Turbine Gas Engine.

New York.-A Herald correspond
ent at Fort Wayne, Ind, telegraphs
that Franz Burger. a well known local
inventor, has patented small turbine
gas engine which. it is said. will rev.
olutionize motive power for warships.
Mr.. Nixon. the shipbuilder. is now in
correspondence with Burger relative
to his patent. 1t is said that with
Burgers invention warship can at
tain speed of sixty knots an hour.
Another thing in its favor is its very
small size. doing away with the waste
of room required in the present sys.
tenn of boilers and reservoirs.
The attention of shipbuilders has
been aroused by his invention. Mr..
Burger is an inventive genius and has
patented many things which have
done a great deal toward undermining
the mechanical world.

The brawl started at the farm over

In this clash clubs and knives took a

Decreased Flour Shipments.

Minneapolis.-Flo shipments from
Minneapolis for 1907 will fall short OF
the total shipped during 1906 by nearly
/ ,0OO, 900 barrels. This decrease ap-
parently has not been entirely due to
the financial furry, as the figures for
each month show that only in three
months for the entire year have the
shipments for 1907 exceeded those for
the same months in 1906.
rhe number of barrels of flour sent
out from Minneapolis by the various
mills so far this year have been 49,
S25.315. while for the corresponding
period In 1906 there We're 1i,513.l23
barrels shipped, difference of 147.'
74S barrels.
Despite the recent financial strin-
gency the sales of -four for use in the
country or for export did not sufer
so much as was generally expected.
The shipments for October this year
were l.499.0S2 barrels. against 1888
O97 last year In November this year
the greatest falling on is shown with
shipments OF l.067 $40 barrels against
1.31S. .GiS year ago. For the trading
days in December up to the present
679.27l barrels have been sent out as
against 979.i94 for the corresponding

LAND FRAUD SUITS FAIL.
Judge Lewis Quashes Indictments In
United States Court.

Denver.-Judge Robert E. Lewis
States Court Tuesday which will have
the effect of stopping coal and timber
land fraud Investigations in Colorado,
and probably throughout the entire
West, If sustained by the United
States Supreme Court. 1t is the most
decisive check that has yet been
placed upon the government policy OF
conducting gigantic land fraud inves-
legations throughout the West under
the Department of Justice.
Judge Lewis quashed the indict-
ments against Alexander T. Sullen-
berger, Pagoso Springs; Charles ID.
McPhee, Denver; John ]. McGinnity.
Denver; Edgar Nj. Biggs, Denver;
Welsh w. Nossaman, Pagosa Springs;
James S. Hatcher. Pagosa Springs;
Charles II. Freeman, Durango; Ellis
NJ. Hampton, Pagosa Springs; Z. X.
Caldwell, Pagosa Springs; Eudolphus
NJ. Taylor, Pagosa Springs, and Rob
ert E. Sloan, Pagosa Springs, charg-
ing them with conspiring to defraud
the government of valuable timber
lands.
In handing down his opinions Judge
Lewis intimated from the bench and
from his written opinions that he
would also Quash the coal fraud inves-
legations.
Two questions of great Importance
are decided. One is that contracts
for the transferral OF timber lands al
ter application has been made for the
requirement are legal contracts and
hence cannot be of "A criminal nature
The coal land laws even permits
greater latitude than this. as there Is
no federal law prohibiting two parties
from contracting for the requirement
of coal land. although the party to
file has not thought of doing so up to
the time of the contract
The second question settled Is that
the rules made to govern the trans
ferral of coal and timber lands by the
land Office at Washington are worth
less when II comes TO trying to estab-
lish oifenses which may be criminally
prosecuted. The rules may apply in
civil cases. according to Judge Lewis.
but Congress Is the law making body
and the land office cannot create
criminal laws by itself.
Although left with hardly leg
upon which to stand. the Department
OF Justice officers. who have been
gathering evidence upon these al
legged frauds. say they will appeal the
case tc the United States Supreme
Court At once. Should they not do
so. the Investigations would have to
cease.

OLD PEOPLE MURDERED.
Fearful Crime Committed On Ranch
Near Lamar.

Denver-A Republican special from
Lama, Colorado, Thursday. says:
One of the most fiendish crimes in
the history OF this part of the state,
which must have occurred some time
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing, was revealed today by the autopsy
held by Coroner Kellogg over the
bodies of A. II. Maxwell and wife, well
known people who resided on a claim
eight miles southeast of here.
Both Of the aged pair had evidently
been strangled to death while they
slept and there was little indication OF
4 struggle. The post mortem revealed
that the trachea in each of their
throats had been broken and the
bruises on Mrs. Maxwells body and
broken bones in her chest were evi-
IDENTIFY the result of the weight of the
assassin's knee while he choked her
to death.
Ed Maxwell, nineteen years OF aye,
who was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Maxwell when he was seven years old,
was placed under arrest and is being
held in Jail here pending further in
vestigation.
Young Maxwell is reticent, but says
he knows nothing of the affair and
that he will he able to prove an alibi.
The last seen of the Maxwells alive
was Saturday. Yesterday being Christ
mas day, Mr. and Mrs. Merritt, neigh
bors, sent their son to the Maxwell
ranch to take some Christmas pres
ents. On reaching the barn lot the
youth heard the cattle believing ana
the horses neighing as though they
had not had food or drink for several
days.
On going to the house he saw no
signs of life about the place. and being
frightened hurried home and notified
his father, who returned with his son.
On entering the house and going TO
the bed room OF the aged couple, Mer'
ritt was greeted with the horrifying
spectacle of seeing them both dead in
bed. They were dressed in their night
clothes and at first II looked as though
the couple had met death peacefully
and 1t was supposed by Mr.. Merritt
that death had been due to natural
causes.
Word was sent to Coroner Kellogg
at this place. and he. with the sherir
and other authorities. drove to the
Maxwell home. and an investigation at
once suggested that death was due to
foul play.
The bodies were brought to Lamar
and were placed in charge of local
undertaken and this afternoon the
autopcv was held. revealing the cause
OF death. The inquest was postponed
until next Saturday afternoon in order
TO give the authorities more time 10
investigate the murder.

As a direct result Of the ceaseless

were used before and after the en-

affair given by both parties Is as di'
vergent as their newspaper articles
have been. All Denver buzzed with

The automobile may have its uses.
The Touring club of France, composed
of bicyclists and automobiles. has Ia
ken up the work of reforestry and got
1t under way on broad and sound
basis. The theory was that the de-
struction Of forests lessened the pleas
urs of travel. Auxiliary societies have
been started everywhere. and by their
efforts tree culture is now taught in
the public schools. Prizes are given
both to teachers and to pupils for good
work in this line. The club has also
for the preservation of forests. This
is better than running over pedss-
TRANS, at least.

AIamosa Depot Burned.

Denver-A Republican special from
Alamosa Wednesday night says: The
Rio Granie freight and passenger de-
pot and the transfer p latform were
burned this afternoon. the less being
$1,000.
The origin OF the fire is unknown, but
It started in the east end of the freight
depot, when all employees we're at their
Christmas dinners. The flames were
well under way before discovered ane
because of the low pressure Of city wa
ter the firemen could do little to check
them. Most OF the baggage was saved,
but nearly all freight in the freight
house WAS destroyed. A switch engine
pulled a string OF cars near the depot
out of reach OF the flames.
1t IL reported that the company will
replace the burned building, which was
frame structure, with a much more
costly depot, containing a lunch coun-
ter and other modern improvements.
There was some insurance on the
building. Temporary headquarters are
now In hay warehouse near the
burned depot.
