STRATT0N SUIT ENDS
FULL VICTORY ron THE ESTATE
United States Supreme Court Denies
Writ Of certiorArivLawyers for
Estate Expect to Win Another Suit
Now Pendinq.

NOW PENDING.
Colorado Springs. Colo. April IL
The United States Supreme Court at
Washington yesterday denied the ap-
plication OF the Stratton's Independ-
ence Company. Limited. for a writ Of
certiorari In Its suit against the execu-
tors Of the Stratton estate for $G,0OO.-
900. This means that the estate has
won q victory In the Supreme Court
and practically all litigation is now at
an end. Both In the United States
Circuit Court and the Circuit Court OF
Appeals decisions were rendered in
favor of the estate. In the latter court
the decision was handed down In st.
Louis only a few weeks ago, and the
London company Immediately applied
to the United States Supreme Court
for q writ OF certiorari.
There IL still pending in the United
States Circuit Court in Denver suit
brought by the Venture company
against the estate for $2.000.000. but
the leading points involved In both
suits are the same. SO that the execu-
tors are confident of winning In the
suit now pending.
The ground for the suits was the al
legged sailing OF the Stratton's Inde-
pendence mine by the late w. S. STRAIT
ton. The mine was sold TO the Ven
ture people and the Stratton's Inde-
pendence. Limited. Company organ
lied. The price was 100000. The
sale was negotiated by Werner Y. Reed
OF this city. and he is popularly sup
posed to have received a commission
of Sl.000,o00.
When the charge of sailing the mine
was first made IL created a profound
Mr.. Stratton never for n moment cred
tied the charge. and all along the ex-
ecutors of the estate have expressed
themselves as confident OF victory.
The news OF yesterdays decision
came In telegram to the firm OF Meal
lister a. Candy, the attorneys for the
Stratton estate In this city. Associated
with them In the defense were Justice
Luther NJ. Goddard OF the State SUI
preme Court and +. +. whitted OF the
firm OF Dimes a. Whitfield of Denver.
The London company was represented
by Thomas. Bryant & Lee and Charles
J. Hughes. Jr.. of Denver. and Samuel
untermeyer and Marshall of New York
City.
The final settlement of this suit
brings the Myron Stratton Home one
step nearer OF realization. With this
suit out OF the way long stride in the
direction OF beginning work on the
home has been accomplished.
The suit OF Leslie W. Popejoy for $S,-
100000 as an alleged partner OF STRAIT.

Deportation Cases Dismissed.

Denver. April ia Cripple Creek
dispatch last night says:
The deportation cases being tried in
the District Court. in which number
OF leading mine owners OF the district
were charged with deporting citizens
from this district on August goth last.
were nolled today by District Attor-
ney Clarence c. Hamlin. Attorney
Hamlin stated that he felt 1t his duty
under the circumstances. to save the
county needless expense. as II has
been shown that jury could not be
secured. and that to go further in the
cases would be n waste OF public funds.
Special Prosecutor Charles c. But
Ter. who was appointed by Jadge l.. W.
Cunningham to prosecute the cases.
said that he believed the district at
torney was sincere in thinking that the
cases ought to be dropped. but that
he did not agree with him. and that he
believed he had honestly worked up a
thoroughly good case.
II had been planned to start the cir
culation OF petitions throughout the
district. asking every taxpayer to sign
II. requesting the court to dismiss the
cases.

FOX INQUEST.
Trinidad Jury Fastens Crime Of MSr-
Ger on johnson.

Denver. April ia Trinidad dis
patch last night says: The coroner
inquiry into the death OF John II. Fo.
Saturday afternoon was held this
morning. All witnesses who knew any
thing about the events leading up to
and connected with the tragedy testi.
fed and the jury promptly returned n
verdict charging Joe johnson with the
crime and finding that the fatal shot
was fired with felonious intent.
Sheriff Davis issued statement last
evening TO the effect that Johnson did
not hold a deputy sheriff's commission.
Sheriff Davis said:
II want to correct two false reports
which. / understand. have been gen
orally circulated. One is that Johnson
had n gun given to him before We
started TO the train. That is utterly
false and I want to say right here that
he would have been handcuffed then II
he had been able to make decent time
running that way. We put the irons
on him as soon us we reached the car
and they didn't come OF.
"The other false report Is that John
son was deputy OF mine. He has
never held n commission from me since
have been In office. I did think OF
sending him after Shoblo. but had |
done so | would have given him his
commission the night before he left.
He would have had to surrender 1t ut
once on his return. as he is not man
care to have among my deputies. The
records OF this Office will show that he
never was deputized since have been
in Office.
What feelings the people have to
ward me. l do not know. / had only
one thing to do and that was my duty.
would have done 1t at all costs.
whether we had been successful In get
ting johnson away or not. I cherish
no iil-feeling toward any one. The
provocation the people Of this city hal
was great. had no business to think
or to feel, only my duty to do. and
what that was to bring me did no.
know. 1 thank God we got johnson
away.
Joe Johnson has wife and four lit
tie children. the Oldest girl of eight
years. They live in pretty little
house on Vine street. Yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Johnson took her children and
went to the ranch below the city. be-
ing unable to endure the curious stares
of neighbors and citizens. to whom
they had become objects Of curiosity
and pity.

RUNS DOWN WOLVES
THE PRESIDENT IN OKLAHOMA
Genuine Western Sport Hunting Coy.
otes with Horses and ooasI
Strenuous Days Work.

Frederick. Okla. April 1.-THE
President and his party began their
hunt yesterday morning after expert
encing a western rainstorm duEing the
light.
The wolf chase to which the Presi
dent has been SO eagerly looking for.
ward began early yesterday mornin !;
at Camp Roosevelt eighteen miles
southeast Of here. There are about
forty dogs In the pack. belonging to
John Alternately. the famous wo:f
catcher. and have been dieted and
looked after the past month as care
fully as a trainer looks after the pugi-
list who Is expected to retain the
championship belt OF the world.
In the chase yesterday the training
o! these dogs was noticeable. The
party of about a dozen. including Pres
ident Roosevelt and his doctor. had
not travelled far this morning until
their dogs were leading them on d
fresh scent. Soon the leaders were re-
warded by seeing a lank grey wolf de-
liDerately Looping as II unmindful OF its
pursuers. The dogs all seemed to
catch sight of the prey at the same
time. The wolf sought to eluGe Its
pursuers by dodging, but this only
hurried matters. as 1t enabled the fore
most dogs to catch up with their prey.
As the wolf turned to beat on its as
sailants other dogs sprang upon the
bristling animal and bore 1t TO the
ground. where 1t was quickly dis
patched without the aid of the hunters.
Two other wolves were killed in much
the same manner before the sun indi-
Gated that 1t was time for the midday
meal.
The President was invariably at the
head OF the procession OF riders. At
one point. seeing some water in buf.
falo wallow. he galloped to the spot
before the dogs reached II and slipped
up the refreshing liquid In good old
fashioned cowboy style. By l o'clock
the members OF the party were again
in their saddles ready for another
chase. But about ten OF the party
were permitted to enter in the after
Moons sport. as IL was found that the
greater number OF hunters the smaller
the amount OF sport.
Horses. riders and dogs seemed to
grow in endurance as the day waned.
and by night the big reservation con-
tained n considerably less number OF
coyotes than when the chase began.

At meeting Of the State Land Board
April 9Th q right Of way was granted
over certain state lands for q reser-
voir and canals that are being con-
structed near Julesburg. The system
is being constructed under the irri-
cation district law Of 1901, with which
ex-senator McCreery of Greeley Is
prominently connected. The right OF
way occupies about thirty acres Of the
state land and was sold at $3.50 an
acre.
Governor Mcdonald has appointed
Mrs. Anna G. Williams to be clerk and
stenographer to the board OF pardons
and the State Board Of Charities and
Correction. She succeeds Mrs. Lucy

State Auditor Bent Is sending out
new set of blanks to the county
treasurers for the collection OF the
Inheritance tax. The Supreme Court
has upheld the tax and the law re-
quiries the county treasurers to collect
1t. The law also requires that they
report to the auditor every six months
and Mr.. Bent proposes that they shall
report whether they collected any tax
during the time or not. Treasurer
Holmberg is to have his license collec-
tors check up the probate courts as
they travel about and in this way It
will be possible to check the treasurers
and fnd II they are doing their duty
In watching the estates. II Is a tax
that the heirs often attempt to evade
and II the state is to realize anything
from II continuous fight will have
to be made. II is believed that the
law is SO framed tnat the state can
not be oeaten by deciding away an
estate Just before death.
