Loco Weed Not a Myth.

Maurice ]. Bywater writes to the
Denver Republican as follows: "On
Sunday morning last, the Republican
had an editorial about the Loco Myth
I Want to tell you from my own per.
sonal investigation that unfortunately
it is no myth, but stern and ex-
tremely costly reality.
1.-THE loco is poisonous weed that
acts upon cattle exactly as opium dees
upon humanity. 1t shows its effects
upon the horse or COW after 1t has been
used for ten days. The eyes assume a
CLASSY look, the head droops lower,
never to be raised again naturally
only in stertor. The poison seems to
take effect In the nerves Of the animal.
When horse has been using the
weed for some time, he becomes so
nervous that he jumps off the ground
At the slightest sound. The nerves Of
the eyes seem to become affected SO
that horse will jump two feet high
and three or four feet in distance in
order 20 get over halter rope. Calves
are affected from the milk of the COW.
They present all the features of loco
poisoning from the moment of birth
before they have eaten anything.
These, facts are we'll known to all the
stockmen who live in a great area ex-
tending from Arlington to River Bend
and from Burlington to Chivington, em-
bracing Kit Carson, Cheyenne, Kiowa
and Elbert counties. The weed grows
most abundantly in the region # Hugo

CRIPPLE CREEK MURDER.
Woman Kills Alleged Paramour o
Her Husband.

Cripple Creek. Colo, April 14.-Mrs.
Helen C. Douglas was shot and almost
instantly killed in room 307 of the Ma.
tional hotel at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning by Mrs. s. w. Vidler Mrs.
her husband and seeing him in the
room when the door was opened by
Mrs. Douglas, she became enraged.
raised the revolver, and fired at the
woman, whom she had accused yester
day of alternating her husbands affec-
tions. The bullet entered the victims
left breast and caused almost instant
death. Vidler had taken refuge in the
closet His wife became hysterical
after firing the shot, and he came out
and took the weapon away from her.
|Vidler, who has been engaged in
mining and newspaper work in the dis
trict about eight years. engaged quar-
ters at the hotel several weeks ago
after disagreement with Ms wife
which led to their separations: It is
claimed by Mrs. Wider that she went
to the hotel this morning for-tSs sole
purpose Of consulting with her hus-
band regarding their thirteen-year-old
son. Walter. who had been punished
several times lately by his teacher.
She thought that he received more
punishment than he deserved and
wanted her husband to see the school
authorities regarding the matter.
Mrs. Wider went direct to the room
which she knew her husband had en-
gagged at the hotel. Failing to find him
there, and having seen him in com.
pany with Mrs Douglas yesterday, she
inquired the number of the latter's
room and went there. Her feelings
overcame her when she saw her hus.
band and the woman together, and the
tragedy followed.
Mrs. Vidler was arrested and admit
ted to bail in the sum Of $4,000.
A coroner's inquest was held, the
Jury returning the following verdict:
I'VE find that the said Mrs. Douglas
came to her death from gunshot
wound inflicted by Mrs. Sam Wider at
the National hotel on April 18th; that
the said shot was fred by Mrs. Sam
Wider while in state of great mental
excitement and the said jurors are un-
able to state whether said killing was
feloniously done"

THE LIEUT.. GOVERNOR
WHO Is HE TO be IN coLoRAoos
Promise Of . Contest Between Sen1-

ORsutOHs
, Denver. April 14th.-The Republican
this morning says: Who is lieutenant
governor Of the great state Of Colo
rado! II took some months to reach q
decision respecting who should hold
the high once Of governor. but 1t will
not take 30 long to reach q finding on
the other point and the sensational
features will be absent. Senator Ar
thur Cornforth OF Ell Paso and Senator
Fred w. Parks Of Denver are the
claimants to the once vacated by the
present governor and the odds favor
the later.
! Senator Cornforth arrived in Denver
yesterday to be ready to jump into the
shoes OF Governor Mcdonald should 1t
be decided to cross the border line to
greet and give good hunting all" to
the President of the United States.
l. Senator Parks, who was elected
presiding ofiicer Of the Senate by that
body in its closing hours. believes that
he is lieutenant governor and has been
advised by able counsel to this effect.
The issue will be taken into the Su-
preme Court at once. Some acts OF
Senator Cornforth to-day may be used
as q test-a friendly test. as 1t were.
At the opening Of the Senate Senator
Cornforth was elected president pro
tenn of the Senate. When Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald was exalted to the
chief once Senator Cornforth laid
claim to the ONCE of president pro TEN.
OF the Senate and acting lieutenant
governor. Attorney General Miller
was asked for an opinion and he gave
one and entered into the legal ques-
tiOns at considerable length. Attorneys
are at work preparing for a test on be-
half of Senator Parks. The principal
point raised Is that Senator Cornforth
could not hold the two Offices of presi-
dent pro tenn. and of lieutenant COVER
nor at one and the same time. II he
served as lieutenant governor he could
not continue to serve as president pro
tenn. Of the Senate, and there is ques-
tion whether he could draw the pay of
a senator and the emoluments attached
to the Office OF lieutenant governor.
When the Senate elected Senator
Parks its president, to serve in the in
terim. this act clothed him with the
ONCE OF lieutenant governor. This ar
gument is taken by his attorneys, some
OF whom occupy exalted positions at
the bar.
Senator Parks has been out OF the
city but will return to-day. He will
prosecute the suit without any delays.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Committee ON Taxes Report. New
Ordinance for Cemetery.

The city council at their regular
meeting last night considered numer-
Gus Questions OF importance to prop
erty owners and citizens, the princi-
pie one one Of which was the report
Of the committee appointed to exam
Inc the tax rolls as to erroneous
assessments or clerical errors Of any
kind which may have occurred In the
assessment or otherwise. The COM
mittee reported number Of errors
and recommended their correction,
but in no case did they go back Of the
board of equalization or recommend
changes where the taxation was regu-
lar, although In some instances they
may have deemed the tax little high
The report OF the committee was
adopted.
Numerous bills we're read and re-
ferred to proper committees for in
yestigation.
An ordinance pertaining to the reg
ulation and care Of the city cemetery
was read. The ordinance is good
one and If passed, with possibly some
additional sections suggested, and is
strictly enforced, it will greatly inn
prove the appearance Of the cemetery.
The council has not yet given name
for the cemetery and that part was
passed over until the read at their
next meeting.
If anyone can suggest an appropri-
ate name for the cemetery the coun-
Gil might adopt in the new law, other
wise they will name it the Vinita
cemetery.
There we're other matters Of less
Importance brought up for discussion
aside from the regular business, but
were of a general and unimportant
nature.
In all it was very business like
session.

SETTLERS LEE IN AFRIcA.
It Is Full Of Difficulties and Con-
stantly in Danger from
Wild Animals.

During ceveral years spentin Central
Africa we we're for the greater part OF the
time dependent on goats for our fresh
milk supply" writes a returned traveller,
''The goat kraal was made very strong,
proof against lions, leopards and other
carniyora, but a python entered be-
tween the poles--though they were
spaced three inches apart--one night,
killed all the goats in the compartment
by strangling them, swallowed two and
was found gorged, sluggish and self
trapped within the kraal in the morning.
The swellings Of his body where the two
goats were prevented him from escap-
Ing between the palings, as he had come
In. TO look at the snakes small head
and slender neck ii seemed impossible
for him to swallow anything larger than
n rat, but by dislocating his jaw and
stretching his skin he accomplished the
apparently impossible feat Of gastrono-
my. The goats were cut out OF him In
tact by our boys who evidently consid-
cred that premature burial In the python
did not affect the edible quality OF the
meat, as within half an hour 1t was all
roasted and eaten!
Another pest about station Is the
hyena. Lions and leopards do lot OF
damage bat their skins, II they are shot
or trapped, are some compensation fo-
the loss they cause. The average set
tier. be he farmer, trader or official,
rather welcomes their presence near his
samp for the sake of the excitement which
they afford, and very few men would hes
tate to sacrifice bullock or several
head Of goats or sheep for the sake OF
bagging lion. But the skin OF the hyena
Is worthless and there is no credit what
ever in shooting him, as he is an arrant
coward. He makes the night hideous
with his howls and in the dark he isyery
daring and will enter compounds and
huts and carry off almost anything
Nothing is too old or tough for him.
horns, skins, old boots, anything, Is
grist to his mill
"He is death to sleeping dogs. no mat
ter how big or strong they are, and he
has keener scent and more powerful
Jaws than any other Of the carniyora.
We used to set traps for hyenas round
the station--a skull or piece OF rotten
meat tied to the muzzle of gun, the trig-
ger being fixed to pin in the ground.
The setting of one or two OF these traps
gives one something to do, and there is
pleasurable feeling of expectation
waiting for the bang of the gun after
dinner. Sometimes leopard comes to
the trap, but oftener miserable native
eur from the nearest village"
