IDENTIFIED AS FRANKLIN.
Alleged Murderer of Bessie Bouton
Turns Up in California.

San Francisco.-William Curtis,
alias, Brush, who robbed and at
tempted to murder w. c. Ellis, an Aus
tralian horseman, in an empty house in
Berkeley Wednesday last, is believed
to be Milton Franklin, alias George
Barnett, alias Milton Franklin An
Andrews, wanted in Colorado for the
murder at Mount Cutler October S,
1904, of Mrs. Bessie Bouton. The local
police have been enabled by Sc
ries of curious circumstances and Pc
culiar characteristics to make the iden-
tiiicatfon almost certain. After the rob-
berry in Berkeley Curtis and his female
accomplice escaped, but they are be-
lieved to be near here, and their early
capture is expected.
In the identification bureau of the po-
lice department there is detailed de-
scription of the Colorado murderer,
who had physical peculiarities that
marked him among men.
Certain body measurements and
marks on Andrews have also been OBJ
served on the Berkeley criminal, and
an excellent photograph of Andrews
furnished by the Colorado authorities
has been positively recognized as that
of the man calling himself irtis or
Brus., who came to this city from Aus
tralia with Ellis, and, with handsome
woman as a confederate, lured Ellis to
2214 Ellsworth street, Berkeley, planned
his murder and dismemberment. and
nearly carried out their diabolical plot.
According to Ellis, whose additional
story has given the police the oppor-
tunity to trace the movements of
Brush and the woman ever since they
left Colorado Springs, Brush made a
confession to him October Sd, when he
spent the night in the house rented by
| the pair in Berkeley. Ellis said that
Andrews told him while Brush and
the woman were in Denver she went
out disguised to procure food. going
about the city without fear of detec-
tion.
In the antipodes Brush lived under
the name of Clayton Hill, which he
told Ellis was his true name. Brush
told Ellis his reason for hiding in Den
yer was to escape the police, who
wanted him in connection with the EN-
',ezzlement of $4,000 from a Denver
-Irm. A young man was arrested for
the theft and Brush stated that he had
secured the money from him in card

Denver.-A Republican special from
Central City says: Surveyor Argo and
assistants of the Moffat road, who have
been located near the head of South
Boulder creek for the last two weeks,
left yesterday for Gore canon to make
other surveys for the same road. They
have been making the final surveys for
the proposed tunnel from the head of
South Boulder creek through the main
range west of James peak into Middle
park.
II is reported that the surveyors
made the final surveys on what is to
be known as the lower proposed tun-
mel. which will make the total distance
through the range about three miles,
and that the Moffat road onic.4ls will
consider the advisability of starting
work at both ends of the tunnel within
the next sixty days.

kansas-coIorado Suit Delayed.

Washington-The United States Su-
preme Court on Monday fixed the first
Tuesday in next October for argument
of the famous Kansas-Colorado suit,
thereby postponing action at least one
year, but Mondays action makes this
case first to be taken up at the next
term of court. giving it right of way
over other business.
Meanwhile Kansas is required to file
it's briefs within the next three months.
Colorado is given six months from
date, and the United States. which
acts as intervenor. has nine months in
which to submit its briefs. The date
fxed by the court is believed to be sat
isfectory to the attorneys of Colorado,
who were confident nothing would be
accomplished by immediate action.
They will be able, within six months
to complete and file their briefs and
will at that have three months advan-
tage of the attorneys for Kansas.

GREAT ENGLISH ACTOR FOR
sAkEs THE STAGE OF LIFE.
LAST CURTAINS RUNG DOWN
Appears on the Stage in Full Health
and vigor.-Goes to His Hotel and
sueoumbs to an Attack of syncope.
Expires Without Word.

London - The English speaking
world has suffered an irreparable loss
by the sudden death tonight of Sir
Henry Irving, who was universally re-
garded as the most representative Eng
lish actor of contemporary times
Sir Henry died literally in harness.
He was giving a series OF farewell per-
formances in the English provinces
and this week was playing an engage
ment at Bradford, appearing in several
favorite roles. Thursday he presented
King Rene's Daughter" and The
Bells' and seemed to be in excellent
health, taking the exhausting part OF
Matthias in the latter play with all the
wgor OF youth.
Tonight before an enthusiastic audi
ence he portrayed one of his most char
acteristically intellectual parts, the
title role in his own stage adaptation
of Lord Tennyson's "Becket," with
marked success.
After the performance Sir Henry re-
turned to the hotel reaching his rooms
at 11:30 O'Clock, when it was observed
that he was in great pain.

Mr.. Stoker:

To the last moment of his life Sir
Henry Irving's heart was in the work

Wednesday he was entertained at

Miss Roosevelt VIII Pay Duties.

hington.-Secretary Shaw and the
collector of customs of San Francisco
have been worrying for several weeks
on account of the presents which Miss
Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the Presi-
dent, has received during her trip to
the Philippines, China. Japan and
Corea, the value of which has been
estimated by some newspapers as high
as 100000. The secretary finally took
his burden to the President and told
him about it. There is only one thing
to do" replied Mr.. Roosevelt. THAT is

would the baggage of any other private
person. She will pay duty on every

Colorado Feed Lots.

The fall movement of sheep and
lambs to the feed lots has commenced
and the Indications are that the Colo
RADIO feed lots will be better supplied
than they were last season, says the
Denver Record-Stockman. Last win
ter about million head were fattened.
This season it Is estimated that there
will be 100000 head in northern Colo
RADIO alone Ia addition there will be
about 250,000 head in the San Luis
valley. and about 100000 in the Ar
kansas valley Eastern feed lots will
not be so well supplied as usuel. be-
cause the Colorado buyers were first in
the field and secured the bulk of the
sheep and lambs. Prices paid on the
range have been much higher than
usual, that the feeders do not look for
anything like the profit they had last
winter and in many instances the feed
ing operations are conducted for the
principal purpose of disposing of the
crops, and feeders will be satisfied
with fair price for their hay and
grain. 1t is estimated that 1t will take
market price of $500 per hundred
pounds to let the feeders out even.
With wool as high as it Is, it is gener-
ally believed that there will be no diff
ficulty In securing cents per pound
for choice lambs in the spring.
The cattle-feeding proposition is also
attracting more attention than usual
all over the state. There will be quite
a number of cattle fed in the western
part of the state, and operations in
northern Colorado and the Arkansas
valley will also be heavier than usual.
The announcement of the coming of
the big packers to this market will
have the effect of booming this end of
the business, as one of the drawbacks
heretofore has been the long distance
shipping and consequent heavy shrink
age. Hereafter Denver will provide
market for all stock fed in the West.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Oct. 16.
The cattle market shows some i'm
provement over a week ago, although
the appreciation has not been very ma
terial. Eastern markets are quoted
mostly steady to strong with instances
of 10-cent advance. The local mar
lset has had good run all week and
prices fully steady to a little stronger
on the good kinds and barely steady
on the inferior stuff. Few beef steers
were included in the supply and pack
ers were unable to get as many of the
light weight kind as they wanted. They
got a few odds and ends at strong
prices bat are still very much in need
of good steers. Cows have been plen-
tiful but the supply of choice ones linn
tied. Best COWS offered sold at $2.70.
with a very good grade at s2.40 to
$2.65 ano medium kinds at $500 to
$2.35. A good many of the COWS Of
fered were common and sales below
$500 were numerous. Bulls were in
good demand and strong with 1920
representing top for the week. Veals
were also strong. the bulk going at
$3.25 to $500. A good, active trade
was had in feeders and stockors. Of
ferings were liberal, but still not
large enough for the demand and a
good many more good steers could
have been disposed of to good advan-
tage. Best steers sold at 3.65 freight
paid and s3.55 fiat, with the bulk at
$3.10 to $345 and common stuff from
$500 down. Buyers were on the yards
in good numbers every day. and as
dealers also had plenty of orders
there was good competition for every
thing desirable and very few cattle
were forwarded in first hands. Prices
have been rather better here than at
river points.
Hog market active to extent of the
supply, but receipts light last week.
Very little material change in quota

Sheep receipts were over $4,000

20 cents higher than a week ago.
