Colorado Want. More Horses.

Denver.-"Denver Is the natural and
distributing point for the entire North
west and Southwest and Is destined to
be the greatest horse mart In the coun'
try. Its business along this line In
creased twenty-five per cent. last year
and this year should break all pre-
vious records" said G. l.. Goulding.
proprietor Of the City Stock Yards.
1--WE are shipping horses ail over the
country. Texas buyers are here now
looking for u carload OF saddle horses.
California and Washington. other ter.
ritory to the west Of us. is represented
by buyers constantly. and We nre now
trying To help supply the New York
market. but with little success. for the
demand here far exceeds the sup
ply" r-H.
Mr.. Gouiding says that the sooner
rnnchmen In Colorado realize that
there Is demand for far more horses
than they can supply. the sooner the
industry will grow to the proportions
II ought. 1T is simply impossible for
US to MI the ORDERS" he continued.
Last year We disposed Of some 5000
head Of horses. the value approximat.
Ing 100000. The only reason wc
stopped there was because we could
get no more horses. Buyers from the
country over come here. .-.
"They like the Colorado. the noun
tain horses. The animals raised here
have greater lung capacity. fiinticr
hoofs from the nature OF the soil. and
better bone and muscle. This In
known TO horscmen. consequently tho
demand Is great here constantly"

HARRY x. 14Aw IS SANE.
Murderer Of Stanford White Prove,
Himself Competent.

New York.--Harry X. Thnw to-day
was declared sane by tho unanimous
report OF the commission In iunacy.
The moment tho decision was
handed down from Justice Ftiz-
gcrald's desk District Attorney
Jerome was on his feet Wig
orousiy protcstin. against It's con
iirmntion by the court. He declared he
had been excluded from the last Brs-
sion OF the commission. and demanded
to be allowed TO have access to the
minutes and stcnogrnphic notes Of
shnt trnnspircd nt the final mental and
physical examination OF the dcfcnd'
mt.
When Judge Fitzgerald declined TO
turn the minutes over to tho district
attorney Jerome declared he would
carry the case TO the appellate division
Of the Supreme Court. asking that n
writ OF prohibition or mnndamus be-
granted TO prevent n continuance OF
the Thaw trial until the higher court
had ruled upon the legality Of the com
missions course.
Judge Fitzgerald reminded Mr.. Jc-
rome that he had waived the statutory
right OF attending the last session of
the commission by suggesting himself
that all the attorneys be excluded from
the sitting in question. He then
granted the district attorney an ad'
lournmcnt until Monday morning In or
der that he might have time to pre-
pare his application to the appellate
division. Jerome protested that the
time was not sufficient. but Justice
Fitzgerald cut him short with the an.
aouncement that the trial must be con
cluded forthwith.
Unless Jerome should secure writ
Of prohibition In the meantime. Justice
Fitzgerald is expected to announce on
Monday morning that he has confirmed
the report Of the commission and order
that the trial proceed without further
delay.

ney, whose threat to take the matter
before the appellate division of the

rious delay in the long-drawn out trial.

Want. italian. Protected In America.

Rome.-Francesco p. Materi, mem.
Der Of the Chamber OF Deputies. has
made public letter in which he urges
the government to extend Its protec'
tion to Italian emigrants. not only on
board steamers crossing the ocean. but
even after they have disembarked In
the United States. He expresses the
belief that emigrants to America are
exploited and used for work in nn.
healthy sections OF the country. The
writer points out that in 1906 2.S0O.0OO
Italians emigrated and that 100000
went to the United States. He esti-
mates the total number OF emigrants
for 1907 at 100000 persons.

Water at Depth Of Thirty Feet.

Ault. Colo.-ln digging well for the
new water system here an under
ground river OF seemingly iimitless
fow has been found. II is only thirty
feet below the surface and the water
is eight feet deep. and II was impossi'
BILE to diminish the depth with four
inch pump.
A six.inch pump was substituted.
but after six hours of work the water
was lowered only fourteen inches. The
first pump has been replaced. and both
are being worked with a gasoline en-
sine. In order that digging may be
completed to about forty feet.
The river is supposed to be the same
one tapped by the residents OF Mum

Pinedale, wyo.-A few weeks ago It
was feared there would be heavy losses
among elk in this region, owing to the
scarcity of feed and great depth of
snow. The large bands of elk are now
moving to bare spots in the foothills
where there is plenty Of feed. Few an
imals have died during the winter.
There was some loss among antelope
