TRUNK FILLED
WITH DYNAMITE
Discovered in Union Station at Denver
-OWner Was Arrested When
He Presented Baggage
Check.

Denver, Colo, Sept 2S.-Frank Scher
an Austrian miner from Trinidad, was
arrested today when he claimed a
trunk at the Union Station. The trunk
was shipped from Trinidad last week
and on Monday smoke was discovered
coming from the trunk. The fire was
,extinguished and it was found the
trunk had broken open from rough
usage at the depot. An investigation
disclosed 100 sticks of dynamite, a
number of dynamite caps and several
boxes of matches. It was the latter
which caused the fire which nearly ex-
ploded the caps, which in turn would
have exploded the dynamite and
wrecked the station. Scher is an ig-
norant man and did not know the
habit Of baggage smashers.

st. Petersburg, Sept 2S.-In sum
ming uD the situation Military Expert
Russ says it is evident, from all indi.
cations at the front. that the Japanese
are engaged in big turning move
ment on the eastward. This would
give them the advantage as heretofore
of operating largely in the mountains,
to which their artillery is better suit
ed than for movements in the open.
But, in the present movement units OF
the Japanese army are necessarily los
ing touch with one another. Their
strategic position is, therefore, less
satisfactory than at Lao Yang. Russ
says it is doubtful whether decisive
or even a seriou4 engagement will be
fought at Mukden.
Pouring Troops Into Korea.
New York, Sept 28.-A dispatch to
the Herald, from Seoul, says that dur
ing the last ten days $500 troops have
arrived at Chemulpo and others are
expected. The Japanese authorities at
Gensan are collecting 1000 pack pom
les for use of the army in>the advance
northward along the eastern coast to-
wards Vladivostock. The opinion pre-
walls here that northeastern Korea
will soon be the scene of an active
winter campaign.
Russians Repulse Attacks.
St. Petersburg, Sept 2S.-A dispatch
from General Kuropatkin, dated yes
terday afternoon, announces that num-
erous skirmishes have occurred along
most points of the Russian front
The Japanese have not altered their
position east Of the railroad and con-
fine themselves to outpost attacks to
the north, all Of which have so far
been repulsed. A reconnaissance by
the Russian troops has established
the fact that the main Japanese forces
are still along the branch of the rail-
road to the Yentai Mines. Both sides
are in constant contact. General Sam
sonoff's troops, particularly, have fire.
Quent encounters, but have, sustained
few casualties. The Russians have cap
tured some Japanese cattle and horses.
Japanese Losses Were Heavy.
Che Foo, Sept. 28.-The Russians re-
siding here claim to have received in
formation that the Japanese losses in
the last assault on Port Arthur, which
began September 18th, were 1000. A
Chinaman who left the fortress Sep
tember 26th, says the Russian losses
were between 500 and 600 men. This
Chinaman says the Japanese we're un-
able to remain in the three supple
mentary forts which they had captur-
ed and were compelled to tvacuate
them. He adds that the Russians at
tempted to bury the dead of both sides
at night. because the decomposing bod
les seriously menaced the health OF
the garrison. The Russians allege 1t is
the deliberate policy of the Japanese
to undermine the health Of the Rus
sian troops by means Of the odors Of
the decomposing bodies and that for
this reason the Japanese fire on the
burial parties. One Chinese, who was
! member Of q burial party, says that
the japanese fired on them when he
ana another ChinAman attempted to-
bury the dead. He adds that when the

Those Who Attend New Mexico
Annual Fair in October at
Albuquerque.
MANY ATTRACTIONS
Have Been Secured for the Occasion
Indian Sacred Fire Dance
a Feature.
MANY ATTRACTIONS

i 'Very few people realize what mum.
erous and large attractions are being
offered for the Territorial Fair, which
will be held in Albuquerque next
month, said A. B. McGaffey, chair
man of the fair executive committee,
who was in the city Sunday with the
Duke City excursion. 'In fact, more
money will be expended and greater
pains taken this year than have ever
been considered in the past.
| Maynard Gunsel, secretary of the
committee, is now in Salt Lake City
closing contract with the Collins
Carnival Company for fair week. This
is the largest company of it's kind on
the road and Mr.. Gunsel's success
means another big event at the big
fair.
Arrangements have also been COM
pleted to have the Elks' Opera House
dedicated at that time and Grand Ex-
allied Ruler O'Brien, of the Elks, has
promised to be present on that occas-
ion. The Territorial Irrigation Con-
gress will be drawing card to many
New features for the Indian danc-
es have been arranged. These will be
led by Chief Bareface, the homeliest
man have ever met. The chief has
had the skin taken off the entire one
side of his face and his mouth and
eye are where his ear should be. He
is the chief medicine man of the Nav
ahos and will lead the sacred fire
dance. Jim Elmer, sheriff of San Juan
County, and a noted frontier character,
will also participate. as will Navajo
Bill and AL Dustin Another of the
Indian features will be a Navajo auc-
tion Of three pretty Indian maidens for
marriage. The Indians will bid hors-
es and ponies on the fair grounds for
the young brides, the ceremony being
real to the marriage, which will i'm
mediately follow.
"The parade on Thursday will be
the largest ever seen in the southwest.
There will be seven bands, troops of
cavalry COW boys, floats, Indians and
everything that can possibly be con-
ceived in such an event.
"a large Democratic rally is planned
during fair week. Besides Mr.. Money,
Senator Thomas B. Patterson, of Col
orado, we'll known orator, will speak
The Republicans, it is thought, also
have something up their sleeve. One
of the main features will be the large
attendance of all the orators of the
Territory The Odd Fellows, Knights
of Pythias and other lodges have ar
ranged to take part in the parade and
hold meetings during the fair.
"The Albuquerque Traction Com
pany has expended $4,000 on the fair
grounds in the last few weeks. Boxes
have been added to the grand stand
the track made fast and the grounds
made as beautiful as possible. The
company will have four extra electric
cars in service of the same type as
those already now in use in Albu-
querque
Everything possible for the enter
tainment of the guests has been ar
ranged and none will regret going to
Albuquerque to attend the Territorial
Fair"

pleloO ana the second SIX mOnLnS aICer
the bridge has been used for traffic.
| This will allow ample tests of the dur
ability of the work done by the con-
| tractor. 1t is estimated that the cost
of the structure will be between $500
and $4,000, which is, of course, rough
estimate by interested parties.
1t has been largely due to the efforts
of County Commissioner Arthur Selfg-
man that the county is securing an
other modern passageway over the
Santa Fe River The bridge now in
use is very rotten and many accidents
have been reported. 1t is only by rare
chance that many suits have not been
filed against the county for injuries in
crossing. 1t took practically three
years of work on the part of the COM
missioners to secure the first bridge.
This second bridge was obtained cas-
ier as all saw the usefulness of the
first one on Don Gaspar Avenue. This
is only the beginning of similar i'm
provements. as the people are now
realizing that it is better to paw mon
ey out for good improvements than to-
expend as large an amount in constant
repairs On broken down structures. 1t
has been estimated that the annual
cost of repairs on old bridges is 500
each which money soon buys stone
bridge that needs 70 such repair work.

CHASED BY WOLVES.
Mad Race for Life by Travellers in the
 Country North of Winnipeg.

Mad Race for Life by Travellers in the
 Country North of Winnipeg.
 w. E. Johnson, inspector of the Bell Telephone Go, and J. II. Amey, a traveller, had terrible experience in Stony mountain.
 When about six miles from Winni- peg they noticede a pack of eighteen wolves following behind on the trail They stopped and the pack took to the bushes, and for some little distance they were not seen again. Johnson happened to glance behind him, and saw a gray form running along in the bush at the side of the road. Another and another crossed an open space, so the men put the whip to their horses.
 This was the turning point. With yelps and yells the wolves came out into the open and galloped after the sleigh. It was q race for life, the men being unarmed and practically helpless. All they could do was to lash their horses.
 Gradually the wolves gained on the team, and as they came within reach Johnson beat at the wolves, while Amey slashed the horses. For three miles the race continued. Each mo- ment the men thought their end had come, but when the horses had almost fallen with exhaustion they saw a settlement in Stony mountain, and the wolves slunk off into the bush.
 Many residents saw the retreating pack and the torn robes hanging from the back of the sleigh were evidence of the battle which the men had gone through.
 The winter has been very severe one, the snow being too deep for wolves to obtain food. They have been forced to settlements where cat tie and deer innumerable have been killed by them.-Minneapoli Journal.

WILL ABANDON PLAN.
New Scheme Which Means a Force
 closure to be Adouted.

New York, May 24.-It has been de, clded by the reorganization committee of the Denver and Southwestern rail- road, according to the Herald, to aban- don the plan proposed last October, and to-day q circular will be distributed to general mortgage bond holders author lzlng an amended plan. This amend ment is severe and is in reality fore- closure of the general mortgage, al- though on account of the character of the pledge 1t will be unnecessary to appoint receiver for the property or go into court to bring about the tore- closure
 The proposed plan completely wipes out the present stock of the company and gives the United Security to the general mortgage bond holders A new company will be incorporated with no funded debt, and it's stock, aggre- gating $5,500,000, will be given pro rata to the present holders of general mortgage bonds who assent to the plan. Of the present general mortgage bonds there are outstanding 4,556, 900.
 Instead of treading the customary legal path the trustee of the general mortgage will simply offer for sale at auction the stocks and bonds deposited as security for the general mortgage bonds.
 These securities compose the units which were welded together i'll order to form the Denver and Southwestern in 1899, which controlled all the out lets from the gold fields of Cripple Creek until the Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek district railroad was or ganized by mine owners. They have q par value of $4,625,00o.
 The reorganization plan, according to the circular to be issued to-day, pro vides for the purchase of these securi- ties by the committee in behalf of the bondholders. The plan further pro- vides that the board of directors for the first year shall be appointed by the reorganization committee.

Before taking up the regular busi- ness ill the superior court to-day Judge Robinson heard motion TOT the extension of time to allow credl- tors of the Mattatuck Lumber Go to file claims.
