PLOT TO KILL BALLooNIsT.
Parachute Jumper Is Carried In Mid
Air With Death as Companion.

Denver.-Wayne Abbott, the native
son, who as drum major In General
George w. Cooks famous drum corps
and as sailor in airships and a para
chute jumper, is known from one
American boundary line to the other,
narrowly missed death in a horrible
form at the Tulleries.
1t seems so much like an attempt at
murder that an investigation will be
made.
The rope that connects Abbott's
parachute with the balloon proper
passes through a small iron ring. Fast
ened to this ring is a sharp knife
blade attached to a lever. The aero
naut, on his trapeze twenty feet be-
low. controls the action of the blade
by cord hanging down from the
lever and at the proper height pulls
the cord, thereby severing the rope
and starting him earthward with his
parachute.
Abbott. as is his custom. attempted
to cut loose 1000 feet above the earth,
but the releasing mechanism refused
to work because a nail had been placed
through the iron ring between the rope
and the knife blade. SO that when he
pulled the blade 1t was stopped by the
nail. With no knowledge of the situ-
| ation-not knowing whether the con-
Meeting rope had been partly severed
and was waiting for a lurch of the
balloon to finish the work of release
Abbott could not risk climbing to the
iron ring by way of the folded para
chute; his only course was to retain
his seat on the trapeze and trust to
good fortune to let him land safely
with the balloon. The absence of wind
permitted him to do this.
Had there been wind the huge bal
loon as soon as emptied of gas would
have turned on its side: the speed OF
thea descent would have been rapid
enough to kill the aeronaut at the fin
ish but not rapid enough to open the
parachute to land him safely.
Il am pretty sure | know the name
of the person who placed the nail in
the iron ring" said Abbott. but I
shall not have him arrested until fur
ther investigation"

span cantilever in the world. the length
OF the span in the center being 1900,
or 200 feet longer than that of the Firth
OF Forth bridge, at present the worlds
longest single bridge span. There has
been no bridge across the st. Lawrence
below Montreal. AT Quebec traffic was
ferrfed across the river. This expense
being held responsible for the failure
of Quebec to grow, a number OF citi-
zens secured a charter from the do
minioh government to bridge the St
Lawrence.
A subsidy of s1,OO0,O0O was secured
from the dominion government and an
other of s350.00O from the government
of the province of Quebec, while the
city of Quebec gave grant of 100000.
The promoters put up s650,000. The
contract was let for the erection OF
the stonework to Nj p. Davis & Co.
and to iron work to the Phoenix Iron
Company of Phenixville. Work was
begun in 1900.
The original estimate of the cost was
$3,500,000, but this was found to be
too small. The company finding it.
self in difficulty and the government
needing the bridge for the national
transcondnental railway. an agree
ment was reached by which the gov
ernment agreed to guarantee the bonds
of the company up to $7,000.000. Under
this agreement construction has been
proceeding. When completed the
bridge was to have accommodation for
double-track railway two lines of
electric tramways and two roadways
for foot and vehicle traffic. At the
time of the collapse the cantilevef
span on the soath side of the river had
been completed as well as the ap-
preaching span and some 200 feet OF
the connecting span between the can't
levers.

Sugar Factory Now Ready.

Greeley, Colo.-C. A. Granger. man
ager for the Greeley. Eaton and Wind
sor sugar factories. says that all fac
tories in the district will be running
by the last of September and that
tests to ascertain the per cent of sugar
in the beets which determines their
maturity have been made. Over $780,
900 has been expended this summer in
oyerhauling the plants and placing
in them the most improved machinery
by which the capacity will be in
creased, although there will be CON
siderable SLIDING. The factories will
handle as many beets this year as last
and samples show an average of prob
ably fifteen tons to the acre. Mr..
Granger estimates the total value of
the beet crop in this state at S5,000,-
900. of which the Greeley district will
have at least one-third.

Ore Body Causes Excitement.

Georgetown. Colo.-Considerable ex-
citement was created this week when
A A. Ireland, manager of the Atlantic
Mining & Milling Company, brought
in from the Atlantic district a ship
ment of ore. The product was run in
two classes and returns as follows
were received: Gold, 2 ounces; sill
yer, 1926; gold, 1.24; silved, 240. The
ore was taken from two lodes, upon
which shaft has been sunk to n
depth of sixteen feet. The streaks
measure from two to three feet in
width, while the shoot has been opened
for 300 feet in length.
This company has been steadily at
work for the past three months, dur.
ing which time five different veins
have been proved up. In each and ev-
cry instance ore bodies have been ex-
posed and Manager Ireland feels con
fident that he has the making of some
of the big producing mines of the up
per Clear Creek district. The com.
pany is being financed by a number
of Boston capitalists, and it is ex-
pected that a number of the interested
parties will arrive in camp the first of
the coming week

Shoots wife. Then suicides.

Denver.-Though Marietta Debelal1
fell upon her knees and swore by the
Holy Virgin that she had not broken
her marriage cows, Frank Debelak,
her husband, did not believe her. A
short time after she had taken the
oath he shot and fatally wounded her
and then turning the weapon upon
himself blew out his brains. He died
an hour and half after he had shot
himself. while he was being conveyed
to the county hospital in an undertake
er's wagon. His wife is still alive, but
her wound is such that her death is
momentarily expected.
Debelak is an Austrian, forty years
of age, and for the past three years
had been employed on the feed floor"
OF the Globe smelter. He made his
home at Sheedy row, in Adams county,
Just over the line from Globeville. L.
was there that he attempted to muir
der his wife and shot himself. Though
married less than year. Debelak had
been insanely jealous of his wife for
a long time, and his terrible deed did
not cause those familiar with his at
fairs any surprise.

Defended His DOG.

Evanston. Wyo.-Alfred Cavines, in
protecting a shepherd dog near that
place, shot and fatally wounded Elias
Lobata, sheepherder. Lobata died at
the hospital at Rock Springs. where
he was taken for treatment Lobata
had wilfully attacked one of the valu-
able sheep dogs at Cavines' camp and
broken one of its legs. and when Ca
vines accused him OF cruelty to the
animal Lobata threatened to kill him,
and drew his gun.
Cayines induced Lobata to put up his
revolver, whereupon CaYines drew his
gun and ordered Lobata to surrender.
Lobata went after his gun again, but
1t is not known whether 1t was to give
II up or to resume hostilities. Cavines
bred and shot Lobata through one lung,
wounding him fatally. Cavines was "a
camp mover in the employ of the Wex-
elberger Sheep Company
Cavines was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Carl Rogers and is now in the
county Jail here.

Jim Howard Not Guilty.

Georgetown, Ky.-Goaded by tho
statement here in the opening speech
Of Judge S. Whager, Democratic nomi-
nee for governor, that he would not
pardon Caleb Powers If convicted OF
conspiracy In the murder OF Governor
William Goebel. Powers tonight issued
d written statement saying that he
had at last learned the name of the
man who murdered Goebel. and could
point him out. No previous statement
made by Powers has created SO pro-
found sensation, for 1t is believed at
last that the real murderer of Gov
ernor Goebel will be learned. Powers
says that the man who killed Goebel
is not Jim Howard. who is serving a
life sentence in the penitentiary on
that charge.

Don't Like Pure Food Law.

Fort Collins. Colo.-Farmers and
dairymen about Fort Collins are up in
arms against the pure food ordinance
recently passed by the City Council,
and threaten to take all their business
to Greeley and other nearby towns
The ordinance provides that all per-
sons bringing milk, eggs, butter md
other produce into this city for the
purpose of selling 1t must pay license
of 81 per year. The farmers say this
is an injustice and claim they will re-
fuse to pay it on the grounds it is in
contravention of the statutes which
provide that no one may be taxed for
selling products which he raises him
self or which he manufactures.
The farmers do not object to the
ordnance which provides for the in
spection of their cattle and premises
and say this is a good thing.
DR.. George Glover, dean of the veter-
mary department of the State Agricul-
tural College, has been appointed city
inspector. He says many of the dal-
ries have been found to be in a fright
fully unsanitary condition and several
cases of tubercular afflicuons have
been discovered in city dairy COWS.

PREMIER AND TWO ARE KILLED.
Socialists Believed to Have Planned
the Assassination.

Teheran.-Mirza All Asghan Khan,
premier. was shot and killed as he was
leaving the national council.
Two soldiers were killed at the same
time and an assemblyman was shot in
the leX. One of the assassins commit
ted suicide, one was arrested and the
others escaped.
1t is believed that the assassination
was planned by the Socialists, who
have their headquarters at Baku, and
whose members. numbering about 50,-
900, have bound themselves to uphold
the Persian constitution
The Socialists have collected arms
and ammunition and are possessed of
considerable funds. Through the Per-
sian press they have been carrying on
campaign against the late premier,
declaring him to be an enemy of the
constitution.
1t is believed that the effect OF the
news of the murder of Mira Ali AS
CHAN Khan, added to the interior
troubles, will be disastrous and that
anarchy will gain in strength Already
the roads are SO unsafe that the Ger
man consul. who is going to Bushire.
has asked the government for an es-
cort.
A Russian at Ispian today was
robbed of everything he possessed.
The slain premier had long played
an important part in the affairs of
Persia. Twice he held the Office of
vizier. the last time from August, 1898,
to September, 1903, when he was ex-
lied. This followed closely upon the
sudden death of the Hakim Ell Mulk.
After living in exile in Europe for
more than three years. Mira Ali was
recalled early in the present year by
the shah. Arriving in Enzellie. the
populace, which had been apprlsed of
his homecoming, endeavored to pre-
vent his landing. so bitter was the
feeling against him. He arrived in
Teheran April 27th and was escorted
to the palace by company of Persian
Cossacks sent by the shah TO meet
him. During his exile. Mira Ali Wis

What uinta Farms Can Raise.

Denver.-C. B. Hutchinson came to
Denver from the Uinta reservation
with : bouquet of wheat. The heads
looked as though the Indian canal
were finished. Mr.. Hutchison, who
was one of the first to take up claim
when the government opened the reser-
vation, wishes the public to understand
that dry farming at his ranch near
Myton, on the banks of the Duquesne,
is ideal. He is raising timothy of nam
moth size and thinks that everything
can be raised on the reservation as
soon as the irrigation bitches are com.
pleted. Mr.. Hutchison will buy a team
and drive back to the Utah town. a

HEAVY INVESTMENTS IN LAND
AND WATER SCHEMES ARE
FORTHCOMING.

Denver.-Ten million dollars TO in
sest In Colorado lands and irrigation
projects. This Will help lot In the de
velopment of Northern Colorado To
show that the offer is in good faith
the Pennsylvania crowd who are max
ing 1t kave already 81 900 900 In Colo
RADIO ranches, improvements and cat
tie. Among these investors are:
General James A. Beaver. ex-gover-
nor of Pennsylvania and a prominent
capitalist
Charles H. Kittredge, a Boston
banker.
John II. Morse. president of the Old
Colony Life Insurance Company OF
Chicago
James II. Kendall, a retired manu-
facturer OF Boston.
Thomas and Gilbert A. Beaver, New
York. capitalists and sons of General
Beaver
The party left on a special train for
Chicago. They came here very quietly
two weeks ago and arranged trip
with the Colorado State Commercial
Association representatives and Fred
Johnson, representative OF the cattle
interests of the state, through Routt
and Rio Blanco county, to look over
their interests and consider addi-
tional investments.
To Save the Water
The trip began at the Crescent Cat
tie Company's properties near Divide:
next the party went through South
Park and Rifle was visited. The party
went through Meeker. along the Bear
river country, and to Kremmling They
viewed Lilly park and after a thorough
and exhaustive examination of tho
country returned to Denver.
General Beaver said at the Brown,
hotel: THE thing that has struck me
most forcibly is your great waste o.
water. Irrigation is surely In its in.
fancy in Colorado. The waters should
be stored at the heads of the streams
and run through bitches that will con
serve every drop.
We have seen the most magnificent
reservoir sites on our present trip and
back In Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts is the money to build
these storage places and conserve tho
water to the greatest advantage.
Our people have more than mil
lion dollars out here now and there Is
ten times as much money left for fur
ther investment Colorado seems to
me to be land pregnant with possibil-
tiles of great profit.
Il can promise you that much heav-
Ter investments in land and water
schemes are forthcoming.
Values viii Grow.
Mining is uncertain, but there Is
only so much land in the country and
the acreage will not increase Tho
value of land in Colorado will never
be lower than the market price today
Instead 1t will constantly increase.
But as safe an investment as land
is money. put into conservative irrigar
ton projects"
At Meeker and Steamboat Springs
the citizens gave dinners and recep-
tions to the party. The members are
returning home filed with enthusiasm
for Colorado land and water projects.
More than this, they already have
investments under favorable consider
alton that will mean s10.000.000 at
least for the development of Northern
Colorado.
Two companies for the distribution
of large amounts of money will be or
ganized as quickly as the party
reaches Philadelphia.
