MUST PAY COST OF SUIT. Colonel Russell Loses Case Against
 Winchester Arms Co.

Washington. Nov 1s.-The suit of Colonel Andrew H. Russell of this city for 3100,000 damages against the Winchester Repeating Arms Go of New Haven. which. has been in the courts for eight years, has been de- cided by Judge Platt. who gave a yer dict taxing costs to Colonel Russell. It was case of an alleged infringe ment of . patent, Colonel Russell claiming that the Infringement was in the manufacture of the Lee rife.
 The New Haven company made 15.000 of these for the government for use during the Spanish war. The United States was in reality the de- fendants, as in the contracts the gov ernment took the responsibility for damage suits. As the plaintiff is a colonel in the ordnance department of the United States, it was a case of an ofilcer suing his employer. Col onel Russell charged that James Paris Lee. the inventor of the Lee rife. the gun in dispute. stole his patent.

A MOUNTAIN MOVING.
Peculiar Disturbance That Has Caused
Telluride Much Trouble.

The trouble on the Telluride
branch of the Rio Grand Southern
railroad has been occasioned, not
by an ordinary land slide, but by
the moving of mountain. Where
this remarkable phenomenon oc-
ours is about FIVE miles from Tell
uride on Keystone mountain
where keystone placer mine is
located When the movement
was first discovered in June of
LIST week, six inches per week
were made according to measure
ments, and comparatively little
attention was paid to it. In Feb
ruary the movement increased to
such an extent that the Keystone
Placer people took up their pipe
lines walled up their tunnel and
awaited results. On May Goth
the slide is said to have given
trouble by running two feet and
afterward ran about four feet
day. The last attempt at cross
ing on the railroad was made on
May 3lst when two cars of coal
were dragged across by means of
a rope. Twelve hundred feet of
track was then torn up and taken
to a place of safety. The esti-
mate OF the acreage moving varies
according to different reports, is
from 10 to 150 acres of land and
the vast body has moved as much
as 20 feet per day, covering the
railroad bed to a depth of 100
feet. The speed of the move
ment slackened the later part of
the week and Monday it was said
to nave moved only about one
foot in four days. That's easy
and the people over there think
it is standing entirely still when
it only moves that fast. So. the
roadmaster of the Southern
started in to work Sunday, max
ing new road bed preparatory
to laying track with as much ap-
parent assurance as though he
wasn't laying track on moving
mountain. The Telluride Journal
of Monday says concerning the
new track being laid:
The track will have a couple of
curves it did not have before the
slide, but they are not abrupt
enough to hinder any.
1t is thought by some that in
its downward course the hill has
built up foundation perhaps
stronger than before, as it was
not a surface slide by any means,
but seemed to be working from
the bottom, permitting the I'M
mense boulders to get down un-
derneath and forming a better
foundation than ever. but time
will have to determine this.
Theory is all right in its place
but i, takes something substantial
and practical to run railroad
over even it it is narrow gauge,

ing this trouble are not amateurs
in the fruit business, but are men
who have been successful for
some time. Some people have
used blue vitrol with good results
but they scattered only a small
quantity and foot or two from
the roots of the tree and covered
it with dry dirt, so that the action
of the chemical was much slower" !"

FRUIT GROWERS COME TO GRIEF.
Unwise Use of Blue Vitrol as a Fun.
gicide Might have Caused
Heavy Loss of Trees.

"a great many fruit growers
about Grand Junction are coming
to grief through the unwise use
of blue vitrol as a fungicide and
in treating the trees to prevent
the ravages of other parasites,
said Mr.. o. B. WhipPle, the field
horticulturist in this district last
evening.
Il don't know how many calls
| have had lately to visit fruit
ranches and found the leaves on
the trees all shriveled up and the
branches dropping just as if they
had been too near bonfire and
had been scorched. The first
time was called on such a case
| was very much puzzled. The
nian did not tell me at first what
he had done but after talking a
while with him found that he
had dug holes about fifty of his
apple trees, scattered couple of
pounds of blue vitrol in the hole
and then filled them with water
to dissolve the vitrol. After his
solution had been absorbed by
the earth the holes were refilled
and the next day about fifty of
the trees, every single one that
had peen so treated the day be-
fore, showed the same signs that
killing process was going on.
The cause had been only twenty
four hours IN operating.
The man was loath to be-
lieve me when | first told him
what was the cause. so firmly was
he believer in the u of vitrol.
but ! finally persuaded him and
he dug out the earth from around
every tree that had been so
treated and the roots and sur
rounding dirt was washed and
rinsed in clear water. The trees
are now looking much better and
/ believe they will live, but there
is no question but that he will
have lot of dead limbs.
II sent lot of the limbs of
the first trees | found injured in
this way to the laboratory of the
State Experimental station at
Fort Collins, and have received
the reeults of their investigation
which states that there is a start

in the wood fibre of all the
branches sent them.
"When YOU think that one
pound OF the vitrol dissolved in
400 gallons OF water is as strong
spray as the leaves and
branches OF the tree will stand,
it is small wonder that two or
/ three pounds scattered about the
roots OF a tree and dissolved in
only few quarts of water will
play such havoc with tree when
