Boulder, Colo.-Working on the
theory that a diabolical plot had been
formed to destroy the property of the
Colorado G. Southern at this place and
probably elsewhere, the railroad detec-
tives and local police and sheriff's
forces are laboring to find the men.
who are believed to have started the
fire which, accompanied by. an explo-
sion of dynamite, destroyed the Colo
RADIO & Southern freight depot, dam
aged scores of buildings, cost the lives
of three men, and .one one woman. and
caused more or less serious injury to
many persons.
Ayreport that ]. w. Reeves, arrested
ION suspicion of knowing who starteda
the fire. had confessed. is denied by
the officers, but it Is stated that an eff
fort will be made to force him to talk.
Facts have been brought to Hight, ac-
cording to the, detectives, which they
believe will lead to the fastening Of
guilt upon the right parties. What
these facts are, the officers will not say.
One officer said certain alleged COM
lrades of Reeves had made statements
to the authorities throwing much light
upon the aHdlT. NO duuitiOush diEeslo
have been made. ~ .
The hospital authorities report J. l..
Fox as doing nicely and that Mrs. Ran
dali and son were improving as rapidly
as could be expected. These are all
that are left at the hospital. Reports
from all the other injured about the
city are favorable.
The Funeral of Ray lie Fevre was
held Monday. Services were held In
the Friends church. The time OF the
funeral of rglbert Z. Weeks has not
been decided upon.
The report that A. II. Ramsey. con-
sumptive had died, Is not true. On the
contrary all of those injured will re-
cover.
Colorado q Southern Strike Still On.
Denver. recent development
| IN the local railroad situation makes a
strike of the switchmen and trainmen
on the Denver & Rio Grande extremely
improbable. So confident is Vice
President Charles II. Schlacks that
the conference scheduled between.the
switchmen and assistant Manager w.
| j. Martin will not result in a strike
that he left Denver on his annual trip
to New York leaving the settlement
of local grievances entirely in the
hands of the general superintendent
and the assistant general manager.
II am confident that a method will
| be discovered whereby the demands of
our switchmen can be settled without
strike said MI. Schlacks just
before his private car left the de-
pot. my present trip has absolutely
nothing to do with the possibility OF
strike and | am leaving town secure
In the belief that we will have no
trouble with the men employed on our
system"
| The grievance committee elected by
members of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Traihhien employed on the Den
yer & Rio Grande will meet with Cen
eral, Superintendent A. E. Welby and
Assistant General Manager W. J. Mar
tin and present the- same demand for
an advance OF 20 cents day for
switchmen which has caused the
strike of the switchmen and train
men employed by the Colorado &
Southern. The matter will doubtless
be compromised
Grand Master P. H. Morrissey of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen ex-
pressed himself yesterday as well sat
isfied with the strike situation. Vice
President Parker of the Colorado &
Southern stated that more 1relSht was
moved on that system Sunday than
any day since the strike was called.
