CONSPIRACY TO DAMAGE ROAD
David II. Moffat Charges Government
Officials With Collision With
New Century Company.

Denver, June 3.-Charges that gov
eminent officials have been in col
fusion with the New Century Light &
Power Company in the attempt to
drive the Moffat road from Gore canon
have been made in affidavits which
will be fled in the federal court to-day
by G J. Hughes, Jr., attorney for the
Moffat road.
SPECIFIC accusations are made by Da.
vid ii Moffat himself against A. l.. Eel
lows, formerly district engineer of the
government reclamation service, and
against others in the government en-
ploy. In all there are eighteen afli-
dayits, covering more than l 1000 type
written pages.
After recounting the history of this
Moffat road, Mr.. Moffat says: THE act
of withdrawal of the Gore canon land
was not for the benefit of the govern
ment, but for the benefit of the New
Century company. When the railroad,
after it had been notified of the with
drawal asked for hearing, A. l.. Eel
lows objected to the railroads side be-
ing heard at ALL"
Further connection of Mr.. Fellows
and the other government officials in
the alleged conspiracy against the Moi
idt iodu Is hSSeTltu ny MI. MOuul
when he says: THE government was
induced to take action toward with
drawal of this land by the New Cen
fury company after it had been de-
feated in a contest with the railroad
and acting upon and through certain
persons connected with the reclama-
ton service"
AIR Mof1at further asserts that the
government officials who have recon-
mended the Kremmling reservoir site
and the segregation for il of Gore
canon, never surveyed or measured
the proposed route. but acted in their
recommendations solely upon the re.
ports of the engineers OF the New Cen.
fury company, whose accounts were in.
correct inaccurate and garbled.
Thus far. according to Mr.. Moffat
$500 600 has been spent in construc
ton of the Moffat road and the taking
away of the canon. for the Kremmling
reservoir. needless and useless
scheme would entail the expense oil
100000 by the railroad.

The Simplon is the longest tunnel in
the world, and has been finished in the
face of tremendous difficulties, most
of which were entirely unexpected,
and many of which presented new
problems for engineers. 1t extends
from Brieg in Switzerland to Iselle in
Italy. a total length of a little over
twelve and a quarter miles. The story
of The Piercing of the Simplon" has
been written for the June Century by
Deshler Welch, from authoritative per-
sonal investigation and there will be
plenty of illustrations from photo
graphs to add to the interest of the ar
ticle.

Contention of Kansas.

The main contention CT Kansas is:
First-That the river in Kansas has
diminished substantially with the in
crease of bitches in Colorado, hence
she has attempted to show, by the
opinions of people living along the
river, that it is lower than it was dur
ing the early days; that it is dry for
longer periods of time and is narrower.
Second-That there have been
bitches built in Colorado which took
the water, leaving the inference to be
drawn that the construction of
bitches was the cause of the change.
Another but very important point
was that the so-called underflow had
been diminished. Kansas contends
that there is a large stream accom-
panying the main river, but much
broader in extent, and that this is sup
piled by the surface river and is i'm
portant in the growing of crops upon
a wide stretch of land along the valley,
especially in the vicinity of Hutchin-
son and Wichita. She claims that be-
cause the river has been decreased.
this so-called underfio,s has been af-
fected and that the damage to the
owners of lands is enormous and be-
yond computation" and amounts to
vast sums annually and such damages
have increased year by year. especially
in proportion as the diversion in Colo
RADIO increased"

DOGCATCHER ASSAILED;
FIERCE BATTLE RESULTS
Henry Dye and Assistants Prove More
Than Match for Attack
ina Party

Dogcatcher Henry Dye is having a
strenuous time as result of his sue
cessful impounding of a worthless,
woolly cur Friday afternoon and has
participated in two riots within twenty
four hours because Of this same pup.
When he attempted to haul his dog
ship to the pound Friday afternoon he
was beset by its owner and his friends
and a riot in which about twenty-five
persons figured resulted. Dye and his
friends were declared the victors at
the close of hostilities.
The vanquished ambushed him last
night and were again compelled to re-
treat in disorder.
Dye says he was assailed as he was
driving near Eighth and San Pedro
streets last night, but fortunately he
had Tommy Sullivan, an ex-prize
fighter of some renown and greater
punching ability, and John Severance,
an amateur at rioting but capable of
inficting great bodily injury to the
average aspirant for his pugiIlstic
scalp.
For a few moments the contest waged
without issue, but the tide of battle
soon set in the direction OF Dye and
his amateur friends, and the van
quished once more retreated. Two Of
the attacking party were injured about
their heads and another may lose the
sight OF one eye as a result Of the en-
counter.
