Price. Utah.-"Gunplay' &C. L.
Maxwell was shot and instantly killed
here Monday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff Ed. Johnston. Maxwell was
out looking for trouble and drew his
revolver first, but Johnston was the
quicker of the two, firing two shots
through Maxwell's breast. one OF
which passed through his heart.

time of the cattle wars OF more than
twenty years ago. Cattle rustling
proved his forte and he drifted to the
southwest for a time. returning to
Wyoming in 1892, where he continued
his business of cattle stealing with
gambling as a side line
After serving a term in the Wyom-

THE PINCHOT CONTROVERSY
Congress Asked to Make Division Of
Agricultural Mineral and Forest
Lands.

Denver.-The agitation over the
Colorado forest reserves and the ac-
tivities Of Clifford Pinchot broke into
open fire before the Transmississippi
congress Friday afternoon, and after
hot debate a resolution calling upon
congress for a law declaring for a divi-
sion Of the agricultural, mineral and
forest lands, was passed.
The resolution was the one present
ed by former Senator Patterson of
Colorado. 1t had been ia committee
for two days and the feeling was
abroad in the congress that 1t was an
overt attack on Pinchot, and this as
sertion was made on the floor by
Frank Gowdy Of Denver, who opposed
the action.
Mr.. Patterson said he had no inten-
ton Of attacking Mr. Pinchot, and
wanted merely settlement once for
all of the Pinchot controversy, in
which it has been charged that Mr.
Pinchot has overlooked technicalities
in reserving forest lands
Instantly the floor was alive with
prospective speakers for and against
the resolution, and it continued to be
so until Mr.. Gowdy offered an amend
ment commencing the forestry poll
cies of the administration. This was
accepted by Mr. Patterson, and in
turn Mr. Gowdy accepted the Patter-
son resolution. Both were passed, and
this effectively, It is believed, stops
