CASHIERS CHECKS Foa MONEY
Denver Banks Will Use Certified
Checks in Place Of
Currency.

Denver.-So that there may be
as little inconvenience as possible
to the public, the Denver Clear
ing House Association through its
afiiliated banks have decided to is
sue cashiers checks for small de-
nominations. These checks, in sums
Of IS, SO and 500. can be used in the
ordinary affairs of business and will
be supplemental to the original plan
adopted by the clearing house to issue
certified checks to depositors instead
of cash in large amounts until such
time as the eastern banks open their
vaults and pay their balances in cur
rency or specie. The new plan OF is-
suing the smaller checks was recon-
mended by President David II. Moffat
of the First National Bank, who has
returned to the calm of Denver after
Witnessing the storm in New York. IL
has been in use for some time in
number of cities further east and has
worked we'll Mr. Moffat brings hope
and announcement to the people OF
Denver and Colorado. Normal condi-
tions will soon be restored with little
impairment to the nation at large or
to the sound financial institutions of
the country that are content to do an
honest business.
After a meeting of the Clearing
House Association the following Off
cial statement of the new step was
given out:
'At a meeting of the Denver Clear
ing House Association held Monday
night it was decided that each bank
should issue its cashiers checks in
the denominations of S5, $40 and 500,
respectively, payable to bearer. These
cashiers checks to pass as circulating
medium during the present monetary
stringency. These checks are to be
secured by a deposit of approved col
lateral in the hands of the Denver
Clearing House association.
"The custom of issuing cashiers
checks in small denominations to be
used as circulating medium has been
adopted in the cities generally all
over the United States. But so far
as is known Denver is the only city
which has adopted the plan with the
security feature.
"A committee has been named by
the Denver Clearing House Associa-
ton, consisting of one member from
each of the clearing house banks,
whose duty it will be to examine the
securities offered and place a value
upon the same and on such securities
as it approves it will authorize the
bank making the deposit to issue cash
iers' checks up to certain amount,
that amount being largely within the
market value of the securities. These
checks in addition to being signed by
an officer of the bank will be registered
and signed by an officer of the Denver
Clearing House Association"

Cash Needed to Move Grain.

Grand Forks, S. D.-Senator Hans
brough has sent the following tele-
gram to President Roosevelt:
Fully 150,000,000 bushels of grain
are no wready to De marketed in the
two Dakotas and Minnesota, and there
is no money with which to do it. The
necessities of tne Northwest are,
therefore, much greater than in any
other section of the country, demand
ing the fullest consideration at the
hands of the treasury department.
Ten million dollars placed in Twin
City banks would raise the embargo
and start grain shipments to Europe.
This would relieve the financial stress
in the East much quicker than de-
posit of treasury funds in New York.
Treasury relief operations should
have been begun here, where the con-
gestion is greatest. Our people are
not losing their heads. They have no
fear of panic, but in this crop now
in season our business men should
have special consideration"

Believe 1t Was Murder.

Durango.-Excitemen over the
shooting of Joseph A. Walker of the
government secret service, Sunday, is
subsidins, but the tragedy is still the
chief topic of conversation. Walkers
companions insist that he was muir
dered in cold blood, while friends of
Superintendent Mason declare he
would not be a party to anything of
that nature. The coroner and two
physicians held post mortem exam
nation of the remains of Walker but
refused to give out their findings.
District Attorney Pulliam has filed
information against Mason and Van
derweide, charging them with murder.
They were arrested and jailed and will
be held to await the result of the cor
oner's inquest. Denver agents of the
government assert that Walker was
murdered and offer many arguments
in support of their claim.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nov. 4.
Conditions in the cattle market
early here last week were about as
bad as they could well be. Eastern
markets were denoralized and bids
here. when made at all, were way be-
low last weeks figures. Later in the
week there was better demand and
some reaction In values though prices
are still about a quarter lower than a
week ago and SOC lower than two
weeks ago. A gratifying feature of
the weeks trade was the fact that a
great many country buyers were here,
attracted by the low prices prevailing
and they purchased literally towards
the close of the week All offerings
were sold and the market closed in
much better shape than it opened.
Beef steers went to packers largely
at $3.45@$3-s0 with fancy kinds quot
able up to $500. A few choice cows
sold at $3.50 but most of the fair to
good grades brought $2.35@s2.75.
medium at $1.S5@$2.30 and poorer
stuff from $1.75 down. Bulls were
lower at $2.0O@$2.50. Choice yeais in
good demand and nearly steady as
few were offered. Heavy veals and
stock calves lower. Feeders and
stockers sold mostly at S3.00@$3.75
with few buncEes of good cnes at
$3.50 hat and $3.50 freight paid. A
large number were purchased during
the week to go to Nebraska, Kansas
and Northern Colorado feed lots. In
dications point to light receipts of cat
tie this week and some reaction in the
direction of higher prices Eastern
markets are quoted 50c@75c lower
than two weeks ago
Hog receipts were very light-much
lighter than expected and the demand
towards the close was very good. The
market gained 15c to 20c during the
week and bulk of hogs are now quot
able here at $5.55@$5.7O.
The sheep supply was over 10000
last week and very good volume of
trading done. Eastern markets are
off SOC to $1.00 from a week ago and
prices here are lower in sympathy.

Walker TRAGEDY.

Washington. Although two men
have surrendered, claiming that they,
in self-descnse, killed Secret Service
Agent John A. Walker at the entrance
of mine at Durango Sunday, Chief
John E. Willde of the secret service
said this morning that he was con
vinced from such details as are at hand
that the killing was nothing less than
cold blooded murder. Chief Wilkie to-
day received partial report of the af
fair by telegraph. In speaking Of the
death of Agent Walker, he said:
Il am informed that Mr.. Walker with
three assistants, named Callahan,
Chapson and Harper, went to the Hes
perus mine, owned by the Porter Fuel
Company and controlled by the Union
Pacific railway, to make certain inves-
tisation. The three men were lowered
into the shaft, and Agent Walker re-
mained on top. When the three men
were ready to ascend the rope they
found no line at the bottom of the
shaft, it having been cut above. They
made their way with difficulty to the
top and upon arriving above ground
found Walkers body. He had received
two bullets, one on the left side of the
neck, another had entered his back
When the party reached Durango with
the body, seven miles away, they
found that two men by the
name of Mason and Wander
weide had preceded them and deliv-
cred themselves to the authorities.
The men claimed that they were out
hunting and passed the mine Walker,
they said, had ordered them to throw
up their hands and when they refused
to do SO, they claim that Walker shot
at them. Vanderweide said that he re-
turned the fire. killing Walker.
Il discredit this story. Walker was
not man who was looking for trou-
Bile, and there is no reason why he
should have objected to the hunters
passing the mine"

DECISION OF
SUPREME C0UGT
AFFECTS POWERS OF HUMANE
SOCIETY IN CARING FOR NEG
LEcTED STOCK.
CAN'T GET FEED BILL
SOCIETY WILL HAVE TO PROSE
CUTE OWNERS INSTEAD. OF
CARING FOR ANIMALS.

Denver-According to an opinion
handed down by the Supreme Court
Monday the officers of the Board of
Child and Animal Protection will have
to exert other efforts to cause stock
owners to care for their animals than
the method heretofore employed.
In the future the Humane Society
will not have the right to take up starv-
ing cattle on the range and after feed
ing and sheltering them, hold the own
ers for the expense of keeping the cat
tie.
There were two cases which in
volved the question. In both of them
Efie jerks, humane agent in Canon
City, was plaintiff against w. Stump
in one case and W. ]. and J. T. Witcher
in the other. The cases have been ap-
pealed from the District Court of Ere
mont county.
Miss jerks found the cattle on the
plains to the south of Canon City. They
were in a desperate condition from the
want of water and food. She took the
animals to shelter and fed them. Stump
claimed the cattle and would not stand
good for the payment of the food "a
shelter. The case went to the coufs
and tho District Court ruled that the
defendant did not have to pay the costs
of the keep of the stock.
Such was the Stump case, and that
of the Witchers was identical.
The casese were appealed and JUS
tice Caswell. who gave the opinion, has
confirmed the decision of the lower
court. In the opinion handed down the
court questions whether the agent OF
the society should be allowed to take
up cattle on his own initiative simply
ha N re ic
ing, no one else being consulted, and
of holding the owner liable for the
costs.
The law says that when the Humane
Society shall provide neglected animals
with food, shelter and care it may hold
such animals until the expenses in the
keep of the animals are paid by the
owners.
The opinion goes on to say that the
agent is, under the statute, the final ar
bitter and has to consult no tribunal nor
even the owner before taking up the
cattle.
There is no penalty for a failure of
the agent to return any of the proceeds
from the sale of the animals to the
owner and the only redress he has is
in the courts. The court has ruled that
there is question whether public ne
cessity demands summary action, and
when it does not notice should be sent
to the owner of the property and oppor-
tunity given before some court to de-
rermine the truth of the allegations.
The ruling makes null and void the
statute in question. Concerning the
matter Secretary Whitehead of the Bu-
reau of Child and Animal Protection,
said:
ut seems to me, from what / know
Of the case that in the future we will
have to pursue the course of prosecut-
ing the owners first and not taking in
the stock. The delay will give time for
the animals to die"
