Gov. James H. Peabody has tele-
eraphed United States Minister Powell
Clayton, who is stationed in the City

the incarceration of Timothy ]. Lee,
brother of Police Captain Frank Lee.
Timothy Lee, a Denver man who WAS

of his government. Lee was engineer
upon train that was wrecked April
30th near Zacatecas. The fireman and
fifteen passengers came to their death

there are now more deer in Rio Blan-
co county than he has ever seen there
during the past ten years, in which
he has been entirely familiar with the
game situation. This he attributes to
the efficacy of the game laws and their
rigid enforcement. He states that the
deer are becoming SO plentiful in that
Eeighborhood that he believes the de-
partment should take special measures
for their protection. Commissioner
Woodland stated that he will see that
the district is kept under close obser-
walton by game wardens. He further
said that deer are also increasing rap
idly in many other parts of the state
and that the people as whole seem
much pleased over the fact. There
have been no serious violations of the
laws of late.
Questions of water fights similar
to those which have been brought to
the attention of the Federal Supreme

in the legal controversy. The separate
ditch companies that take water from
the Colorado and Arkansas rivers have
filed motions to dismiss. The Supreme
Court announced that decision would
be reserved as to these motions until
the case was decided upon its merits.
