SALE OF SHORT LINE.
Rock Island Gets Colorado Springs
and Cripple Creek Road.

Denver. Jan. 21.-The Republican
this morning says: The Colorado
Springs & Cripple Creek railway has
been sold to b. F. Yoakum, chairman
of the board of directors of the Rock
Island system, and president and gen
eral manager of the st. Louis &c San
Francisco railroad. The deal was com
pleted yesterday afternoon between
Mr.. Yoakum and Irving Howbert, pres
ident of the Colorado road, and
involves the transfer of approximately
1890 shares of stock, or three-fourths
of the capitalization of 10000 shares,
for cash consideration of s7G5,000.
Cashier A. Sutton of the First Ma
tional Bank of Colorado Springs, of
which Irving Howbert is president. re-
ceived u telegram yesterday stating
that the sale had been made and tie
money deposited in the bank. Mr. SUIT
ton explained that the sale was at the
rate of about $50 per share. s7G5, 900
being deposited in the Chemical Ma
tional Bank of New York to cover the
transaction.
Though Mr.. Yoakum is the nominal
purchaser of the Short Line, no one
doubts that he acted for the Rock Is
land company, which is the real pur-
cheser. The control of the Short Line
will give the Rock Island much more
prestige in Colorado.
II is reported here that the Rock Is
land will build beyond Cripple Creek to
the southwest, and overtures are being
made, it is stated, to secure the Colo
RADIO Midland and also the Colorado &
Southern, which holds controlling
interest in the Midland.
James F. Burns, who was recently
dropped from the directorate of the
Short Line, and who is the only local
stockholder who did not join in the
pool to sell the control owns 3,210
shares. leaving 1,430 shares owned by
scattering stockholders.
The Short Line was opened April s,
1901. having been built mostly by Col
orado Springs and Cripple Creek cap

Proposed Joint Memorial.

House Joint Memorial No. l. by Mr..
Baer, was introduced and referred to
the committee on federal relations. 1t
follows
ITO the honorable Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled:
Your memorialists, the Fifteenth
General Assembly of the state of Colo
RADIO, respectfully represent to your
honorable body that,
Whereas, The act approved Janu-
airy 13, 1897, relating to the construc-
tion of storage reservoirs for free
stock water, upon the unoccupied pub
lie lands of the United States and the
withdrawal from entry of certain lands
under the. provisions thereof, has been
and will be In the future of great ben
eft in promoting the live stock indus
try in the West. Believing as we do
that the act should have provided for
the privilege of allowing springs and
water seeps to have been cleaned out
and fenced, and the waters conducted
on the outside of said reservoirs or
troughs and in less quantities than
now required by the regulation of the
interior department and that the same
be kept for the free use of range stock.
"The provision would lead to the
preservation of much stock water, and
in the opinion of your memorialists
would in no way interfere with the dis
posal of agricultural areas; but would
prevent in great measure the utter
destruction of many good springs and
sources of water supply by preventing
their being entirely destroyed by the
tramping of range stock; therefore.
be 1t
Resolved, That our members of
Congress be urged to secure the pas
sage of an amendment permitting the
fencing of springs for the above pur-
pose"

Denver, Jan. PA Longmaont spe-
cial to the Republican last night says
Oil was struck in the well of the Colo

ranch, ten miles northwest of Long
mont, this morning The drill is now
down SIS feet. in coarse, oil-bearing
sand. The flow of oil is large. con
sidering the depth. AS depth is gained
it is thought this well will prove

mile and half west OF the Ohio we'll
that was put down two years ago
when the tools were lost and the well
capped and abandoned.
Some time later the casing was bro
ken above the ground and oil began to
flow from tho hole and has continued
flowing since. until a large pool has
been formed about the old workings. A
ranchman in the neighborhood has
used this oil FOR lubricating purposes.
and at the Culver ranch 1t has been
burned in lamps as 1t comes from the
ground. 1t has long been known that
oil exists in the locality and the new
find may lead to more prospecting by
Longmont people.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Against Land Law Repeal.

Senator Taylor presented the follow
ing memorial TO Congress, protesting
against the repeal of the desert lani
laws:
Your memorialist, the Fifteenth
General Assembly of the state of Colo
rado. respectfully represents to your
honorable body that;
Whereas, There Is now pending be-
fore the Congress of the United States
a bill providing for the repeal of all
existing desert land laws; and,
Whereas, 1t is confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal is
being conducted largely In the inter
ests of the land grant railroads for
the purpose of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
lands; and.
Whereas, The present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement of
homes by certain of our citizens by
reclaiming and developing numerous
small intermountain valleys that can
not be reclaimed under any other law;
and.
Whereas. The federal land laws
nows now on our statute books have
been of great benefit in the develop
ment of this state and have operated
satisfactorily wherever their provis-
ions have been carried out in good
faith; and.
Whereas. We believe that any
change in the present desert land laws
of the United States would be detri-
mental to the great intermountain re-
gion and would especially retard the
development of our state; therefore,
be IL
Resolved. That we earnestly protest
against the passage of said bill and
against any interference at this time
with the desert land laws of the
United States. And, further, we di-
rect that a certified copy of this mem
orial be forthwith sent to our senators
and representatives in Congress-"

WHOLESALE INDICTMENTS
Isrued for Election Frauds by Pueblo
Grand Jury.

Denver, Jan. PA News special
from Pueblo last night says: Bring
ing Ill additional indictments inIo
court the grand jury which has been
investigating the election frauds in
Pueblo county this morning made its
final report to Judge }. III. Voorhees,, in
Division b OF the District Court But
two new defendants are named in the
large number of indictments returned
to-day. one being City Detective George
i. fariss, who is charged with procur-
Ing fraudulent vote. and an Italian
who has not been yet apprehended.
The most sensational feature of the
report today was the return of thirty
two Indictments against n. S. Walpole,
the newly-appointed postmaster of Pu-
eblo, who is still In Washington. In
the preamble of the final report 1t is
stated that most of the indictments
were returned against dupes of the
party leaders.
1t is charged that the conspiracy for
fraudulent registration was conceived
by Mr.. Walpole, and the plans were
perfected at meetings held in the par
lor of his home.
In the other indictments City Detec.
tive Il. II. Wilson is named defend.
ant in twenty-one.
Former County Clerk w. T. Fairfax
rs named In thirty-eight.
County Commissioner A. II. Smith is
the defendant in twenty-three.
Charles T.. Thomas has added to his
list twenty-three.
w. f. j. lnness is named in eighteen
more.
One particularly significant feature
In the long list of indictments is that
there are but two Democrats In the
entire list of defendants, although the
grand jury was non-partisan from
numerical standpoint, being divided
into six Republicans and six Demo
Gratis. Not only have the indictments
fallen upon the heads of Republicans,
but leaders in the party who have for
years been prominent in the councils
and have at one time or another held
offices under the Republican regime.
The grand jury, which began its la
bors November 2Sth, has served forty
four days. The Ill true bills just re-
turned, in addition to the 1i6 prey
iously made, make a total of 257 in
dictments-truly wholesale job

FOURTH OF JULY DEATHS
FEWER, BUT MORE HURT
Startling Facts Set Forth in Current
Issue of the Medical
journal.

The number OF deaths as a result of
accidents ON the fourth of July this
year was smaller than that of last year
and much less than half of the total
In 1908, but general casualties were
1000 in excess of either of the former
years. These facts are stated empha-
tically and authoritativeIy in the cur
rent issued of the Journal OF the Amer.
lean Medical association.
Credit for holding in check the fatal
tiles of the national holiday is given in
the medical journal to the legal sup
preston of toy pistols and blank car
trldGes and TO the improved methods of
immediate medical attention given to
wounds OF all sorts.
TO these measures, both legislative
and medical, praise is given for the
success achieved in checking the tenn
porary plague of lockjaw. but the read
er is confronted at the same tine with
statement that there were three more
deaths from accidents not causing te-
tanus than in the previous year and 50
more than in 1908. In the next few
lines he is aStounded by the fact that
in this years celebration there were
1921 nOnfatal injuries as compared
with 3,9SG in 1904, and 1888 in 1908
Therefore the total of dead and in
jured this year was 5.176-more than a
thousand greater than in either OF the
other years.
