KAUFMAN CASE GAMES UP.

Siuox Falls, S. d.. June IL
The appeal in the case of Mrs.
Emma Kaufman came up for
hearing in the supreme court to-
day. Mrs. Kaufman, who is the
wife of wealthy brewer, and
one of the pioneer re,idents of the
city, was convicted and sentenced
to prison more than year agog
on the charge of having killed
Agnes Polreis, a 16-year-old girl
employed as as servant in the
Kaufman household.
The girl died in a local hospital
on June l, 1906. Reports which
came to the ears of the authori-
ties led to the badly being taken
up after burial and an examina-
ton showed, it is alleged, that the
girl had died from severe beat
ings. Statements made by some
of the girls fellow servants and
bv neighbors resulted in a charge
of murder being brought against
Mrs. Kaufman. Witnesses testl-
fed at the trial that Mrs. kauf-
mann had frequently beaten the
girl in most merciless manner
and that on one occasion she had
thrown boiling water over her.
Physicians testified that the girls
death was in all probability due
to the i'll treatment she had receiv-
ed at the hands of her mistress.
The plea of the defense at the
trial was one of insanity.
Despite the efforts OF eminent
counsel to save her, Mrs. kauf-
mann was convicted and given a
prison sentence. She was immedi-
ately released on heavy bono,
however, as a result of her appeal
to the supreme court. Prior to
the appeal to the supreme court
a motion for new trial had been
denied. 1t may be several months
before the supreme court renders
it's decision.

STAR ATHLETES WILL
RE MISSED

New York, June 12.-The eigh-
tieth games of the New York Ath-
letic club will be held at Travers
island tomorrow afternoon. For
many years these games have been
the feature of the outdoor ath-
letic season in New York, and at
tract all of the best amateur ath-
letes in the country. While big
fields are reported in nearly every
event on tomorrow program, the
entry list has been considerably
cut down by the fact that num-
ber of the best performers are in
training for the Olympic contests
and consequently will be unable

SWEPT OVER RAPIDS
AT SHOSHONE CAMP
From Saturdays Daily Post.


William Winner, aged 23, a
helper on the diamond drill at
Shoshone, lost control of the boat
while crossing the river at $3.50
o'clock last night and was swept
through the rapids and over Sho-
shone falls to his death.
Searching parties have been
patrolling both banks of the river
since daylight in the hope of
sighting the body, but little hope
is entertained that it will be
found for several days
The young man, who has been
in the employ of the company
since May %, came from Scots
Bluffs. Neb., where it is said his
mother is living. DIR. Crook has
wired the postmaster there giving
details of the tragedy and promis-
ing to notify his relatives if the
body is found.

The current is very swift where
the boat crosses, and heavy steel
cables have been stretched to pro-
tect the men in the event of just
such an occurrence as that of last
night.
Winner had gotten within IS
feet of the raft when the boat
was swept out from under him,
and, according to eye witnesses,
he seemed to lose his head, for his
body Strengthened out horizontal

disappeared.

Winner appeared to be a husky
fellow and able to care for him

Just below the point where the
cables are stretched, are rapids
and a little farther on Shoshone
falls, with a drop of thirty feet.
After the young fellow went
down no power could save him.
The company intends to keep
the banks patrolled for several
days, as there is a bare chance
that the body will come to the
surface.
Officers of the neighboring
towns have been notified to keep
close watch of the Grand, as
the current may have carried the
remains several miles down the
stream.

Under the direction of Marshal

That Colorado has marble
enough for the whole country is
the statement made by the Denver
News of June 8, which, in a two
column story by DR.. G. l.. Knapp,
literally illustrated with large
photographs, tells of the opera
tions at Marble. The article, in
part, follows:
This is the story of IA Colorado
enterprise, an enterprise less than
three years old, yet already gi-
ant in an age and land of giants.
1t is chapter in the world-old
story of mans conquest of nature,
and big chapter in the newer
story of man S search for beauty.
That is the distinctive thing about
this enterprise-beauty. 1t means
more for the future wealth of
Colorado than any other single
enterprise | can think of, but it
means more for the future beauty
of the cities of the United States
than any other half-dozen enter
prises combined.
For marble is the chief raw
material for civic beauty; and this
is the story of the Colorado mar
BILE quarries that lie nearly two
miles high over on Yule creek, in
Gunnison county. The greatest
marble deposit in the world lies
there, showing in a cliff 25O feet
high, nearly mile long, and run
ming an entirely unknown dis
tance into the earth.
Two hundred and fifty men are
now at work developing this vast
bed of beauty stuff, and twice as
many more will soon be busy.
One million one hundred thousand
dollars have already been put in
to the enterprise, and machinery
and materials to be delivered by
add $4,000 to that tidy little
sum. Gold mines peter out, sill,
YER mines have already largely
petered out.
But here is a bed Of marble,
worth more to the ton than any
but the best gold ore, and with
supply in sight to last the United
States 1900 years, at the present
rate of consumption. Surely, it is
time that the people Of Colorado
awoke to the work being done and
the wealth being brought to the
state.
When you think how constant
a demand there is for marble. you
will wonder that so magnificent a
deposit remained so long unwork-
ed. The consumption of marble
in the United States has doubled
every ten years for the last half
century. 1t doubled in the five
years between 1902 and 1907.
There is not enough marble in the
world to supply the demand.
There is not enough white marble
in the world to supply one-half of
the demand for that stone.
The quarries at Carrara, Italy,
have been worked for 1000 years,
and though they are not exhaust
ed, their supply of pure white
stone is snapped up faster than it
can be uncovered.
The Vermont marble quarries
have very little really white mar
BILE. none that takes as fine pol
ish as this of Colorado. And mar
BILE is pretty expensive stuff. The
output of these quarries is worth
from $4S to 1920 per ton, just as
it runs.
1t seems strange that this more
than gold mine should lie idle all
this time But the explanation is
simple. The marble was easy to
find, but very hard to reach. The
lowest point Of the ledge is more
than 1000 feet above the valley,
and until lately the nearest rail-

marble, you see, can't be worked
up into small compass at loca
cyanide mill and pocked on don
keyback.
1t needed combinatin Of
brains, energy, capital, nerve-es
pecially nerve-to set the Colo
RADIO marble business on its feet
At last the combination wa:
found. Col. Claiming F. Meek
formerly general manager of the
Union Pacific railroad, investigat
ed the marble deposits, looked
over the ground and saw a chance
to build up vast industry, the
Colorado-Yule Marble company
He formed company, raised the
needed capital, secured title to
the marble deposits and went to
work.
And it was work. The first
question was one of transporta-
ton. There had been railroad
building since the old days, but
the nearest site for mill to work
up the marble was more than 8
miles from the railroad, at Plac-
ita. Then that mill site was three
andsene.half miles from the ledge
of marble.
Colonel Meek went at it to
build the eight miles of railroad
and the supplementary stretch of
wagon road. He began the rail
road in August, 1906, and finished
it in January, 1907. The last of
the work was done with japanese
labor-no other being procurable
for love or money-and if you
want a caustic judgment on the
little brown man, Colonel Meek
can supply it-with extras. The
wagon road was building at the
same time, of course; part of it
was finished before this railroad
was begun.
The railroad climbs up along
side the Crystal river with a max
imum grade of 81 per cent. The
road winds up from the
town of Marble to the quarries,
cut most of the way through
slate, rhyolite and marble. / may
add, as illustrating the way the
wagod road is built, that the Col
onel can make the trip of three
miles and half, climbing l,4OO
feet, in fifteen minutes with his
10 horsepower Stanley steamer.
| have said that the first ques-
ton was one of transportation. In
reality, all questions came up at
once, and all were getting an
swered at the same time. The
story of the way they began quar-
rving the white beauty stone reads
like history of Hannibal cross
ing the Alps.
Let Down by Ropes.
Men were let down the face of
the cliff in slings-Colonel Meek
going first-to cut out place to
set the machinery. When little
level space had been secured they
hauled up a donkey engine with
a hand windlass. Having got the
engine in place, they used that to
haul up the stick and boom of
derrick.
The derrick was stepped and
secured-one of the steel guy
ropes Of the derrick was used to
swing up second derrick; both
of them to raise a third, and all
three of them to hoist the boilers,
dynamos, channeling machines,
and all the rest of the parapher-
