shape about the building. At that time
he examined the safe and turned on
the combination. The safe is four feet
high and of about the same width,
built of steel.
Robbers Strip Bedrooms.
Some time after he had fallen asleep
on the second floor of the hotel, the
burglars effected an entrance by means
of skeleton keys. Working with the
skill of professionals, they used iiles,
axes. and an axle for the purpose of
moving the safe. They even made
their wny upstairs and confscated pill

purpose of lessenins the noise of get-

first witness for the prosecution in the

Miss Wanamaker then proceeded to
describe the beating of her mother by
her brother Charles at their home on

Features of the Stock Show.

Denver.-An object lesson for every
farmer and ranchman in Colorado as
well as the thousands of visitors from
other states, will be the exhibition of
Colorado grain and forage products
which will form an important part of
the live stock exposition to be held in
Denver January 20th-25th. Prof w. H.
Olin of the State Agricultural College,
has the exhibition in charge. The ex-
hibition will be unique in many re-
spects and will give the visitors to
the show splendid idea of what the
state is capable of producing in this
line. The different kinds of grains
and forage and the uses to which they
are put and the different processes
through which they go in the way of
manufacture will all be demonstrated.
The exhibit will have considerable
space at the exposition.
Stock growers and feeders the coun-
try over were astonished at the show
ing made by Colorado at the recent In
ternational Live Stock exposition in
Chicago and they want to know more
about this wonderful state and what it
can produce. Letters received by the
managers of the western show indicate
that the attendance of breeders and
feeders from the east will be unusually
large this year. Buyers from all of the
eastern markets are coming out in
force also prepared to bid on some of
the fancy stock shown Prices prob
ably will range much higher than they
did at the Chicago show which was
held in the midst of the recent finan-
cial furry.
Representatives from all of the farm
ers' and stockmen's papers will be in
Denver for the exposition and will give
the state much valuable advertising in
their publications.
One of the biggest crowds OF the
year will be in Denver for stock show
week and probably only the Democratic
national convention in July will be a
bigger affair in point of attendance.

Anniversary of AnthracIte.

Anthracite coal was first used for
domestic fuel in February, 1908, al
though it had been used by gunsmiths
and blacksmiths for nearly 40 years
previously. Judge Jesse Fell, of
Wilkesbarre. Pa, adjusted crate of
iron bars in the fireplace in the public
room Of the Fell tavern, and proved
TO his neighbors that the "black
stones" would burn without the use
of forced draft. The Wyoming His
torical and Geological society has late
1y sent out call for the celebration
of the hundredth anniversary of this
event next February. Bituminous coal
had been used in this country long be-
fore 1908. 1t was discovered near
Richmond, Va, in 1710, and mining
operations were begun in 1850. In
England, as far back as 1850, the rec
ords of the bishop of Durham show
entries of leases for the privilege of
mining pit COAL" as it was then
called. Those who object to the pres
ent high price of anthracite may be
interested to know that soon after its
Introduction as domestic fuel the price
was six and eight dollars a ton. Even
at these figures the people were
burning diamonds" for anthracite
coal is, next to the diamond itself, the
purest form of carbon found in a
natural state. The best quality of an
thracite contain not more than five
per cent. of other substances

Boise, Idaho.-The end OF the prose
murder of Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-

of Harry Orchard and Jack Simpkins.
came Saturday with the acquittal OF
George a. Pettibone.
Charles H. Meyer. president of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
formally released Saturday afternoon
at O'Clock and will return with Pet
tibone in few days to Denver.
The case of Orchard, the self-con-
fesscd assassin of Steunenberg, is In
the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Van
Duyn, of Canyon county. No state
ment as to the future procedure in
that case has been made, but it will
be called during, the next term of
court at Caldwell, when it will prob
ably be finally disposed of.
Simpkins, member of the executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners, who is charged with compile
ity in the crime, is fugitive from JUS
tice, and the charge against him will
stand.
When the Meyer case was called by
Judge Wood Saturday afternoon, James
H. Hawley, representing Prosecuting
Attorney Van Duyn, sgnified the de-
sire of the state to have an order of
dismissal entered.
81 am satisfied" said Judge Wood.
that the course taken by the district
attorney and decided upon by attor-
neys for the state, is the proper course
to be taken in the matter. 1 have
watched the evidence carefully, SO far
as the connecting and corroborating
evidence under the statute was con-
-, to &c, Iafa
dant, and there has certainly moth
ing developed in the two cases that
would justify the court in submitting
the case against him to a jury, un-
less there was considerable additional
connecting testimony to that which
which has been shown in the two cases
that have been tried, and for that rea-
son the case will be dismissed and an
order generating the bail of the de-
fendant"
In addition to dismissing the case
against C. H. Meyer, the state dis
missed the perjury case against Dr.
McGhee of Spokane and C. w. Alley
of Cripple Creek, both of whom were
accused of giving false testimony in
the Haywood case. 1t is understood
the case against Yost, charged with
tampering with talesman during the
Haywood trial, will also be dismissed.
Although the Pettibone Jurors
agreed that their deliberations should
be kept secret, it is stated that on the
first ballot the vote was 8 to 4, the
majority being for acquittal.
The second ballot resulted in vote
o. 8 to 8.
The third stood 10 to and so it re-
manned all through the night The
two holding out for a conviction were
finally won over.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Jan. 9.
Last week was a very good one in
the local cattle market. Receipts wers
not heavy but there was a good de-
mand for the stun here and prices
closed 10G25c higher. Good beef
steers found ready outlet, the de-
mand being much better than supply.
Prices ranged from $3.75@$4.35 but
choice kinds are quotable up to $3.50.
Good killing cows from the feed lots
sold at $3.25@s3.5o, several punches
bring the latter price during the week.
Fair to good COWS sold at s2.35@$3.25
with common to fair cows at $1,000
$2.75. Bulls were about dime higher,
best selling at s2s5 with tie range
down to s2.25. veaIs also closed higher
with bulk of best light weight kinds
at $4.z5@$5.50. Feeder and stocker
supply was light and trade was of light
volume during the week. There was
good demand and the steers offered
found ready sale. Right good dehorned
steers are strong to a dime higher but
the general run of stuff, while firm,
shows no material change. Indica-
tions point to a strong demand here
for good feeders and stockers during
the balance Of the month.
The high demand is strong and
prices on this market rule rather
higher than at river points. The mar
ket is little lower than a week ago
with bulk Of the hogs now quotable at
$4.35@$4.45.
Sheep and lamb prices are 25 to SOC
higher than a week ago. The supply
during the week was fair and demand
good. Yearlings sold at s4.75@s5.00,
ewes at $3.80@s410 and lambs are
quotable at s5.75@$6.25 though none
of the latter on sale.

An unusual view of the army has
lately been presented in complaint
from Washington over the decrease in
strength of the coast artillery regi-
ments. The Tenth company. for in
stance. which mustered a hundred
and one men In 1900, was able to get
out only IA in the ranks in October
The explanation offered is that the
men in the coast artillery receive
training in some branch of mechanics,
and can get employment outside at
good wages. One officer instructed his
company in the art of telephone re-
pairing, and made the men SO efficient
that the telephone company in the
neighboring city offered them $50 and
$40 month. and in some cases
bought the discharge of the men, so
that they might begin work before
their enlistment expired. If the army
can train its men as effectively as this
1t ought to be pretty good school.
