Y. N. c. A. Officials Do Not Ex-
pect Contractors to Ask
Settlement at this Time.
LIEN LITIGATION CERTAIN
ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES HAVE
HELD OUT FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO PROTECT CREDIT
ORS OF THE CONTRACTORS.

Officers of the Y. NJ c. A. ara not
surprised that the contracting firm OF
Caldwell & Drake, of Columbus, Ind
have made no effort to collect the
amount due them for the construction
of the Richmond Y. M. c. A. building
In fact these officers do not believe
the contractors will make any such
effort until called into court by lien
proceedings, brought by the Y. NJ. c.
A. management. 1t is thought that II
will probably be several weeks before
the building is formally turned over
to the trustees. The association is
fully protected by its bond and no UNI
easiness is felt by the officers.
Under the terms Of the contract be
tween the contractors and the associa
ton. the association is holding one
tenth Of the contract price until the
final settlement is made. This
amounts to about $4,000. The other
payments have been met by the asso
citation.
Liens Amount $1,000.
However there are liens against the
building which will amount to abou,
$4,000. These liens should be paid by
the contractors but as they have not
done SO, the association has taken an
other method of protecting itself. II
has asked that all firms or persons
who may have bills against the con
tractors, to file liens and the associa
ton will guarantee that payment will
be made them from the $4,000 yet due
the contractors. Not until these bills
have been paid and the contractors
show receipts of same will the associa
ton accept the building.

Fruit Growers Fight Frost.

The cold weather Of Friday aud Sat-
growers of Colorado a great deal of
anxiety. At Canon City the mercury
fell to l5 below freezing and smudge
pots were kept busy. At Delta, Mont
rose aud Paonia the fruit buds are
back ward aud, while some damage
was done to early peaches, cherries
and apricots, the crop was not greatly
damaged. In the Grand Valley the
fruit was in bloom and the smudge was
all that saved it. About 20 per cent of
the orchards In this valley were pro-
vided with smudge pots. The Arkan-
sas valley suffered from the cold. The
frost not only destroyed the early fruit
but the beets that were above ground
were badly damaged and It Is reported
that about 25 per cent of the crop will
have to be replanted. In the Dolores
and Montezuna valleys the fruit was
not damaged to any extent. The
mercury only dropped to 8 or s degrees
below freezing, and while some Of the
apricot blossoms were killed there are
still more than enough live ones left on
the trees. Fruit here is back ward and
prospects good for large crop. We
have not heard definitely from the
McElmO canon, where the early fruit
was in full bloom, as to what damage
was done there.

Murder Near lockwood.

ivh9s SSs A~Nes s\O~s~ "
The following is from Wednesday,
Durango Deinocrat.-AbOut noon yes
tersiay, on the ranch four miles north
of Rock wood, W. f.. Maloney, man
SO years Of age, murdered John Nary
without the slightest apparent provo
cation.
Mike and John Nary were working
In the field when Maloney approached
John and engaged him In conversation.
The brother, Mike, was not close
enough 10 bear what WAS said, but al
ter few words he saw Msloney draw
81 revolver from his pocket aud fire
directly into his brother Johns face.
There was q second shot aud then
honest old John Nary dropped, never
to rise again. Then Maloney ran away
and Mike Nary aud n Mr.. Lechner
covered up the body and one came to
lockwood and telephoned Sheriff
Clarke and District Attorney Lane,
and they departed Immediately for the
scene Of the tragedy, leaving here about
2 p. m. yesterday.
There was no reason for such trag-
edy and the only way the residents OF
lockwood account for 1t Is on the
ground Of insanity, as they now report
that Maloney has been acting very
queer of late He has made violent
threats against a number Of people in
that vicinity and only II few days ago
lady Of the neighborhoOd who was
riding horseback WAS met aud threat
ened by him and had to return to Rock
wood To get help so she could pass on
without danger.
Sheriff Clark, District Attorney Lane
and Coroner George Goodman arrived
at lockwood about 5 O'Clock and at
the scene of the tragedy about 9 p. M,
where some twenty men had gathered.
The body was placed in the undertak-
er's wagon and then the sheriff and
men went to the Maloney cabin, where
the sheriff picketed armed guards all
around and then himself approached
the cabin and called TO Maloney, who
answered, "Who's there?" The sheriff
told him his mission and asked II he
was ready to surrender. There was no
reply, but soon the door WAS opened
from within and the murderer appeared
with an axe In his hand. The sheriff
approached him and grabbed the hand
holding the axe, wheir Maloney reached
to his pants pocket for his gun, but
Sheriff Clark beat him to 1t, taking
the gun away from him and giving it
to Hardie Smith. The handouts were
then put on aud the return to Durango
begun.
Upon his arrest Maloney said that
the King of England had sent q spy
over here last week and he ordered the
killing OF all the people up there.
Malony was born at Norfeld Mime
sofa, and at the age Of Is was shot In
the head by an Indian, and the scar
and powder marks are apparent to this
day. This may have unbalanced him.
