Judge Carpenter Exonerated.

Denver, Dec. 3O.-The case of Judge
Carpenter was brought before the Su-
preme Court yesterday. The judge
gave eight reasons why he assumed
Jurisdiction in the mandamus proceed
ing contrary to the order of the higher
courts. He held that under ordinary
conditions Ward and Beshoar were en-
titled to the relief asked for, and that
the State Canvassing Board should be
mandamused to count certain votes.
At the same time that he issued the
writs, Judge Carpenter held that he did
not know that the Supreme Court had
ruled that mo District Court or Judge
had any power to issue such writs."
Chief Justice Gabbert said that the
answer from Judge Carpenter was
what the court had expected, that he
had acted in good faith and was un-
aware of the action OF the Supreme
Court when he signed the writs. This
being the case, the matter would be
dropped on the understanding that
Judge Carpenter dismissed the pro-
ceedings in the lower court. This was
done later.

Port Must Soon Fall.

Toxic, Dec. 31.-The Navy Depart.
ment published last night a letter writ
ten by a man on board the battleship
Sevastopol, which had fallen into the
hands of the japanese. The writer de-
spairs of the relief of the fortress, and
tells of the destruction wrought by Jap
anese shells.
He says the Russians are resigned TO
their fate and are determined to fight
to a finish rather than suffer the shame
of surrender owing to starvation. Fol
lowing is the text of the letter:
"The fortress cannot resist after De-
cember. The progress of the enemy in
reducing our principal line of outer
defenses is not fully known, but 1t is
Irresistible.
1--WE the sadly disappointed over the
non-arrival of the second Pacific
squadron and are daily nearing .our
miserable end.
General Stoessel's so.called impreg-
nable line of outer defenses is now q
myth. With 203-Metre hill lost, the fall
of Port Arthur cannot be avoided. Its
capture by the Japanese means the fall
of the town, however strong the other
defenses
THE new town is at the mercy of
the enemy's fire. The old town alone
Is defendable, and here alone may re-
sistance be prolonged.
"Two-thirds of the defenders of 203
Metre hill were lost.
THE Sevastopol, which was exposed
to the enemy's fire in the day time, on
the night of December Sth, without be-
ing towed, left the harbor with only
Ill, instead of her complement OF G60
souls. When she went out she had her
nets down, but was struck twice by
the enemy's torpedoes and was
beached. irreparably damaged. Gen
eral Stoessel highly praised the Off
GERS and crew of the ship.
Fuel is almost unobtainable and 1t
is impossible to keep our bodies warm.
I'VE no longer have a wireless tele-
graph system and have no means of
communicating with the outside world.
Our isolation is complete. There is no
news and we had no information for
a long time

Colorado Dairy Products.

Colorado creameries have paid out
81 900 900 for dairy products the past
year.
They have made Is 900 900 pounds of
butter.
They have bought the milk from
$50, 900 cows.
They have distributed cash among
30, 900 dairy farmers.
They have shipped 100000 pounds
of butter out of the state.
The Iittleton creamery, on lower
Nineteenth street. in Denver. alone has
paid out 81 900, 600 to dairy farmers Tor
their products in the year just closed.
The Littleton has made 5,OOO.OOO
mounds of butter and has shipped q
oOO. 900 pounds of it to New York, San
Francisco and Seattle.
1t has taken 100000 gallons of
milk to make this butter and 10000
COWS have been MIXED morning and
evening every day of the year to tui :
nish the milk and 10000 people on
farms have been handling the milk.
The creamery has fifteen special cars
which 1t sends out on fast passenger
trains to gather up the cream and
bring it to Denver, and the railroads
get 5000 day for freight charges.
IT is claimed that for the first time
in the history of the state the amount
of dairy products were this year equal
to the home consumption. This does
not mean that products were not
shipped in from other states, but it
means that the exchange was equal.
and soon Colorado will begin to have
balance of trade to her credit in her
commerce with the outside world in
these lines instead Of having to be sup
piled.

A FAIR CANVASS
PROMISED BY STATE BOARD
Statement Issued by Colorado Canvass
ing soard-Wili Be Guided Solely
nv the Law

Denver, Dec. 31.-The members of
the State Board of Canvassers, with
the exception of Governor Peabody.
yesterday issued a statement explain
ing their position in the gubernatorial
controversy and election contests that
they have dealt with. Governor Pea
body, being a contestant, did not at
tach his name to the statement:
The statement:
Denver, Colo, Dec. 80, 1904.
"The attitude of the State Board of
Canvassers, of which we are members.
as to the gubernatorial controversy.
having been misrepresented and our
motives questioned, we feel that 1t is
just and proper that the public should
be advised as to our real position.
"Our duties have been defined by the
courts of the state. and in the perform
ance of such duties we have been
guided solely by the law. The action
of the State Board of canvassers was
taken without reference to any bearing
it might have on the gubernatorial
contest. The majority of the joint ses-
sion of the Senate and the House of
Representatives would have been over
whelmingly Republican, regardless of
our action.
1--WE favor the action taken by the
Supreme Court to-day and urge tnat
it's finings and order be accepted as
final by the Legislature.
I'VE desire to say that there Is no
conspiracy on the part of this board,
or any of its members, to overthrow
the will of the people, or attempt to do
so, but on the contrary, we hold and
advise whoever the recount of the bal
lots, under such rules as the Supreme
Court may prescribe, in the city and
county of Denver, shows TO be elected,
is entitled to the office of governor.
and we believe that all good citizens
will acquiesce in the result.
"Whoever may be seated as gov
ernor. we desire that the result be ac-
complished by honest methods and
that the will of the people be supreme.

New Sugar Factories.

BY the opening of the next sugar
campaign in the fall of this year, two
more Colorado factories will be ready
to begin slicing beets. The American
Sugar Beet Company. which, built the
plant at Sugar City, and is owned by
the Oxnards, has already begun the
construction of a plant at Lamar.
Machinery for the Lamar factory is
to be brought from an abandoned
plant at Norfolk, Nebraska, which the
Oxnards own. They find that Colo
RADIO is much superior to Nebraska for
growing sugar beets.
Lamar farmers for several years
have been raising beets which they
have shipped to the Rocky Ford fac
tory. with the building of this new
factory the Rocky Ford plant will be
relieved of a part of its burden and
the farmers OF that section will be
able to plant and dispose of larger
acreage at home. The Lamar farm
ers have contracted with the com
pany to grow 1000 acres for the next
FIVE years. They marketed some 30
900 tons of beets at Rocky Ford the
past year
The Morey.Boettcher syndicate of
Colorado capitalists, who already CON
troll six sugar factories in the northern
section of the state. are to build fac
tory at Sterling. They have already
filed articles of incorporation with the
secretary of state, and II IS promised
that the plant shall be in operation by
next October.
The company is to be known as the
Sterling Sugar Company, and is capi-
talized for $750,000. The plant will
have a capacity of not less than 900
tons. The directors are C. s. Morey.

will cost him his life. He had driven
to the hills in the afternoon, in COM

He had left his comrades and driven
to the top of a hill near a slough to
look for game. The team became
ervou and, in making a short turn,
the carriage was cramped in such a
manner as to discharge a double.bar-
relied, hammer shotgun. The load en-
tered the left arm, just below the
shoulder, and completely shattered
the bone. He was brought to town
and placed under the care of DR.. A.
L. Doe, but vas so weak from loss of
blood that the only means of saving
his life, which was am%putation, could
not be accomplished. He is still alive
and conscious, but growing weaker
rapidly. Maiyou is about forty years
of age and unmarried.
