INJURED NAN SUES RAYMOND
CONSOLIDATED MINING co

Pueblo. Colorado, April 12.-Ole
Thompson asked the district court
to compel the Raymond Consoli-
dated Mining company to pay him the
sum of $4,000 for damages sustained
through alleged negligence which re-
suited in an accident which has per-
manently crippled him.
The mining company owns and OPP
crates what is known as the Raymond
tunnel, situated near Ohio City, in
Gunnison county, and on October 16,
1904. Thompson was employed at this
tunnel in the capacity of trammer and
mucker. He alleges in the complaint,
that the tunnel had been negligently
and carelessly constructed and main
tanned, its roof being improperly sup
ported with columns and timbers.
Thompson alleges that he did not
know of the unsafe condition of the
roof, although he has found, he says,
that the agents of the company well
knew OF it. Upon the day mentioned
Thompson was at work about l,4OO
feet from the portal OF the tunnel
when the roof fell, catching him and
so bruising him leg and right foot
that it was necessary to amputate the
latter member, thus permanently Grip
pling him. He asks for judgment oi

DECLARE ROUTT TO BE
OF UNSOUND MIND

Denver, April 13.-With the view of
securing a portion of the property
which Ex-Governor John L. Routt
transferred to his second wife, and
which, under the terms of her will, is
beuueathed 10 her one daughter, Mrs.
Lila Routt Collins. the four children
of Mr. Routt by his first marriage have
filed suit in the county court charging
that their father is, and has been for
years, of unsound mind and unable to
manage his business affairs. The court
is asked to appoint a commission in
lunacy to inquire into the eS-gover-
nor's mental state. and the officers of
the court have been instructed to Sc
cure service on him without inform
ing him of the death of his wife. Gov
ernor Routt has been making his home
with Mrs. Collins and was so i'll when
his wife died that he was not allowed
to hear the news. his physicians fear
ing that the shock might terminate
his life also.
The estate OF John l.. Routt, over
which ii is now expected there will be
long litigation, was decided to Mrs.
Eliza Routt in 1902. and in her will,
recently offered for probate, she di-
vided the property between her daugh-
ter, Mrs Lila Collins, and her hus-
band

SOMETHING ABOUT THE WORK OF
The UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO

by Prof T. ID. A. Cockerell OF the
University OF Colorado. According TO
the writer. university men possess diff
terent kinds OF value. Some are prin-
clpaily OF value 10 the student body
In attendance on their classes. Some
are valuable more particularly to
picked individuals in the university
and out OF IL Such may be said In a
certain sense to have as many stu
dents As those whose classes are
thronged, but they are in many
places. Some will be exceedingly val
uabie to posterity. but their work is
comparatively useless to the present
generation. because IL has not learned
to value or use II. or because II will
only reach It's greatest Significance
and utility after II has been carried
on for two or three generations. The
larger outlook serves to convince US
that the actual worth OF certain pro-
fessors. having in view their total in
fuence upon contemporaries and pos
teirty. exceeds any sum that can be
thought OF as payment On the other
hand. the needs of the great and small
are not so very diverse. Professor
Cockerell has two articles of scientific
interest in current magazines. one On
a Collection of Australian and AsiatIc
Bees In the Bulletin of the American
Museum of Natural History. and an
other on "A New Fly From the Green

related to the principles OF immunity.

of the white officers Of the discharged
negro battalion.
The investigation has proceeded far
enough to convince the committee that
the only way to get at the bottom of
the affair is by examining every man
to see what he knows. 1t has been
brought out that members of Company
c had a chance to secure guns through
the fact that their gun racks were
broken open.
The feature OF the testimony which
most interests the members of the
committee is that all the men on the
stand have said they would be able
to distinguish the report OF the Spring
field rifles or the Krag-Jorgensen from
the reports of other firearms, and most
Of the witnesses said they did not hear
any army rifles. The testimony of the
white officers now under court-martial
is being awaited on this point
Several Senators who have declared
that they believe some members of the
battalion were guilty of the shooting
now say their opinions will be shaken

In the fire. Gallagher refused to ac-
cept such a settlement on behalf of the
city. holding that the receipts for 1905
We're g<eater than 1904 and hence the
city was entitled TO a larger percentage.
The matter has hung fire since then
until now the percentages of two years
have fallen due. Gallagher believes
that a sum in the neighborhood OF $50
600 will be a fair compromise. and he
has instructed Expert Williams to cal
culate the exact amount due based on
a natural increase in the roads re-
