WILD BEASTS INVADE TOWNS
Snow In Rocky Mountains Cuts on
Their Food Supplies.

Denver, Dec. Unusually heavy
SHOWS on the eastern slope of the
Rockies has forced wild game of
nearly all varieties to overrun the
ranches among the foothills In search
of food. A mountain lion chased two
cows through the village of lnsmont,
a mountain resort. 10 miles from
Denver. The lion passed near to a
man who was carrying gun, but he
missed the hungry beast. A coyote
appeared at the kitchen of the hotel
at Bailey and almost got one of the
landladys dogs, but was driven away
by servant girl.
Antelope, deer and mountain sheep
are seen in large numbers on the
ranches of Fremont county, close to
Canon City, and farmers complain
that they are depicting the stocks of
hay needed for cattle and sheen.

GRAIN GAMBLING is
next ON PROGRAM
Taft Seeks TO Stop Farm Pro-
duct Speculation.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Stock gam
bling In wheat. corn, cotton and other
products of the farm will be prohib-
tied hereafter IL recommendation
soon to be made to congress by Pres
ident Taft Is enacted into law. The
president Is convinced that legitimate
industry suffers from gambling in fu-
lures, and he believes the gullible
public should be protected from this
form OF speculation. Accordingly, he
has decided to urge congress TO adopt
law that will be as effective in
dealing with stock gambling as was
the laws aimed at the sale of lottery
gagged in the business.
The evil of stock gambling will
form the subject of q conference soon
to be held at the White House, The
president is deeply interested and
will make known his views on the
subject in special message or In a
report in a bill soon to be introduced
by Representative Scott of Kansas,
chairman of the house committee.

istration have been consulted by
President Taft In his consideration of
stock gambling. lie believes that the
matter should be approached with the
greatest care and a measure framed
that will solve II without In any way
interfering with the exchange, trans.
fer and sale of stock by legitimate
bodies.
The government has given some at
tention to the question of stock gam
bling. The Cotton Exchange in New
York and like bodies I'm other cities
have been subjected to close In
quiry by the commissioner of corpo-
rations, Herbert Knox Smith. Incl
dentally the federal authorities have
made inquiries as to gambling In fu-
lures as general proposition, with
the result that q decision has been
reached that the government should
deal with this question as far as lies
within its power and authority.
After conference with Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson and other Off
cials of his department, Chairman
Scott introduced a bill prohibiting
the use OF the mails for any transac-
tions having to do with future gam
bling on the products Of the farm.
