Superintendent Arthur TTelford has
been notified that in all probability
the United States convicts now in

formerly cared for at Leanvenworth

her own convicts. thus relieving the
Leavenworth prison of many inmates.
Federal prisoners from the peniten-
tary at Joliet and Chester, Illinois
and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. have
already been placed in the Federal
prison at Leavenworth. Preparations
are now being made to remove the

New York, Dec. 26.-The demur-
rers imposed by Andrew Hamilton to
the complaint of the New York Life

half of the company, were sustained
today by Judge Birchoff in the Su.

lenge the sufficiency of each cause of
action for an accounting and raise
the question of missioner if some of

deemed sufficient to proceed for other
relief. The court upholds the demur-
rer as to the insufficiency of the first
three causes of action and gives the
life insurance company leave to
amend on payment of costs.

CARLOAD OF
WINE BURNED
Christmas Mornine--Loss
Not Known.

Early Tuesday morning the fire de.
partment was called to the railroad
yards to extinguish fire in a freight
car loaded with California wines
which had just arrived via the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad. One end
of the car was burned out and the con.
tents badly damaged II not wholly de.
stroyed A hot box Is supposed to
have been the cause of the fire. The
loss is not known definitely.
The wines were in barrels and
cases. They were consigned to H. B.
Cartwright & Brother of this city but
it Is understood that part Of the ship.
ment was for several saloons of Santa
Fe. When shipped from the winery
the wines were loaded into one large
standard guage car but were trans
ferred into two narrow gauge cars
upon being turned over to the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad. The car
which caught on fire was the first to
reach the city, the other one being de-
layed in transit at some point on the
line.
Shortly after the wine car was
placed on a sidetrack in the local rail
road yards flames were discovered
and fire alarm was turned in imme.
diately The fire laddies responded
promptly and by quick work were able
to save the entire car from destruc.
tion. The bottles in the cases burst
from the heat and the greatest loss
was sustained on this account. Little
if any of the wine in barrels was de-
stroyed but it may be damaged to a
certain extent by smoke.
The fact that the fire broke sit so
soon af.er the car was set out on the
sidetrack gave rise to the theory that
the flames were caused by hot
box" No credence is placed in The
rumor that the fire might have been
of incendiary origin. Being Christ
mas eve and midnight mass being
celebrated in the several Catholic
Churches many people were awake
and the ringing of the fire bell at
tracted large crowd to the scene,
Other box cars were pulled out OF
danger.
"It seems shame to see all that
Christmas cheer going to waste one
of the spectators jokingly remarked
to a group of Christmas merrymakers.
The popping of the bottles in the Wine
cases sounded like the distant fire or
musketry. and the rich red wine flow
ed freely from the car into the cln-
ders below.
H. B. Cartwright examined the con-
tents of the burned car this morning
but was unable to place an estimate
on the loss sustained.
