costing $65. 900. Another turbine of the
same cost and size Will be Installed In
two weeks. These two great engines
will furnish 6.500-horse power for the
running OF an electric line from Den

The grade for the electric road is
now practically complete, parallelins

Fire Burned Eighteen Months now Out

Trinidad, Colo-The fire which
burned for one and one-half years in
the Engleville mine has been COM
pletely extinguished. An official an
nouncement was made today by the of
ficers of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company. who made a personal trip
of inspection.
The fire broke out in May, 1906, and
was supposed to have been of incen-
diary origin. An eighteen-year old
Mexican boy, Martinez. was tried on
the charge of arson, but was acquitted
on the ground that the fire was acci-
dental. He fell asleep, and the fire
was supposed to have been started by
his lamp. An area Of over 1000 feet
wGs burned over.
Every available method of extin-
gushing mine fires was tried without
success, when finally the late John
Kebler. then general manager OF the
G. F. & l.. gave the idea of fighting the
blaze with carbonic acid gas. A plant
was constructed at the mouth of the
mine, and the gas was piped in a dis
tance of one and one-half miles, and
the experiment proved successful.

VIII Help Key Men.

Los Angeles. Cal.-The most sue
cessful benefit ever given in Los An
geles to any cause in which labor was
concerned was concluded at the Audi
torium theater, the largest and most
beautiful of its kind on the coast, and
the striking commercial telegraphers
of southern California are $4,000
richer. The house was packed, the up
permost galleries. which have seldom
been opened to occupancy in this new
playhouse, being filed. Almost every
theater in the city donated at least one
act. and enough high-class talent was
secured to give performance of three
and one-half hours.
The local telegraphers entered on
the eighth week of their struggle for
better working conditions, the strike
which Is now prevalent over the entire
country having its inception here Of
1cers of the local union declare there
have been only three desertions during
that entire epriod. The local treasury
Is now in better shape than at any
time previous to the strike.
The telegraphers are receiving dona-
tions from almost every labor body in
the city. and the strikers are paid
weekly benfits sufficient to meet cur
rent living expenses, declare the Off
GERS, and the sentiment most often ex-
pressed among the members is that a
settlement will come soon and spoil
their va cation.

WEALTHY FARMER is KILLED.
Bloody Battle Between Farmers Nea

last night, William Davis, Sr., wal

ant on one of his farms The Other
party to the trouble was William Da

THROAT OF KANSAS GIRL CUT.
Mystery Surrounds the Affair and
Opinion Is Divided.

lola. Kans.-Miss May Sipp, the
man who lives with his family in the
little town of Moran. ten miles east
of here. in this county, was found dead
with her throat cut in the back yard
of the family home last night. The
townspeople are divided in their the
ories regarding the case. Some as
sert that 1t is case of murder. while
others say 1t might be suicide.
Miss Sipp was an unusually pretty
young woman. She had admirers. but
none who called upon her so con-
stantly that 1t could be termed a love
affair. She was twenty-five years old
and in excellent health. Because she
had not, SO far as anyone knew. ever
been engaged, she was regarded as
rather peculiar girl, when her
wealth and beauty were taken into
consideration.
At dinner last night the young
woman chatted with her father and
mother and appeared to be in the best
of spirits. Later the father went down
to the postoffice for the mail and the
mother busted herself about the house.
The daughter stepped out In the back
yard. 1t was about 7:15 o'clock. She

gone from her side two minutes, when
she heard scream of Mother!
Mother!"
The mother rushed into the yard and
found her daughter lying in pool OF
blood. She apparently was dead
when the mother reached her. side. At
first nothing was found. but later in
the night, about ten feet from where
the body lay. was found a razor which
bore the name of Montgomery Ward
& Co.
The razor was closely examined and
here the mystery deepens. There was
not trace of blood upon the handle
or blade. This was a great surprise to
the coroner. who had arrived short
time before. and the theorists began
to speculate upon the possibility of
the murderer, If 1t were a case of muir
der, having had two razors. The cor
oner says II the cuts were small ones
they would not necessarily leave traces
OF blood upon the blade. but where
the entire throat was cut, severing all
the veins. II would be probable that
stains would remain upon the blade or
handle. The murder theory is given
its greatest weight. however, from the
fact that the clothes OF the young
woman were torn and she had been
cut upon the hands as If a struggle
had ens1ed.

Fire Destroys May Flower.

Telluride, Colo.-The boarding
house, kitchen. bunkhouse and shaft
house of the May Flower mine. in Bri-
dal Vein basin, six miles southeast OF
Telluride. together with all their con-
tents, were totally destroyed by fire,
causing a loss of $4,000. The insur-
ance is $4,000.
The money loss is not the most seri-
GUS feature of the fire, for the open

building before next spring may be out
of the question.
The company had been working

is in jail, charged with the crime. The
shooting is said to have been entirely
without provocation. at least SO far as
Bills was concerned Feeling against
Thorpe is very bitter and an attempt
may be made before morning to lynch
him. The Jail is being guarded by a
large number of police officers to pre-
vent any violence.
Thorpe, Alexander and Bills were
at the Midland Terminal depot, solicit
ing business among the incoming pas
sengers. Bad blood had existed be-
tween Alexander and Thorpe for three
years. Thorpe was In an ugly mood
and some declare he had been drink
ing heavily during the evening.
When the train pulled in two men
alishted and accosted the expressmen.
asking them for information concern
ing hotels and the charge for hauling
baggage. Alexander and Thorpe an
swered at the same time and each
tried to elbow the other out of the
way. In a twinkling the men were
using bad language toward each other.
and in another second. they were en-
gagged in a fistfight.
They fell part way down an embank-
ment and suddenly three shots rang
out. Bills, who was standing some six
or eight feet away. fell to the ground.
dead. with bullet through his heart.
A minute later Alexander cried out
that he had been shot A bullet had
entered his abdomen, resulting in an
internal hemorrhage and death in n
short time.
Just before he died Alexander made
short statement to Policeman
Charles Miller and a few others, in
which he insisted that Thorpe had
shot him during the fight. Alexander
also said that Thorpe had shot Bills.
The dying expressman said he was un-
armed at the time and that Thorpe
had no just provocation for shooting.
Peter Winning, who heard the first
shot fired. ran to where the men were
fighting and Witnessed the end of the
struggle. He says that Alexander had
Thorpe by the wrist and Thorpe was
trying to break away when the second
shot was fired. Just before the sec
ond shot was fired. the one that killed
Alexander, the men fell to the ground
and rolled down the steps leading to
Bennett avenue, distance of from
twelve to fifteen feet. The men fought
every step of the way down.
Thorpe made a statement to the eff
feet that Alexander shot Bills by ac-
cident and then during the fight with
Thorpe shot himself as they were
fighting on the steps.
Thorpe is about forty years old and
has a son nine years old.
Walter Alexander was about forty
six years old and married Besides a
widow, he leaves a son aged six years.
