More Dirt Moved Than In Panama.

More Dirt Moved Than In Panama.
Denver.-For those who have paid
little attention to the fact that the
Western Pacific, the last link in the
Gould trans-continental railway sys-
tenn, is actually under construction
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco,
it may be educational to learn that
each month the workmen who are pre-
pairing the road bed for this new line
shift more earth than is being re-
moved at the Panama canal. Western
Pacific officials are responsible for the
statement that the company Is exca-
waiting more dirt and rock along the
route in California and Nevada every
month than is the case on the Pan
anna canal job. In July the railroad
company excavated 1,372,831 cubic
yards, while the Panama canal report
for the same mouth shows 1,O4S,776
cubic yards. In August the Panama
canal contractors excayated 1.274. .444
cubic yards. The work on the rail-
road for that time. the ofiicials state,
will amount to fully 1,524,000 cubic
yards.
The Western Pacific Railroad Com
pany is huge concern. The chief
engineer stated recently that S,298
men are employed and that 1000 more
are needed. The monthly expenses
are 100000 and track laying Is pro.
crossing at three different points.

Not far from Golden. on the banks
of small stream which finds its way
from the foothills into the plains,
there lives a man, ]. NJ. Young by
name, who, though now living alone
in a tumbledown shack and existing
through the few dollars month
which the county allots him, was once
a partner of such men as Jim Bridger.
Jim Baker, Kit Carson and others of
the old-timers, some of whom became
wealthy and lost their fortune as soon
as it was acquired, while others took
care of their wealth and became dis
tinguished citizens of the state.
Young is familiar figure about the

Bridger on his famous trip when the
latter first pointed out to the Fre-

Clothes.

In response to a petition from the
sailors, the secretary of the navy has
sA0pUiRted a committee to recommend
changes in the uniform of the men.

against the fiaring trousers, as the
fare makes it easy to roll up the legs
when the sailors scrub the decks. The

.s...*s++***+*+

Four internal machines, each con-
tanning enough dynamite and powder
TO kill fifty men, were received through
the mail by Charles B. Kountze. presi-
dent of the Colorado National Bank;
Lawrence Phipps, millionaire philan-
thropist; Gov. Henry A. Buchtel and
David H. Moffat, president of the First
National bank. Except for the C lever
work of Chief of Police Michael
A. Delaney and Detectives Timothy
Connor, John Kenney, Daniel Delaney
and w. White and Pinkerton Superin-
tendent Frank Cary, in solving the
case, all of the above men, together
with Edward Chase, near whose resi-
dence wholesale consignment of ex-
plosives was found Sunday night,
might have been blown to atoms.
Bigelow, who comes of a good family
in Bryan, Ohio, where he has a sweet
heart, but who in Denver was a store
clerk earning IS week, Sunday night
went to the police with a fantastic tale
of two men who had plotted the whole
sale assassinations, yesterday, through
the efforts of Chief of Police MI
chael A. Delaney and others, con
fessed that he alone was respon-
sible for the attempt at wholesale
murder, and his recital of the details
showed that he hoped by exposing the
imaginary plots to murder to gain the
confidence and good will of wealthy
men. He asserts that he meant no
harm and believed that his story tod
to Policeman Sellers Sunday night
would warn the men whose lives were
threatened and preclude any possibility
of their opening the deadly internal
machines addressed to them. The fact
that the men addressed do not open
their own mail and that people un-
known to him would suffer never en-
tered the shallow brain of the young
man.
"a Need Money" Only Reason.
II needed the money" seemed to be
his only reason for the attempted mur-
der.
BY choosing the mails as a means of
transporting his destructive agents
Bigelow will be held for trial under the
federal statutes, and it is not probable
that he can hope for mercy.
In working on the case the detectives
gained evidence of startling nature
and which serves to show beyond 4
scintilla of doubt that he is guilty. 1t
was this evidence, thrust in the face
of the prisoner. so to speak, that
caused him to confess. This evidence
also brought to light the fact that
Bigelow was scapegoat in his fam
lily flock; that he was forced to leave
Bryan, Ohio, his birthplace, because oi
trouble which he had had with his
father, A. l.. Bigelow. a school superin
tendent, through vicious habits, and
that he had sweetheart named Edith
in Bryan, to whom he had sent expen
sive presents out of the kendrick sta
tionery store, where he worked, and TO!
which he never paid.
Watched Him Mail Bombs.
The strongest piece of evidence
against Bigelow besides his confession
is the fact that through clever tricr
of the local and Pinkerton detectives
he was shadowed and seen to mail tho
bombs to the men whom he had warned
the police would be assassinated. Ir
his confession Bigelow insists that he
mailed the bombs Sunday, and this
point was allowed to slide by the chief

RICH BLOOD THE
 SECRET OF HEALTH
Druggist E. G. Fowler Strongly Recommends Vinol for the Blood.

'The blood should have ninety-five per cent red corpuscles. With a less amount come weakness. sickness and suffering
 We see every day on our streets many people whose faces nlainly show impure, impoverished blood
 We want everybody In Montgomery to know that Vinol purifes, vitaIizes and enriches the blood, increases the red corpuscles and creates strength
 This is because Vinol contains in a highly concentrated form all the medI- einal. blood making and body building elements of cod liver oil actually. taken from fresh cods' flyers, the useless oil eliminated. and tonic iron, needful constituent for the blood. added
 We guarantee Vinol will purify ana enrich the blood, create strength, and bI-+id up every rundown person in Montgomery or return the money in every case where it fails" E. c. Tow Ter, Druggist.
 Note-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Montgomery. it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country Look for the Vinol agency in your town.
