so they will come there TO get
their allowance.
The most critical time in the
life of a fowl is when it is young.
Give il good care and feed then.
Not much feed is eaten. so a
greater cost per pound can be
afforded for feed at that time.
Bear in mind that If good

patched out il becomes more
difficult to control the pests.
The secret Of handling them
easily is to prevent them from

to his step, tracing it through the hall

Verify, my jailer was person of
painstaking habits.
| opened my travelling case and dis
tributed it's contents on the dressing
table. l had carried through all my
adventures a folding leather photo
graph holder, containing portraits of
my father and mother and of John
Marshall Glenarm. my grandfather.
and this l set up on the mantel in the
little s.tting-room. 1t was with a new
and curious interest that | peered INTO
my crandfather's shrewd old eyes. He
used 10 come and 90 ftfuly at my
fathers house; but my father had dis
pleased him in various ways that l
need not recite. and my fathers death
had left me with an estrangement
which | had widened by my own acts.
Now that had reached Glenarm, my
mind reverted to Pickering's estimate
of the value of my grandfather's estate.
Although John Marshall Glenarm was
an eccentric man, he had peen able to
accumulate a large fortune; and yet
i had tamely permitted the executor to

purchased a package of smoking to-

enough to imagine that my presence
was probably of interest to them; but
the station master, the girl at the post

tied me, as though a particular degree

THIS CHARGE is MADE AGAINST
EX-GOVERNOR ROUTT.
FIGHT OVER HIS ESTATE
Claim Made That Coiorado's Former
Governor Was Of unsound Mind
When He Transferred
Property

Denyer.-Inquiry into the sanity OF
Former Governor John L. Routt has
been begun in the County Court. A
jury has been impaneled upon the for
mer governors mental condition.
Owing to the fact that the lunacy
complaint sworn out by Mrs Dlla
Routt Collins against her father was
irregular in form. Judge Charles Nc
Call granted the request of Attorney
Charles A. Stokes, representing Mrs.
Collins, for a continuance until May
3D.
Besides Attorney Stokes there were
present in court when the case was
called Attorney Ralph Hartzell, Attor-
ney Ben c. Hilliard, guardian ad litem
appointed by the court; Stuart D. Wal
ling. representing John II. Routt. and
County Attorney Fred Parks.
No testimony was taken at the in
Quiry, although the intention had been
to have Mrs Collins and other mem
bers of the family testify as TO the con
dition Of the governors mind. Then
the members Of the jury were to nave
visited the Routt home to ascertain Tor
themselves his mental condition.
The petition filed by Mrs. Collins,
which forestalled any attempt OF the
four remaining children of Governor
Routt to make a fight to contest the
will left by Mrs. Routt and also the
trust deed executed few days before
her death which transferred $loo,ooo
worth of real estate to Mrs. Coillns.
and which has been suppressed, Is
now made public for the first time. 1t
reads as follows:
ITO the Hon. Ben b. Lindsey. judge
of County Court:
Your complainant, Lila Routt Col
Inns of said city and county Of Denver,
respectively, makes complaint against
John l.. Routt and alleGe
THAT said John l.. Routt is luna
tic or an insane person, and is so DIS
tracted in mind as TO be incapable OF
properly or safely attending to his al
fairs or managing his estate.
THAT said John l.. Routt was the
husband of Eliza j. Routt, late of the
said city and county of Denver, who de-
parted this life in said city and county
of Denver on March -, A. ID. 19oh
THAT said deceased left last Will
and testament, wherein the said JohL
l.. Routt was named as a devisee and
beneficiary, and by virtue of the sad
will the said John l.. Routt is entitled
to real and personal property, Whlch
he is incapable of properly managing.
THAT by the insane condition OF tho
said John l.. Routt he is incapable OF
realizing the effect of or understanding
the citation which must be served upon
him before said will can be problted
in this court.
Wherefore your complainant re-
spectfully asks that inquiry may be
made into the sanity Of said John l..
Routt and whether he is so insane or
distracted in mind as to render HIM IN
capable of managing his estate, then
your complainant prays that cohserV'
ator be appointed by this court to care

tate Of said John l.. Routt in accord
