for It, with a promise Of three more.

SKELETON CLUE TO MURDER.
Jefferson County Thinks It Has Evi.
dence of Foul Play.

Morrison, Colo.-The discovery of 4
Black mountain, seven miles above
Morrison, has furnished mystery for
the Jefferson county officials to I'M
ravel. There are indications which
point to either murder or suicide, but
from present indications it is probable
that the matter may never be cleared.
f. II. Ballinger a ranchman. living
five miles south of Morrison, found the
bones while on hunting expedition
with a party of friends. He returned
to town this morning and Immediately
notified the coroner.
According to Ballinger the head was
missing. He did not make a careful
examination of the skeleton, but ap-
pearances indicated that it had been
severed with some sharp instrument.
A few remnants of clothing and an old
rife were found near the remains.
The skeleton was near the aban-
doned Martin sawmill, which is located
in a lonely timber country far from
habitation. The hunter describes the
skeleton as that of a man, probably six
feet tall, robust of stature, and appar-
emily young. He says the man has
probably been dead for several months.
The coroner will go after the skele-
ton tomorrow and an investigation will
probably be instituted at once. No one
has been reported missing in this sec
ton for several months.

Higher Baggage Rates.

Denver.-Colorado is going to be
called upon to pay its share of the
losses by the railroads on account of
the introduction of two-cent passenger
fares on the lines operating between
Denver and Chicago and ST. Louis by
increasing the charges for excess bag
gage A meeting has been called in
Chicago by representatives of all the
western lines, at which the question
is to be discussed. 1t is understood
that they are planning to charge peo-
pie who have more baggage tnan the
free limit eighteen per cent. of the
price of a one-way ticket. which will
be big increase over present rates.
Several months ago the railroads
were forced to put In u two-cent per
mile rate in Nebraska, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, illinois and Wisconsin,, on ac-
count of state legislation. Increased
excess baggage rates are to recuperate
these losses. Colorado secured the ad-
vantage Of the two-cent rate in the
states east Of here, but did not get any
reduction on rates within the borders
of the state. People will have to pay
the excess charges on baggage just
the same as in the states which Sc
cured the two-cent fares.

OIL AND GAS IS FOUND.
Eastern Colorado Comes to the Front
With Both.

beaverton and gas in unlimited
quantity have been struck in Rock
Springs valley, three miles north of
Akron" said Robert H. Northcott.
prominent Washington county ranch
man, at the St James hotel.
And mind you, this is in the very
heart of the dryfarming region of east
ern Colorado. Rock Springs valley is
five miles long and not over two miles
wide at its widest point. North, south
and west it is surrounded by high
banks of clay, while its eastern extrem
ity slopes off into as fine farming coun-
try as can be found in this region.
Five years ago experienced reseach
showed there are thirty-two clays of
greater or less value in the valley, and
oil experts declared that oil could be
found underlying these stratas.
"A well was started in 1904 under
state supervision, the Legislature hav-
ing appropriated $4,000 for drilling pur-
poses, but the expense attached soon
exhausted the appropriation, but not
until limited supply of oil was OBJ
tanned at depth of l,150 feet Last
winter company was formed by Ak
ron capitalists and early in the spring
the work of again boring for oil was
resumed, some of the best known oil
experts in the state being employed.
Work has been continued all summer
and despite numerous setbacks, a plen-
tiful supply of oil and gas was obtained
at depth of 300 feet.
This means a new era of CONNER
cial development in eastern Colorado
| for several factories for the develop
ment of the clays have already been
projected for next spring by eastern
capital, among them being one for the
| reduction of aluminium clay, several
| banks of which have assayed 25.4 per
cent. of aluminium oxide.
There is already in operation in the
valley Fuller's earth plant, operated
! by the American Clay Company, com

officers are: F. A. Knight, Denver,
president; Judge E. +. Armour, Ster-

/ Omaha, treasurer and general man

European Capital Seeking Colorado.

Denver.-Robert S. Oberfelder, a
Sidney, Nebraska, capitalist and prom
inently identified with Cripple Creek
mining interests, was at the Brown
Palace hotel the other day. Oberfelder
has just completed a five-months' tour
of the continental cities of Europe. In
an interview said
Comparatively few Americans are
aware of the fact that the eyes of for
eign capitalists are focused upon the
commercial life os America. l was sur
prised to see how thoroughly familiar
Europeans are with the development
and commercial advancement in this
country, particularly so in Colorado.
Their interest in Colorado's progress
and the opening up of what has been
practically undeveloped resources is
unbounded and they stand ready to
invest money in any legitimate oppor-
tunity that may be offered. This has
not been the result of any boom that
Coloradans have put forth but is the
result Of a logical conclusion that the
tremendous mineral wealth in this
state affords ample opportunity for
safe investment with fair dividends
at stated periods.
Thousands of dollars are being sent
to America weekly for investment, and
no inconsiderable portion finds its way
to Colorado. The time is past when
the speculative stocks, such as railway
shares and bonds, command the atten-
ton of the European investor, for the
fluctuation In prices, many times un-
warranted, has caused the man of
money abroad to pursue much more
conservative policy, and in fact he has
become, IL anything, overcautious. 1t
is much more difficult now to place
large blocks Of railway stock abroad
than formerly, consequently the finan-
cial tone of the old world Is on much
sounder basis than formerly"
Oberfelder will leave shortly on an
extended tour of Old Mexico and South
America, where he has large interests.

Leap. Through Second story Window.

Ouray. Colo.-While attempting to
escape from the city marshal, who was
preparing to take him to jail, Jack Nc
Donald, suffering from delirium tre-
mems. jumped through a plate glass
window on the second floor of the hos
pital.
Mcdonald had become unmanageable
and the officer was called to subdue
him. The intoxicated man fortified
himself in the bathroom. and. clutch
ing a heavy broomstick in his hand, de-
fed anyone to enter. The marshal
forced an entrance and succeeded in
getting Mcdonald to put his coat on.
He then turned to open the door and
Mcdonald leaped through the closed
window. He was stunned by the fall,
bit IL not seriously injured.
