Colorado Flood Reports.

Denver.-The flood situation in
Colorado is summed up Wednesday
morning by the Republican as fol-
lows:
The flood situation in Colorado is
worst in the Greeley district and the
valley of the Grand river.
The Cache la Poudre river has been
rising steadily for two days at Greeley
and hundreds of acres of beets and
other crops are now flooded, with no
early prospect of fall in the river.
The Union Pacific is sending all
Omaha Cheyenne trains over the
Julesburg route, owing to washouts on
the main line, and the Colorado &
Southern is running through water
between Windsor and Greeley. The
South Platte is bank full and threat
ened to overflow.
At Grand Junction the river, sta
tionary yesterday, began rising last
night, threatening the city water plant
and the big Redlands dam.
Throughout the western slope rivers
are rising rapidly and serious damage
is feared. Many farms are inundated
between Rifle and Grand Junction.
Elk creek is doing much damage at
Newcastle.

DEFENDANTS IN WYOMING SHEEP
KILLING CASES GLAD TO
EFFECT SETTLEMENT.
RANGES OPEN TO SHEEP
COMPROMISE EXPECTED TO RE.
eToRE PEACE AND PREVENT
FUTURE RAiDiNo.

Sundance. Wyo-The noted crimi.
nal case which grew out of the raid
ing of sheep camps and burning Of
ranches Of the Rodney King Sheep
Company and the Guthrie Sheep
Company of Moorcroft and Gillette.
have been settled out of court, the
nine defendant cattlemen paying the
sheep companies all damages, attor-
neys' fees and expenses of prosecution
and agreeing to not again molest the
sheepmen. Valuable range in dispute
was also left to the sheepmen.
Last December the following we'll
arrested, after two of them were re-
ported to have confessed to Joe La
Fors, the detective who trapped Tom
Horn: Orin Sqhires, George Martin.
Sam Mexican, Dan Mossburg, jeff
Mulholland, Stanley Baugh, Andy Nc
Kean, Isaac Mexican, Henry thinner
shield.
According to the confession of
Squires and Martin, who afterwards
repudiated the confession, the first
raid was committed by the nine men
August 81, 1908, when the Barry
ranch of the Guthrie Company, and
the Arch Creek ranch of the King
company were destroyed, with sheep
wagons. hay. etc. From then until
their arrest the nine men are alleged
to have been implicated in four 9TH
er raids upon camps Of the same COM
panies.
Before starting on the raids the
raiders, 1t is said, entered into death
compact whereby, If any member of
the gang divulged what happened, he
was to be killed by the others. After
confessing to La Fors, Martin and
SQuires were separated and kept in
jail. Squires was offered bail, but
preferred to remain in Jail for fear his
pals would kill him.
Recently both men were released
and both went back on their confess
sions. but the prosecutions continued
until few days ago, when attorneys
for the defendants offered the COM
promise which has been accepted.
The outcome marks big victory for
flockmasters who have been patient
sufferers for years, but who demand
enforcement of laws, and will prose
cute raiders, backed by the State AS
