WILL RESTOCK
OUR STREAMS
With Fish From The State Hatch.
cry at Denver. Credit Due to
Geo. z. Cassedy.

Through persistent efforts on the
part Of George K. Cassidy the state
authorities this week liberated 40 600
native and rainbow trout in Beaver
and Cottonwood creeks with a view of
restocking them with fish, as they have
been depleted Of their finny inhabitants
during the last few years by over
jealous sportsmen. Fish Commissioner
Woodward promised last spring to
supply Mr.. Cassidy with the necessary
fish to restock Beaver creek, but the
demands upon the Denver hatchery
from other sections of the state made
it impossible to comply at an earlier
date. Chas. Dowdell, superintendent
OF the Denver hatchery, arrived here
on Tuesday with twenty cans Of fish /,
and, under the direction OF Mr.. Gas.
sedy, they were taken to Beaver creek
where the majority Of them were
turned loose. Cottonwood creek also
received several thousand Of them, but
its share WAS necessarily smaller than
Beaver creek. The native trout are
harder than the rainbow variety and
for that reason they we're given the
preference 80 far as the latter stream
was concerned. Hayden creek was
stocked about year ago, having re-
ceived 10000 fish from the state
authorities At Denver.

VICTOR GIRLS RAN
AWAY FROM HOME.
Five School Girls From Victor
Visit This City Without Parent
al Permission.

Valvi Rich, Julia Roberts, Nellie
Wheatley, Florence Lambeth and
Katie Wheatley are the names of five
school girls from Victor who visited
this city one day last week and were
picked up by the police and taken
charge of until Friday morning when
they we're returned to their homes.
Two of them are regarded as incor-
rigibles and were taken back by Deputy
Sheriff Chase of Cripple Creek under a
warrant issued at the instance of their
parents, who will endeavor to have
them committed to the industrial
school for girls at Denver.
They ran away from school Wednes-
day morning and walked the greater
part of the way to this tity. arriving
here late at night, footsore and hungry.
On being taken into custody they were
provided with good meal the first
they had eaten since leaving home,
after which they were locked up in the
matrons room at the court house until
the authorities at Victor could be COM
mnnicated with. The girls were from
twelve to Fifteen years of age, and,
while they may have enjoyed some
features of their lark. it is safe to say
that its termination was not so pleas
ing.

the ATLAS
OIL COMPANY

Expects to be Able to Announce
The Discovery of Oil Here in
Two Months.
The Atlas Oil 4 Refining Company,
organized here last summer under the
laws OF Wyoming with capital stock
of 500 600 to exploit the territory
adjacent to Canon City with a view Of
finding oil, last week entered into .
contract with Al Blaney of Florence
to sink test well to the debth of 1000
or more feet for the purpose Of
determining whether oil exists under
the Trenton limestone strata which un-
derlies large area northeast of the
city limits.
Mr.. Blaney is probably the most sue
cessful oil prospectors in Colorado and
has sunk a dozen paying wells in the
Florence fields. He began boring
operations last Friday and is sanguine
OF the outcome. He says he expects to
be able to announce the discovery Of
oil here within sixty days. The Canon
City field hitherto has received but
little attention from oil promoters, but
il Mr.. Blaney finds oil, q lot .of capital
will be put into development.
The terms Of the contract with Mr..
Blaney are regarded rs very advantage
Gus to the company, and, IL anticipa-
tions are realized, IS there is every
prospect that they will be. the stock
holders will be large gamers by the
enterprise.
Investors who wish to get in on
the ground floor should purchase stock
at once as it is likely to greatly enhance
in value within the next few months.
The Atlas Company has procured a
great many leases and any future COM
panies that may be organised to de-
velop the oil possibilities OF this section
will find the Canon City field pre-
empted.

REPUBLICANS
ENCOURAGED.
Reports From All Parts of The
County Highly Gratifying to
Party Managers.

The prospect of the Republicans
carrying Fremont county by a safe
majority has become a certainty
during the past week and Chairman
Jameson and his assistants no longer
feel any doubt upon the subject, the
only question now is how large the
majority will be. Although sanguine
of party triumph two weeks from
next Tuesday the Republicans are not
relaxing their efforts in the least in the
matter of registration and preparation
for the battle of the ballots, as they
realize that surprises are always possi-
BILE in general election.
Not only in Canon City and vicinity
are the indications good for a big Re-
publican vote, but assurances of
similar import are reaching head
quarters from Florence. the coal camps
and the agricultural sections of the
county. In the coal camps the num-
ber of voters is considerably less than
was the case two Eyears ago, owing to
the fact that many of them left the
state when the strike came on, but the
diminished vote in those quarters is
likely to help rather than injure the
Republican ticket if the poll recently
taken may be accounted of any value.
Candidates who have been Canvass
ing the county during the last week or
ten days say the outlook for Republi-
can success is getting better all the
time, and that communities which
seemed doubtful when the campaign
opened now afford abundant ground
for hope. There is feeling about Re-
publican headquarters, based upon in
formation believed to be reliable, that
victory is in the air and that the entire
Republican county ticket will be
elected.

Presently came the landlord. who had

the audience. He assured the sad

While the soldier was away there
should be no rent demanded for the

to conceal their feelings from the land
lord. and the scene became quite cheer
full again. This was Bushido. My

unanswered question.

custom does not permit one to betray
his emotion in the presence of strang-
ers. or even of his friends, but in the
home it is different. There one may
be natural without being impolite."
Then came in three friends of the
soldier, full of excitement at his going,
congratulating him on the opportunity
to fight for his country and the EN-
peror, and all protesting their own de-
sire to go. They brought a supper and
soon had it spread out. Their en-

GER MANS ROUT
HERERO FORCE
Attacking Natives in South
Africa Leave Fifty-Two
Dead on Field of Battle

BERLIN, April 1o.-Special dis
patches to the Lokal Anzeiger from a
correspondent in German Southwest
Africa describe the encounter of Major
Won Glasenapps column and a force of
Hereros at Oksharui on April 2, while
the German column was on the way to
Oniatu. The road traverses thorn
thickets.
Early in the morning the Hereros
attempted to surround and cut off the
rear guard of Major Won Glasenapp's S
force, consisting of Fishers company,
which was well armed and partly
mounted. The enemy opened vigor-
Gus fire, but was repulsed after a
fight lasting three and a half hours,
the rear guard having been reinforced
by Count Brockdorff's company and
First Lieutenant Manshors artillery.
The enemy were pursued for an hour
but escaped, leaving fifty-two of their
number dead.
In the meantime the head of the COL
umn, under Liber, had a sharp fight
lasting an hour. The German losses
were: Lieutenant Noerr, four non-com-
IIlSSlOneO OlllCClS lW6Hly -cl6Hb pr
Yates killed, and Lieutenant Hide
brand, four non-commissloned officers
and eleven men wounded.
The artillery action was brilliant. The
Germans suffered from want of ser
viceable horses, having only twenty
one animals capable Of scouting. The
enemy withdrew in a northeasterly di-
rection. Major Won Glasenapp marched
on April 3 on Otikurara. intending to
make an attack.

HIGHER WAGES
ARE IN DEMAND
Men Oh the California and
Union Street Lines Are
Anxious. for an Advance

Following closely on the disturbed re-
lations between the United Railroads
and the Garments Union, there has
been circulated story to the effect
that the employees of the Union street
Gable Company and the California
street Cable Company are preparing to
submit to their respective employers a
demand for an increase of salary in
keeping with that asked for by the
union men on the lines of the United
Railroads.
1t was stated yesterday that the de-
mands would be placed before the di-
rectors of the Union and California
street companies early during the COM
ing. week and that In all probability the
men would join with the carmen of the
United Railroads in their effort to OBJ
tain an advance in wages, and in the
event of a strike on the latter roads
they would go out with their fellow
workers in the other company.
Carmen on both the California and
the Union street lines freely discussed
their proposed demands for an increase
yesterday, and it was stated by sew
eral employees of the former line that
the demands would be presented to the
companies in a few days. When Presi-
dent Newhall of the Union-street line
was asked about the report he admit
ted he was advised Friday afternoon
of the purposed demand.
Il was told by one of the operating
officials Of the road" said he, that the
employees were preparing to make a de-
mand for an increased wage schedule,
but as yet we have heard nothing di-
rect from the executive members of the
union. Personally l have made no ef-
fort TO inquire into the matter"
Asked what the company would dc
in case of demand being made, Mr.
Newhall replied that he had decided
opinion in the matter. but was not in
clined to express it at this particular
time.
At the offices of General Manager
Chapman of the United Railroads il
was stated yesterday that no new de-
velopments had arisen out of the com
pany's troubles with the union, and
that probably none would arise until
after the conference tomorrow between
Mr.. Chapman and President Cornelius
of the union.

tears again. A bugle sounded and the
soldier leaped to his feet to respond.
There was scarcely time to embrace
his wife and he was dashing away,
cheered on by his friends, when the
boy ran to him and clasping his legs,
oesought him not to go. The mother
was too overcome to speak, and the
friends, trying to cheer. were furtively
weeping again. The soldier thrust the
boy away and ran off as the curtain
fell. looked at my friend and he
was again weeping.
That was the private soldier. The
next scene showed a room in the house
of young lieutenant. who had already
gone away. The wife and her maid
were talking. The maid, fearful and
unhappy, was expressing her surprise
that her mistress had shed not tear.
had exhibited no sign of unhappiness
or of anxiety for the young officer to
whom she had been married SO short
time. She had not even gone to the
station to say good-by, but instead had
sent her old servant. The mistress
simply fenced with the maid and made
indirect response. While they were
talking the, old servant returned from
the station. Both women questioned
him as to his parting with his master.
Did he weep?" asked the maid.
Was he well?" asked the wife.
AS the old man described the scenes
about the station his emotion became
stronger and stronger. At last he
bowed his head and sobbed aloud. Still
the young wife showed no sign of grief.
Surprised at this, the old man lifted
his head and asked her why.
1t is not the way of the service"
she replied. We have been very
happy here and 1 would rather think
of him as still sitting by my side"
The OLD man resumed his description
of the scenes at the station and told
how an old general who had been
crippled in the war with China and
could not perform active service had
cheered on the young master, and bid
den him have no care but for his coun-
try and his honor His mistress inter-
rupted and asked if the master had
any message. Yes, he had. 1t was
addressed to him and was only an in
junction to look well after his mistress.
