Disreputable newspaper writer's

The Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron
company, which has been operating
the coal and iron pi ioperties formerly
owned by the c F. & |. company, but
which were acquired by Edward F
Carey when the latter company be-
came involved, has turned over the
properties to the C. F. & company.
The latter company will operate them
in the future for the Colorado Indust
rial company.
This is but another step in the re-
organization scheme of the C. F. e. /.
company. The Industrial company
has acquired the Carey company hold
ings and mortgaged them, together
with securities, to float $45, 100000

action of the Rocky Mountain Coal

company was organized to take
charge of the properties on the La

Office of the c. F & l. company it was
stated that the new improvements
contemplated by the company would
now be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible There will be some new i'm
provemcnts at the steel plant in Pu-

pushed in all plants and properties.

BEN ALBERTA
is AT LARGE

Ben Alberta is an unknown
quantity to the Bessemer police
at present, although a muchly
wanted fugitive from justice.
Alberta is colored, and was
only released from the pen about
four months ago where he had
served two years or more for
stealing wagon load of bacon,
lard and other good things at the
Bessemer Junction.
This time he was wanted for
stealing half a hog and a pile of
groceries, the complaint of the
loss OF the latter coming from
the Minnequa Mercantile COM
pany.
On attempting to arrest him in
his own yard last Saturday night
Alberta struck Officer w. F.
Langdon stunning blow in the
mouth, loosening several teeth,
and then springing over fence
disappeared in the darkness and
has not since been seen by the
police.
Alberta is probably the most
powerful man in Pueblo and in
assisting in carrying brick or
stone about new building he
lifts more than any other two
men will tackle. He could enter
the prize ring such as seen here
and pitch both pueilists and ref
cree over the ropes just for pas
time. The fellow is either in
close hiding now or has left the
city for awhile, but he will drift
back eventually.
