A country tremendously prosperous
by reason of good crops and expand
ing commerce can prosper even under

handicap even in that case. When

ROAD WINS
GORE CANON SUIT

Denver, Feb. 14.-By a decision rem
dered by the Department Of the Interi-
or of the United States, government
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
railroad, better known as the Moffat
Short Line, has won a complete victory
over the New Century Light and Power
Company and is given a right Of way
through Gore canon. The decision Of
the department was announced In q
telegram received by c. ]. Hughes, Jr..
counsel for the road, yesterday. from
c. G. Clements, the company's Wash
ington lawyer.
The New Century Light and Power
Company desired to build large dam
completely blocking the canon and con-
verting it. into an impossible body OF
water. This would have necessitated
the surveying Of q new route by the en-
gineers Of the road.
The power company is granted It's
contention that it had the right to lay
pipe lines through the canon, but 1t is
denied the right to block the canon in
any way. Attorney Hughes said that
the road never In any manner tried to
prevent the laying OF pipe lines and
says that the company is willing to
give its adversaries any possible privi-
lege that would serve to advance their
interest without interfering with the
building CT the railroad.
Nov that this difficulty has been
removed" said Attorney Hughes.
work on the road at this point will be
pushed with the utmost rapidity. We
have already done some work in the
canon, having been in possession Of 1t
from the first, and we were quite sure
that we were right in our contention.
We did not desire to lay our track.

we had the right. Now the work will

UNION LEADERS ASSAUL TED
ON THE ROAD NEAR TRINIDAD

Denver, Feb. ia Republican spe-
ciai from Trinidad last night says:
An incident in the strike situation that
caused considerable excitement In Trim
idad this evening was an assault on
w. r. Farley, who came to Trinidad
recently to take charge Of the strike
in the interests OF the national board
Of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, and James Mooney, ono of the
national organizers, who has been here
since the strike was inaugurated in No
vember last.
Eight men, all wearing black masks
over their faces, committed the assault,
but who they were and the motive for
the act is matter Of conjecture
Messrs. Farley and Mooney were both
badly beaten over the head and body,
the injuries OF the latter being the
most severe. Attending physicians do
not believe that serious results will
follow. Both are now at the Coronado
hotel. The Republican correspondent
called on Mr.. Farley in his room last
night and obtained from him the fol-
lowing statement regarding the affair:
"Mr. Mooney and myself, about four
o'clock this afternoon, were coming
to Trinidad in a buggy from Tobasco,
where we went this morning to visit
the camp and commissary that is being
maintained there by the Miners Union.
We were on the county road about
three miles this side of Bowen, when
eight men with black masks over their
faces stopped Mr.. Mooney and myself.

= So
mand Al us to throw up our hands. Tho
order was promptly complied with, We
thinking 1t was an ordinary hold-up.
They then ordered US to get out Of the
buggy, an order that l succeeded in
obeying, but before Mr.. Mooney could
do SO he was struck over the head with
a revolver and knocked to the ground.
They permitted me to get out Of the
buggy, but as soon as I reached the
ground several of the men struck mo
over the head with their guns At least
four men attacked me, some striking
me with their revolvers and others
with their fists. Several shots were
fired, but none of them struck US.
"The men made us promise that we
would not go on to Trinidad, but re-
turn to Tobasco We started back as
fast az we could, leaving our horse and
buggy. when we were compelled to
stop from exhaustion.
''Mr. Mooney was forced to lie down
on the ground. A man and woman in
a wagon came along and took us back
to Bowen, where we were accorded the
most kindly treatment, which will not
soon be forgotten. Our wounds were
dressed and we telephoned to Sheriff
Clark at Trinidad asking for protec-
tion. This was promptly furnished and
we were able to reach Trinidad on the
evening train without further trouble" :"
The men were beaten with revolvers
AID stones. They seem to think guards
at the coal mines may have committed
the assault This is the first time any
of the unions representatives have
been assaulted. .-

OWNED GUILT AND
KILLED HERSELF

Pueblo, Colo, Feb. 14-Maude Moore.
alias Maude Wood, who yesterday gave
testimony in the District Court which
cleared Horace Crumley and Ira Will
hanson of robbery by taking the
blame upon herself, took morphine in
the county jail last night and died in
the Pueblo hospital this morning at 10
o'clock. She came to Pueblo several
weeks ago from Denver, where her par
ents live.
Maude Moore was once the wife of
William Clapp, whose father is fire.
man at the hose station at Twenty
second and Curtis streets. She carried
a letter In her bosom in which the
names of D. ]. Sullivan and Mrs. Ros-
setter were used, the letter having come
from an address in the 1900 block on
Twenty-third street, Denver.
The Moore woman was arrested about
three weeks ago, together with Crumley
and Williamson, on charge OF rob-
bing M. Parara, Mexican, of $50. The
trial of the two men was held yester-
day and the Moore woman, before leav-
ing the jail, confided to cellmate that
by her testimony she would take all the
blame, and would then kill herself, II
she had no other means Of doing 1t, by

Clapp married Maude Wood in Denver

derstood that they did not live happily
