the girl made no reply. Young's heart
was filled with love, and at the delay in
answering he gave vent to his feelings by
breathing out honeyed words to the con-
fused girl. Tears came into her eyes.
At length she calmed herself and with
ahaughty glance she reproached her lover
for what he had said TO her.
Nothing was said by either to the
other for several days, but in a short
time Young again proposed. He was
a second time refused, and Miss Westfall
told him that the next time he mentioned
words of love TO her she would leave
his employ. For two months he re-
Trained, and at the end of this period he
retold the story of his devotion and
begged the girl TO marry him.
This she fatty refused to do, and she

gloom came over Young, and he
grew quite respondent He was natu-
rally very peculiar man, and he had no
intimate acquaintance. He was of
massive frame, being six feet two inches
tall and weighing 1876 pounds. Miss
Westfall, on the other hand, is very
small In stature. Young was quite per-
sistent in begging his former clerk to
return, and at the end of q month she
promised to do so, with the proviso that
at the first proposal she would quit his
employ for good.
Young promised. and tried hard to
keep it. But he could not, and it was
but short time until Miss Westfan
again left his employ
Shortly afterward he sold out his store
at No. 1873 Sixteenth street, because
for some reason he was unable to renew
his lease. He bought out a cigar store
in the Californianbuilding. but he did
not remain there long, and, selling out,
he went away from the city. This was
in 1900, and he is said to have taken
about $4,000 with him. Young had once
fortune, but he lost it in coal mines in
Indiana, his native state. This was
before he came to Denver.
The John Foster mentioned in the will
has not been found. He paid some at
tention to Miss W2tfall while she was
in the employ of Young, and 1t is said
that Young was insanely jealous of him.
Although separated for all of these in
tervening years. love remained in the
mans heart. and his dying wish was that
the object of his affections should re-
ceive the bulk of his earthly goods. The
will Of Mr.. You1g was probated in Fort

This the young woman did, and as she

All afternoon the vision of the hand

THE WINTER TREEA

Sing for the trees In winteri
The trees that proudly stand
lifting their hoary branches
Lie beacons in the land.
SO I'll, and strong, and patient
Despoiled of all their leaves.
They stand like gods or giants
The grand old winter treesI
Wild roars the blast around them.
Deep piles the drifting snow,
Der hilltop and In valley
The long nights come and go.
But first to greet each morning
Their stately branches rise.
Grand In majestic outline
Against the cold gray skies
And when the frost king crowns thcm
With feathery flakes of white,
Or wraps them in an armor
OF rainbow-colored light.
No master painter ever lived,
No artist eer had birth
Whose brush could match that glory
On canvas, or on earth,
Deep down in old earth mother
Their gnarled roots safely rest.
Buried with her. to spring again
In living verdure drest;
80 still and strong and patient,
Waiting their crown of leaves
They stand like gods or giants,
The grand old winter trees.

Permission to Bring Ac-

CONSPIRACY Is CHARGED
Labor Situation Unchanged
and There Is No Prospect
of Immediate Settlement
Special Dispatch to The can.

SACRAMENTO, March 1S.-Although
there were no important developments
in. the labor situation to-day it seemed
to be agreed on all sides that the situa-
tion is serious and that there is no i'm
mediate prospect of a settlement. The
tie-up in the building trades is sprac-
tically complete and the declaration Of
the Citizens Alliance and the Building
and Contractors associations for an
open shop town is regarded as plainly
defining the issue against unionism.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as II
whether unions outside of those con-
nected with the building trades will
take up the fight, but il is thought by
union men that the issue will be con-
fined to the building trades alone.
Meanwhile the Building Trades Council
announces that its members are pre-
pared TO do work for citizens on houses
from roof to cellar. and it is claimed
that they are securing all the materials
they need from outside sources In
deed, while the local supply houses are
under agreement not 10 furnish ma
terials TO others than employers con-
nected with the Builders Association.
the locked-out artisans appear able tc
secure materials from several houses.

citation, fled a petition with Attorney

spiracy to prevent contractors outside

PANIC ON CHANGE
News of SuIIy's Failure Causes New
Orleans Brokers Uneasiness.


NEW ORLEANS, March 1S.-The
announcement Of the failure of Daniel
Sully & Co. created panic to-day on
the floor of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange. Prices melted away until
they were SO and $40 a bale lower
than yesterdays close. When the
panic was over the commercial in
tegrity of the local cotton trade was
found intact, although scores of small
operators were wiped out and heavy
longs had lost fortunes. Prices
tumbled 10 and 20 points at a time
and still the selling continued. Coats
were torn, hats smashed, chairs and
stools about the ring were demolished
So great was the roar from the ring
that it could be heard for blocks. The
ring had the appearance of being the
object of an attack Of about 200 men,
who plunged over one another TO get
nearer the small pit that is in the
center of IT. 1t was not until the
of long cotton that they paused and
allowed the tumult TO subside.
At 1:3O o'clock the panicky feeling
has passed to some extent and brokers
were unable to extricate themselves
from the ring and find out just what
the situation was. They found prices
SO and $40 bale lower than yester-
days closing.
When it was found that no local
firm was embarrassed by the failure
prices showed a wonderful recovery.
At the close the tone was steady and
May showed a recovery Of 13 points,
while July had recovered 2s points.

He Falls Into Hands of
Cannibals Several Times
Special Dispatch to The can.

SALEM, Ore, March 1s.-Horace
Holden resident of Tillamook City
for the past sixty years. and one of
the most highly respected pioneers of
Oregon. was laid to rest in the Odd
Fellows Cemetery this afternoon. The
deceased was 94years old when he died
in Tillamook City last Monday morn
ing, and during that time he had ex-
periences that would fill volumes more
interesting and startling than the yell
lowest Of the yellow back novels.
Horace Holden was born in Hills
boro. Vt, July q, 1910, his parents be-
ing farmers Of moderate means. The
father died when the son was a mere
boy, leaving the lad to support a fam
lily OF children. He struggled with the
problem manfully until. at the age of
q years, his health failed him and he
decided to go to sea, signing as sailor
on the ship Mentor, and began a voy-
age TO the Indian Ocean. The ships
company consisted of twenty-five men
when the voyage began at New Bed
ford. Mass, and the vessel crossed the
Atlantic TO the Azores, rounded Cape
of Good Hope. and cruised in the Indian
Ocean for many weeks. Later the ship
entered the Pacific Ocean, was over
taken in a terrific storm and became a
wreck on a coral reef near the Pelew
group of islands. Eleven Of the men
were drowned in the terrific seas that
swept the doomed vessel, the remain
ing eleven reaching a place of safety
on the reef after herculean struggles in
the waves.
When escaping from the ship the
crew only carried away one small
chest of ships biscuits. a keg of water,
some clothing, a can of gunpowder, a
musket and brace Of pistols, together
with a tinder box and a pair of cut
lasses. They spent night on the cliff
and on the following morning, the
storm having subsidized, they were much
refreshed and ready to battle for their
lives. Scarce had the day come. how
ever, when new dangers beset them.

escape and the men were taken cap

miles away. but when nearing the is
lands the prisoners suddenly made a
dash for liberty and escaped by su-
perior skill in handling their boat
Taking to the open sea after twenty
four hours of hard work the wretched
sailors again approached land and
were rewarded by finding a good land
ing But scarce had they set foot on
shore when they were again captured
by natives and taken to the largest is
land in the group.
The natives seemed to. be disposed
to put their prisoners TO death, but
just as the poor captives were TO be
executed and put in the pot a man
clad in native attire, but with the fea-
lures and hair of an Englishman, came
upon the scene and saved them from
death. They were given hearing be-
fore the chiefs, and the natives, after
consulting their prophecies, decided to
let their captives live. Their deliverer
proved to be an English sailor who
had been set ashore by his ship and
abandoned, and who had made a name
among the cannibals.
The prisoners were we'll treated for
a time, but the food supply ran out
and they were placed in old canoes

other island, where they once more he

The prisoners were separated and
