CHIEF WILKIE ON
HIS WAY WEST

Denver, Nov. 6.-Chief Wilkie is en-
route from Washington to Denver and
will reach this city within few days
70 take charge of the investigation that
- being conducted into the shooting
near Durango on Sunday last.
"Spare no expense to bring the slay
ers of Special Agent Joseph A. Walker
to Justice"
This was the injunction contained in
the telegram received from Chief Will
kie yesterday and gave official sanction
to the work that has already been un-
dcrtaken by the Colorado representa-
tivcs of the government in the matter
of probing the death of Walker
Documents pertaining to coal land
frauds which Walker had in his pockts
at the time of his death have been
turned over to the coroner. They were
not taken from Walkers pockets after
the shooting as was first reported. Ev-
idence is fast aecumulating in the case
and the best operatives of the secret
service-the best detectives in the
world-are busy looking it up.
Those who have heard Mason s story
that Walker drew his revolver and fired
at the two men before they had raised
gun, laugh at it, and say it is ridic
ulous. The land was filed on originally
as agricultural ground under the sol
diers' homestead scrip act, which al
lows old soldiers to take up land free
of charge for agricultural purposes.
1t is alleged that the mining property
>sf the coal company was largely OBJ
1ained through the soldiers homestead
lyip, with the intention of developing
it into mineral pre- oerty. In order to
ascertain just how much of the coal
property was on the land obtained by
the old soldiers scrip, Walker, with his
assistants, was going over the coal
mines foot by foot and locating the
coal veins by geological survey. The
trial of those indicted by the grand
jury in connection with the case would
very largely depend upon this informa-
tion.

AND FLORAL OF.
 FFRTNGS

From an early hour this mor,.;ng messages began pouring into the local telegraph offices for the bereaysC family and other relatives, expressing words of smpathy and condolnec. Many of them were from intimate ac- quaintances of the deceased They came from all parts of this state and many were from men, prominent ir the affairs of the nation at Washing ton, others from officials of Dromi hence in various states.
 Floral offerings from various or ders, individuals and private societies are being sent to the White home in abundance. Among them are some of the most magnificent designs. They were sent by persons in all walks of life, from the humble negro drayman to the bank president, for King White was as much loved by the poor, desti- ute negro as by the man of wealth.

His personal mag netism was of the sample that made persons, who at first manifest ed q desire to dislike him for politi- cal reasons, love him and fight with him in his political battles.
 His legal ability was recognized as the best. His record as a criminal lawyer gained him fame through out the south and his executive abil- ity was of the highest type.

He returned to Kentucky and joined a band of guerillas un- der the leadership of Billy Marion and Sioux Mundy. He remained with that band while Quantrell was service in harassing the rear of the Federal army. General White was not captured until six months after the signing of the peace treaty. He was the only one of the Billy Mar ion company that survived after the war, all the others being either shot or hanged.
