Shooting on Railroad Train.

Pueblo, Colo, April &c. A. Smith.
foreman of the construction company
now erecting the court house at Wal
senburg, was shot last night above and
behind the left ear while getting on
a train at Bessemer Junction, and was
carried to the Sisters hospital in an
unconscious condition. The shooting
took place near the Colorado & South
ern tracks and near the Steel Wheel
and Wagon Company's plant.
To some men who reached him be-
fore he became unconscious Smith
said that two men met him and did
the shooting. No cause for the deed
can be learned, and as he is unable to
make any further statement, little or
nothing is known concerning the al
fair. One man who claims 10 have
been an eye witness says that Smith
was shot by some person on a
Colorado & Southern train.
The wounded man lives at 1884
Lake avenue and has wife and one
child. There is little hope for his re-
covery.
1t is possible that his assailant was
one of the several men with whom he
had quarreled over the subject of us
ing coal mined by non-union men.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they Will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
win save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains lG Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in 3. .-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all inju- Gus chem
icals. # your grocer tries to sell you
l2-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes TO
dispose Of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "l6 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time ana
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

Government Irrigation Projects,

The progress made in irrigation
work Of the government is reviewed
in a publication issued by the Geolog-
ical Survey which points out the ne
cessity of great caution and conserva-
tism in the extension of reclamation
work.
1t says that of the irrigation pro-
jects favorably reported in 1903 which
included those on the Truckee river
in Nevada, on the Salt river in Ari-
zona, on Milk river in Montana, on
Sweet Water river in Wyoming and
on the Gunnson river in Colorado, the
Nevada and Arizona projects have
been found feasible and construction
on the engineering works along the
Truckee and Salt rivers has pro-
gressed to reasonable extent.
The Montana project, however, has
presented unexpected engineering DIFF
ficulties, as well as complications re-
garding water rights, so that progress
is slow. It has been found necessary
to modify the first plans in order to
achieve early results.
The Wyoming project. as first out.
lined, has been found mpracticable.
A better reservoir site than that on the
Sweet Water river however, has been
discovered on the North Platte SO that
a large system of development may be
worked out there in the future.
Engineering difficulties are encoun
tered in the Colorado project. The
amount of arid lands thereby reclaim
able is less, too, than was anticipated.

HABEAS CORPUS
is NOT HoNoRED BY MILITARY
General Bell and Captain Wells Re-
fuse to Produce President Meyer
Before Judge Stevens and are Or
dered to Be Arrested.

Denver, April IA Republican
special from Ouray last night says;
Judge Theron Stevens this morning
ordered that General Bell and Captain
Wells be arrested and placed in jail
in Ouray county and that bail be re-
fused; also that each be required TO
pay fine of $500 and costs.
This action was taken because OF
their alleged contempt of court in fall
ing to produce in court Charles II.
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners, as commanded by
the writ of habeas corpus issued upon
the petition of Meyer and made re-
turnable at Ouray to-day.
Attorney General Miller, Assistant
Attorney General Hersey and Deputy
District Attorney Il. C. Howe of Tel
luride appeared for the respondents;
General Bell and Captain Bulkeley
Wells and Attorney Z. +. Richardson
of Denver represented the petitioner.
Neither the respondents nor the Pc
t:tioner, Charles II. Meyer, were pres
ent. Judge Stevens and the attorneys
entered the court house a few min
utes after o'clock and at once pro-
ceeded to the business in hand, which
had attracted many spectators.
No sooner had court convened than
Attorney Howe made a motion to
quash the return of service of the writ
upon General Bell and Captain Wells.
which motion was oyerruled, Judge
Stevens giving it as his judgment that
there was no condition of insurrection
or rebellion in San Miguel county and
that If such insurrection and rebellion
existed it was by virtue of the unlaw-
full and unconstitutional usurpation of
power on the part of Governor Pea
body and the military authorities.
The Judge then arraigned Governor
Peabody and the military. He refused
to permit the filing of the return made
by General Bell and Captain Wells; is
sued an order of attachment for their
arrest, and assessed fine of $500
| against each. together with the costs
OF the action.
In his arraignment the judge eX-
pressed regrets that Governor Peabody
was not present in court as he consid-
cred him equally guilty with General
Bell and Capt. Wells. The attorneys
explained to the Judge that Meyer was
in the custody Of Governor Peabody, az
the commanding officer of the National
Guard, and that it was not safe for the
military authorities to bring President
Meyer before the court in person.
This raised the ire of the judge and
for a few moments the proceedings
were animated. The proceedings did
not occupy more than an hours time.
and when the decision was announced
1t created no little excitement.
/ Sheriff Corbett probably will leave
tomorrow morning for Telluride to
serve the writ of attachment upon Gen
eral Bell and Captain Wells. With the
writ served it is the opinion of attor-
neys that the case will be taken out of
Judge Stevens hands to the Supreme
Court.
! Attorneys Miller and Hersey left
soon after the decision was given.
Judge Stevens went to Gunnison,
where he will open term of the Dis
tyict Court tomorrow morning. Mr..
Miller went to Telluride and Mr.. Her
sey to Denver.

The New York Engineering and Min ing Journal, of recent date, contains an article written by c. W. Burlington, and published by permission of the Direct or of the U. S. Geological Survey. It contains much information as to con- ditions in Alaska, and is worthy of careful consideration. The writer evi- dently knew some things when he wrote the following: "An act of Con- gress was passed April 27, 1904, author iziUg the appointment of road overseers and the creation ofroad districts in the territory of Alaska. This act can be characterized only as an abortive at- tempt 10 improve the conditions exist ing, and was evidently formulated by some person utterly unacquainted with the conditions of the country" Among the remarkable provisions of this law IS one authorizing a salary of S4 day to each oversesr for a period not ex- ceediDg ten days in one year.

FUTURE OF THE
CATTLE INDUSTRY
Change in Conditions Will Bring
Change in Methods.
GRADE WILL BE BETTER
Grass Plenty But Pastures Re-
duCed in Size Feed in
Quantity Goes to
Waste Every
Year.
GRADE WILL BE BETTER

The shortening Of the range in this
country, or really the reduction in
area OF the pastures, means a reyolu-
tion in the manner of conducting the
cattle business here. And contrary
to the conclusion of most persons who
do not give the question thought, the
total value of the Indian Territory's
cattle will in the course Of a very few
years be In excess Of the present value.
The first thought this may seem in
credible, but the value of Missouri's
live stock is far in excess Of Texas.
in the first named state every thrifty
farmer has found it necessary to his
prosperity to keep enough cattle to
eat up the odds and ends Of feed Of
various kinds: what might be called
'offall The cattle in almost al in
stances are Of good grade and when
the farmer markets a steer ii IS gem
orally good one and brings much
more than a Texan. In Texas the
herds are larger fewer in numberand
tile cattle, individually worth much
less money.
Pasturage was probably more plenti-
ful and cheaper here last year, than
formerly. but the pastures were cut
mp into much smaller tracts and in
many cases were not provided with
water and made accessible for the
purpose. The same is likely to be
true for some years TO come, and these
conditions emphasize the coming Of
smaller and better herds
Another condition in this country
now exists in regard to the cattle
business, or really providing feed,
which is a great loss in the aggregate
and ought to be cured. Thousands Of
acres Of good hay, not adjacent to the
railroads, is never put up. but burns
of every year unless someone buys 1t
in midsummer Many times cattle
men. not stocked up do not care to
purchase hay at this time, but there
is hardly a case in the country where
feed is not sought, If put up in guam
tity- sometime during the fan and
winter at good price.
To the visitor from the states
waste of this kind looks little short Of
criminal, and It really is a material
loss to the entire community which
should not be placed upon it,

mo STATEHOOD
| LEGISLATION
The Judiciary, However, Will
Receive Relief,
SAYS Mr.. DAVENPORT
Went to Washington as AttOr-
ney for Cherokee Nation
Asking Ruling in the
Freedmen Cases
Now Pending.
SAYS Mr.. DAVENPORT

Despite all the time, money and elo-
8Quence( newspaper space not taken into
consideration Mayor j. S. Davenport
does not believe there will be any
Statehood legislation by the present
session Of congress. This was the sem
fiment on all sides at Washington.
The appropriation bills must be
passed, a good deal Of congressional
time must be wasted on making polit-
ical speeches under the guise Of right
3ng Panama's or Colombia's wrongs, or
digging the big ditch. Further than
that, a whole lot Of members have
personal campaignsat home which are
giving them all sorts Of trouble. State
hood must, therefore, wait
Statehood hearings were an every
atlay occurrence during Nh. Davenport 5
visit al the capital, but an important
spoke IN the Sheei was missing SEN
tor QUAY b4d gone to Florida.
This might sound like a small rea-
son for the present failure to enact
statehood legislatiop, hut it is not.
When the venerable Pennsylvania
Senator left the capital he was as rea-
sonaby sure that no new states would
be agreed on before his return as he
gas that he would not lind the British
Dag floating over the capitol.
) Mr Davenport does believe that the
Indian Territory judiciary willreceiye
vame consideration and needed relief
though Whether this viii come IN
the shape Of an additional number OF
Judges, a new set Of supreme court.
Judges Or both is problematlc.
Congress is never especially Ipenuri-
Gus, if one appropriation will suffice.
There would be no great objection 70
providing some extra judges 70 clear
the dockets Of both trial and appellate
ronrts. Once an office is created il is
iext 10 impossible TO dispose Of ii, aud
hence It becomes dinicult to secure
relief which is impentively demanded.
The indications are thar congress
win pass the bin introduced by Con-
gressman Little, granting bail pend
ng an appeal in criminal cases. This
was always the federal law. but the
Arkansas law az The time it was ex-
nded over this territory was against
II. Since that time Arkansas has
changed her law 10 this particulara andl
|lo reason can be urged why it should /
