WITHDRAWAL OF LANDS
RESERVATION is MYSTERIOUS.
Than Representation Yet
Unexplained.

Denver, Aug. 9.-The Republican
this morning prints the following spe-
cial from Washington:
Considerable mystery surrounds the
recent segregation of four tracts OF
land on the Uintah Indian reservation,
Utah, which were supposed at the time
to have been withheld from entry with
a view to their irrigation by the federal
government.
Two things are certain, however.
These lands, heretofore enumerated in
these dispatches, are not to be sub
ject to entry by persons who have reg
istered at Provo, Price, Vernal or
Grand Junction, nor will they be sub
ject to entry by any one else under any
other laws. Secondly, the area of
these four tracts of land, instead of be-
ing $4,000 acres as first estimated by
the land office, embrace exactly 200, $50
acres. OF this total 150,0 acres were
withdrawn for reservoir purposes"
and 50,440 acres for agricultural pur.
poses"
At the time these lands were set
apart and withdrawn from the reach
of entrymen who will go upon the Uin-
tab reservation, it was stated by the
reclamation service that these tracts
had been examined by representatives
of the Geological Survey and that the
men making the examination had
asked for the withdrawal of all lands
specified, without assigning reasons. 1t
was then assumed that the government
would formulate project for the 1rri'
cation of all four tracts.
Inquiry to-day, however, disclosed
different state of affairs. The govern
ment has no project on hand and none
in contemplation for the reclamation
of these four tracts. Nor has it any
other plan for their disposal. The lands
stand apart, not subject to entry, but
not held for any specific purpose.
AS near as can be figured out, and
no official speaks of this matter with
entire frankness or candor, the land
office discovered that the law opening
the reservation authorized the Presi
dent to set apart such lands on the res
ervation as might be deemed necessary
for forestry purposes, or for reservoir
or agricultural purposes. This pro
vision of the law was called to the at
tention of the reclamation service, and
by it referred to men who had for five
years been making stream measure
ments and irrigation studies on the
Uintah reservation at the request of
the Indian office. These men, names
unknown. requested that the 100000
acres in question be set apart and not
be thrown open to entry, and this was
done, the action having been approved
by the President.

Royal Gorge National Park.

Denver. Aug. S.-A Republican spe-
cial from Canon City says: In pur-
suance of instructions from Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agricul-
ture, w. ]. Morrill, of the United States
Forest Service has completed an in
spection of the highlands along the top
OF the Royal Gorge to have them set
apart as national park, similar in OBJ
iect and purpose to the Yosemite and
Yellowstone parks.
Mr.. Morrill, made a complete survey
of the territory and will recommend
the dedication of practically all OF
township IS south, range II west of
the sixth principal meridian, as a
public park for the free use for the
people of the United States. The strip
to be reserved begins mile and a
quarter west of Canon City and ex-
tends on both sides Of the Arkansas
river westward nearly to Parkdale.
From north to south the reservation
will extend four and half miles and
will include within its boundaries Ere
mont peak and considerable section
of Eight Mile park.

ATTEMPT AT KIDNAPPING.
Six Men Try to Garry Off Governor
Otero's Son.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 9.-To the re-
lief of everyone in Santa Fe, Deputy
Sheriff Charles Slosson and posse re-
turned yesterday from the Red house
on the Upper Pecos with Miguel A.
Otero, son of Governor Otero. The
conspiracy to kidnap the boy culmi-
mated by six heavily-armed men riding
up to the summer cottage of Mrs. w.
B. Childers, who was alone with the
servants, and demanding the boy, but
fortunately he was with his uncle, Ter
ritorial Game Warden Otero, on fish
ing trip. Mrs. Childers informed the
men that young Otero was not on the
premises, but they searched the out
houses without result and then rode
away.
This was third attempt to capture
the boy, who is strikingly handsome
and the only son Of the governor.
While the identity Of the would-be
kidnappers is not positively. known,
there is little doubt that the leader is
an ex-convict who was recently par
doned by Governor Otero. He was re-
Gently seen talking to other ex-convicts
in a saloon, and was heard to say: "lf
we can only get the boy into the noun
tains the old man will pay princely
ransom for his recovery" While the
, name of Otero was not mentioned,
there is little doubt but that young
Otero and the governor were referred

Killed by Shell Explosion.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. AT IL: 40
yesterday 3.2-inch shell exploded at
the camp of the Eleventh United
States infantry, Colonel Meyer COM
manding, in the Grow Creek forest re-
serve, thirty-five miles west of the
city, killing Private Charles Boggs OF
company G, and fatally injuring Cor
poral Carl Becker of company III. The
following were seriously injured:
Private Harry Survant, company H;
Private Harvey q Robinson, company
G; Private Entrer. company H.
Five others were burned and lacer-
ated, but their names were not re-
ported.
The men of H and G companies
found the shell lying out on the range
that was used last year by the Thir-
teenth field artillery. 1t had been fired
in practice. but failed to explode.
Taking 1t to camp they attempted to
open it. First they hammered it with
stones, then a monkeywrench was
brought into play. Finally Private
Boggs seized the projectile and
slammed it down on a rock between
his legs. A loud report followed and
the air was filled with the arms and
legs of Boggs, flying dirt, rock and
pieces of the shattered steel shell.
When the smoke cleared away no
trace of the shell was to be found,
and bleeding soldiers lay stunned and
unconscious on the ground. The seri-
ously hurt were removed to the field
hospital. where Boggs died in short
time. Becker, Survant and Robinson
were brought 70 Ft. RUSSELL where
Becker was operated on late last
night.
Surgeon Keffer says Becker will die.
Survant, Robinson aad Outer will
probably recover.

WESTERN BANK FAILS
DENVER INSTITUTION ASSIGNS
The Denver Savings Bank Stands UP
Under Two-Days' Run and
Meets All Demands.

Denver, Aug. 10.-The Republican
this morning says : 1t was the eX-
pected that happened yesterday when
the Western Bank, organized under
state law, and having for directors
some of those connected with the Den
yer Saving Bank, did not open its doors
in the morning but posted notice that
an assignee had been chosen. This, as
was very pertinently put by the secre-
tary of tie Denver Clearing House AS
sociation, cleared the financial sky.
The president of the Western Bank
has stated that every depositor will be
paid in full as soon as the securities
can be realized on and authorities in
financial matters state that the bank
will ultimately make good.
Concerning the Denver Savings
Bank, which was made the subject OF
run" on Tuesday, the atmosphere
has been materially cleared and this in
stitution will continue. The excitement
has died and the heads of the bank
have taken the public into their conf
dence, publishing this morning a list
of the stockholders, and have cleared
away several rumors, the result Of
which will be increased confidence and
the disappearance of the line of anxious
depositors. The bank has full sup
ply of funds on hand, has heavy depos-
its in local banks and has not been re-
quired to dispose of any of its securi-
ties or to ask any of the Denver ma
tional banks for aid.
| The Central Savings Bank, which
has large number of depositors, has
| been rendered the backing of the Den
yer Clearing House and of individual
| banks in Denver and elsewhere, in
case of need, but fortunately it is not
disturbed
Everything possible has been done
by the responsible bankers and busi-
ness men of Denver to maintain conf
dence and keep the excitable few from
losing its head, and there is no danger
whatever.
Denver is in splendid financial
shape. For twelve years the city has
been free from booms and eXploita-
tions. It's progress has been normal
and sensible. If anything the values
of Denver property have been kept un-
der rather than expanded and repe-
tition of '93 would be absolutely impos-
sible.
At meeting of depositors of the
Western Bank held last evening at the
Majestic building attended by $50,
called on short notice, the utmost har-
mony prevailed, something wholly un-
usual for such gathering and re-
sponsible committee was named to in
quire into the condition of the bank
and report at an early meeting.
Henry M. Beatty, named as assig-
nee, was praised as an honest, consci-
entious citizen, who would perform his
whole duty and who had the entire con
hdence of the business world and bank
ing houses
