Pueblo, Aug. 27.-A shot fred at
random by George Fox. foreman Of the
Nuckolls ranch, twenty-five miles
west Of Pueblo. caused the death yes
terday Of Fred E. Fisher. . cowboy.
Fox admits he did the shooting, but

Fisher was in the garden sixty
yards from the ranch house and was
hidden by weeds. Fox picked up re-
volver and pulled the trigger. An hour
afterwards a party started to drive
some cattle to Pueblo and Fisher
was missing. A search for him was

SUES COMPANY FOR
PORTER'S INSULTS

Cripple Creek, Aug. PA suit OF
sensational character was commenced
In district court yesterday by Attor-
ney M. Glover, representing Mrs. G.
O'Brien, to recover $26. 900 from the
Colorado Midland Railway company
and the Pullman Palace Car company.
together with costs Of suit.
1t is alleged In the complaint at or
on May 7. 1907, while riding on one
Of their cars a negro porter, whose
name is unknown but who for con-
venience IL called John Doe, was en-
ployed by the defendants to attend said
car. That said negro was q man Of bad
and dangerous character and an utter
ly unsuitable character to be employed
In such duties.
while the plaintiff and her chill
dren, travelling alone and without the
presence OF her husband, were asleep
In a berth OF said sleeping car, the
said porter came to tho berth be-
tween II and IL O'Clock at night and
treated the plaintiff in a rude and in
sulting manner. laying violent hands
on her and making insulting proposals
which she resisted, when she drew
from her reticule a small revolver and
pretended to load and point same i;
that the officers and agents OF the de-
PENDANTS were we'll aware OF the char
acter Of said negro and the probability
Of such behavior on his part and ut
terly failed to warn the plaintiff or
take measures for her protection.
That by reason Of the humiliation
and the injury to her feelings. sus-
tained and the publicity given the
matter on the train the plaintiff has
been damaged in the amount named.

COMPTROLLER RIDGELY is
OPTOMISTIC AS TO FINANCES

Washington, Aug. 26.-William r.
Ridgely, comptroller of the currency,
yesterday discussed in detail the plan
which Secretary Cortelyou has formu-
lated to relieve possible money string
ency this fall through the distribution
OF funds among the national banks.
He gives several reasons for regarding
the plan as wise and timely and says
he can see no reason why the demand
for liquidation should become so gen.
eral as to produce anything like PAN
ic or commercial crisis. In fact, he
takes a most optimistic view of the
situation, maintaining that the re-
sources of the country never at any
time were SO readily available for pro-
gress and development as they are
at present. Comptroller Ridgely's
statement follows:
THE announcement by Secretary
Cortelyou of his plan for relieving the
strain on the money market by the
deposit Of government funds, is very
wise and timely and should go very
TAR toward allaying apprehension and
restoring business to its normal con-
dition. 1t is we'll known by every
one at all connected with the money
market that the present stringency ap-
plies more particularly to time loans
than to call loans. Time-money is very
tight, while call money is compare
lively easy and for this reason the
pressure Is bearing most heavily on
commercial and manufacturing inter-
ests.
THE secretary's plan of making de-
posits when and where needed will en-
able him to apply his relief wherever
1t will do most good to commercial and
manufacturing business, with less ref
erence to the speculative situation. 1
believe 1t is better to make this an
nouncement now and offer the relief
in this way than to wait until the
stock market Is in more or less Of a
panic and rates for call loans are ex-
tremely high. One OF the great dis
turbing factors in our annual crop
moving stringency has always been
the uncertainty as to when and how
the secretary Of the treasury would
take action. 1t is sometimes charged
that call rates have been manipulated
up to fictitious heights to effect this
action.
81 am glad that Mr. Cortelyou has
anticipated this and by making this
announcement now removes as much
OF the uncertainty as is possible.
while the present situation is one
requiring care and cool headed, DELHI
crate action. especially on the rart Of
the bankers, there is no reason at all

GOV. BUCHTEL WOULD,
RETAIN SUPT. ALDRICH

Monte Vista, Aug. 27.-Gov. Buchtel
has SHE'D his castor OF influence into
the scrap that is going on In the
Soldiers and Sailors Home In this
city and has come out tooth and toe
nail for Supt. Aldrich and announces
that the present controller of the in
situation must not be removed. Just
what weight the governors Influential
castor will have remains to be seen.
He at least secured the postpone
ment Of the meeting Of the board Of
control for two days. This, the msm-
bers Of the board say, was doss out Of
Cañon City record., 1907-08-29

why the demand for liquidation should
SO spread as to produce anything like
panic or comemrcial crisis. The
banking condition is unusually sound
more SO on account of the readjust-
ment Of stock market values. There
is a tremendous demand for money
as it is called, that is a demand for
credits to finance all kinds of busi-
ness. But 1t is no greater than II
has been in the aggregate and only
requires some shifting in detail. The
banks have the resources to supply
this credit and while 1t may be nec-
essary for them to curtail new op-
erations and discourage any further
expansion among their customers they
should have no difficulty in taking
care Of the current business and ac-
commodating their customers in all
legitimate demands. The banks have
met several similar crisis before sue
cessfully and with better banks, bet
ter organizations, more reserve money
with an absolutely assured standard
Of value, there is absolutely no doubt
that they will be able to take care
OF things this fall and get us over
the critical period.
THE element in the situation is due
to the seanson Of the year and the fact
that we have raised between five and
six billion dollars worth OF grain, COT
ton, cattle. hogs and other farm pro-
steel, copper and other wealth that
is being produced.
This is not situation to get fright
ened about or to make necessary to
call on every one suddenly to pay
their debts. but it should rather en-
courage the banks to taake care of
their customers and make loans con-
servatively where there Is proper bas-
Is for credit. We should take courage
from the fact that although this sit
uation doubtless Is. as claimed, world
wide and international that we have
in this country enormous elements for
recuperation in this vast production
Of wealth. 1t never was so great as
at the present time or more available
for our progress and development.
Prosperity is proverbially hard to
stand but ther Is no sense in letting
such evidence scare US to death"
