chief topic of conversation. Walkers

that nature. The coroner and two
physicians held post mortem exam
ination of the remains of Walker but
refused to give out their findings.

information against Mason and Van.

Fully 15O0OO,O00 bushels of grain
are no wready to De marketed in the
two Dakotas and Minnesota, and there
is no money with which to do it. The
necessities of the Northwest are,
therefore, much greater than in any
other section of the country, demand
ing the fullest consideration at the
hands of the treasury department.
Ten million dollars placed in Twin
City banks would raise the embargo
and start grain shipments to Europe.
This would relieve the financial stress
in the East much quicker than a de-
posit of treasury funds in New York.
Treasury relief operations should
have been begun here, where the con-
gestion is greatest. Our people are
not losing their heads. They have no
fear of a panic, but in this crop now
in season our business men should
have special consideration"

Walker Tragedy.

Washington. = Although two men
have surrendered, claiming that they,
in self-descnse, killed Secret Service
Agent John A. Walker at the entrance
Of a mine at Durango Sunday, Chief
John 4. Wilkie of the secret service
said this morning that he was con-
vinced from such details as are at hand
that the killing was nothing less than
cold blooded murder. Chief Wilkie to-
day received partial report of the af-
fair by telegraph. In speaking of the
death of Agent Walker, he said:
Il am informed that Mr. Walker with
three assistants, named Callahan.
Chapson and Harper. went to the Hes.
perus mine, owned by the Porter Fuel
Company and controlled by the Union
Pacific railway, to make certain inves-
tigation. The three men were lowered
into the shaft, and Agent Walker re-
manned on top. When the three men
were ready to ascend the rope they
found no line at the bottom of the
shaft, 1t having been cut above. They
made their way with difficulty to the
top and upon arriving above ground
found Walkers body. He had received
two bullets, one on the left side of the
neck, another had entered his back.
When the party reached Durango with
the body, seven miles away, they
found that two men by the
name of Mason and Wander
weide had preceded them and deliv-
cred themselves to the authorities.
The men claimed that they were out
hunting and passed the mine. Walker,
they said, had ordered them to throw
up their hands and when they refused
to do SO, they claim that Walker shot
at them. Vanderweide said that he re-
turned the fire, killing Walker.
II discredit this story. Walker was
not a man who was looking for trou-
BILE, and there is no reason why he
should have objected to the hunters
passing the mine"

DECISION OF
SUPREME COURT
AFFECTS POWERS OF HUMANE
SOCIETY IN CARING FOR NEG
LEcTEp STOCK.
CAN'T GET FEED BILL
SOCIETY WILL HAVE TO PROSE-
CUTE OWNERS INSTEAD OF
CARING FOR ANIMALS.

| Denver-According to an opinion
handed down by the Supreme Court
Monday the officers of the Board Of
Child and Animal Protection will have
! to exert other efforts to cause stock
owners to care for their animals than
the method heretofore employed.
In the future the Humane Society
will not have the right to take up starv-
\ ing cattle on the range and after feed
ing and sheltering them, hold the own
ers for the expense of keeping the cat
tie.
There were two cases which in
volved the question. In both of them
Efie jerks. humane agent in Canon
/ City, was plaintiff against w. Stump
in one case and w. J. and J. T. Witcher
in the other. The cases have been ap-
pealed from the District Court of FIRE.
mont county.
| Miss jerks found the cattle on the
plains to the south of Canon City. They
were in desperate condition from the
want Of water and food. She took the
animals to shelter and fed them. Stump
claimed the cattle and would not stand
good for the payment of the food and
shelter. The case went to the courts
and the District Court ruled that the
defendant did not have to pay the costs
of the keep of the stock.
Such was the Stump case, and that
OF the Witchers was identical.
The casese were appealed and JUS
tice Caswell. who gave the opinion, has
confirmed the decision of the lower
court. In the opinion handed down the
court questions whether the agent Of
the society should be allowed to take
up cattle on his own initiative simply
| because he thinks the stock Is suffer
ing, no one else being consulted. and
of holding the owner liable for the
costs.
The law says that when the Humane
Society shall provide neglected animals
with food, shelter and care it may hold
such animals until the expenses in the
keep of the animals are paid by the
owners.
The opinion goes on to say that the
agent is, under the statute. the final ar
bitter and has to consult no tribunal nor
even the owner before taking up the
cattle.
There is no penalty for failure OF
the agent to return any of the proceeds
from the sale of the animals to the
owner, and the only redress he has is
in the courts. The court has ruled that
there is question whether public ne
cessity demands summary action, and
when it does not notice should he sent
to the owner of the property and oppor.
tunity given before some court to de
termine the truth of the allegations
The ruling makes null and void the
statute in question. Concerning the
matter Secretary Whitehead of the Bu
reau of Child and Animal Protection
said:
''It seems to me, from what know
OF the case that in the future we will
have to pursue the course of prosecut
ing the owners first and not taking In
the stock. The delay will give time fol
the animals to die"
