The question of armorles at various
cities was discussed. The state should
own its own armories, but It has never
had the money and is compelled to
spend considerable sums in rent an.
nually. Propositions have come from
three towns in the state to build ar.
mories for the state. which shall In
time become its property. To do that
would involve larger expenditure for
rent than has been customary, and
whether 1t can be done is problem

to Europe with my wife, after which i
am going into the mining business
with my brother Jack, and | shall here
after devote my time to 1t. The prin-
cipal reason for my retiring from the
ring and from the stage is that my wife
objects. That has been the controlling
influence in my reaching this determ-
nation. l have decided to quit fight
ing for all time. The last fight / had
in San Francisco was fairly well pa

with my wife. that ii is not worth
while to go into the ring any more.
The public is tickle. l am well pro-
vided with this worlds goods, and /
am done with it all. Billy Delaney is
also well fixed and he will retire from

GORE CANON SUIT.
Federal Authorities Ask Injunction
Against Moffat Road.

Denver, May THE second move
in the Gore canon controversy on the
part of representatives of the United
tates government was made yeste.
day when bill for an injunciion was
filed in the Federal curt asking that
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
Taiiroad ue restrained from construct
|hp, its line through Gore canon. The
suit is similar to the one instituted
several days ago. which asked that the
right of way of the road be vacated.
This one is a little stronger. 1t de-
mands speedy action to prevent the
road from getting into the canon.
The papers were served on Charles
]. Hughes, counsel for the road. last
night. A hearing in the matter has
been set for next Thursday before
Judge Moses Hallett.
Besides the road the Colorado-Utah
Construction Company is made a de-
fendant and various officials of the
two companies are also included. The
bill is signed by Earl Cranston.. United
States district attorney. and William
II. Moody. attorney general.
1t is alleged that the government en-
gineers had 1t in mind to make a res
ervoir of Gore canon as early as 1901,
long before the Moffat road was organ
lied. The value of the situation as n
reservoir site is set forth and it is al
legged that it is the key to the water
ing of about 100000 acres in Califor-
mia, Arizona, Utah and Colorado, $4,000
acres being in Colorado alone. A mil
lion people could be maintained on the
lands now arid which this reservoir
could irrigate,
The road has three rights of way
surveyed. it is claimed. one going
through Gore canon at an elevation
above the proposed dam. another
around Gore canon and third through
the canon at the level of the river.
1t is claimed that the government
would be glad to have the road built
at the elevation above the dam.

harmful indulgence in coffee but /
felt the necessity for hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking. I
was at a loss for awhile what to do.

pared-by thorough boiling for not

ever since.
