COURT RULES OUT EVIDENCE
Defendants in Colorado Coal Land
Frauds Dismissed.

Denver, Dec. 23.-Federal Judge
Lewis has discharged the defendants
on trial before him for alleged coal
land frauds in Routt county.
The proceedings came TO close
when United States District Attorney
Ward attempted TO introduce letter
alleged to have been written by one
CT the defendants to j. W. Atwell, a
dummy" entryman. The court sus
tanned the objection of the defense to
its introduction on the ground that
there was self-incrimination and took
away constitutional rights.
Judge Lewis also held that the deeds
from several of the defendants to the
Union Land company, which the prose
cution held to have been fraudulent.
could not be introduced to show the
conspiracy.

cases set for trial here may be dis

tween George T. Slade, third vice pres
ident of the Northern Pacific, and
James M. Gruber, general manager of

tween the striking switchmen, the
American Federation of Labor rail
way council and themselves relative to
a settlement of the strike of the
switchmen in the Northwest and that
