SUPERB MADE
 SPEEDY TRIP

Capt. Larson states that he made a trip to BurrO creek and return in the Superb Saturday evening in about IS minutes and 90 seconds, carrying a load of thirten people. The record made by the Elsie in the motor boat race of July was little more than 2 minutes. The Superb was leading fin that race when her batteries gave out and there is but little doubt that the Superb is the fastest launch in Lynn canal with the possible excep- ton of the Princess. A race between these two boats may be arranged.

RANCE WAR BREAKS
OUT IN COLORADO
Cowboys 0verpower Sheepherders,
Tie Them to Trees, and Kill
Three Thousand Sheep.
Frenzied Cattiemen Spent Almost ar
Entire Day in Slaughter Of sheep
After Which They Cut. Telephone
Wires and Escaped.

Grand Junction, Colo.-As a result
cowboys, on a contested range, near
Chez, Colo, nearly 5000 head of sheep
were killed and two sheepmen were
injured, but not seriously. The sheep,
which belonged to Taylor Brothers of
Montrose, were grazing on a range
near the Hamlet of Carbinero.
According to the reports received
here. the cowboys dashed in upon the
herders and tied them to trees and
then went among the sheep and killed
them. The slaughter of the sheep re.
quired almost an entire day. In order
60 prevent the news leaking out, the
cowboys cut the telephone wires and
made their escape in the Mills. Sever
al hours later the sheep herders were
discovered and liberated.
The authorities of Garfield county,
have been notified, but owing to the
fact that the district in which the
sheep slaughter took place is in a
desolate portion OF western Colorado.
It is not regarded probable that the
cowboys will be captured.
The range in which the crime was
committed has long been a contested
range and several murders have re.
suited from quarrels over IT.
Warrants have been issued by the
authorities of both Mesa and Garfield
counties for the arrest of sixteen
raiders. several of whom are said to
be known to the sheepmen.

FRENCH POSTMEN TRYING
TO GET BACK POSITIONS
Strike Has Collapsed and Leaders
Are Throwing Responsibility for
Failure Upon Each other.

Paris.-The curtain was rung down
amid determinations by the leaders,
who tried to throw the responsibility
for the failure upon each other and
the defeated postal employees.
The end came when a few hundred
laborers voted to resume work. The
general federation of labor then threw
up the sponge and issued a manifesto
trying to cover up their retreat, eX-
planning that the postal employees
were over-confident of the success Of
their second strike, (which every
thing shows was prepared and insti
gated by the government which was
DESTROYS OF an opportunity for aveng-
ing itself against the leaders of the
first strike"
The statement adds that the strike
of the excavators and other workmen
having sufficiently demonstrated the
solidarity of the proletariat and the
postmen, there is no reason to call
out other unions, notably the cleo
tricians, who had expressed their
willingness to enter the fight.
With the surrender OF the fedora
ton the strike of the postmen col
lapsed entirely and the few still on
strike decided to try to secure their
old positions. The postmen and a
few of the other unions are now rails

dismissed postal employees $50 a
