Washington-Noted for having at

tempted to avenge the death of Presi-
dent Garfield by shooting at Guiteau,
the assassin. William Jones. locally
known as "Bm" Jones. the avenger. a
a farmer, Sunday night shot and killed
John A. Mcpherson of Detroit at
Bates farm, near Brookland, on the
outskirts of this city.
The weapon used was a shotgun,
and McPherson's breast was riddled
with bullets. An unloaded rifle was
found lying beside the body. The
shotgun was found on the porch of
Jones' house.
Jones was arrested shortly after
the killing and brought to this city
and lodged IN jail
Mrs. Jones. who is said TO have been
an eye witness to the killing, has not
been found. Jones admitted to Coro-
ner hewitt that he shot MCPHERSON,
but declares that he acted in self-de-
Tense. The police have learned, 1t is
said. that the two men had quarreled
over possession of horse.
Mcpherson, who was 20 years old,
had been working on Jones' farm
since he was discharged from the
United States marine corps June "a
last.
Several days following upon Presi-
dent Garfield's death, Guiteau was TAX
en- to court Tor n preliminary hearing,
and it was while he was being re-
turned to Jail under charge of District
Marshal Corkhill. that Jones attempt
ed to shoot him. Jones was riding a
spirited horse. He followed the pris-
oner from the court house to within
several blocks of the jail. when he
suddenly spurred his horse. darted
through the crowd. drew a revolver
and fired into the prison van. Guiteau
who was sitting near the door. caught
a glimpse of Jones MS he drew the
weapon. and lodged. The bullet sped
over his head and lodged in the side
of the wagon.
Jones, believing he had killed
Guiteau. dug the spurs into his horses
side and escaped arrest at that time.
He was captured shortly afterward
near Fredericksburg. Va. Jones was
tried and acquitted. Those who re-
member him at that time describe
him as daredevil sort of man and
constantly doing things that drew
him into public notice. Jones in
later years has been regarded as a
good. law-abding citizen. and the po-
lice records fail 10 disclose anything
against him.

RAPID WORK ON
MOFFAT ROAD.
COST OF GRADING is HEAVY ON
TWENTY-FIVE MILES WEST
OF HARMONY.
AN EXPENSIVE 6 MILES
GRADE AT PRESENT RATE OF
PROGRESS WILL SOON REACH
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS.

Denver.-The construction of the
extension of the Moffat road to Steam
boat Springs, in Routt county, by the
Denver-Steamboat Construction Com
pany, of which Col. ID. C.. Dodge is
president, and who is personally di-
recting the work. is progressing much
faster than was contemplated in the
plans of the construction company un-
der the basis of its organization by
the few representative wealthy men
of Denver, who are advancing the
necessary money.
For the first twenty-five miles west
OF harmony, largely through stipend
Gus canons, the grading alone cost an
average of $5S.O00 per mile, and six
of these miles cost more than 100000
each, while the banner mile in Egeria
canon cost upwards of $4,000. fig
ure never before reached in the his
tory of railway construction in the
Rocky mountain region. To these
enormous figures must be added the
cost of bridging and track construc-
tion. ID. II. Moffat is unlocking the
gateway to the empire of Routt county
and the West to railway communica-
tion.
The construction company in its
contract with Mr.. Moffat, undertook
to complete the line from harmony to
Steamboat Springs within period OF
fifteen months from January 10th last,
which would require the work being
finished not later than April 10th of
next year. and the cash subscriptions
of the members of the syndicate were
accordingly arranged to be made pay
able In monthly installments over
that period of time; but, as stated, the
work has been pushed forward more
rapidly than was originally intended
and the completed line up to Yampa
was turned over to the operating COM
pany September 18th and regular
trains have been running to that point
since that date.
With favorable weather conditions
the grading of the remainder of the
contracted line up to Steamboat
Springs. a distance of but eighteen
miles. will be entirely completed by
the end of this month. as will also
the bridge building. when the work of
track laying will be resumed and like
wish completed; the final installment
of rails having already gone forward
to the front.

Colorado q Southern Report.

Denver.-Despite the financial de-
preston, the annual report of the
Colorado & Southern railroad for the
year ending June so. 1908, shows a
healthy increase in revenues. besides a
large outlay for improvements in
equipment and increase in mileage.
The report has just been made public
The total operating revenue for the
year was $14 ,2so, 535.24. an increase of
$9OG.731.l9 over last year. The oper-
ating expenses were 1854 .2O5.s1. an
increase of s612, 5S1.62. The net in
come, after the payment of all ex-
penses and interest on bonds, was s2,-
11.9O3.32. an increase of $S0,045.57
over last year.
The increase is considered especial
. Iy satisfying in view of the fact that
most of the roads of the country have
shown decreases.
Among the improvements made for
the year is the new line to Louisville
Junction, which has completed the
electric line between Denver and Boul-
der. The cost of this was s254 400. o.
Other Colorado improvements con-
sisted of bank widening and ballast
Ing Vi tHe roauS IN the fOTt COLLINS
district. the expense of which was
$25.0ll.02. Large amounts were ex.
pended for rock ballasting of parts of
the Fort Worth & Denver line.
The total outlay for improvements
during the year, including the erecting
of buildings along the line and the i'm
provement Of machinery. was $943,-
S1O.26. The amount expended for new
equipment was 1921 $500. These
amounts are about the average. IL is
stated that improvements will con,
tinue during the current year and
more building of tracks will be re-
corded than for many years.
The new electric line to Boulder
has added materially TO the revenue
of the road, proving to be one of its
best paying investments. There has
also been considerable increase in
freight traffic on the Fort Worth &
Denver line.
The number of passengers carried
for the year was 2.935,266, as com
pared with 2.S01 .699 for last year. The
average rate received per passenger
per mile was z.53 cents.
