FOOD FOR FANS.

Some of the Barons' old luck returned
to them yesterday. Coupling luck with
timely hitting and the fact that Wilhelm
pitched great ball when Little Rock had
men on the bases, and one will see very
plainly how the Barons won the game.
In fact timely hitting has won both of
the games for the Barons In Little Rock.
Yesterday whenever couple of men
reached the bags. a Baron would slap the
ball to the outer garden somewhere AID
one or two men would trot across tho
rubber
The Travellers had more than one chance
to win the game or at least to make 1t
close or tie 1t up, but Wilhelm always
settled back and put the ball over just
right, or the team made some brilliant
play behind him. A couple of doubles
aided some.
The Barons seem to be making more err
rors just now than at any previous time
during this season. They have made more
than they were entitled to make in more
than one game recently, and these errors
have been responsible for some of the
runs scored against Them Montgomery
carried off the honors in the error column
yesterday, but other members of the team
have not been running far behind re-
Gently.
1t won't do just at this stage of the
season to drop into the error column too
often, as against a well matched team
errors are always costly.
Manager Vaughn has spent two days
in Little Rock where President Kavanaugh
resides and as yet there have been no
orders issued by the head of the league
to quit playing Castro. That Is pretty
good evidence that the sale was all right
and that the bowls of the Nashville pa
pers and some others around the circuit
were without cause. One thing is certain,
and that is that If the president found
anything wrong with the Castro deal he
would have ordered Birmingham to stop
playing him.
The Baron manager Is out In an inter-
view endorsing President Kavanaugh for
the presidency of the league another year.
That at least settles how the local man
agement feels towards the head of the
league and should quiet all the disturb
ances that have been raised against him.
If Vaughn Is satisfied. there Is no cause
for complaint. When any one runs 1t over
the big manager of the Barons, it is time
to speak, but Vaughn feels that he has
got all that was due him this year and is
not complaining.
The fans who have attended the matt
nees presided over by Commodore Orcutt
this season will present him with a token
of their esteem this afternoon when he
opens the wire to call the game from
Little Rock A number of those present
yesterday afternoon contributed to the
token and "Rooter' Brown has been ap-
pointed a delegate to obtain a suitable
remembrance. circuit Is considered the
best in the league when 1t comes to de-
failing game, and fans are showing their
appreciation of his entertainment during
the season.

there lies the story of the second defeat
of the Zlmmerites.
Both Wilhelm and Allen were touched
up considerably. but Allen yielded seven
of his ten hits in the fourth and hilh
innings, which resulted in five runs and
the game for the Barons. The Travellers
gave the league leaders a scare until
the fourth inning, when the Barons began
smuggling Allen and thereafter there was
nothing to it but Birmingham.
Montgomery played the worst fielding
game that he has ever put up in this
city. He had five fielding chances and
made hobbies on three of the number
Wordsworth Scored First.
The first run for the Barons was made
in the opening round by Wordsworth He
walked, went to second on Smiths sacri-

of a passed ball and scored on Mont
gomerys bunt to Allen.
After Montgomery went out in the
fourth, Meeks was safe on fly to short
center and was followed by Gear, with
n hit to right for two sacks. Castro was
walked, filling the bases. Walters was
safe on fly to short left and Meeks
scored. Garvin singled to left and brought
Gear and Castro home. In the NTH Smith

Charges Against Woodard Fail.

Denver-For some time past the
governor has been giving attention to
the charges filed against Game and
Fish Commissioner Woodard. They
were voluminous enough; so also were
the answers of the accused. But 1t is
stated that the governor has not been
able to find any ground for the re-
moval OF the commissioner. 1t is quite
possible that had Mr. Woodard a little
more tact he would get along better,
but the governor cannot remove on
that ground alone. The accounts of
the office seem to be all right. AL.
though the complaints are not sus
tanned. the filing gave the governor
the opportunity to investigate and to
recommend improvements in the con.
duct of the office.

State Land Sold.

Denver-At a meeting of the State
Land Board Wednesday it was de-
cided to sell 61.S acres of land north
of Argo to the Tramway company for
$3.50 an acre. The tract will be used
for shops by the Tramway. The land
had been appraised at $3.50 an acre. 1t
was decided that the betterments. val
ued at $4,000, should be included in the
$3.50 figure:
The Arkansas Valley and the Swink
& Holly railroads. both of which have
applied for a right of way over state
land in Bent county, were instructed
to draw up different routes which
would be appraised by the board, a
conflict thus being avoided.

GENERAL WALSEN DEAD.
Noted Colorado Pioneer Passes Over
the Range.

General Fred Walsen died Thursday
morning at 2:3O O'Clock, at his resi-
dence, No. 1905 Grant avenue.
General Walsen had been ill for the
last twenty days, but it was not until
the last three days that his illness was
considered serious. He has been con-
fined to his bed for two weeks. Con
gestion of the liver was the original
trouble, and dropsy was the cause OF
death.
General Walsen was in his sixty.
sixth year. A Colorado pioneer, per
haps no man in the state was more
widely known both in political and
business circles.
He was the founder of the town OF
Walsenburg, this state, and was state
treasurer in the eighties. Several
years ago he retired from active bust
ness and since that time he has made
Denver his home.
General Walsen was a Mason and
an Elk and member of many other Sc
cret and popular organizations. He
leaves a wife and several grown chill
dren. who were at his bedside when
death came.

C. & S. SHOPS BURNED.
Heavy Loss in company's Big Plant
in Denver.

Denver-By the accidental explo
sion of tank of Pintsch gas in a car
which was awaiting repairs, fir0
started at the Colorado & Southern
shops, Seventh and Water streets, al
10 O'Clock Tuesday morning. which re-
suited in the complete destruction OF
the repair department and planning
mill. BY the company's officials the
loss of the property and machinery is
estimated at 100000, which is partly
covered by insurance TO the amount of
S51.500 The total insurance on the
entire plant, valued at $500 coo, is
s165, 400.
On account of the vast quantity OF
oil and other inflammable material
used at the shops, the fire, after it
once gained headway, made rapid
progress, and defied the efforts of the
firemen, who worked valiantly to get
the flames under control before spread
ing to other buildings.
While the roundhouse and machine
shops were threatened, there was
slight probability at any time that
they would be consumed, the firemen
from the time of their arrival on the
ground taking precautions against
danger from this source.

IRRIGATION DECISION.
Lake County Ranchmen Win Against
Otero Project


Denver.-A Buena Vista dispatch
says: At an adjourned session of the
District Court Wednesday the decision
Of Judge Bailey was rendered in the
case Of the Otero irrigation district
petitioners for the diversion of water
from this and Lake county to Otero
county, east of Pueblo. The finding
was for the protestants and much
pleasure is evinced by the ranchmen
of this district, who consider the re-
suit victory for them.
The decision holds that the transfer
or change would materially injure the
vested rightsof junior appropriations of
water rights of the Arkansas river and
It's tributaries and that it would be i'm
possible under the testimony adduced
TO arrive with any degree of accuracy
at the amount of damage that would
accrue. Nor did the court believe it
possible to bring testimony that
would materially aid in arriving at a
fair and just estimate of the extent of
such injury. 1t says further:
From personal experience and from
that the use of water upon the lands at
and near the source of the Arkansas
river as heretofore used for irrigation
purposes is of material benefit to all
other appropriations and users of water
on the stream, both above and below,
and this too without regard to the
question as to whether the priority so
affected were senior or junior to those
sought to be transferred
Such use upon the lands in times
of water abundance. when all priori-
ties are substantially satisfied, acts as
a conservation of water and sends it
down the stream later in times of
scarcity as grateful supply to all
users, which water. but for such con-
servation, would have long before and
when no use could have been made of
it, passed down the river and TO the
sea"
Attorneys for the petitioners gave
notice of appeal to the Supreme Court
and were given sixty days to file
bond and ninety days to prepare a bill
of exceptions.
The suit was brought by the Otero
irrigation district to secure the diver
sion of ninety-two cubic feet of water
from District No. IL to the eastern
part of the state to District No. II.
The computed value of the water in
volved is in the neighborhood of
$4,000, but the value of land af-
fected by the proposed diversion,
it has been estimated would be
increased in an amount close TO
$4,000 for every cubic foot of
water sought to be diverted. TAX
ing Professor Carpenters estimate,
that cubic foot of water will ir-
rigate $50 to 200 acres of land. and
using the lower figures. it will be seen
that the collateral amount involved in
the suit is considerably more than
s400, 900.
