GOING UP

It is seldom you hear of Real Es- tate going down in our city. The natural tendency is for it to go up in price And the values are by no means 'inhated' at that. Rents are increasing, property is getting more and more valuable day by day. If contemplating buying do so now, be- fore values rise still higher We also buy and exchange Real Estate of all kinds and can sell any you have at good profit to you.
 We can insure youi property against loss and damage by fire, windst orms, loss of rents, and other accidents, in the strongest. oldest and best "Old Line Companies"

In them days bunt meant that YOU lost
five dollars of your salary on the spot, and
maybe more when the manager got YOU IN the
quiet and seclusion of his office. If YOU said
YOU meant to bunt YOU got fined for dIsobeyIng

didn't mean to bunt, but Your loot shipped or
something, YOU got fined anyway tor beng

that would put It to Arizona or Colorado n q

in them cases, so everybody flung all attempts

And then talkin' started Jest like now
The league directors decided that there was too
much battin' in the games; that battin' had
developed too fast for the pitchin', which was
true. The pitchers were about as ornery a lot
o discouraged lookin' NUTS as YOU could
find. So they decided to give them a chance.
~ handicap was the first plan offered The
poorest pitchers in the league were to be al
lowed TO pitch from the slab thirty feet from
the home plate and then according 10 their
records they were 10 be graded back a couple
o feet for each per cent. When they had II all
carefully figured out they found that one o. my
men, bein' the premier pitcher. would have -

center fielder an would have 10 throw over the
second baseman's head II he stood on his bag.

OBJECT TO JAPANESE.
Oriental Fruit Pickcrs Not Welcomed
at Paonia.

Denver.-A dispatch of the 18th inst
from Paonia. Delta county. says. En-
couraged by fruit growers who feared
they would not have help to save peach
crops, thirty-five Japanese arrived Mt
Paonia yesterday from Utah. There
were immediate objections from pack
ing plants and, backed up by some OF
tho prominent merchants OF the town,
these people decided to force the for
cigners to leave.
Those responsible for the coming OF
the Japanese claim that not enough
white labor can be obtained and that
thousands of dollars worth of fruit will
go to waste for want OF help to handle
1t. The anti-Japanese element insist
that efforts should frs. be made to OBJ
tain American born help and claim
that the Japanese take everything
from the country and give nothing in
return. and make cheap-living and un-
desirable citizens.
Twenty of the Japanese left his
morning and the rest remained under
threats of bodily harm.
During past seasons The wives OF
merchants and business mon have vol
unteered TO help save the fruit crop
and the high school has been suspend
ed from four to six weeks during tho
packing season and the students
pressed into this work. This year the
crop will be the largest in the history
of the section. and the labor scarcity
will be more marked than ever.

wanton Destruction of Fish.

Denver-A Republican special from
Steamboat Springs Saturday says:
Some miscreant last night attempted
to kill al, the young fish in the Steam
boat Springs fish hatchery by shutting
off the water which supplied the build
ing at the head of Soda creek, and but
for the fortunate discovery by Superin-
tendent Brickel at 2 o'clock this morn.
ing that the water was not flowing in
the trough, all of the half million young
trout would have been dead in a short
time. 1t was only by most strenuous
work on the part of Mr.. Brickel's fam
lily that enough fresh water was kept
in the trough to preserve the life in
the fish and this was supplied by buck
cts from a ditch at some little distance
from the hatchery. Early this morn
ing 1t was thought every fish that had
been Matched this year would die, but
this evening the superintendent has
hope of saving considerably more than
half of those which have attained
growth of one inch or more, but all
Of the late Matching are dead and the
loss may reach 100000 OF both rainbow
and native trout.

st. Petersburg.-Grand Duke Nicho-
las Nicholaievitch, president of the
Council of National Defense. narrowly
escaped assassination Saturday after
neon at the hands of the Imperial
Guards in the guard camp At Krasroye-
Selo. The grand duke was personally
reviewing the maneuveriny and put
ting the troops through blank firing
practice when he was suddenly
startled by the wasp-like hiss of bull
lets about his head. Fortunately
neither himself nor his horse was
touched.
The command to cease firing was
Immediately given, the soldiers of the
regiment from which the bullets came
were marched back to their quarters
and an investigation begun.
1t was only after a long investiga-
tion that it was determined that the
ball cartridges were fired by the first
battalion of sharpshooters, one OF the
elite corps fthe Russian army. Sus-
picion was directed toward the zone
year volunteers" recruits. who, in con-
sideration of their educational quail
fications and social position, escape
with one year instead of four years
service. Many of these men are ex-
students at universities and are the
principal spreaders of the revolutions
ary propaganda among the troops.
Grand Duke Nicholas was sitting his
charger and observing the maneuver
from the top of an entrenchment. The
troops were advancing by short rushes

firing blank yolleys by squads as they
came.
Suddenly, when the first echclon of
the attacking force, consisting of
sharpshooters, was from 400 to 500
yards distant, bullet sang high over
head, followed by another and still
another. The cry was raised, they
are firing ball" and the group was
thrown into great confusion. After
frantic signaling cease firing" was
sounded, but the shots continued for
some time.
Grand Duke Nicholas remarked when
he Joined his suite: "It would be more
realistic If the troops always fred ball
during maneuvers, but this is unpar-
donable negligence"
How the conspirators obtained ball
cartridges has not been ascertained, as
ammunition is always called in after
the men return from patrol duty.
Fully hundred shots were fired but
the impatience of the conspirators led
them to open fire at such distance
as to Illustrate their object. Before
the maneuvers began all the ball cart
ridges were taken from the troops and

to make a complete examination of

Washington.-As soon as inventories
have been taken of the contractors
outfit seized by the Geological Survey
at Corbett tunnel and Shoshone dam.
on irrigation projects of northern
Wyoming. consideration will be given
to plans of completing these great CON
tracts. The failure of Charles Speer

CIarkson at Shoshone dam to live up
to the terms of their contracts is be-
ing investigated and may lave some
bearing on the method of completing
the works. 1t is likely the Geological

DENVER COURTS CONFLICT.
Prisoners for Contempt Freed by
JUDGE Palmer.


Denver.-Judge Lindsey sent Henry
L. Doherty, president Of the Gas COM
pany; Fred A. Williams, ex-chairman
of the Republican county committee;
George n. Ordway, president of the
Elections Commission, and J. Cook, Jr..
to jail because they would not testify
as witnesses in the examination into
the alleged election frauds of May 9th
on the vote for franchises for the Den
yer City Tramway Company and the
Gas and Electric Company.
Judge Peter l.. Palmer took jurisdic-
tion in habeas corpus proceeding
and ordered the sheriff to produce the
prisoners in court September 18th. and
show why he held them. Meanwhile he
released them from custody on bond
of 81 900 in each case.
Judge John l. Mullins, who at pres
ent presides in the criminal branch OF
the District Court, held that under the
rule of the District Court the writs are
returnable in the Criminal Court and
set aside the order admitting the pris-
oners to bail. This makes them liable
to reincarceration at once on the orig
inal commitments to Jail made out by
Judge Lindsey The sheriff was IN
structed to apprehend them immedi-
ately and take them back to jail. So
far they have not been found.
Besides the search for the four per
sons by the sheriff on the order for
their incarceration issued by Judge
Mullins, officers have new subpoenas to
serve, ordering them into the County
Court to act as witnesses. 1t is plain
that Judge Lindsey intends to compel
their attendance again and to punish
them over again if they refuse. as be-
fore. to testify.
