woman, but that made no difference to
the mob. She was killed, together with
her son, IS years old They cut his body

STATE GROCERIES
Contracts Awarded Today by
Board of Control.
Prices About Same As in Days
Of Charity Board.
LEE TO FURNISH SUGAR
Symns Company Gets Lions
.hare Of Awards.
Weber & Co., of Topeka, Are
Also Favored.

After 48 hours of strenuous work, the
state board Of control finished the let
ting OF grocery contracts for the state
institutions this afternoon.
The general average Of prices viii be
about the same as in June, 1905, when
the state board of charities was in con-
troll. 1t has been claimed by some that
there was a great deal of graft under
the old system. and that the state paid
outrageous prices for things. The prices
secured by the new hoard of control
seem to vindicate completely the old
state board Of charities.
On many items the prices were some
what lower, but on a large number,
they were somewhat higher. The varia-
tion, however, it is now very large, ex-
cept where fluctuations of the market
have occurred as in the case Of sugar
For example, California breakfast
food is cents lower at this letting, on
the cases vanilla and lemon extracts SO
cents lower; prunes a fraction of a cent
higher per pound salmon 323s cents
lower; canned apples 35 cents higher;
evaporated apricots, ~ cents higher;
canned blackberries cents lower; -four
brushes Is cents lower per dozen;
canned cherries cents lower per case;
rice rs cents higher; cheese "a cents
higher; soda crackers 80 cents lower;
pickles, sweet, $1.25 lower and medium,
So cents lower per barrel; syrup 2 cents
highef.
The Symns Grocery company of Atch-
ison seems to have received the biggest
portion of the contracts, not counting
sugar. Lee Of Salina also did we'll, and
Weber Of Topeka secured many good
contracts.
The Chicago concern which submitted
q full list Of bids did not land a single
item. Letts-Spencer of st. Joe secured
q number of good contracts.
n. D. Lee Mercantile company OF
SaIina was awarded the sugar contract
The contract is for the newt six months
and involved supply about 100, ,00O
pounds of graduated sugar. The bids
o fthe Lee company were submitted fol-
each institution separately and are as
follows.

Denver.-In the 100000 damage
suit brought against James H. Pea.
body, Sherman NJ. Bell and Bulkeley
Wells in the United States District
Court by Charles Meyer, president OF
the Western Federation of Miners, for
alleged unlawful Imprisonment and
violence during the mining troubles
two years ago, Judge Riner ruled yes
terday that the defendants had not
taken the proper mode of fighting The
suit in filing a motion for dismissal.
This. he held, could not be granted,
but a demurrer should have been filed
as a counter action to the suit Judge
Riner is temporarily taking the place
of Judge Hallett in the federal court.
while the latter is away. Ten days
was given the defendants to file their
answer
The amended answer of Meyer says
that the Colorado Supreme Court
erred in its former decision in sustain
ing the defendants action and further
states that if the legality of such ac-
tions is upheld by the courts of the
state the life and property of no citi.
zen in Colorado will be inviolate.

Progress of eunnison Tunnel.

Washington-Sinc the failure of
the original contractors on the Gunni-
son tunnel to comply with the require
ments of the government and the re-
lection of the second bids for the

service. Advices from Supervising En-.

DRAINAGE TUNNEL.
Plan for Financing Great Cripple
Creek Project

Colorado Springs. Colo.-The plan
suggested, by the finance committee OF
the Cripple Greek Mine Owners AS
ISOLATION to finance the projected deep
drainage tunnel was unanimously
adopted at a meeting attended by
more than score of representative
operators in this city this afternoon.
Every mining company in Cripple
Creek will BE- asked to contract to pay
two per cent. of It's net mill and smell
ter returns into the tunnel fund. This
assessment will be levied upon all ore
mined through the tunnel. but will
apply only upon production of compa-
nies after July /. 1907.
The contract provides that the sum
of 100000 shall be raised by July !,
1906, work on the tunnel to begin
within sixty days after that amount
shall have been secured. Since July L.
1907, is the time limit within which
the 100000 shall be raised, the tun-
mel will be started by September 1,
1907, at the latest and as much sooner
as the amount named shall be raised.
A company to be known as the Grip
pie Creek Drainage and Tunnel Com
pany will be Incorporated in this state
with a capitalization of $1,0G0,000 di-
vided into 100000 shares of par
value of $40 each. This stock will be
offered to mine owners first, and what
ever shares are left will be placed on
the open market.
A committee of five will be ap-
pointed to submit the contracts to
mine owners and operators at once
and to offer stock for subscription. The
tunnel plan adopted is that known as
the Window Rock" tunnel, which
will have its portal in Window Rock
gulch. in the Cripple Greek district.
The Portland Gold Mining Company,
the Golden Cycle company, and other
East Side mining companies which at
first expressed reluctance to join the
deep drainage proposition are now
friendly to the plan.

the guilty one is discovered there is
talk of lynching him.
There have been differences be-
tween the cattle men and ranchmen
and the poisoning of the cattle is be-
lieyed to be the result of this i'll feel
ing. A few years ago similar trouble
existed between the cattle men and
farms in this section and several
hoi ses were poisoned.
