COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS

Warden Cleghorn of the State Peni.
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 1O2 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 a 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.
State Auditor Bent Is sending out
n 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 find If thty Are doing their duty
that the heirs often, attempt to evade
and If the state is 10 realize anything
from 1t continuous fight will have
to be made. 1t is believed that the
law is so framed tnat the state can
not be peaten by deciding away an
estate Just before death.

HER JOURNEY TO MANILA.

ter From Philippines.

The wife of an army officer who re.
Gently went to the Philippines writes
glowing account of the journey, and,
instead of discomforts, which one is
supposed to encounter, seems to have
found the experience altogether novel
and interesting. Honolulu she de.
scribes as wonderfully picturesque
place, with Its cocoanut palms. flower
ing trees and shrubs and hedges Of
night-bloOming cereus. The sea bath.

as any in Washington. In Guam, she
writes. the tropical growth is marvel

which she declares to be mot swif.
means of locomotion. but safe and COOL
for the liver" and adds: 1.-The drive
from the dock is the most beautifui
l have ever seen; following the shore
line is an avenue covered and shaded
by immense cocoanut palms and hc-
yond a tangle of tropical growth. Tho
natives were without garments, save
from their hips down, the women wear

iZe their clothing"
She describes the passage through
the San Bernardino straits, through
reputed to be dangerous one, as
very lightful-mountains as large as
the Alleghenies sloping up from the
waters edge and green to their very
tops. They wound in and out among
the islands day and half. and so
close to land that they could distin-
guish natives on the Shore.
Like most others, she finds life In
Manila very fascinating, but admits
that her first introduction to native
bed was not calculated to make them
lifelong friends. 1t has cane-seat bot
tom, where springs usually set: on
that is spread thin pad and then
straw mat, or one made Of palm leaves,
upon which is laid the usual sheets,
etc. She says the civil government peo-
pie would like to have the entire army
evacuate the islands. but that, in her
opinion, the army will be needed for
some time, and cites in that connection
the fact that the priests take the school
boys from the Luneta before '.The Star
Spangled Banner" is played, which is
done at the close of every concert, and
that the Spanish native element also
leaves.

FOX INQUEST.
Trinidad Jury Fastens Crime Of Muir
der on johnson.

Denver April ll.--A Trinidad dis
patch last night says. The coroner's
inquiry into the death of John II. Fox
Saturday afternoon was held this
morning. All witnesses who knew any
thing about the events leading up to
and connected with the tragedy testi-
fled and the jury promptly returned a
verdict charging Joe johnson with the
crime and finding that the fatal shot
was fired with felonious intent.
Sheriff Davis issued a statement last
evening TO the effect that johnson did
not hold a deputy sheriiI's commission.
Sheriff Davis said:
II want TO correct two false reports
which. | understand. have been gen.
orally circulated. One is that Johnson
had a gun given to him before we
started to the train. That Is utterly
false and | 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 as 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 u commission from me since
have been In office. 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 II ut
once on his return. us 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.

away.
Joe Johnson has n wife and four lit.

years. They live In pretty little
house on Vine street. Yesterday morn.

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

Frederick. Okla, April 1.-THE
President and his party began their
hunt yesterday morning after expert
encing western rainstorm during the
night.
The wolf chase to which the Presi-
dent has been so eagerly looking for
ward began early yesterday morning
at Camp Roosevelt, eighteen miles
southeast OF here. There are about
forty dogs in the pack, belonging to
John Alternately. the famous wolf
catcher. and have been dieted and
looked after the past month as care
fully as trainer looks after the pugi.
list who is expected to retain the
championship belt of the world.
In the chase yesterday the training
of these dogs was noticeable. The
party of about dozen, including Pres
ident Roosevelt and his doctor, had
not Travelled far this morning until
their dogs were leading them on a
fresh scent. Soon the leaders were re-
warded by seeing lank grey wolf de-
liberately 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 elude 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 off Its as
saiants other dogs sprang upon the
bristling animal and bore 1t to the
ground where IL 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 buff
falo wallow. he galloped to the spot
before the dogs reached 1t 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, rs it 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-
tanned a considerably less number OF
coyotes than when the chase began.

Writ Of certiorari-Lawyers for
Estate Expect to Win Another Suit
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 writ of
certiorari in its suit against the execu-
tors of the Stratton estate for $6,000,-
900. This means that the estate has
won n 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 writ of certiorari.
There is still pending in the United
States Circuit Court in Denver a suit
brought by the Venture company
against the estate for S2,O00,000, 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 lnde.
pendence mine by the late w. S. Strat.
ton. The mine was sold to the Ven
ture people and the Stratton's Inde-
pendence, Limited, Company organ
lied. The price was $11 100000. The
sale was negotiated by Werner Y. Reed
of this city, and he is popularly sup
posed to have received commission
of S1,O0O,00O.
When the charge of sailing the mine
was first made 1t created n 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 & Candy. the attorneys for the
Stratton estate in this city. Associated
with them in the defense We're Justice
Luther NJ Goddard cs the State Su-
preIle Court and Y. J.. 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,-
100000 as an alleged partner of STRAIT
ton, is not taken seriously.

merry little jests which the inhabi.
tants love to ring In on the innocent
tenderfoot.
about the first thing they'll run you
up against the California ripe olive.
Ever eat them? You can hardly get
them here because they won't stand
shipment. And they're mighty good.
Most real olive eaters prefer them
to the ordinary green picked olive.
The ripe olives are picked also. you
understand, and come out OF the brine
jet black.
After you have eaten and approved,
they will lead you on by remarking:
Well, II you like them that way
you'll like them better fresh. Just
stroll out to the orchard with me and
Wen have one.
"Then they will lead you out to one
of their long lanes of olive trees. |
pause to remark that you don't know
what olive green and olive brown
mean until you've seen those colors in
that slim, graceful little tree.
There are the fresh olives all right,
hanging among the gray leaves and
looking mighty tempting. You pick
one with the confidence of the easy
mark and bite into 1t.
"Whew! Bitter? | can taste It yet.
It's all the quinine and rhubarb and
wormwood In the world combined In n
nasty. haunting bitterness that hangs
to you until you have eaten two meals.
It is an oily bitterness that gets into
the corners and crannies OF your
mouth and won't be washed out.

plain that the brine takes out the bit.

picked"
