AFFILIATED banks have decided to is

nominations. These checks. in sums
of IS. $40 and $50, can be used In the
ordinary affairs Of BUSINESS and will

has been in use for some time in a
number of cities further east and has
worked we'll. Mr.. Moffat brings hope
and encouragement to the people OF
Denver and Colorado Normal condi-
tions will soon be restored with little
impairment to the nation at large or
to the sound financial institutions of
honest business.
After meeting of the Clearing
House Association the following Off
cial statement of the new step was
given out:
AT a meeting of the Denver Clear
ing House Association held Monday
night it was decided that each bank
should issue its cashiers checks in
the den lminations of S., $40 and $50,
respectively, payable to bearer. These
cashiers checks to pass as circulating
medium during the present monetary
stringency. These checks are to be
secured by a deposit of approved col
lateral in the hands of the Denver
Clearing House association.
1.-The custom of issuing cashiers
checks in small denominations to be
used as circulating medium has been
adopted in the cities generally all
over the United States. But SO far
as is known Denver is the only city
which has adopted the plan with the
security feature.
"A committee has been named by
the Denver Clearing House Associa-
ton, consisting of one member from
each Of the clearing house banks,
whose duty it will be to examine the
securities offered and place value
upon the same and on such securities
as it approves it will authorize the
bank making the deposit to issue cash
iers' checks up to a certain amount,
that amount being largely within the
market value of the securities. These
checks in addition to being signed by
an officer of the bank will be registered
and signed by an officer of the Denver
Clearing House Association"

Believe II Was Murder.

Durango.-EXciteme over the
shooting of Joseph A. Walker Of the
government secret service, Sunday, is
subsiding, but the tragedy is still the
chief topic of conversation. Walkers
companions insist that he was muir
dered in cold blood, while friends of
Superintendent Mason declare he
would not be party to anything of
that nature. The coroner and two
physicians held a post mortem exam
ination of the remains of Walker but
refused to give out their findings.
District Attorney Puliam has filed
information against Mason and Van
derweide. charging them with murder.
They were arrested and jailed and will
be held to await the result of the cor
oner's inquest. Denver agents Of the
government assert that Walker was
murdered and offer many arguments
In support Of their claim.

Walker Tragedy.

Washington Although two men
have surrendered, claiming that they.
in self-derCnsc, killed Secret Service
Agent John A. Walker at the entrance
of a mine at Durango Sunday, ChicS
John E. Wilkie of the secret service
said this morning that he was con
vinced from such details as are at hand
that the killing was nothing less than
cold bloOded murder. Chief Wilkic 20
day received partial report of the af-
fair by telegraph. In speaking of the
death Of Agent Walker, he said:
Il am informed that Mr.. Walker with
three assistants, named Callahan.
Chapson and Harper, went to the Hes.
perus mine. owned by the Porter Fuel
Company and controlled by the Union
Pacific railway, to make certain invcs-
tisation. The three men were lowered
into the shaft, and Agent Walker re
mained on top. When the three men
were ready to ascend the rope they
found no line at the bottom of the
shaft it having been cut above. They
made their way with difficulty to the
top and upon arriving above ground
found Walkers body. He had received
two bullets, one on the left side Of the
neck, another had entered his back.
When the party reached Durango with
the body. seven miles away, they
found that two men by the
name of Mason and Wander
weide had preceded them and dciiV-
cred themselves to the authorities.
The men claimed that they were out
hunting and passed the mine. Walker.
they said had ordered them to throw
up their hands and when they refused
to do so, they claim that Walker shot
at them. Nanderweide said that he re
turned the fire, killing Walker.
Il discredit this story. Walker was
not a man who was locking for trou-
BILE, and there is no reason why he
should have objected to the hunters
passing the mine"

DECISION:
Supreme COURT
AFFECTS POWERS OF HUMANE
SOCIETY IN CARING FOR NEG
LECTED STOCK.
CAN'T GET FEED BILL
SOCIETY WILL HAVE TO PROSE
CUTE OWNERS INSTEAD OF
CARING FOR ANIMALS.

Denver.-According to an opinion
handed down. by the Supreme Cod4
Monday the officers of the Board OH
Child and Animal Protection will have
to exert other efforts to cause stock
owners to care for their animals than
the method heretofore employed.
In the future the Humane Society
will not have the right to take up starv-
ing cattle on the range and after feed
ing and sheltCrng them, hold the own
ers for the expense of keeping the cai-
tie.
There were two cases which in
volved the question. In both OF them
Effie jerks, humane agent in Canon
City. was plaintiff against w. Stump
In one case and w. J. and J. T. Witcher
in the other The cases have been ap-
pe2led from the District Court of Ere
mont county.
Miss jerks found the cattle on the
plains to the south of Canon City. They
were in a desperate condition from the
want of water and food. She took the
animals to shelter and fed them. Stump
claimed the cattle and would not stand
good for the payment of the food and
shelter. The case went to the courts
and the District Court ruled that the
defendant did not have to pay the costs
of the keep of the stock.
Sucn was the Stump case, and that
of the Witchc:s was identical.
The casese were appealed and JUS
tice Caswell, who gave the opinion. has
confirmed the decision of the lower
court. In the opinion handed down the
court questions whether the agent OF
the society should be allowed TO lake
up cattle on his own initiative simply
because he thinks the stock is suffer
ing, no one else being consulted. and
of holding the owner liable for the
costs.
The law says that when the Humane
Society shall provide neglected animals
with food, shelter and care it may hold
such animals until the expenses in the
keep of the animals are paid by the
owners.
The opinion goes on to say that the
agent is, under the statute, the final ar
bitter and has TO consult no tribunal Eor
even the owner before taking up til.
cattle.
There il no penalty for Il failure OF
the agent to return any of the proceeds
from the sale of the animals to the
owner, and the only redress he has IS
in the courts. The court has ruled that
there is question whether public ne
ccssity demands summary action, and
when it does not notice should be sen,
to the owner of the property ana oppor-
tunity given before some court to de-
termine the truth of the allegations.
The ruling makes null and void the
statute in question. Concerning the
matter Secretary Whitehead of the Bu
reau Of Child and Animal Protection,
said:
at seems to me, from what | know
of the case that in the future we will
have to pursue the course of prosncut-
ing the owners first and not taking in
the stock. The delay will give time fnr
the animals to die"

Deafness cannot Be Iured
by local applications, as they can

you have a rumbling sound or i'm
