who was present and to whom the
boundary line controversy between the
two counties had been appealed for
settlement.
The controverted territory is a quar-
ter of mile wide by four miles long,
contains much valuable mineral bear
ing ground and lies between Brown
mountain and Mineral Point. The dis
pute is over the Identification of Min
eral creek and its junction with the
main branch of the Uncompahgre.
Ouray insists that the stream rising
near the Polar Star mine, close to the
headwaters of the Animas and Henson
creek ccnf1uent of the Gunnison is the
main branch of the Uncompahgre, and
that Mineral creek heads at the town
Of Mineral Point and flows into the
Uncompahgre near the Fred Smith
cabin. San Juan county contends that
the main branch of the Uncompahgre
rises at Lake Como in Poughkeepsie
gulch, and is what Ouray. maintains
is Poughkeepsie creek. San Juan
claims that Mineral creek is the main
branch of the Uncompahgre joining
the Poughkeepsie branch at the mouth
of Poughkeepsie gulch.
Mr.. Jaycox gave both sides until
February 1st to prepare evidence in
the way of affidavits, copies of records,
maps. etc, after which he will make a
decision, and with the county survey
ors will run the line and make perma-
nent monuments. Either side being
dissatisfied within six months may ap-
peal to the courts for a review of his

Lincoln, Mass.-The most disastrous
railroad wreck In this state for many
years occurred at BIS tonight at Ba-
kers bridge station. a mile and half
west of Lincoln, on the main line of

the Marlboro branch. At least fifteen
persons were killed outright, burned to
death or suffocated, and thirty or more
were seriously injured. Many passen-
gers received minor cuts, bruises and
burns.

thick weather, which apparently OBJ

train, which at the time of the disaster
was standing in front of Bakers Bridge
