c. q s. to Use Electricity.

Denver, Oct. 12.-The Republican
says: The Colorado & Southern will
begin this week ballasting with Stag
its track between Denver and Boulder.
This is work preparatory to adding
electricity to the road.
The work that the Colorado &
Southern will do between Denver and
Boulder will be more extensive than
any that it has done on any part of
the system for years. The line was
one of the first built of the system and
it has followed winding creeks, as was
the custom in early railroad construc-
ton. Many Of these big curves are to
be removed by building cut-offs, grades
are to be reduced in many places and
when finished the Denver-Boulder' line
will be one Of the best in Colorado.
There Is enormous traffic between the
towns, both in passenger and freight,
as all the Boulder mines ship to Den.
yer.
AS soon as the improvements In the
road are completed 1t will be trans
formed into an electric line. This will
be for passenger service mostly, but it
Is possible that freight trains will also
be operated by electricity
1t is the intention of the Colorado &
Southern to straighten out curves and
reduce grades on all Of its northern
Colorado lines and as much as posi-

Golden and Idaho Springs. These are
the lines that will be made electric un-
der the name of the Denver & Inter-

sNEERlnc AT THE FARMER.

From time to time the News has

the propo: ton of Mr.. Peabody's ex-
travagant expenditures borne by the

day morning the Denver Republican
the leading defender OF hr.. Peabody.
replied to those criticisms ON the gov

tai amount contributed by the farming
counties is comparatively small. any
way. and implying that they should
pay good deal more.
Excluding such counties as Teller
Lake. Pitkin, Clear Creek, GiIpin. Sum-
NIT, San Juan, San Miguel Ouray. Min
eral Dolores, Huerfano, Hinsdale and
Eagle. which are almos, exclusively
mining counties, the amounts which

WALKER KILLED
TRAGEDY IN evNNIsoM COUNTY.
Postmaster at crookton Shot by
George Neai-Murdsr the Result
of an Old Quarrel.

Denver, Oct. IA Gunnison spe-
cial to the Republican last night says:
The remains of G. w. Walker, post
master at Crookton. who was shot and
killed at his ranch. east of here, last
evening by George Neal. were brought
to Gunnison tonight. Neal is still at
large and the officers of Saguache
county, in which the shooting &C.
CURED. are after him. The bullet en-
tered Walkers head beneath the left
eye and caused instant death The
nature of the trouble between the two
men has not been learned. The dead
man was q member OF the Red Mems
lodge at this place. 1t Is thought Neal
will go to Saguache and give himself
up to the sheriff.
Neal called at the Walker ranch
about o'clock last night and invited
Walker to come out. Walker did SO
and Neal renewed the old quarrel.
After Quarreling for a few minutes
Walker, 1t 10 alleged, raised his fist
as IL to strike Neal when the latter
suddenly drew q revolver and fired
point blank at his head Neal did not
stop to see the result of his shot. but
turned and ran toward the foothills
and escaped.
Mrs. Walker. wife of the dead man.
was at Crookton attending postofiice
duties at the time her husband was
shot The postofiice is located about
a quarter OF mile from the Walker
ranch.
Walker formerly lived in Gunnison.
where he conducted meat market.
The body will be brought to Gunnison
for interment. He leaves widow.
Neal has been working on ranches
around Crookton and Doyle for the
past four years. He is a single man.

1t is true. as the Republican sheer
ingly remarks, that the most OF the
farming counties pay sums that do not
look very large alongside of the
amount paid by Denver-and we fancy.
by the way, that the amount of Den
ver's contribution is not without In
terest to the voters of this city-but
the point for consideration in the farm
ing counties, as well as anywhere else,
is WHETHER THEY HAVE TO PAY
TOO MUCH. The little farming county
that Is taxed $4,000 $40. 600 or $4,000
or the larger farming county that must
pay 100000 or more to meet the cost
of the governors compact with the cor
porations, and of his extravaganza In
every department, has g right to feel
that its hardly won earnings are being
Improperly taken from 1t. and 1t u no
wonder that the people Of such county
compare, to the advantage OF Governor
Adams, his expenditure Of 81. 800, 900 In
two years with the expenditure OF w.
300, 900 by Governor Peabody in the
same period. This means that the ex-
penditures under Governor Adams
were considerably less than one-half OF
the expenditures under Governor Pea
body. To las direct cost in payments
to the state must be added the loss
caused by disturbance OF business and
narrowing of markets, which is more
than the amount Of taxes and fees col
lected by the state
No thoughtful business man, mer-
chant, stock raiser. farmer - builder
will vote for high taxes merely for the
pleasure OF continuing the disturbed
conditions which must accompany an
attempt by Mr.. Peabody to carry out
his arrangements with the mine own
ers association and the big Industrial
corporations like the Fuel and Iron
company and the smelter trust,
And this is precisely what Governor
Peabody is asking them TO do.
If he wants to be governor for the
benefit of the men he met in New York
the other day. let him be governor of
some other state than Colorado.

BATTLE IS BEGUN
ADVANCE OF RUSSIANS CHECKED
But Engagement May Not Prove Gen.
erai.oJapanese are Strongly En-
trenehed in Yentai Triangle.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 12.-2:10 a. m
Severe fighting north of Yentai, re-
sulting in temporary check OF Gen.
Kuropatkin's advance guard, Is not re-
garded at the war ONCE as indicating
a general engagement.
The latest official dispatches indi-
eating the disposition of the various
corps show that the whole army Is not
yet In line of battle. The present STU
alton may therefore be regarded as
the result OF a counter attack which
an enterprising foe like the Japanese
might be expected to make, but with.
out any calculation to prevent the Rus
sian advance
Gen. Kuropatkin's superiority In
numbers, 1t is held here, is bound
sooner or later to compel the Japanese
to fall back upon their strong posi-
tions within the triangle formed by
Yentai, Lao Yang and Sykwantun.
Everything points to that district as
being the prospective scene of the de-
cisive struggle of this years cam
paign. Strategic results of the most
weighty character render it impera-
tive for the Russians as well as the
Japanese to bestow their chief atten-
tion upon the country east Of the rail.
way.
The Russians are compelled to this
course because the railroad runs north
eastward and hence lines of communi-
cation are more vulnerable from the
east. ThesJapanese are Influenced by
similar considerations, but the
railroad no longer plays a foremost
part in their plans.
In view of the approaching close Of
navigation at YinkOw and Of the fact
that the line at Pitsewo is long and
cumbersome and liable to Interrupt
ton, they must consider Feng Wang
Cheng and Takushan as the source OF
supplies during the winter. and with
this in view the eastern communities
lions of Lao Yang are Of the utmost
Importance. The Yental triangle is ai-
mirably situated to protect them.
Field Marshal Oyama must, there
fore, hold this triangle at all costs.
The problem confronting General
Kuropatkin in the immediate future
is the capture of the fortified heights
composing this triangle, where the
Japanese will have the advantage OF
fighting behind breastworks and utiliz.
ing their superiority in mountain guns.
The general superiority of the Japan
ese in mountain operations is con-
coded.
The Russian commander undoubt-
eddy Is aware of the difficulties of
the task before him, has measured
them we'll and is confident of his abiI-
ity to overcome them. If General
Kuropatkin possessed an army of half
million men he could leave a SUM-
Gent force to attack the triangle
while he moved with the remainder
around the eastern and western
TANKS. This is considered in the best
informed circles at the war Office to
be impracticable with the numbers
now composing General Kuropatkin's
army, and a frontal advance is the
only alternative. Operations, how
ever. are likely to be marked by feints
on the right and left. The Japanese
probably will make similar move
ments until both armies become in
volved in death struggle.

Marshal Shoot. Supposed Burglar.

Denver, Oct. PA Glenwood
Springs dispatch last night says:
About o'clock this morning, when
Marshal Malaby entered his house on
Pitkin avenue, he met his daughter,
who said she thought somebody was
in the house. Malaby began search
at once and found man, later identi-
fed as Fred Burns, under the bed Of
his daughter Kitty. When ordered to
come out from under the bed Burns
obeyed but ran behind q door. The
ofiicer ordered him out again, but he
refused to stir and the marshal
stepped forward to take him by force.
Then Burns made dash for liberty
and paid no attention to command
to stop.
Malaby then shot him In the back
with a soft nose .32 bullet. The bull
let entered the spine. pAralyzing the
entire body below the point Of en-
trance. Burns has been unconscious
and under opiates most Of the time
since being shot. He was taken to the

cid moment, he gave the name Of Fred
Burns and said he came here from
Martinsville, Indiana. He was formerly
employed on the Devereaux ranch,
shout three miles west of Glenwood
and only recently quit work there. He
had considerable money In his pocket
when searched.
His motive in being in the house is
supposed to be robbery, as Floyd Nal

was seen about the streets not more
than thirty minutes before he was

that he followed young Malaby to his

SHOOTING NEAR RlDewAY.
Herman CLANCY Killed in Fight With
His Father-in-Law.

Denver, Oct. IA dispatch from
Ouray last night says: s. c. Wilson,
ffty.six years of age, shot and killed
his son-in-law, Herman CLANCY, aged
forty, at the latter's ranch on Alkali
creek, about six miles east of Ridg-
way, at 6:15 last night. They had
lived on adjoining ranches for long
time and quarreled often, first over
Chaneys wife, who was divorced from
him and who is in the East at this
time. Lately their quarrels were over
water and irrigating bitches, but the
immediate cause of the killing was a
quarrel over Wilson's cattle breaking
into Chaney's field.
There were three witnesses to the
shooting. Wilson's hired man, the lat:
ter's wife and their twelve-year-old
daughter. Wilson's wife is dead and
the hired man and his wife were look
ing after the house. 1t was dusk when
the killing occurred and the partici-
pants were some distance from the
witnesses. The men fought duel and
1t seems that Wilson shot first at q
distance of twenty-eight yards. Both
men shot twice. Wilson used a rife
and Clancy revolver which was at
half cock when picked up by the off,
GERS.
Only one shot took effect out of the
four fired. 1t struck CLANCY above the
heart and death was almost instanta-
neous. After the killing Wilson went
to his house and a neighbor, G. r..
Couchman, went to Ridgway in re-
Spouse to his demand. Deputy Sheriff
Frank PuRhy accnnnanied nv Coroner
kincaid drove to the scene of the kill
ing, where they found Chaney's body
lying on the ground. Couchman's
place is within three-quarters of mile
of Wilson's ranch.
The inquest will be held at the court
house at 10 a. m. tomorrow. The
corpse and Wilson were brought to
this city at noon to-day.

For all Other interests.
OF the million dollar deficit the
mine owners pay $4,000. The other
interests will pay 3945.00o. But the
mine owners draw interest on the
money advanced for the troops and
practically pay nothing.
A further examination by counties
shows how this system of favoritism
has been reduced to q science. For
example the G. F. & I. Company In
Las Animas county, the great coal
county of the southern fields, has Sc
cured an assessment Of $1,179,2lo on
property easily valued at nearly M
teen times that amount. In Boulder
county, the northern coal county, the
coal assessment is placed at 1905
on property worth millions. Routt
county where there is not shipping
coal mine is assessed at $428,6 500.
Here is q table that speaks for
itself, showing how the farmers will
be mulcted for the million dollar de-
felt created by the. Peabody admins
tration. And that million dollars is
an interest bearing debt. 1t is in
Cured by the governor for the benefit
of the mine owners and at the expense
of the farmers. This is what each
county must pay.

TRUTH FOR THE FARMING
POPULATION OF COLORADO

How the Farmer Pays the Enormous

Owner Escapes Without 4 Penny
Of Taxation.
The assessments for 1904 have just
been omcially certified to by the state
authorities and the figures reveal
system of favoritism unequaled In the
annals of this or any other state.
Again the mine owner, who advanced
the money for the national guard
called out by Governor Peabody dur
ing the labor troubles, by buying state
certificates of Indebtedness to the
amount of nearly q million dollars, is
given q total assessment OF 22,000,-
900, less than one-ffth Of the value
of the properties. The total output Of

to this total assessment.
Agricultural and livestock on the
other hand are assessed at nearly
their full value or $s4 100000.
