QUINCY NEWS

The case of one Gilbert of Spokane
and Adam Weber and Samuel Rel
man of this city was heard in the
Superior court at Waterville this
week. and a decision given in favor
of Messrs Weber and Reiman.
The case made quite an excitement
in this city about three years ago.
Gilbert, of Spokane, was the owner of
several pedigreed stations and en-
ployed a man by the name of Bokay
as his agent to make sales with one
of the stations which he valued at
$4,000 and tried to sell it for that
price. After staying around the
town for about seven weeks he fin
ally sold the animal to Messrs Weber

and Reiman for $1,000, taking in pay
ment two notes Of $500 each. These
two notes Bokay sold to bank in
Odessa, and forged three more, it Is
alleged, for 5000 each, the last three
being sent to Gilbert in Spokane.
Bokay then decided to hunt new pas
lures.
The notes held by the Odessa bank
were redeemed by Messrs Weber and
Reiman, but they refused to stand for
the payment of the other three,
which brought on the suit. S. B..
Hill represented the Quincy people
while NJ. B. Malloy and a lawyer from
Spokane represented Gilbert. In
the trial 1t was shown that Gilbert
had given Bokay power to use his
(Gilbert's) name in business way
and Gilbert consequently lost out.
The case has not yet been appealed.

Glenwood Springs.-With Western

laws. armed with revolvers-aided by
hired horses. all in the broad daylight
the Citizens National bank of Glen
wood Springs of $4,000 and has sen:

The setting for one OF the most re-
markable and daring robberies. even
in the history of the West. which fur
nishes spectacular color for Eastern
writer's OF Observation-Disclosures romance.
outclassed fiction Wednesday after
noon when Mayor E. E. Drach OF
Glenwood Springs. heavy stock
holder in the Citizens National bank.
looked up from his work at the cash
ier's window to gaze into a heavy six
shooter glinting coldly in the sunlight.
All alone in the bank with the eX-
ception OF Z. II. Davis. bookkeeper.
Drach was at the mercy OF the rob-
ber. his compaion in the bank being
covered with the revolver Of q second
outlaw who had gone around the coun-
ter and compelled Davis to throw up
his hands.
Under the counter and within reach
of Mayor Drach's right hand was a
heavy caliber revolver. The bandit
holding the cold muzzle OF the pistol
in the mayors face calmly frustrated
his plan to give fight by compelling
him to throw up his hands.
The true Western atmosphere OF
daring Oitlawry was further accentu-
ated by the escape OF the robbers and
the pursuit by the posse.
After filling flour sacks with gold
and currency while his partner backed
Drach and Davis into q corner Of tho
vault and covered them. the other rob
ber flung the sack over his shoulder
and departed by way OF rear door.
The second man forced Drach and Da-
Wis to accompany them this far. A.
the door two horses were awaiting
them. Upon these the ROBBERS sprang
and before the alarm could be given
had dashed down the alley and out
into Pitkin avenue.

CAR SHORTAGE EXPECTED.

Railroad men are repeating their
warning Of last year to northwestern
dealers and consumers to place their
orders for coal as early as possible
in order to safeguard themselves
against delays incident to = conges-
ton Of tranic. with incidental short
ness in the car supply. They had
reason for their warning Of last year.
despite the fact that business for
months previous had been discourag'
tngly light. but this year they have
what amounts to almost assurance OF
difhculty ahead In the fact that traf-
fic in all departments of the carrying
business Is increasing rapidly. There
are 100000 idle cars in the United
States, Canada and Mexico at the pres
ent time, but orders for rolling stock
are compelling the utilization OF
these cars SO rapidly that managers
are becoming nervous in regard to
the coal trade. Indications point to
an exceptionally heavy movement in
grain during the months in which de-
iayed orders for fuel must be filled in
order to obviate suffering during the
frst cold weather of winter. and those
who wish to avoid anxiety and trou-
BILE are advised to place their orders

so SAYS GOVERNOR sHAFRoTh,
AND HE RECOMMENDS RE-
LIEF FROM LEGISLATURE.
DENVER IS CHEATED
RAILROADS SHOULD PAY ON
BASIS OF TERMINAL VALUES
AND NOT MILEAGE.

Denver.-Declaring that Denver. un-
square deal in the distribution of state
taxes. Governor John F. Shafroth
spoke before the Denver Real Estate
Exchange at it's weekly noon luncheon
here Wednesday. suggesting the
changes which the legislature should
make to wipe out the present abuses.
The discrimination against Denver
was set forth in detail by the chief
executive. who took up the work Of
the state board of equalization and Its
duties under the law and showed that
unless legislative action is taken no
redress can be obtained from the pres
ent burdensome and unjust system.
The governor insisted that Denver
is not being treated fairly under the
present operation OF the law and that
she is deprived Of thousands Of dol
lars a year which rightfully should 20
into her Golfers instead Of benefitting
outlying counties.
Other Counties Favored.
The governor showed by his figures
some startling facts concerning rail-
road taxes In Colorado. Thus. accord
ing to his facts. Archuleta county gets
ten times the taxes Denver receives
from the Denver 4 Rio Grande road.
Delta gets eleven times as much as
Conejos. Gunnison's figures are ST.
0O1.s5o. as against 35s.S50 for Denver.
or just eighteen and onehalf times
as much. These figures are but por-
tion Of thosecited to show the injus-
tice Of the present system.
He gave the following figures:
