Union Pacific Cutoff a Certainty.

Denver.-The long rumored cutoff
to be constructed by the Union Pasific
between Denver and Cheyenne at a
cost of about 81 100000 has at last been
decided upon and camps are now being
established with the expectation OF
having the new line completed before
the first of the year. The cutoff will
be seventeen miles long, starting near
Carr and running northeast to Borie,
Wyo., three miles south of Corlett, con-
Meeting with the Wyoming division
four and one-half miles west of Chey-
enne. 1t will eliminate the principal
curves and heavy grades between Den
yer and Cheyenne.
The work in some sections will be
unusually heavy. There will be 220-
600 cubic yards of roadbed excavation
necessary and there will be 10000 Gu
bic yards of solid rock to be removed.
In addition to this there will be 100000
cubic yards of embankment. The larg
est fill will be 2,700 feet long and As
feet high. When completed three new
stations will be established on the new
line. The cutoff will enable the COM
pany to operate between Denver and
the west at a considerable saving over
former cost on account of the heavy
grade over Athol hill.

Japs Try to Steal Indian Wives.

San Francisco.-Employes of the
Alaska Packers Association who re-
turned here upon the ship Star of
Chile bring the report that number
of Japanese cannery hands at Egegk
made raid upon an Indian village
near that camp last June and attempt
ed to carry off several of the native
women.
The Japanese evidently believed the
men of the settlement were out fish
ing, but in this they were mistaken,
for after the raiders had caught and
gagged two or three of the women they
were discovered by a number of bucks,
who set up a loud howl and at once
proceeded to repel the Japanese.
In attempting to get away with the
captives the Japanese are said to have
run between two hills where the snow
was deep and rapid travel was impos-
sible.
This proved their undoing, for the
Indians descended upon them with
guns and clubs and would have killed
the six or eight raiders if the latter
had not deserted their victims and
hurried off. The Indians later, it is
said, made complaint to the men in
charge of the cannery camp.

JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
NobIeman Had Never Tried.

The earl of Surrey, afterward elev-
enth duke of Norfolk, who was a no.
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and leading member of the Beef
steak club, was so far from cleanly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his fits of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent. by
the way-for the purpose OF wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would a corpse
and performed the needful ablutions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror of clean linen. One day, on
his complaining to Dudley North at
his club that he had become a per-
feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
pray, my lord, did you ever try
q clean shirt?"

CENT GIRL.

YOUTH PLACES MUzZLE OF GUN

PULLS TRIGGER.

Denver.-Playfully pointing a revol,
yer which he didn't know was loaded
at the head of the girl whom he was
to marry within few weeks, William
Lisle Anderson pulled the trigger and
sent bullet through the head of Miss
Edna Galloway. killing her Instantly.
The accident occurred at the home of
j. M. Ellis. 1451 Madison street, in the
presence of many guests.
Both Anderson and the girl whom he
killed lived in Kansas City, and were
visitors at the Ellis home.
According to the story told by T. NJ.
Ellis to the coroner, he and Anderson
were down town until II O'Clock at
night. Returning home, they found sew
eral young women friends of the family
had dropped in to call, and that in a
spirit of fun some Of the party had hid
den the pajamas belonging to Anderson
and Ellis. Ellis says he suggested that
they make a pretense of forcing the
women to give up the pajamas at the
point of a revolver. He secured an
automatic gun, and remarked to Alder
son that he would remove the magazine
SO there would be no danger. cart
ridge. however, it seems, had slipped
from the magazine into the firing cham
the gun at his sweetheart's head, and,
demanding the pajamas, pulled the
trigger he sent a bullet into her head.
The police were NOT notified, but
word was sent to Coroner Rollins, who,
satisfied that it was an accident, per-
mitted the body to remain at the Ellis
home.

and the services of physician were
necessary to quiet him.

Alderson's hands when it was fired,
Mrs. Ellis said that both Ellis and Al
derson had the gun, and that, she be-
lieves that Ellis pulled the trigger. Mrs.
Ellis also says that the only persons

supplies by their employer, determined
to become bad men.

Denounnces Tyranny of Federal Courts

Lincoln, Neb.-Because of the re.
straining order granted by Judge Nun.
ger of the Federal Court to prevent the
railway commission from promulgating
a new grain-rate schedule, Governor
George L. Sheldon declared himself in
favor of q constitutional amendment
taking from the federal courts the
right to enjoin state officials from en-
forcing state laws.
Il believe the federal courts have
abused the privilege of Injunction
enough to justify such action" he said.
TOO many state laws have been tied
up by the interference of the federal
courts. do not believe the makers of
the constitution ever contemplated
such use of the injunction in the hands
Of the federal courts"

Supervising Engineer Howland this

Governor allows the loan provided for

The work is going ahead rapidly now
and we are making wonderful pro-

fast since the dam was started as they
are moving now.
But we are n,arly out of money.
There is very little of the original
appropriation left, and il the new Gov

completion OF the work it will have to
stop soon.
"Of course, | do not know what
Governor Frear will do after he is
inaugurated. but | do not see how we
can afford to let the work stop at this
stage of the game. All the vitals of
the dam are in now and the most i'm
portant and expensive part of the
work Is done. We have already spent
sbout $13O,O0O.
IF the work were to be stopped
now the Territory would suffer con-
siderable loss. There would be a
large amount of deterioration in that
part Of the work already completed.
Grass and weeds and other forms of
vegetation would spring up quickly
nnd cause much injury to the dam.
