COURTS ORDER DISOBEYED.

Boxes in Defiance of Sheriff,

Denver, Colo, Aug. There may be
serious trouble before tomorrow morning
over the ballot boxes containing the votes
on the franchises cast last May
This afternoon Judge Lindsey sent the
sheriff TO seize the boxes, but he was met
with refusal on the part of the watch
ers. Later, when the sheriff appeared
with an imperative demand for the boxes
he found that a number of men had gath
cred and he was told he could not have
them without a fight. He reported this
to Judge Lindsey, who tonight instructed
him to form posse and seize the boxes at
any cost.
The day has been replete with sensations
over the franchise matters. Judge Booth
M. Malone of the district court decided
his court had no Jurisdiction over the in
quiry into the franchise contest cases in
stituted by Judge Ben B. Lindsey in the
county court and attorneys for the cor
porations took the matter TO the supreme
court, where it was taken under advise
ment until tomorrow, but no order was
issued to stop Judge Lindsey pending the
decision.
In the meantime Lindsey proceeded with
its hearing and found six men guilty of
contempt four of them for refusing to be
sworn, the other two being the watchers
who refused TO give up the boxes
The four who refused to be sworn are
j. Cook, jr., who is said 10 have held the
land on which alleged fraudulent tax re-
ceipts were issued: Fred Williams, former
chairman Of the Republican city central
committee; H. L. Doherty of the gas COM
pany and J. N. Ordway, president of the
election commission.

REGARDS STORM AS OVER.
Russian Government VIII Now Work
Out Its Program.

learns that the government regards the
storm raised by the dissolution of par
lament as past, and that it intends i'm

policy of Strong handed reform" to which
Premier Stolypin committed himself. The
cardinal plank of the program is an
attempt to appease the discOntented peas
antry as far as possible. The govern
ment's agrarian program, which will
not differ greatly from the Sitchinsky
project, will not only be promulgated,
but probably will be placed in effect as
a temporary law, the emperor having the
right to issue temporary laws during
recess of parliament. In other words ft
is the intention of the government TO
attempt to solve its most difficult prob
lem irrespective of parliament. in the be-
lief that ii will meet with enough sup
port to make it impossible for the next
parliament to refuse its assent.
Appointments to the three vacancies in
the cabnet-agriculture, commerce and

of the council of the empire, who was

Iropportune Movement.

While the reDressions and arrests Of
the leaders undoubtedly were a great
factor in bringing about the present sit
uation, it is apparent that the moment
was ill-choseE for a strike. The people
were not in the temper to support 1t.
As a consequence the revolutionary
leaders who really inspired it with the
intention of Transforming the move
ment into an armed uprising, have suf-
fered a severe loss OF prestige and the
prOletaTiat organizations through
which they worked have been so weak
ened in the eyes of the masses that it
is probable they Will not quickly re-

for the worst holding military trains in
readiness at all the centers. and had
even made arrangements to send out
the foreign mails by torpedo boats from

than local echoes of all this feverish

active state Of terrorism, is expected in
the immediate future.

Ed. Kelly, who arrived from Will
burn, Ala, about two weeks ago, had
the misfortune a few days ago to loose
his purse somewhere in town, which
contained $50 in currency, a $40
check and his railroad ticket. He
had no idea as to just where he lost it
and came to the conclusion that he
would not see or hear anything OF it
again. Monday morning when Post
master Starrett arrived at the post
Office he found u purse hanging to the
knob of the door. He took it off and
on opening il found it to belong to
Mr.. Kelly as the ticket and check,
bearing Mr.. Kelly's name, were in the
purse, and the $50 was found to be
missing. AS it is. Mr.. Kelly is very
thankful to get what he did.

Winaemucca Is No Longer End OF
Division.

INLAY is to be the division point on
the Oregon Short Line division of the
Southern Pacific between Sparks and
Salt Lake, according to a report from
that place; roundhouses, a depot and
a townsite are the improvements to be
made, and it is asserted that the work
will begin when the construction force
under Engineer Somers is removed
from Palisade.
This will make the division point
for freight hauls forty-four miles near
er Sparks, rs Winnemucca, the pres
ent terminal, is Ill miles from the
latter place. Carlin will be the other
division east. 1t is to equalize the
runs between Carlin and Sparks that
this change is being made.
On the site purchased by the Oregon
Short Line work is already under way
and the surveys for the townsite are
almost completed. INLAY will be the
town in which the train crews will
stop over on the run east from Sparks
and west from Carlin. This change
will not materially effect the prosper
ity of Winnemucca, it is asserted, as
the Western Pacific will cross the
latter place at this point, and this
transcontinental road will soon begin
building roundhouses and other inn
provements.-Reno Journal.
