A posse headed by Writ Bailey

NEW RAILWAY PROJECT.
Feeder for the Moffat Road in North.
ern Colorado.

CTH SOioTduo.
Denver: The News of Friday says:
An important railway project, which
promises to be big feeder for the
Moffat road, is outlined in an amend
ment to the articles OF incorporation
of the Rocky Mountain Railway Com
pany, filed yesterday in the office OF
the secretary of state. The company
is backed by a number of capitalists,
at the head of whom is T. s. Waite
meyer of Boulder. Mr.. Waltemeyer is
president of the company, and J. T.
Waltemeyer, a relative, holds the Of
flee of secretary.
The connection with the Moffat road,
it is stated, is to be made in Grand
county. The line will extend to Grand
lake, thence to Walden, Larimer
county; thence to Fort Collins or
Loveland, or both; thence to Hahn's
of the state. The vote for the amend
mont thus enlarging the plans was
practically unanimous at meeting of
the stockholders held few days ago
in Boulder.
The Waltemeyer interests own the
Bueno mine at Jimtown, and have
about completed big cyanide mill
and other buildings upon the property.
They also own big sawmill in Routt
county.
1t is understood that a large sum
of money is on hand for the immediate
construction of the railroad, and the
project, consequently, has attracted n
great deal of attention among the rail
way men OF the state.

A 4E' E${H ,EEE ES|AI Ii, ASK SQUARE DEAL
Third Ward Candidates, Defeated i'm
Last Caucus, Call Upon Chairman
Luther of Police Commission.
Don't Want Crowd Near Ballot
Box-Dunn Got a Square Deal at
the Last Caucus, Says Gamer.

Alderman Dunn, Warden Cassidy OF the
Third ward and John ]. oNeil, former
chairman OF the Democratic city com
mittee. had a conference this morning
with Chairman william II. Luther of the
Police commission, at which II is said
that Alderman Dunn was the spokesman.
Chairman Luther, after the conference,
sdid that the keynote OF Alderman
Dunn's remarks was that he wanted the
police detailed To the Third ward tomor-
row night at the Democratic caucus to
give a square deal 10 every faction. He
was assured by Mr.. Luther that the
police would be instructed TO do so, and
he was told also that no complaint had
been made that they did not do so at the
caucus of few days ago.
Chairman Luther when asked by q
News-Democrat reporter IL Alderman
Dunn objected 10 the presence OF so many
police at the caucus. and especially to the
presence OF Patrolman Gillian, replied that
Mr.. Dunn did not seem to object to those
features
WANTS WATCHERS KEPT BACK.
When asked IL Mr.. Dunn objected to
policemen standing at the ends OF the
warden's enclosing rail or to stationing
men in any similar way, Mr.. Luther said
that the alderman was rather general
than specific as to what he wanted to be
done. but that he understood that Mr..
Dunn wanted the police to stand be-
tween the rail by which the voters pass
the ballot box, and the crowd. thus leav-
ing space between the crowd and the
voters In llne and that he wanted police
men entitled TO vote at the caucus to
have the privilege TO do so.
Chairman Luther said he told Mr.. Dunn
that the police assigned To the caucus
would be instructed. as at the other eau
Gus. that IL any OF them were entitled to
vote at the caucus they could do so II
II did not interfere with police duty. but
police duty must come before voting. and
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-10-14

that Police Capt. Mowry shall be the
Judge as to the police duty and its per-
tormance.
POLICE TAKE NO SIDES.
The police will also be instructed to
take no sides between the factions, but TO
give all voters a square deal.
AS to the method OF stationing the po-
lice within tho ward room. Mr.. Luther
says, that not knowing how the ward
room 10 laid out he will confer with Capt.
MONTY. and. as he may suggest. that
plan will probably be followed.
The policing OF the Third ward and the
other wards will probably be by the same
number OF captains. leutenants. SER
geants and patrolmen as were IN attend
anoe at the previous caucuses and Chief
of Police Egan has been ordered 10 make
the details. and he will be governed large
ly by the orders given for details for the
other caucuses.
II would seem that the police will not
only give the square deal which Alderman
Dunn asks for himself but will give Il
to every other voter of the ward.
SOME COMMENT.
When the attention OF Joseph A.
Gainer, who Is opposing Aldermen Dunn
In the ward. was called 10 the alderman's
action this morning he said: 'IIe got Just
as square deal as we did at the last
caucus. Tho police were on the level and
did their duty importially. That Is all we
asked that time and all we desire this
time. We shall not squeal II we are beat
en-. as Dunn did the last time"
John w. Hogan said: $50 they want
square deal. thought they got 1t at the
last caucus. We we're perfectly satisfied
with II. IT was very orderly and / cannot
see how any man could feel that he did
not get q square deal so far as the action
OF the police was concerned"
ut looks to me like another squeal. this
time In advance" said another Third
warder today. 'Tt may mean the pre-
ilminar. TO some contemplated action by
the alderman and his caucus officcrs."
