SEVEN MEN BURIED ALIVE.
Colorado Miners Caught in Trap and
Are Burned or Suffocated.

Trinidad, Colo.-Seven men, includ-
ing Superintendent Alex Jacobs, were
either burned to death or suffocated in
the Engleville mine at Engleville,
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company camp
four miles south of Trinidad, some
time on the night of May Goth The
bodies, including that of Superintend-
ent Jacobs, have already been recov-
cred
The men went to work, and when
they did not come out in the morning
an investigation was started. 1t was
discovered that fire which broke out in
the mine a year ago ana was still burn
ing in some sections, had suddenly
spread and swept across the incline
tunnel. cutting off the men and pre-
venting them from reaching the out
side.
The point where the flames crossed
the tunnel is fully three miles from the
Opening and it was necessary to dig a
Temporary tunnel around the fire in
order to reach the bodies of the i'll
fated miners.
The names OF the other six dead
cannot be obtained at this time; they
were white miners and had lived at
Engleville for many years.
The Engleville mine is one of the
Oldest coal producers in Colorado, hav-
ing been operated fully thirty years.
AS soon as the bodies were recov-
cred, a telephone message was sent to
Coroner Sipe, who went to the scene
to make an investigation.

Cyclone Plays Havoc.

Douglas, Wyo.-Ten men had a mar
row escape from death recently, when
cyclone completely demolished the
buildings and shearing pens of the
Card Sheep Company at Shawnee
Springs, Northwestern siding,
twenty-six miles east of this place. One
man, E. r. Grize, was seriously injured
and was brought to the hospital here.
He has broken shoulder, numerous
scalp wounds one of his ears is almost
severed. and he may be internally in.
jured. The nine other men all received
injuries, but none were seriously hurt,
The loss to the Card company will
probably total $4,000.
The employees of the Card company
were sitting at the ranch building, hav.
ing just finished dinner, when the cy.
clone strncA the structure. The house
was picked up bodily and hurled from
its foundations. 1t then began 10 turn
end over end. During the first turn
the roof came off as it struck the
ground and the ten men were left
sprawling on the ceiling, while the re-
mainder of the building was taken
some distance and was then torn to
pieces by the twister. Had not the roof
come off every man would have been
killed
In addition to the dwelling, all OF
the shearing pens, corrals, COW sheds
and other improvements of the Card
company were destroyed The cyclone
destroyed telegraph and telephone
communications and whether or not
similar damage or fatalities occurred
at other ranches had not been ascer-
tanned up TO midnight.
Soon after the passage of the cy-
clone the employees of the Card Com
pany tagged Northwestern train and
1t was on this train that Grize was
brought to Douglas. State Veterinary
w. F. Pflaging, who was on the train,
left his emergency kit with the other
injured men, who remained to care for
the sheep and they dressed their own
wounds.

objects to Lease Law.

A correspondent in Sierra county
New Mexico, hits the nail on the head
when he says: when one stops to
connsider the lease question, 1t is
readily seen that the small COW mans
terrors of the lease law as. it is COM
monty termed are not all baseless.
He is now barely making a living in
most cases with his present number of
cattle and without paying any grazing
tax, so If the proposed lease law be-
comes a reality and he is compelled
to pay for his range and keep his cat
tie thereon he would be up against it
in several ways. In the first place he
would have to fence his range, which
would entail an enormous expense, be-
cause he can not herd his cattle like
a sheep man runs his flock. They
would starve to death If he attempted
it. Then If compelled to keep his stock
on his own land he would in most
cases have to cut down the present
number, and he is barely making a liv-
ing at present, what would he do If,
forced to cut down his number Of cat
tie and fence his range and pay tax
of so much an acre for the privilege
of grazing his live stock?"

Are They Jebblna Ben s.a

Denver.-William C. Blair. chief
clerk of the House of Representatives.
is standing pat on his record OF the
passage of the Juvenile Court bill,
which record does not agree with that
of the Senate with respect to two Sen
ate amendments. His journal shows
that the amendments in question were
not adopted by the House.
in the Sunday Post, over the sigma
ture of b. b. Lindsey, | notice the fol-
lowing statement concerning House
Bill No. 1872, considered and passed by
both houses of the Sixteenth Assembly
with particular reference to the amend
ment which is part of the enrolled
bill, but which does not appear in the
House Journal" said Mr.. Blair to-day.
Some of the Senate officials have
informed me that as matter of fact
the amendment was transmitted to the
House, but if it was the chief clerk of
the House neglected to publish it in
the journal of the House.
1T is fact, as appears from the
records, that the amendment was sent
to the House by the Senate and en-
rolled in the House bill by the House
enrolment committee, but why the
clerk did not report 1t in the journal is
difficult to understand"
There can be and there is only one
reason for the amendment not appear
ing in the House journal: The message
from the Senate notifying the House
that the bill had passed the Senate
with certain amendments did not, does
not--and from the nature of the con-
struction Of the communication, never
did and could not-contain the amend
ment referred to and which is claimed
by some to nave passed the Senate.
The records of the House of Repre-
sentatives uf the Sixteenth Assembly
concerning House Bill No. 1872 are alb
)solutely correct, aud they are correct
on every other bill, matter and thing
considered and acted upon by it."

Regular Hours for Feed.

Many farmers do not realize the i'm
portance of feeding their stock at reg
ular hours, but it is of great import
ance. Take lot of hogs which have to
wait after their regular time for feed,
and see how restless and noisy they be-
come. And what is true of them is
true in great measure of other ami
mails. The man who is regular in his
habits, eating at a regular hour, will,
other things being equal, thrive best
and be healthiest and strongest; and
what is true of man in this regard is
correspondingly true of the lower ami
mails. A farmer can readily get into
the habit OF feeding his stock regularly
and they will learn to expect 1t at a
regular time and rest patiently until
the next feeding period comes about.
Experiments in this direction would
soon satisfy the most doubling person,
OF the truth of the value of regularity
in feeding.

SAVAGE LOS NEAa GOLDEN.
Denver Sports Have Narrow Escape
in Fight with Wild Animals.


Denver-"Never in my life did !
have such thrilling adventure with
a bear as had last Friday about thirty
miles northwest of Ceballa. in Gun
nison county-whew, 1t was hot
fight"
This was the way G. Gordon Pickett
of the Tritch Hardware Company
started his story of the biggest bear
Carpenter. with j. J. Carpenters fine
string of bear dogs. eight in number,
started out from Cebella
But to continue with Mr.. Pickett's
tale: THE dogs jumped good sized
black bear along about 3 o'clock We
followed him something like three
miles and took a long shot az him,
wounding him in the right foreleg.
We lost sight of him for awhile and
then the dogs got next to him again.
This time they had him cornered on
THE edge of big bluff, at least 100
feet high.
1T seems that the wound | had
given him made the bear crazy mad.
He nailed two of the dogs, one after
the other and crunched their necks
like SO many soda crackers. He
jumped down into cleft of rock,
where there was little platform about
twelve feet square and beyond that
the precipice.
"The dogs went after him and he
went after them good and proper. He
had already killed Two and it looked
as if he was going to finish the entire
pack. To save the lives Of the dogs,
| jumped down onto the little bench,
but not until he had lunged at one OF
the best dogs and cuffed him clear
over the cliff.
"of course, that finished that dog.
and the bear turned He wasn't five
feet from me when / tore the top of
his head off with a quick shot from
my rife. He didn't exactly have me
buffaloed,' but l think | never in all
my twenty-five years hunting expert
ence came so near being seriously rat
tied. The dogs killed were among the
best fighters in the pack"
Another big fight with wild game is
promised as soon as Charles +.
Hoeckel of Denver returns from trip
to the northern part of the state and
gets his fine pack of Russian wolf
hounds on the trail of an immense
mountain lion which is destroying
sheep and even young calves On the
ranches on the Denver side of the
great plateau near Golden, where the
lion has his lair.
The beast is said TO have held a
number of farmers at bay on two or
three occasions and has invariably
made his escape A big lion hunt will
be organized The animal has COM
mitted his worst depredations mt points
scarcely more than nine miles distant
from Denver.

Variation in Cows Milk.

The seasonal variation in cows milk
ascertained from q five years study in
a herd of six hundred COWS, all regis
tered or graded Jerseys, on a New
York estate. disclosed the rather inter-
esting fact that the richest milk that
containing the greatest proportion of
fats and total solids, is obtained during
December, January and February, in
the order named.
March and April are not very far be-
hind, but the decrease is practically
continuous until July. when it reaches
its lowest level, after which follows a
gradual monthly increase until De-
cember
The average composition for the
whole year period. as published in the
Journal of the American Chemical So
ciety, is fat, So; solids no fat, J.22; a
total of 14.64. The protein content is
calculated at 1866 the milk sugar at
4.S1 and the ash at rs; all being per-
centages.

Alexander Graham Bell, who one
morning when he wasn't very busy
invented the telephone, which has
saved his fellow mortals thousands OF
steps and has enabled them to dodge
creditors who called up to say they

only . matter of very short time
until we shall be able to airship to
Europe in 20 hours. That has been
the dream of man ever since he saw
the first balloon ascension. but up to
the present time no one has actually
shown the world how. unless 1t is
the Wright brothers. and thus far
their invention is protected by pat

Just as annoying. OF course. if some
one will just establish the principle
and turn the inventors of the world
loose on it, the machine will be here

you must be content to go over on a
liner, unless you get chance to work

The RIqht to the Land.

The rioting in Roumania, with which
khs civil war began last month. grew
out of the struggle Of the peasantry
FOR control OF the land, struggle Sim
4ar to that now In progress in Russia
and Ireland. Until 1864 the peasants
of Roumania were serfs. The land
was owned by the church. the monas-
keries and the noblemen. The peass
ANTS cultivated 1t, and paid a 1.-THE
of the product to the proprietors.
They also had grazing and fuel rights
In the pastures and forests OF the.
proprietors. When. in 1854, the law
was passed for the emancipation OF
the serfs by the distribution of the
land among them, the fuel and grazing
rights were extinguished. and the peas
ants, although each household re-
ceived title to from seven to fifteen
acres on easy terms OF payment. had
to continue to work for the old pro-
prietors to get money to pay for their
fuel. They were soon at the mercy
of money-lenders. who exacted usuri-
Gus rates of interest. Many attempts
to improve their condition have been
made, either by increasing the amount
of land which they could own. or by
the establishment OF an agricultural
bank to deliver them from the private
money lenders, but these attempts
have not been wholly successful. says
Youths Companion. Large tracts of
land have been leased by syndicates
and sublet to tenant farmers at high
rates, and the taxes on the peasant
owners have been heavy. AS re-
suit. great suffering has been caused
among the sons and daughters of those
who were surfs only generation ago.
The ignorance and improvidence OF
the peasants, combined with the op-
pressions OF the money-lenders. have
Jed to conditions which the peasants
think can be relieved only by resort
to violence. They have been wrought
upon by designing politicians with dis
astrous results. The government has
announced its purpose to remit some
OF the heaviest tax and to reform the
land system.

Through an appeal for funds to com.
plete the restoration and repair of the
Church of St. Michael and All Angels,
In the parish of Dartmoor, England.
an almost forgotten bit of history has
been called to light. The church.
standing on the rugged heights Of that
wild country which Blackmore made
30 familiar through "Lora Doone." is
the most elevated house of worship in
all England, as the village in which it
stands is the highest inhabited village
in England, and the parish, which
contains $4,000 acres of moor and
heath and stream is the largest in
England. But it is in its origin that
the church is most interesting, says
Youths Companion. Built in the early
years of the nineteenth century. the
stones of which it is made were quar-.
ried and put in place by the labor of
French and American prisoners of war
held there in exile while Europe shook
with the thunders of the Napoleonic
wars The graves of many of these
exiles still cluster round the old
church.

REDUCING RATES

Keeping EverIastinsIy after II Ia
Evidently Going to Bring Success

Denver.-Some OF the express
rates from Eastern points 10
Denver have been reduced al
ready as an admitted result
of George J. Kindels crusade against
the five great express companies, and
the case has not yet even come up for
trial before the interstate commerce
commission
IF we can achieve such concessions
for Denver by merely filing suit
against the companies, what great ad
vantages will we secure for the pub
lie of this city by the time we get
decision in the easel" said Albert L.
Vogl, lawyer in the Colorado build
ing, who has charge of this case for
Kindel.
Starting out to secure lower railroad
freight rates for Denver, Kindel has
added to his original program fight
for lower express. Now two of the
express companies have answered the
complaint and both aver that the ex.
press rates "are dominated and con,
trolled largely by the freight rates

many items as one of the results OF
the Kindel suit, and the express com

York to Denver, on through ship
ment, was greater than the rate from
New York to Omaha, unloading and

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, May 20.
More liberal receipts of cattle here
last week and lower markets at all
eastern points resulted in shade
lower values here, though the dcmand
continues very strong and market
closed in nice shape. Beef steers are
weak to a dime lower, good cows
nearly steady, medium ard poorer
cows about dime of, bulls firm and
calves weak to dime lower. Eastern
feeder and stocker markets are demor-
allied owing to the fact that cold
weather has retarded pastures and
Aockmen are short on rough feed. This
condition resulted in lower values here
for the light common steers, though
good feeders are barely steady. Good
fat steers sold at s4.S5 to S5.25 with
facy corn-feds up to s5.40, the high
price. Cows brought $4.55 with sew
eral punches at $3.50 and most of the
pretty good killers ranging from this
down 10 $3.75. Bulls sold at S3.15 to
$3.50 with top at 1915. Veals $3.50
to $70O No good feeders and stockers
were offered, very few landing above
S465, though good steers are quotable
considerably higher. About 5000 head
of southern stockers. arrived at the
yards but most of them were delivered
here under contract and very little
trading was done.
Hog supply was $500 head against
1900 a week ago and 2.200 year ago.
Demand is fair though not urgent ow-
ing to the heavy run. Prices are about
a dime lower than a week ago with
tops now selling at $6.35.
Sheep supply last week was less
than 1000 head and trade very quiet
Demand was good and little change in
quotations. Best wooled ewes are sell
ing around $3.50, clipped at $3.50 and
lambs at $500 to $50.
