FIRE Al WALDEN BRINGS SEVERE
LOSS TO JEROME DECKER,
THE WALDEN-lARA-
ME FREIGHTER.
Fire Started From Some Unknown
Cause Shortly Before Noon and
Fierce Wind Makes Fighting Diff
ficuIt Task-loss Includes Large
Amount of Harness and Hundreds
of Pounds of Hay and Feed.
Special to The Republican.


Walden, Colo, June 15.-The w. o.
Mosman stables in the edge of this
place were burned to the ground
shortly before noon today from some
unknown cause, and with them eight
cen head of horses, twelve of the ami
mails belonging to Jerome Decker, the
freighter between this place and Lar
annie.
How the fire started is not known,
but some believe that children play
ing about the stables during the fore.
noon might have started the fire. The
Walden fire department responded
promptly, but were hampered, not hav-
ing hose enough to reach the fire, and
were unable to render much assist
ance. The fire was confined to the one
group of buildings and the horses. Mr..
Decker lost, besides the horses, a large
amount of harness, hay and grain,
much of the grain having been hauled
from the railroad. He has several ten
horse and ~twelve-horse teams, and a
large amount of extra harness, besides
the rigging for the eighteen horses con-
sumed.
The alarm took almost every man
in the city to the scene, but the fire
had gained such.headway that it was
impossible to do much in the way Of
salvage. A heavy wind was blowing
at the tine and the intlammable nature
of the buildings and the large amount
of hay made a very fierce fire while it
lasted. The screams of the horses
were heard all around and were pitiful
in the extreme. The bodies of some of
the animals were almost consumed in
the heat of the fire.
Four of the horses burned belonged
to H. II. King of Laramie, who lost
considerable harness. Two horses be
longing to Samuel Decker, the father
of Jerome, were also burned. There
was no insurance on n of the prop
erty burned.

Decisive Battle at Hand.

London, June 15.-Corean dispatches
today state that the movements of the
Japanese army against Linevitch in
dictate that the decisive battle of the
wal is at hand. Linevitch is in an al
most helpless position, and as his
forces are inferior to those of Japan,
the Russians are disheartened. Add
ed to this, the rainy season has begun.
There was a continuous downpour all
last night. The Japanese army is pre-
pared for this, but the Russian forces
are not.

AMERICAN CAPITAL AS THE
SCENE OF PEACE NEG
CITATIONS.
Announced Today and Cabled to the
Interested Nations Of Europe,
France Expressing Satisfaction at
SeIection-Action of German EN-
peror May Precipitate One of the
Gravest Crisis of Modern Times.

Washington, D. c., June 15.-The Sc
lection by the president today of this
city as the meeting place Of the peace
plenipotentiaries is highly satisfactory
to the diplomatic corps and believed to
be the best selection possible. Russia
will be given a cordial reception and an
effort will be made to induce Japan to
be ~magnanimous. Both countries hay
ing agreed to Washington, having re
Quested it, in fact. will make the flu
ture proceedings comparatively easy.
The president, it is known, has coun-
cillcd moderation on the part of ia
pan. He has shown that to demand a
billion indemnity would not only great
ly embarrass Russia, but disturb the
finances of the western world, h
emperor of Japan is quite ready to
listen to reason. and there are other
things he wants more than money.

National Grange Proceedings.

At the meeting of the national
grange at Atlantic City, ~ j., FRIDAY.
Nov. H. resolution was presented
asking the states to exercise strlcter
care and control of both fire and me
insurance. The report of the executive
committee dwelt on illegitimate prom.
which. it declared. had become so lot \
midable that government action must
be taken to curb its growth. A move,
ment to throw the entire ORGANIZED
farming interests of the country to the
support of President Roosevelt, in ms
efforts for an adjustment of railroad
tariffs was begun in three resolutions,
all introduced with the idea of unity
ing the agricultural strength. They
urged the national control of freight
rates: advocated the extension OF the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission and moved for the fedora
ton of all farmers organizations IN
their fight for corrective legislation.
The convention voted the founder OF
the grange, o. Fl. Kelly of Washington,
who was present, a pension OF Sl,Zoo
a year for the balance of his life, The
grange Tuesday, Nov. II, went on
record in favor of temperance and the
curtailing of saloons declaring That
they should be abridged until they are
abolished" The grange strongly con-
demned all influences brought to win
legislation by lobbyists or others and
deplored the use of money in cam
paigns. Among other resolutions
adopted was one strongly urging con-
gress to enact a law to prohibit the
making of cigarette papers as well as
cigarettes. The grangers endorsed the
establishment of county high schoois
by a combination of district schools
