Denver, Feb. 20.-The belief that
the action of the Denver &c Rio
Grande in giving notice of the can
collation. of its contracts with the
unions in it's mechanical departments
is preliminary to a general cutting of
wages and the making of new sched-
ules with the labor unions through
out the west is partly confirmed by
stock ticker kilograms from New
York. These reports say that the
wages of over 100000 railroad en-
ployes in the west are to be cut at
an early date.
Another mystifying move was
made by the Rio Grande yesterday
by the posting of a notice canceling
the orders issued two days ago to
put the men on hours time per
day. The forces were put back on
s hours time and a number of the
men were discharged. 1t Is under
stood that about 25 were let out at
the Burnham shops and that the
same rumber in proportion will be
discharged at each of the other shops
on the system.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Feb. 20.
Otto Fehringer, druggist and
wholesale liquor dealer of this city,
was slugged, shot and robbed on a
country road 3 miles northeast of
the city last evening by an unknown
man who had induced the merchant
to accompany him, pretending that
his uncle had some fine wine to sell.
The robber secured a diamond
stud and ring valued at $1,000, 5000
in money and a gold watch.
Fehringers wounds may prove IA
tai.
The identity of Fehringer's as
sailant has not yet been learned by
the police, but they have good clue.
The shooting occurred while the
two men were driving to the home
of an alleged uncle of the stranger,
who told Fehringer that the uncle
wished to buy large supply of IL
quor, and the object of the trip was
to close the deal.
Without a word of warning, the
robber drew a gun and shot his com
panion in the right side, the bullet
penetrating the lungs.

NO REDUCTION in
LEADVILLE SHOP FORCE
Especial to The Sentinel, ,

Leadville, Colo, Feb. 20.-There
will be no reduction i'm the force of
the local repair shops of the Denver
& Rio Granfe railway, nor will there
be cut in wages or in the number
of hours, so far as is known here
now.
When the recent order was posted
by the company in the shops at Dem
yer, Grand Junction, Pueblo and Sa-
Ida, to the effect that the working
hours of the machinists and others
employed in the shops would be cut.
it was expected that similar order
would be carried into effect III this
city. However, no action of the kind
is anticipated at this time.
The Leadville shops are small in
comparison with those at the other
cities named.

The court held that there is but
one ground on which the bill could
be maintained and that was If the
Union Pacific had no right to buy,
hold or own Illinois Central stock.
The court denied that there was
any rule of American common law
prohibiting one corporation from
holding stock in another when the
first corporation has in its charter
the specific power to do so. This
the Union Pacific had.
The attorneys for Mr. Fish agreed
that the dicision could not be ap-
