STRATT0M SUIT ENDS
FULL VICTORY FOR the ESTATE

United States Supreme Court Denies
Writ Of certiorari-lawyers for
estste Expect 70 Win Another Suit
Now Pending.
Colorado Springs, Colo, April IL
The United States Supreme Court at
Washington yesterday denied the ap-
plIcation of the STATIONS Independ-
ence Company, Limited, for a writ OF
oertiOfari In its suit against the execu-
tors Of the 6trattOn estate for $6.000.-
600. This means that the estate has
won a 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 few weeks ago. and the
London company Immediately applied
to the United States Supreme Court
for writ of certiorari.
There is still pending in the United
States Circuit Court In Denver suit
brought by the Venture company
against the estate for $4,000, 900, 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 $11,OO0.O00. The
sale was negotiated by Werner Y. Reed
of this city. and he is popularity sup
posed to have received commission
Of S1.O00,0Q0.
When the charge Of sailing the mine
was first made 1t created profound
Mr.. Stratton never for 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 G. Candy, the attorneys for the
Stratton estate in this city. Associated
with them In the defense were Justice
Luther NJ. Goddard of the State Su-
preme Court and E. E. Whitted of the
firm Of Dimes & Whitted 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 SS,-
000,00 as an alleged partner of STRAIT
ton, Is not taken seriously.

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS.

H. T. Newcomb of the District of
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,71S depositors in
savings banks OF six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442,354,os6 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold sS45,sS9,03s of steam
railroad stocks and bonds end "A edu-
cational institutions depend on s47.r
468,327 invested in similar securities
for portion of their income. Other
fiduciary institutions own enough
railroad securities to bring such hold
ing up to more than billion and
half dollars, about one-siXth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in
surance policies in the country, as
many more of fire insurance policies,
and an even greater number of de-
positors in banking and trust institu-
tions, where investments are largely
in railroad securities.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS

Warden Cieghorn of the State Psni-
tentiary has announced the reappoint-
ment Of A. r. Frisbie as chief clerk.
Edmund Johnston of Denver was ap-
pointed yard master. vice Thomas
Clark of Denver whose term has ex-
pired. There are now In the peniten-
tiary 743 convicts, the largest number
in the history Of the institution. There
has been a net gain Of 102 convicts
during the last two years.
At meeting of the State Land Board
April 9Th a right Of way was granted
over certain state lands for 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
!. Harrington. who has been with the
boards for several years. Mrs. Will
liams is Denver woman and during
the past session of the Legislature was
stenographer to Governor Mcdonald
before he became governor. The Of
fee pays $1,000 a year.
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
it. 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 1t
will be possible to check the treasurers
and find II they are doing their duty
in watching the estates. 1t is a tax
that the heirs often attempt to evade
and If the state is to realize anything
from it continuous fight will have
to be made. 1t is believed that the
law is SO framed tnat the state can
not be beaten by deciding away an
estate just before death.

SUICIDE OF GEORGE WILDER.
Prominent Denver Pioneer PIunges
Into Gulf Of Mexico.

Denver, April 10.-A few days ago
the daily papers noted the mysterious
disappearance of George Wilder, aged
eighty-four years, formerly of the Den
yer firm Of Best & Wilder, wholesale
grocers. but letter was soon received
from him at Galveston, saying that he
had left secretly to avoid expected re-
monstrances of his friends, and that
he was about to sail for Key West,
Florida.
Yesterday the following telegram
was received from Key West:
George Wilder, Denver passenger
on Concha, disappeared at sea night Of
April 5th. Please notify relatives"
After successfully eluding his rela-
tives and friends for twelve days. the
wealthy Denver pioneer took his own
life rather than return to Denver to
be, as he feared, burden and care to
his step-children and friends.
Since Thursday morning this bad
news has been almost hourly expected.
Early that morning William Scott Lee,
the business agent and an old friend OF
Mr.. Wilder, received letter from him.
1t had been written April 4th in Gal
weston, but it had not been mailed un-
til April 5th, q few hours before he
sailed on his last voyage.
Heartrending In its pathos, and pitt
full In the care shown by the aged man
for his relatives, he manifested his
broken spirit, and fear of becoming a
burden to those he loved, In this last
letter.
To his friends he wrote:
fremont House, Galveston, Texas,
April A, 19O5.-Mr. William Scott Lee:
Dear Friend-I presume this will be a
little surprise to you to hear from me
at this point. got here Friday morn
ing, March 31st. have to remain
longer than wanted to In order to get
a steamer, but leave at noon to-mor-
row, April 5th, for Key West, Florida.
Before get half way am going over
board. have got through. am worn
out, and tired out, and thought
would put this old frame where there
would be no inquest, save the sharks" "
Following. were careful instructions
in regard to the care Of property by Mr..
Lee for Wilder's step-daughters.
:. Message were instantly rushed to
Galveston. An attempt was made to
stop the vessel, but it had already
sailed. A tugboat was sent in pur.
suit. Heavy winds delayed 1t and the
Concha could not be sighted.
AS last resort, wireless telegraphy
was used.
From New Orleans, from Key West
and from Galveston desperate efforts
| were made to signal the Concha. For
| some reason not wireless message
was received by the ship.
Following Is the story of his death:
He at first went below and shut HIM
self up. Late in the evening he came
on deck and after looking carefully
around stepped over the rail. A sailor
who was watching him. came running
| down the deck yelling at him to stop
| the old man dropped into the water Of
the gulf.
The night was pitch dark.
