CAPTAIN AUBLE'S ESTATE
SMALLER THAN SUPPOSED
Mayor Harper corrects His Previous
Announcement and Now Gives Its
Valuation as Being Approx
lmately $4,000

Numerous rumors have been started
regarding the size of the estate left by
the late Police Captain Walter H. Au-
BILE, one placing it at 100000.
"At the time of Captain Aubles
DEATH" said Mayor Harper yesterday
in referring to the injustice of these
run1ors, II had been led to believe that
his estate would total 100000, and
was so quoted In the newspapers.
find after careful investigation that
the estate is approximately $4,000, and
consists Of the following: South Hope
street property, $4,000; lots on West
Twenty-seventh street, $500, but mort
gagged for $500; Ocean Park property.
$780, life insurance policy in the Mac
cabees, $4,000; monthly pension from
the police board, $6o.66.
''I have interviewed those who are
supposed to know about the late cap
tain's affairs and have been unable to
find money or property not included in
the above list. Captain Auble had
spoken to me frequently about a ranch
in the northern part of the state and
of an old-line life insurance policy.
find that the ranch was disposed OF
some time ago, after Captain Auble
had experienced heavy losses, and that
the insurance policy had been allowed
to lapse. I make this statement In
Justice to Mrs Auble and her children
and those who feel disposed to a fund
now being raised for the family"

The foregoing exhibits were used in
Police Justice Frederickson's court
yesterday afternoon when Theodore
Harwell of 1859 North Clarence street
was placed on trial for cruelty to ami
mails. He was arrested by s. p. G. A.
Officers Fowler and Stilwell for killing
a cat.
Witnesses testified that the accused
had brutally tortured the creature, and
that from the time he started to kill 1t
to the time Of it's death about two
hours elapsed.
Harwell said he killed the cat be-
cause it stole his chickens. He declared
he chased 1t into a crate and jabbed 1t
to death with a pitchfork having nine
tines-one for each of it's proverbial
lives.
The cat was in the possession Of the
arresting officers, and. its body was
so full of holes that it would not have
contained prunes.
After hearing the evidence Harwell
was fined $40 He was allowed to pay
SIS down and IS each week until the fine
was paid.
While the justice admitted that the
provocation was great, he said 1t did
not warrant the torturing of the ami
NAL. From the number of holes in the
animals body 1t is evident that numer-
Gus applications of the pitchfork were
necessary.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BY
INHALATION OF GAS
Former Book Agent Is Found Lying
InsensIbIe, and Efforts to Restore
Consciousness as Yet Have
Proved Frultless

G. T. Syford. aged so years, former
ly employed as book agent, attempt
ed suicide at his rooms, 537 Maple ave-
nue., yesterday by inhaling illuminating
gas.
Syford had lived in the house for
more than a year, and was usually
prompt in rising. Yesterday, as he had
not left his room at IL O'Clock, the
chambermaid called him, but received
no answer. Concluding that he was
asleep she waited AN hour and then
called him again and received an an
swer that he was sick and did not wish
to get up.
Later in the afternoon John Briggs,
who also rooms in the house, smelled
gas, which he traced to Syford's room.
The door was forced open and the old
man was found lying insensible on the
bed with all the windows and doors
tightly stopped with strips Of cloth.
He was hurried to the receiving hos
pital, where the usual course of treat
ment was followed. Although every
effort was made to revive Syford the
surgeons were unable to do so, and
they state that he probably will die
without recovering consciousness.
No motive is known for the attempt
at suicide, and the police have no in
formation of the names or residence of
any relatives.

California, having long since passed,
your committee has had neither time or
opportunity to test out, the number of
fires necessary to be used, in different
degrees of cold, in fact we believe that
this phase Of the subject, will take
years of experience to determine. in
the meantime we had better use plenty
and succeed, than to use too few and
have our fruit chilled.
We have noted during our investiga-
tions in California, that from forty to
eighty fires are being used to the acre.
the number lighted being determined
by the particular location, and the de-
gree of cold encountered.
More fires being used ON the outside
of the orchard than in the center, and
that it is the usual practice to light
fires. before the thermometer gets down
to freezing. claiming that it is easier to
hold the temperature where it is than
to raise it after it has dropped below
freezing point.
As to the devices used in California
for burning crude oil and coal the best
we saw being used there for burning
oil was the Froude (or so-called Bolton)
pot and the best device we investigated
there for burning coal was the wire
basket, a sample of which we have.
We might say however, that coal is not
used to any extent in California for
this purpose, on account of its exces-
sive price. $500 to sl20o per ton, in
carload lots. while oil may be bought
for Sl.00 per Dbl. freight added.
Your committee has not conducted
any series of experiments as to the
best device for burning either coal or
oil and therefore recommend none. In
fact We consider it more logical that
these experiments be conducted in our
own counties, and with the particular
material at hand. which we shall be
compelled to use, and we therefore
recommend that our different associa-
tions, Immediately appoint committees
who shall at once proceed to conduct a
series Of experiments with the mater
ials we have at hand with the view of
ascertaining and recommending to our
growers, the best and cheapest device
for burning either coal or oil, and the
probable cost per acre of either
method. This information was impos-
sible to obtain in California, many of
their methods We're crude, their mater
ial, both coal and oil are different than
ours. which would render experiments
there questionable, when applied to a
different grade of material here. AS
there must be an expenditure of many
thousands of dollars by our growers in
preparing to fight frost it seemed de-
sirable. before advising this expendi-
ture to obtain corroborative evidence to
our own experiments IN protecting
fruit in low degree frost. Such cor
roborative evidence we have in plenty
and it is our firm belief that if any
grower in Western Colorado loses a
fruit crop from frost, with the same
degree of cold we experienced last
April, it would be because he is un-
willing or unable to avail himself of
the material at hand for firing and an
intelligent use of the same.
