Singular Fatal Accident"

Denver.-A News special from Gun.
nison, April 30th, says: The jury i'm
paneled by County Coroner George l..
Miller to investigate the killing OF
Herman Rausis at Parlins last week
brought in a verdict this afternoon to
the effect that Maurice Lournay com
mitted the deed by hitting him with a
chair. The jury added that the killing
was accidental.
According to the evidence there was
some dispute over Palmer Vader hold
ing six cards in poker game. All the
players were more or less under the in
fuence of whisky, and got to scuffling.
The fight became particularly warm
between Vader and Maurice Lournay
The latter picked up chair, the jury
found, and struck at Vader just as his
cousin, Herman Rausis, was trying to
step between them to stop the fight
Vader dropped and Rausis got the full
force Of the blow, which fractured his
skull. He died last Thursday.
The victim was one of the best
known ranchmen in Gunnison county.
He was member of the Masonic and
Woodmen lodges, and vice president of
the Stock Growers association here.

Pennsylvania has passed upon young

goods under false pretenses. While the
course of this court could not be FOL

something in the spirit of its ruling
that will appeal to all who condemn
tndiscrim.nate punishment. The young
man might have gone to prison for a
year, but that would have marred his
life. Besides there may have been
members OF his family dependent upon
him for support who during his alb
sence would have suffered quite as
much as he. Always pursuing con-
ventional lines of punishment some Of

ALFALFA SHORTAGE.
Damage by Dry Winter Near Fort
Collins.

Denver.-Many fields of alfalfa were
killed out during the winter and farm
ers and stockholders are considerably
worried over the prospective shortage
of the seasons hay crop, says the Fort
Collins correspondent of the Republi-
can. Newly seeded alfalfa suffered
the most, there being scarcely any of
it alive. At first 1t was thought that
worm had killed the alfalfa by
working from the roots, but Professor
Gillette, entomologist at the Agricul-
tural College, says that the destruction
of the crop is due to lack of moisture
during the winter.
No moisture to speak of fell in this
valley from October until March and
the soil was as dry as bone dust all
through the winter. Many of the
farmers plowed up their old alfalfa
fields last fall, depending upon last
years seeding for this years hay crop,
but as this has failed them, the crop
will fall far short of the normal, leav-
ing the lamb and cattle feeders with
but little hay for their next winters
operations. Senator Drake. who usu
ally feeds from $1,000 to $4,000 sheep
and lambs every winter, says he will
hardly harvest enough alfalfa this
year to keep his team. Many other big
feeders are in the same boat and the
result will be that less than one-half
as many sheep and cattle as usual will
be fitted for market in Larimer county
next winter.

FRUIT EXPERIMENTS.
Department Station at
Canon City.

Denver-A Canon City dispatch
says: The Department of Agriculture
has established an experimental sta
ton at Lincoln park, near this city,
to determine certain questions in re-
lation to horticulture in the irrigated
districts of Colorado, one Of which is
the amount of moisture necessary to
produce a perfect tree and maximum
crop of fruit. The station has been
placed in the charge OF two of the de-
partment's experts and tests will be
made during the coming summer with
view of finding solution for some
Of the more perplexing questions con-
cerning fruit growing in this section.
Connected with the station are two
acres of matured and well-known ap-
pie trees OF the Ben Davis, Gano and
Winesap varieties and by an intensive
cultivation of the soil and scientific
treatment Of the trees, it is expected
that the best possible results will be
obtained 80 far as the character and
extent Of the crop is concerned. Weirs
for tho measurement Of water have
been installed at the headgate OF the
irrigating canal and the water used in
the orchard will be carefully measured
and recorded.
The work is in charge Of F. w.
Roeding, superintendent Of the exper-
mental station of the Department of
Agriculture at Rocky Ford.

Mrs. Hamilton is more prudent

'Oh, he does. There is no question

sister, Mrs. Green, who lives next
door to Mrs. Fry, says she told Mrs.
Fry herself about Mr. Hamiltons re-
turn when Edes was combing his hair
by the little glass in the kitchen. They
were so excited at first that they did
not notice until he started to go up
to his room. His face was as white
as sheet, Mrs. Green said. and he
looked more like a corpse than a liv-
ing man. He never came down that
night she found out by asking Mrs
Fry, and the next morning when he
went to his work he looked glummer
and stiller than ever. Mrs. Fry wor-
ships Mrs. Hamilton. and she laid it

constrained order and her interest in
Edes acknowledgements indeed
for she knew he was miserable on her
account, and pity was so ingrained
in her nature that she could feel for
his woes as though they were her
own.
One day she CHANGED to meet him
face to face as she was going down
the street and he was returning from
the mill. When he saw her he put out
his hand with an eloquent gesture to
stop her.
"Constance-Mrs. Hamilton, has he
come back?"
Yes, | suppose so.'
He did not notice the strangeness of
her reply, but turned away his head
with groan. seemingly wrung from

Yes. Oh, he gave up the idea long
ago; no grounds at all for thinking SO.

the average"
AN excellent machin!st, though,
they tell me-"
Haven't you noticed him?"
''Only at a distance"
''Well, he is strange man." said
the bank president, walking away and
wondering whether Hamilton would
ever hear what had been said about
Edes' devotion to his wife. That he
had not yet, was evident by his total
lack of interest in him. Edes himself
looked very despondent since the cash
ier's return. or so it was said. Mr..
Hartwell was superior to gossip when
passing through the ordinary chan
nels. but told to him by his eweet-

DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL.
Plan to Take 1t Out of the Charity
List

Denver.-A movement is on foot to
take the states school for deaf and
dumb out of the class Of eleemosynary
institutions and place it directly un-
der the charge of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction. The
scheme, through the excellence of It's
work, has become one of the impor-
tant educational institutions of Colo
rado and has attracted the attention OF
educators all over the country. 1t is
located at Colorado Springs and is now
under the supervision of the State
Board of Charities and Correction,
which has taken the initiative in
bringing about the transfer, and au-
thorized its legislative committee. to
draft the necessary bill.
The school would still receive itsl
regular appropriations as now except
that they would be made with the
other educational institutions Of the
state.
Such result is conditioned upon
the success which the legislative COM
mittee of the State Board of Charities
and Correction has in getting a law
authorizing the change through the
next Legislature. Little. If any, oppo-,
sition is anticipated to the proposition,
as the work of the school itself is its

educational institution.

there, is regarded as the Helen Keller

Hush! you must not say such
words. 1t is wicked; you forget where
you are. We have talked too long
already. Good-day," and she walked
hastily away, hoping no one had seen
them.
Edes walked slowly homeward, but
the effect of this interview did not
end it. 1t was destined to grow and
expand and fructify.
That evening Constance CHANGED to

Edes did not follow him inside the
gate. Her husband did not see him at

walk to the house Constance saw the
man stop an instant and shake his
fist threateuingly in the air. That
threatening, uncouth gesture frighten-
ed her, it was so instinct with unrea-

at her heart she turned to meet her
husband, whose face seemed paler

shaken.

He spoke tenderly, though his
words were matter Of fact enough;
