SAYS AFFIDAVIT is FABRICATION
Denies Prosecution Is in Any Way Po-
litical Persecution.

Phoenix, AriZ.-Justus Goebel, a
brother of the late Governor Goebel of
Kentucky, residing in Phoenix, COM
menting on the affidavit made by a
woman in Richmond, Indiana. who al
leges that Governor Goebe was killed
by Turner Igo. at the instigation of
the son of John Sanford, says the
story is pure fabrication. He says the
facts as set forth in the affidavit are
SO al variance with the proved facts
that they cannot be considered.
He denies that the prosecution of
any person is political persecution.
He says that the only persons inter-
ested in the prosecution are himself
and his brother, Arthur. of Cincinnati,
and such friends as may aid them in
aTenging the death of the governor
They have no desire to convict an in
nocent man and thus shield the real
murderer. and for this reason they
have followed every reported clew,
each Of which. if not utterly discred-
tied. was finally traced back to Taylor
and Powers. Continuing, he said:
The prosecution, which has been
conducted without abatement of en-
thusiasm for eight years, will be con-
Quoted as long as there is Goebel,
young or old. alive, and until the guilty
parties have been brought to Justice.
We will get Governor Taylor sooner or
later. as he cannot always find an asy-
lum in Indiana"

NORTHERN COLORADO POWER
ETTE READY FOR BUSINESS.
TWO ELECTRIC LINES
NEW FEATURE INJECTED WHICH
WILL GIVE ADDED BENEFIT
TO PATRONS.

Denver-There has been Installed
at the Northern Colorado Power plant.
near Lafayette, an electric turbine
costing $4,000. Another turbine of the
same cost and size will be installed IN
two weeks. These two great engines
will furnish 6,5OO-horse power for the
running of an electric line from Den
yer through Northern Colorado as far
as Greeley.
At the same time President Barker
of the power company, who is also vice
president of the Denver Gas & Electric
Company. announced that, having Sc
cured a franchise for a street car line
in Cheyenne, he would be able to con-
struct the line with Denver and Colo
RADIO capital.
Thus two great enterprises are as
sured that require an Investment OF
several millions of dollars without ask
ing anything but legitimate private IN
vestment, with only returns promised
coming to investors through the oper-
alton of the companies.
The grade for the electric road is
now practically complete. paralleline
the Colorado & Southern tracks from
Denver as far as Louisville. Eighty
five pound rails necessary for the track
are now on their way to Denver, and
wire is being strung to carry the cur
rent. The system will be an overhead
trolley but feature never before used
will be plan of alternating currents,
which will conserve the power and give
greater facilities for the movement OF
business.
t is announced officially that trains
will be running over the road by
spring. The entire scheme has been
financed and the bonds floated.
The road will carry both passengers
and light express freight. The whole
plan has been carried through and the
money subscribed without appealing to
the moneyed interests of the state ex-
cepting in a legitimate way, offering
the investment privately for what it
may be worth as an investment

UNCLE SAM
MUST FIGHT
JAPAN SAID TO BE PREPARING
FOR A TILT WITH THE
UNITED STATES.
SEC. TAFT'S TRIP EYED
PAPER SAYS UNITED STATES is
REACHING OUT FOR MASTERY
OF THE PACIFIC.

st. Petersburg. = Secretary Taft's
tour of the world is being followed
with unusual interest here. The :;ov-
ernment is taking measures to sur
round the journey through Siberia and
European Russia with attentions usu-
ally observed for the rulers of states,
and the press is busily speaking on the
likelihood and advantage of a Russo
American convention, the object of
Mr.. Taft's visit to Russia being, it is
alleged, to negotiate an agreement be-
tween the United States and Russia.
The conviction prevails here that
war between Japan and the United
States is inevitable in the distant fu-
ture. The Novoe Vremya published an
article entitled THE New World Pow
err" picturing the marvellous growth of
America as sea power during Prosi-
dent Roosevelt's administration, warn
ing Itussian diplomacy mot to be
caught unawares by coming events"
and adding:
''The day when the United States
fleet passes out of the Straits of Ma.
gellan and sweeps proudly into the va
ters of the Pacific will open a new era
for the eastern world. Official cour-
tesies and the temporary lull in war
talk do not conceal the fact that Amer
lea is reaching out for the mastery OF
the Pacific and already is strong
enough to attain it.
"She entered the race for it in tho
spring of 1903, when Congress voted
the navy bill and the Panama bill both
essential to the object in view. With
out any noise except the ceaseless rum
BILE of machinery, the mighty nation
succeeded in forging a sea power al
ready including thirty-five battleships
and having its docks crowded with
many more war vessels. The American
people are not lured by the glamour of
mere display. The purposes are deeper.
Kindred of England, the Americans
creed is that commerce follows the
flag. Her object is incompatible with
mere desire for trade in the Far East.
England won the throne of the Atlantic
from Spain, Holland and France.
America is about to challenge her ri
val for the throne of the Pacific"

Peculiar Situation in Wills.

New York-The will of Paul Mac
Cormac, the clubman and automobile
list, who died from injuries received in
an automobile accident recently near
South Norwalk, Connecticut in which
his wife was killed, has been found in
the safe of A. c. Starita, his former
attorney. BY the terms OF the instru-
ment, Mrs. MacCormac was made the
sole beneficiary, but her death has
brought about an unusual situation.
Mrs. MacCormac, in her will, left
the bulk of her estate TO her husband.
She bequeathed $4,000 to be invested
in an annuity for Joseph Adler Con
verse. her eleven-year-old son by her
first husband, from whom she was di-
vorced. Mrs. MacCormac was killed
on August 25th. Her will was dated
February, 1905, and in It she left her
house in Connecticut to her second
husband and made him trustee for her
son, who is with his father. Charles
Converse.
Mr.. MacCormac died soon after his
wife. His will left all of his estate to
his wife without any stipulation as to
its disposal in case of her DEATH His
estate is estimated at about $500. .000
most of 1t invested in securities which
are believed 10 be in safe deposit
vault in this city. The MacCormacs
had no issue, so that now both estates
will be divided among relatives of Mr.
MacCormac.

Asmus Jury Disagrees.

Fort Morgan, Colo.-The jury in the
case of John Asmus and cara Moon,
charged with the murder of Robert Nc
Dowell reported to Judge Burke that
the members could not reach an agree
ment and the jury was discharged
The jury stood eight to Iour for ac-
quittal from the first and the count lid
not change throughout the entire delib-
erations. although ballot after ballot
was taken. The jurors in favor of &C
quittal were firm in their conviction.
and no amount of balloting or deliber-
alton would change them. and the four
on the other side were in the same
frame of mind as to changing their
votes.
The cost of the trial of the two men
has been enormous for Morgan county
and in view of the fact that the senti-
ment of the jury was in the ma.
jority for an acquittal many OK
press the opinion that there will not
be another trial of the case as the peo.
pie do not relish being saddled with
the expense of a second trial
Moon and Asmus were released on
$4,000 bail.
A new bond was required. which
was promptly furnished The jurors
In the case were discharged for the re-
mainder of the term. as Judge Burke
said that men who had sat on a case
for fifteen days and nights had earned
exemption for year.

their grief for the death of their nine.
teen-year-old son year ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Maurice Helm, a middle-agcd
couple who were deeply devoted to
each other, ended their lives together

ton, they removed the tip from a gas
jet in their bedroom and lay down side
by side on two coats that had been
drawn closely together Thus they
were found dead, their hands clasping
in last embrace.
One of the letters was addressed ITO
Whom 1t May Concern" and read:
Nobody is to be blamed for our act
We died voluntarily. 1t is our desire
to cross the bar together. Since the
death of our much-beloved and highly
talented son, with whom all our hopes
were buried, life has indeed not been
worth the living for us. The sun had
set and overhead was nothing but n
cold gray sky. We have become use
less and supcrfluous, wherefore afte-
due consideration We have deemed it
advisable to disappear together from
the surface of the earth,
The letter was signed Mrs. Maurice
Helm, nee Annie Lowe. fifty years old,
and Maurice Helm, fifty-two years old,
and it was blotted as If by tears.

Ate Postmaster,s Profit.

Douglas, Wyo.-The little postoffice
at Hampshire is to be discontinued for
the reason that the postmaster could
no longer afford to feed the people that
came for their mail. The Hampshire
postoffice is located at the ranch of the
Laramie Mountain Sheep Company and
was established for the convenience of
neighboring ranch owners and their
employees.
In short time the business of the
postoffice has grown TO considerable
proportions as to incoming mail, but
the sale of stamps, from which the
postmaster derived his income, only
amounted to about 50 a week AS is
customary, neighbors calling for their
mail remained to one or more meals,
aggregating, according to the manager
of the ranch, who is also postmaster,
about $500 per year in victuals con-
sumed.
AT meeting of the stockholders of
the sheep company, one of whom is
Mrs. Kate Turner, wealthy Cheyenne
widow, 1t was decided that 1t was

Denver.-The present depression in
the copper market is caused by the
concerted action of European consum.
ers, according to the opinion of e. A.
Norton of Denver, and the metal will
shortly find it's price level. which ne
places at from 20 to % cents. Mr. Nor
ton is interested with English and
New York and Virginia capitalists in
the ownership of the Wyoming
Copper Company, operating large prop
critics at Encampment, near the Wyo-
ming-Colorado line in the North park
country.
THE average price of copper for
twenty-five years was lax cents" said
Mr.. Norton, but it will not be that
low again for any length of time. The
demand is so great that the present
quotation of 16 to II cents can not long
prevail l have recently visited the
largest consumers in Europe. and | am
satisfied from the information gained
there hat copper will shortly settle
down to from 20 to % cents and re-
main at that standard price,
Mr. Norton is entertaining the own
ers Of the copper properties in which
he is interested. The same capitalists
own $1,000 acres of land in Carbon
county Wyoming. and are now en-
gagged in placing it under irrigation.
