ATTEMPT TO
BURN HOME
RESIDENCE OF FRED GREENBECk
VISITED LATE AT NIGHT AND
OIL SPREAD UPON FLOOR.
Fire Started in Front Room, but the
Flames Were Snothered for Want
of Air, and Mischief Discovered
When Ho%usehoIders Return From
Party-Police at Work.

The police of the city are inclined to
believe that a attempt was made be-
tween $50 and IL o'clock last night
to "do up Fred Greenbeck and burn
his house, and they are working on
that theory today to solve the mystery
surrounding the case. Greenbeck was
assaulted a few nights ago by a negro,
John Robinson, who is in jail awaiting
trial for the assault, and the police are
inclined to the belief that friends of
Robinson are at the bottom of the plot.
Away at a Party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Greenbeck were call
ing last night, leaving about 8 o'clock
and taking their children to the home
of their grandmother, at Second and
Custer streets. When they returned
10 their home, 500 First, about II
O'Clock, they found hat the house had
been broken into, a large amount OF
coal oil spilled on the floors of all the
rooms but one, and that a fire a
beer started in the front room. En-
trance was effected through a rear
window, which had been forced open
Oil From the Lamps.
The lamps in the house were emp
tied of their oil, the hanging lamp be-
ing pulled down and emptied and left
lying on the floor. When Mr.. Green
beck returned from the party and
opened the front door of the house his
foot came in contact with an empty
oil can and he and his wife smelled
the odor of the fire. 1t was found that
fire had been started in the front room
a large hole having been burned In
the floor, but the lack Of air smothered
the flames and the fire had gone out.
Train of Oil Laid.
1t was found that the oil had been
poured on the floor Of each in
the house except one, trails OF the
fluid having been placed through the
different doorways, so that, had the
fire gained Roadway, the flames would
have spread to the whole house and
the fire department would have beer
practically helpless. The house is Of
frame and belongs to Mrs. Christin;

REPORT OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
GIVING RESULT OF MINING
FOR METALS IN 1905.
That Year, Colorado Leading state
With Production of twenty-five
M~ilIions-Wyoming Gold Mines In
creasing output.

tNNAA ~ @AN
Washington, Jan. 24.-ln the report
of the geological survey just issued,
and covering the production of gold
and silver in 1905, a general increase
in all of the mineral states is noted.
In California, the states production of
gold reached $~19,l97,1OO. while the pro-
duction Of silver was valued at $780,
O2O-a decided decrease, tracable to
the lessened output in Kern and Shas-
ia counties.
Colorado Has Heavy Yield.
Colorado in that year showed a note
worthy addition of more than one mil.
lion dollars to the previous years gold
production, the total output a~ggregat,
ing $25,7O1,1 100. The increased output
is credited to Teller, Gilpin and ouray
counties. A marked decrease in silver,
by ounces, is traced to Lake, Mineral,
Clear Creek and San Juan counties.
In southeastern Missouri 10, 800 ounces
Of silver was extracted from the lead
ores, the value of which is fixed at
$7,S69.
Six Millions in south Dakota.
The Black hills Of South Dakota
about held their own, the total yield
of gold for the year being S6,913, 800.
Washington showed an increase OF s42,-
100 in gold production, bringing the to-
tai up to $4,000. The increase was
due mainly to mines in Stevens, Perry
and Whatcom counties.
An Increase in Wyoming.
The gold production of Wyoming In

over the previous year Of $4,000.

NOT DOING
G|GGL|NG
MATTER OF CHANGE OF DISTRICT
TERMINAL SERIOUS ONE FOR
DISCUSSION.
"Stove Committee" and "Switch Shan
ty" Conferences Not Being Held
and Attempts to Make Light of 1t
Frowned Upon-chief Clerk At
Rolling Mills Tenders Resignation.

Railroad men generally are doing a
good deal of commenting on the story
printed in these columns yesterday
concerning the possibility of the trans.
fer of the passenger district terminal
from Cheyenne to Laramie, but none
of them are laughing at the matter.
Those of Cheyenne who have discussed
it say there is a possibility, and that
some of the parties interested would
not welcome the change, but all to a
man say that the logical conclusion is
that given voice by The Republican.
An operator who has spent much time
in Cheyenne recently says it is common
talk there, it being asserted as a fore.
gone conclusion that when the Athol
hill cutoff has been completed and
placed in commission trains Nos. 3 and
5, arriving here at l and lis p. m, re-
s%pectively, will be made up here in,
stead of at Cheyenne, in connection
with the train from Denver.
Stones All Marked.
There may be plenty of stove COM
mittee" and switch shanty" in the
report, some of the men say, but they
expect it to come to pass. One con-
ductor this morning f%acetiously re-
marked that the bridge and building
department has numbered each stone
of the elegant station at Cheyenne, so
that the building could be torn down
and rebuilt here, but a conductor from
Cheyenne made the remark that such
talk vas foolish, and thought the sub
ject ought to be changed.
AS to Hospital Talk.
1t developed this morning that an
offer had been made to the medical de-
partment of the Union Pacific for the
erection of a hospital here il the rail-
road company would agree to equip it
and operate it, %conceding certain other
contingencies encompassing the offer.
1t is certain that the operation of st.
JOseph's hospital by Sisters of Char
ity, as under a former regime, has
been under discussion by parties inter
ested. Either contingency may come
as the result, but it is almost a fore
gone conclusion that the railroad COM
pany will make some provision for car
ing for emergency patients at this
point.

Harry Maynard and Larry Fee have
blood on their hands, or, rather, had
blood on their hands. for. being good
Christians, they wash their hands at
meal time. They took life last night
and are proud of it. Deputy Sheriff
Thirkeldsen knows of the transaction
and neither man has been arrested.
Last night Mr.. Maynard heard a com
motion in his chicken coop, and he
and Mr.. Fee sailed forth to see the
cause of the trouble. They found
. trouble-the bloodless remains of six
choice chickens, three ducks and a pet
goose belonging to the Maynard chill
dren, whose eyes are hardly dry even
now of weeping. The chickens had
been slain. The slayer was not to be
found. The remaining chickens had
huddleG into a corner of the coop and
Mr.. Fee, in getting them out to pre-
vent their smothering, laid his hands
upon a coyote. Justify calling for
help and clinging for dear life to the
''varmint," Nh. Maynard with a bullet
from his trusty gun laid the partial
of the desert cold in death. There's
no telling what will become of tht
