FORT COLLINS TRAGEDY.
Robert Miller Resists Arrest and is
Shot by City Marshal.

Denver. May IA News special
+. from Fort Collins last night says:
Robert Miller. proprietor of the City
Bottling Works. while resisting arrest
was shot and instantly killed this aft
ernoon by City Marshal William M
Richart.
Mr.. Richart was given two warrants
this afternoon against Miller. one a
charge of selling liquor and the other
keeping disorderly house. Mr.. Rich
art asked Deputy Sheriff Whitaker
and Mike Meredith to accompany him
and assist in case of trouble. The
three entered the bottling works. on
North College avenue. shortly after 4
O'Clock. Richart stated his business
and inquired for Miller. Miller was in
a rear room. and came to meet the
marshal. The warrant for selling
liquor was read to him and accepted.
Miller then announced his intention OF
going with the marshal and securing
bail.
Mr.. Richart, however pulled a sec
ond warrant oue of his pocket, and told
Miller that he had another warrant
charging him with keeping disor;
derly house. and that 1t was his duty
to search the place for liquor. Miller
refused to allow the search to proceed,
ana SIa1tu lHdt WHllt WlIihS " bC oi
rested on the charge of selling liquor.
that his establishment should not be
searched.
Marshal Richart then started behind
the counter for the purpose OF secur
ing bottles supposed to contain certain
liquor, and was struck in the face by
Miller with his fist Richart drew his
revolver and said: Now, Mr.. Miller.
| am here as an officer, and as such 1t
is my duty to search this house, and
| will do so, but you must stop this
funny business as | want no trouble.
Miller, who while an aged man. was
remarkably quick. seized beer bottle
and struck Richart across the brow, in
fiicting a deep cash three inches long.
He struck at him a second time. and
missed as Richart staggered back
Miller reached under the counter and
the marshal. fearing that he was after
a gun. pulled the trigger, the bullet
penetrating the heart.
Will Richart was recently elected
CITY marshal in a remarkably hot cam
paign between the license and anti
license parties. He ran Independent OF
either party, and was elected by vote
of three to one. He has for several
wears been deputy sherif. and is re-
earded as one of the best officers the
county ever had. No one regrets the
shooting more than he.
Robert Miller came to Fort Collins
about twenty-five years ago, and has
for twenty years been in the bottling
business. He made no secret of sell
ing liquor. and was fined several times
for the offense in the District Court.
About eight years ago he was con
victed of selling liquor and fined
81 200 by Judge Bouton. and the fine
was suspended during good behavior
Fourteen indictments were recently
given against Miller. and the warrant
issued to-day leading to his arrest and
death was the result.

WEATHER FORECASTS
LONG RANGE PREDICTIONS IDLE
No Legitimate Basis for Estimates
Based on the Moons Phases or
Position of the Planets.

The chief of the Weather Bureau
has recently placed before the public
pamphlet entitled Long Range
Weather Forecasts. by Prof. E. B. Gar
riott, that is full of interesting things
to one who is a seeker after the truth
regarding these delusions. A great
many things in 1t are worthy of fur
ther publication but We wish, at this
time. simply to give its conclusions:
l. That systems of long range
weather forecasting that depend upon
planetary meteorology; moon phases,
cycles, positions, or movements: stel-
lar influences. or star divinations; in
dications afforded by observations of
animals. birds, and plants. and esti-
mates based upon days, months. sea-
sons, and years have no legitimate ba-
sis.
2. That meteorologists have made
exhaustive examinations AID compari-
sons for the purpose of associatins
the weather with the various phases
and positions of the moon in an earn
est endeavor to make advances in the
science along the line of practical
forecasting, and have found that while
the moon, and perhaps the planets.
exert some influence upon atmos.
pheric tides. the influence is too slight
and obscure to justify consideration
of lunar and planetary effects in tho
actual work of weather forecasting.
g. That the stars have no apprecia-
BILE influence upon the weather.
4. That animals, birds. and plants
show by their condition the character
of past weather. and by their actions
the influence of present weather and
the character of weather changes that
may occur within few hours.
5. That the weather of days.
months. seasons, and years affords no
Indications OF future weather further
than showing present abnormal condi-
tions that the future may adjust
6. That six and scven-day weather
periods are too ill-defined and irregn-
ar to be applicable to the actual work
Of forecasting.
Z. That advances in the period and
accuracy of weather forecasts depend
upon a more exact study and under
standing of atmospheric pressure over
great areas and determination OF the
Influences. probably solar. that are re
sponsible for normal and abnormal
distributions of atmospheric pressure
over the earth's surface.
s. That meteorologists are not an
tagonistic to honest. well directed ef-
forts to solve the problem of long
range forecasting; that. on the con
trary, they encourage all work in this
field and condemn only those who Tor
notoriety or profit or through misdi-
rected zeal and unwarranted assunip-
tions, bring the science of meteorology
into disrepute.
8. That meteorologists appreciate
the Importance to the world at large
of advances in the period of forecast
ing and are inclined to believe that
the twentieth century will mark the
beginning of another period in meteor
illogical science.

Were Good for Both.

Paulding, Miss. May 15th.-tSpe
ciaD-In this neighborhood men and
women alike are telling of the great
benefit they have received from the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills and it fire.
quently happens they are the means
of curing members of both sexes in
the same family. Take the case of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Erby. The latter
voices the sentiment of both when
she says:
MY lips cannot express too much
praise for Dodd's Kidney pills | suf-
fered with Backache and Female
weakness for four or five years and l
feel that | have been wonderfully
helped by Dodd's Kidney Pills. My
husband. too. was sufferer for FIVE
years from a weak bladder and they
also cured him"
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure
blood and good health all over the
body. No woman with healthy kid
neys ever had female weakness.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought
under the Jurisdiction of the Inter

statement that lines are paid mileage,
without discrimination, and the ques-

govern their rates. Car mileage pay
