The fire was started by an over

There were but two exits in the
building available to the excited

freely by the pupils. but the other

but the escape of many was cut off

The building was built of brick,
but this did not seem to retard the
progress of the flames.
In few minutes the lower floor
fell precipitating scores of children

This afternoon Sheriff Charles F.
Schrader received a telegram from
Governor Henry A. Buchtel asking
him If the sheriff had turned Earl
Force over to the wyoming authori-
ties. and, If he had not done SO, to
inform the governor of his reason
for refusing to obey his orders.
Evidently Governor Buchtel is
very determined to turn Force over
to the wyoming authorities in spite
of the charges that were lodged
against him here.
Sheriff Schrader wired Governor
Buchtel that Force was in the hands
of the district court, and it is not
up to the sheriff to say whether or
not he shall be turned over to the
Wyoming authorities.
Sheriff Schrader has acted entirely
under orders from District Attorney
Selig in refusing to let Force leave
his (the sheriff's) custody. Cover
nor Buchtel doesn't seem to under
stand that he has no right. under the
circumstances, to interfere with the
courts in the matter of the custody

ROADS TO DEMAND
MUCH BETTER RAILS
Especial to The Sentinel. }


Chicago, Mar. steps have been
taken by prominent railroad men in
Chicago to compel the manufacturers
of steel rails to furnish the railroads
with better and safer rails.
Important changes in the specifi-
cations for steel rails have been de-
cided upon and breach in the COM
mittee has been healed. During a
former session Julius Kruttschnitt,
director of maintenance and opera
ton for the Hartman lines, charged
the Pennsylvania with bad faith but
at the last meeting this matter was
patched up.
The committee has decided to re-
port in favor of rail with some
what broader base and with a differ
ent shaped head. These changes. it
is said, will make better balanced
rail and one which will be able to

TWO HUNDRED LITTLE
CHILDREN PERISHED
UNION MEN TO GATHER
TO DISCUSS STRIKE OUTLOOK

Not since the Colorado & Southern
trainmen's strike last summer will
Denver have had such an array of
union officials as will visit that city
this week to confer with the Denver
& Rio Grande officials regarding the
abrogation of its labor contracts.
One of the international officers of
the blacksmiths' union is already in
Denver, and grievance committees
from all parts of the Rio Grande sys-
TEN, representing the machinists, the
boilermakers and the carmen, will
be there today.
The Denver & Rio Grande is facing
a serious situation; but its officers
claim that they will stand by their
action to annul all contracts with
these unions and the machinists' un-
ion on March IA.
The committees of the various un-
ions will arrange for meetings with
General Manager A. c. Ridgway of
the Denver & Rio Grande, and if his
explanation of the withdrawal from
the terms of the contract is not sat
isfactory, strike votes will be or
dered.
The machinists have already or
dered a strike vote, and the returns
are coming in fast; but the result
will not be announced before tomor-
row. 1t is rumored (but it cannot
be confirmed) that the machinists
by large majority, are voting in ia
vor of enforcing the contract by a
strike.
There have been reports the past
few days that the Denver & Ric

men with Japanese in the event OF

He was arraigned this afternoon for
trial plead guilty, as announced else
where. and was sentenced to not less
than s years nor more than 8 years
in the Colorado penitentiary. He
stands convicted and he must now
enter upon his sentence at the pri-
SON.
II Governor Buchtel is determined
to turn the criminal over to the wy
oming authorities he can now pardon
Force and then turn him over to the
governor of Wyoming.
Forces conviction in this court on
the horse theft charge was certain.
As far as The Sentinel can learn, his
conviction on the murder charge in
wyoming is not absolutely certain.
The Mesa county officers captured
Force and are therefore wise in hold
ing him. After he has served his
sentence in the Colorado state pri-
son he can then be turned over to
the wyoming officers.
In his letter to the governor Sher-
if Schrader informed him that Force
had today plead guilty. had been con-
victed and sentenced to the peniten-

DISCOVER NEW AND
FATAL HORSE MALADY
Veterinarian at State Agricultural
College Sounds Warming to the
Owners Against Disease Re-
sembIing Philippine Sura.

Not to be distanced by members of
the medical fraternity who are con-
stantly discovering new and strange
diseases in humans, the veterinaries
have been making Investigations of
late which have resulted in the dis
covery of a fatal disease for horses.
DR.. George Fl. Glover, dean of the
veterinary science department of the
Colorado Agricultural College, has
issued a warning to horsemen and
breeders, and, although no known
cure exists, he has asked that all
cases be reported to the college,
which will attempt to find a remedy
by experiment.
The disease is rapidly becoming 6
prevalent in the west. The provin-
cial government of Canada and the
Legislature of Kansas have made ap-
preparations to study it. 1t resem-
bles more closely than anything else,
according to DR.. Glover, the dreaded
surra of the Philippines.
1t is called at present swamp fe-
yer, although no reason exists for
scribed as follows: The horse does
not seem to possess his usual vigor
tires easily; is seen standing
around yawning like tired person.
One day the animal will have a high
fever and refuse food; the next day
the horse appears to be normal. The
mucous membrane of the mouth and
nose is pallid, with little red spots
which are quite characteristic of the
disease. The horses legs swell to-
ward the last and the animal stag
gers around for few days, finally
dying in delirium. 1t may last any
where from tlree weeks to eight
months and always proves fatal.
