MUST BUY WATER WORKS.
United States Court Decides Against
City Of Aspen,

st. Paul, Minn.-The city OF Aspen,
Colorado. must purchase the water
works of the company which is supply
ing the needs of its citizens, as a re-
suit of decision handed down by
Judge Sanborn in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.
When the city gave a twenty-year
franchise to the Castle Creek Water
Company in 1885. one of the provi-
sions insisted on by the city was that
by giving notice one year before the
expiration of the franchise, the city
could purchase the plant, the value OF
which was to be determined by ap-
praisers appointed by the two parties.
When the time arrived for its deci-
sion the city gave notice of its inten.
tion to buy the plant, but later re-
scinded its action. The water company
sued to have the city compelled to
take the plant OFF its hands, but lost it's
case in the lower courts.
The Court of Appeals, however, de-
cided that the franchise was legal
provisional contract; that the provi-
sions of the contract had been lived up
to when the city made its first deci-
sion and that that decision is binding
and cannot be evaded. The decision
Of the lower court is reversed and the
case remanded to 1t with instructions
to appoint a master in chancery who is
to ascertain the productive worth of
the plant and enforce performance of
the contract.

STANDARD OIL.
IN PHILADELPHIA COURTS
Government Ready to Begin Suits

Convicted Penalty Will Be impris-
onment.
hia.-Philadelphia is to be.
the scene of the first great prosecu-
tions TO be brought by the government
against the Pennsylvania railroad and
the Standard Oil Company. Arrange
mcnts for the prosecution will be COM!
pleted this week In New York at a
conference between Alexander Simp-
son, Jr.. of this city and Charles E.,
Hughes.
The chief question is the advisable.
ity OF individual prosecutions agains.,
A. J. Cassatt. president of the Penn
sylyania. This was plainly Indicated.
to-day by lawyer who has been
intimately associated with Interstate
Commerce Commission hearings
BY both the commissioners and the
special counsel appointed by the at
torney general to follow the testimony
and prepare for the prosecution II is
believed more good can be accom-
.plished by centering prosecution upon
Mr.. Cassatt than by scattering energy
over the prosecutions of the presidents
OF all the railroads concerned, most Of
which are directly or indirectly con-
lIplitu ny tNe feDnSNlNanta.
Although MeSSrs. Simpson and
Hughes were lawyers especially ap-l
pointed to report upon the prosecu-
tions, IL Is understood they have the
consent of the government to associ-
ate with themselves other counsel and
when the first cases are called here,
William A. Glasgow, Jr., who has con-
Quoted the examinations for the Inter
state Commerce Commission, will be
found with them.
District Attorney Thompson has
been advised by the attorney general
TO prepare for the prosecutions. Penn
sylvania railroad lawyers are working
night and day making plans for de-
fense.
The charge to be made by the gov /.
ernment will be conspiracy. The charge
Will carry penalty of Imprisonment.
Mr.. Simpson before leaving Philadel-,
phia. said ne had been in constant.
communication with President Roose-
welt and the attorney general and that
the testimony recently brought out Is
not all the prosecution will have to de-
pend on. Since the hearings have,
closed he has got n large amount of.
valuable information from private
sources.
1t is said on the authority of one who
has been closely connected with the.
investigation of the coal-carrying
roads by the Interstate Commerce,
Commission that the commission in its
report will advocate government own
ership of the anthracite fields. This.
It is declared. will be urged as the only
means of protecting the public from
eXtortion.
The report will directly charge FIVE
railroads with violations nf variOuS
antitrust and interstate laws. 1t will
advocate further legislation which will
completely divorce railroads from any
connection with the bituminous coal.
industry or any other industry along
their lines.

GuNNISON TUNNEL.
Nearly Half Finished and Two OF the
Sections Connected.

Montrose, Colo.-At the Gunnison
tunnel at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
the workmen connected headings Nos.
3 and 4. The distance covered in these
two sections is No. 3, LISP feet. and In
No. A, 3,211 feet. No. was started
from the west portal of the tunnel and
was driven through mud the entire
distance. No. was started from the
shaft that was sunk nearly 5000 feet
from the west portal. This was done
I'm order to give chance to drive the
tunnel In four separate sections.
In driving these two sections. when
the two forces of miners came together
this afternoon. they were but two
inches out of line, which demon
strated the accuracy of the engineers
work. But two sections remain to be
driven, No. 1. from the river portal,
and No. 2.
The total length of the tunnel is now
1868 feet and the record of 323 feet
was made in section No. last month.
The total length of the tunnel when I'm
ishedswill be 10000 feet, and 1t is esti-
mated that 1t will require twenty
months yet to complete it.

tive appeal for the recovery of the
article, claiming it is especially
dear for associations sake. Usu-
ally the children Of the family will
go out with the stranger and assist
in the search. Of course no pin is
found, the schemer will leave his
name and address and offer reward
of 800 or 5000 for the return Of
the diamond. This sets the farmers
to thinking and hunting. Two o,
three days later a tramp will knock
at the door and after asking for a
drink of water and hand-out, will
display pin, bright and shining,
with stone in it that has every ap-
pearance of diamond. He says he
found it little ways down the road
and wants to know what he can gel
for it. The farmer instantly jumps
at the conclusion that it IS the pin
the stylish looking stranger lost and
for which there is standing offer o.
several hundred dollars reward. HI
makes the tramp an offer, and the
latter, being impressed with the evi
dent value Of the artical, says b.
won't take less than $50 for it A
family council is held in the parlor
with the result that the pin ii
bought, the profit of $1,000 NOR
appearing too good to let escape
The tramp is as you may surmise,
confederate of the dude, and SOM
!, even say it is the smooth chap him
!, self. It is hardly necessary to adj
that the pin is a phony, and that tn
, address left by the down cast stran
ger is fictitious.
