Gold from Denver Mint.

Colorado Springs.-Thousand OF
dollars in gold have been flowing into
Colorado Springs from the Denver
mint and the flood of yellow metal
will continue to pour in SO long as it
is needed to meet the payrolls of the
reduction mills at Colorado City and
the mines and mills in the Cripple
Creek district The following state
ment concerning conditions here has
been prepared for publication by the
Clearing House Association:
Much has been said in the papers
in regard to the efforts of the banks
of New York and other cities in OBJ
tanning gold, but nothing has been said
in regard to what business men and
banks here have done.
I'VE understand upon the best au-
thority that, by an arrangement be-
tween the United States Reduction
Works and the Portland mill and one
of the banks of this city. about $780,
900 in gold has been received in this
city from the mint this week. These
shipments of gold will be continued
indefinitely. This gold is not to be re-
tanned. The arrangement Is that it
shall be paid out to meet the payrolls
of the mills at Colorado City and of
the mines and mills at Cripple Creek.
TO show in what perfect harmony
the banks are working in this city and
also In Cripple Creek. this gold is to
be paid out for the mines payrolls re-
gardless of which banks the mines
keep their accounts In"

A NINE EMPLOYE
TRAGEDY OCCURS AT HEsPERUs
COAL MINE, SIXTEEN MILES
WEST OF DURANGO.

Durango, Colo.-While engaged in
securing evidence of alleged frauds
In timber and coal lands in this sec.
ton, Joseph A. Walker of Denver, spe.
cial agent of the United States Depart.
ment OF Justice, was shot and instantly
killed near Hesperus, sixteen miles
west of here. Sunday, by Joseph Van
derwyve, an employe of the Union
Pacific Coal Company. The shooting
occurred on desolate, lonely noun
tain side, almost inaccessible from the
town OF Porter, and with no one pres
ent to tell the story but the man who
dld the shooting. and his companion
William II. Mason. superintendent for
the company and Vanderwyve's en-
ployer.
Walker. with two brother officers
A. E. CT apson and P. ]. Galligan, and
Ihomas Harper, miner. were er
gagged in an examination of one of
the mines of the Union Pacific Coal
Company. which it had purchased from
the Porter Coal Company, against
which latter corporation indictments
were returned by the federal grand
jury charging fraud in connection
with tie original filing on the prop
erty. With the object of entering the
mine on Sunday, when little work was
being done, the officers climbed the
mountain to an air shaft connecting
with the main workings of the prop
erty and prepared to lower themselves
into the workings with ropes.
Chapson. Galligan and Harper went
into the mine leaving Walker at the
opening to guard the ropes with which
the men had been lowered. According
to the story of the shooting. Mason
and Vallderwyve were engaged in an
Inspection of the property of the COM
pany and came upon Walker. who
commanded them to halt. at the same
time ley cling a revolver and firing at
them. The men continued to advance
and Vanderwyve. armed with a shot
gun loaded with heavy buckshot, fired
on the officer, the whole charge of
shot taking effect in his body. One
pellet struck him in the neck, passing
clear through and severing the jugu-
lar vein. Death was almost instan-
taneous The two men then cut the
ropes hanging in the shaft and pro-
ceeded to Porter, where they reported
the shooting.
Officers were sent to the scene and
an investigation begun. Walkers body
was brought to Durango Sunday night.
According to the story of Vanderwyve
and Mason, the officer was a stranger
to them and they had no knowledge of
his business in the property. He has,
according to the authorities, been en-
gagged in the Investigation that he was
pursuing at the time of his death for
the past ten months and was well
known to everybody in this section of
southern Colorado.

with her intended marriage to Jo-

Parker. He furnished house and
invitations were issued.
The other afternoon Mr.. Parker
found her in tears. Her mother
said that some time during the pre-

sobbing into her room and declared
that she had just been visited by
the spirit of her dead husband. He
had warned her against marrying
again, she said. and when she pro-
tested the spirit had taken hold of
her arms and held her until she prom.

Farmers viii Hold Their Corn.

Lincoln, Neb.-The financial trou-
bles in New York. with their later
echo in the West, has not alarmed
the farmers of Nebraska For the
last decade farmers of this state have
disposed of their crops by contract
before they were harvested, but this
year conditions are changed.
During the week word came to Lin
coin from all sections of the state
to the effect that the farmers are
building bins to store away the corn
they are soon to harvest. They say
they will hold their grain for higher
prices, although as high as 4S cents
is now being offered.
Some of them, of course. will sell a
part of their yield within the next
few weeks: some of them will sell
their entire crop, while a few have
already contracted for the disposal
of their grain. These, however, are
in the minority.
A majority of the farmers. local
grain men say. will hold their crops
for higher figure, and some expect
rs cents a bushel. They feel assured
they will be offered that price before
spring.

Hidden aims are hard to heal.
puIoue Shops of Mexico.

Puique Shops Of Mexico.
The government of the federal dis
trict is considering the most practical
and lawful way to remove the pulque
shops from the central part OF the City
of Mexico.
The government has not given Ii
censes to establish any new pulque
shops in the central section of the
city. and as soon as any of the jul
querias are closed on account of the
end of the contract for rent or any
other cause, the government cancels
the license. But there are some of
those shops. the owners of which have
contracts for rent covering ten, fifteen
and twenty years. and some of them
are owners of the buildings occupied.
The government in this case can
not count on the ending Of the con-
tract to close the shops. and is con-
sidering another way to remove them
from that part of the city and still re-
spect the rights Of the proprietors.-

teur In society. but at the same time
he had certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity. and 1t never
paid to bo unduly familiar with him.
"He was. as We all know. rather
bald. He resented. from BARRIERS. or
friends. any allusion to his badness.
"Well, one night at party. a man
came up behind this great artist. stag
gered him with violent slap on the
back, and exclaimed in loud. jovial.
familiar voice:
"Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time l see you, you get balder and
balder'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello.' he said. I don't know who
you are, but every time l see you you
get ruder and ruder.'"
