skipped, but it is ex-
pected to get him within day or so.
The entire gang has made it practice
to follow railroad contractors and came
here from Cascade. Idaho, where they
were in just such business as here, and
had everyone afraid of them. Sheriff
Cody now has good deputy there, and
between the deputy and the sheriff they
promise to rid the country OF this outfit.

the WORKER IN 1915.

The Engineering Magazine, in an ar
tcle dealing with the improvement OF
productive machinery, quotes the man
ager Of large factory as saying, "the
workman of the year 1900. IL kept out
of touch with current developments
would make a poorer showing the shop
of 1915 than the workman of George
Stephenson's time would In the average
shop today
The remark truthfully expresses the
rapidity of progress and change in the
Industrial methods. forced by the kill
ing pace of present day competition.
Machinery that yesterday found mar
velous Is cast aside today for another
that does its work faster and better.
Mechanical genius devotes itself. not
SO much TO running the one machine
we'll as to making another to do more.
Ten years of 1900 promise as much of
mechanical improvement as three
quarters of the past century saw in per-
Torrance. Stephensons crude locomo-
tive held its own longer than the finest
and fastest of the great passenger mot
ors of today can hope to. The speed of
invention Is cumulative and grows up
on its own momentum.
The trouble liz that invention out
foots human development. Radical
changes in Industrial conditions, forced
by improved machinery, invariably
catch labor by surprise. The linotype
put an army of men out Of employment.
The old hand weavers held to their
hand looms and starved. Every new
invention that does mans work
leaves family hungry. A class of
workers go to the scrap pile with the
old machines when the new ones are
installed. An electric current, a puff of
steam, replaces his strength and cum
ming combination of cogs and belts and
levers fills the place his intelligence
supplied.
Inc SITUATION 10 nara TOT tne WoIheI.
Strive as he will to keep abreast of a
system. that changes in fifteen years so
absolutely that the workman of 1905
stands in the same relation to 1915 as a
workman of the early years of 1900
stands to the present, he must often
fail. The pace is too swift for the av-
erage workingman. 1t is only by in
tense application that he can keep In
touch with the new order 1t is race
between the man and the machine.
The careless man, satisfied with the
present will wake up in 1915 to find
himself on foot while the world mas
moved on in its automobile.

AN EVIL DE GENERATION.

Whether the stock yards strike is
broken or not The general result has
not contributed anything to the culti-
vation of friendly feeling between the
public and the beef trust. In the first
place the public has failed to see any
good excuse for this strike. With the
present high price OF meat all over the
country the average citizen fails TO see
the necessity for cutting laborlng mems
wages from 1sis cents to 17Is cents per
hour. To them sl.s5 per day for ten
hours work is little enough for man
to five on in city like Chicago. Then
when the cut wsts made and The strike
precipttated the public was told by the
packers that refiigerators we're stocked
with meat preparatory to this struggle.
and that the packers could hold out
indefinitely. Consequently when the
of produce is raised several cents per
pound the public is prone to ask one
OF two questionsi why this raise
when you have such large supplies"
or did you provoke this strike for the
sole purpose OF unloading your great
surplus at an abnormal price,"
In all the great cities where retail
shops are dependant upon the large
packers, where they are not prepared
IN L{u fa, tb,.,,,s,alyoc fba r,rieaa af oil
meats have gone up two to fur cents
per pound and the wage working peo-
pie of these cities are paying the pack
ers' strike losses. and, God knows, how
much more besides The P,,lack, the
Russian and this Hungarian who work
in the slaughter pens for 1871 cents per
hour have combined in a great trust of
their own to fight unitediy for better
wage, and for Q. monopoly o. the en-
ployment in the slaughterng business.
But now they are at war with the
packing house owners trust, and.
while each tears down the constructive
work of the other. the public. the wage
workers IN other occupations. makes
good all losses.
II the result will have encouraged re-
tail butchers to combine for the pur
pose of cooperative slaughtering or
will have induced packing plants 10
spring up in other cities and distribute
the packing business away from Chi
cago the public may get the worth of
It's money. There are son.e phases
about the economies OF combination
that are not altogether desirable This
lesson was learned and the principle
established ages ago by the old women
who objected to putting all Of. her eggs
in one basket. She was seeking to
minimize the risk of a possible acct
dent and that Is what the public would
like to see arranged In the neat pack
ing and coal mining industries.

WORKMAN INSURANCE.

A correspondent Of New York paper
sent some interesting facts regarding
the workmens insurance which is pop
ular and prevalent thruout Germany.
This insurance Is mainly of three
forms-against illness, accident and
of those insured against illness
amounted in 1901 to 10.31S564 OF whom
2,099,050 were women. The great in
crease in this line OF insurance is in
dicated by the fact that the number so
insured in 1886 was only 4,67O.s59.
Those protected by accident insur-
ance include all workmen engaged In
trade, building. navigation, etc, as
we'll as in agriculture and ftresty, the
/ list including clerks and officials with
an annual income up to 5000 marks
(S750) and small employers. The num-
Der OF those thus insured amounted in
1902 to II, $4,000. The number of those
insured against accident has likewise
risen 1t amounted to 100000 in 1885,
the first year OF this insurance, and to
13,374,566 in 1889, when the agricultural
accident insurance came into force.
To carry out the work Of insurance
against illness there existed IN the en-
pire in 1901 22,11O sick clubs" with a
total number Of 10.319,564 members.

How to Waan Colts.

When the colts are five to six months
old, place them in a room stable. not
more than two colts in stable, writes
J. M. Hill, of Duqoin, Ill. I feed colts
oats and bran and green corn fodder,
the latter is much better than dry hay
to keep the bowels open. keep plenty
of cool water in reach Of colts in 4
tight box in one corner Of the stall!
and about four feet from the ground.
groom colts once a day and keel
them clean. ! have a tight stall SO
the colts can't hang themselves in a
crack or see the dam. / keep colts in
stable two weeks; I then turn them to
the mares, each colt having on spike
muzzle, and as soon as they attempt
to suck, the spikes will thrust the
dams flank and she will drive them
away, and one or two bluffings in such
a manner the colts will quit trying to
suck. But if l should muzzle colts
without keeping them in prison two
weeks the dam would suffer great pain
in letting the colt suck. and by keeping
the colts in prison destroys their desire
to suck to any great extent. also the
dams desire to let them suck.
