Killed Many sheen.

Grand Junction, Colo, May 90
AS a result of fight between sheer
men and cowboys on a contested
ring near Atchee, Colo, more than
1900 head of sheep were killed and
two sheep men were injured, but not
seriously. The sheep belonged to S.
A. Taylor and R. A. Tawney. They
were grazing near Carbinero. Ac-
cording to the accounts received here
sixteen cowboys surprised the herd
ers, tied them to trees and then
started to slaughter the sheep with
knives and guns. Toward the last
they began wounding the limbs and
cutting off the legs of the animals
and turning them loose. They then
cut the telephone wires and escaped
into the wilds Of the mountains. Sew
eral hours later the herders were
discovered and were liberated.
Warrants have been issued for
the arrest of all Of the sixteen cow
boys. The sheep men of Mesa and
Garfield counties have announced
that mass meeting will be held to
provide rewards for the capture and
conviction of the raiders. There has
long been contest between the two
factions and several murders have
resulted In past years.
Sheriff Wilmoth, of Garfield coun-
ty, with half score of deputies, left
for Moob tho ,,,,..A -,
road station to the outrage and will
at once take the trail for the scene
of the depredations. 1t is said that
the raiders were recognized by the
herders. If captured in the wild
country they can easily be connect
ed with the crime. Reports received
here late tonight add the theory that
the raiders were rival sheepmen from

ANOTHER JOB FOR TAFT
Urged to Take Initiative to Reduce
Armies and Nayies.

Mohonk Lake, May 20.-"Sad,
crazy, mad, emotional insanity and
sinful" were some of the terms used
today by ]. Allen Baker, member
Of parliment, in telling the peace
conference about Great Britian's
lreadnaught program. He admit
ted that the British house of COM
mons was the chief sinner in start
ing the dreadnaught competition.
Barker declared that the British,
German and American governments
have 1t in their power to stop the
present program and invited Presi-
dent Taft to take the lead. Repres-
entatives of fifty-eight chambers of
commerce in this country and Canada

a lack OF positive conviction in the
church upon this greet doctrine, a
lack Of well defined notions con-
corning it which do not hesitate to
defend themselves.
The UNCONVENTIONAL contentious
OF today can but impress the world
most favorably. What waste of
men and money, and what for?
To bring Christ to the world? Alas
too often to build up our particular
sect.
1T may be that the church, like
truth, has its periods of analysis be-
fore it reaches its periods of syn
thesis. Have we not come to the
end of the period Of analysis and
shall we not now, with an energy
which has the emphasis of tremen-
duous conviction, enter into the
period of synthesis when the church
of Jesus Christ shall be one? Think
OF the power of a united Protestant
ism! When will the day come when
united Romanism and united Heather
ism shall be met and matched by
a united Professionalism? OF course,
you understand, that the church
must be spiritualized before it can
become one,'
At the conclusion of the address
a recess was taken until 8 O. clock
this afternoon, when the election of
a moderator was held.

Helms Takes stand.

San Francisco, May 21.-The ad-
journment OF court tonight ended the
most important week in the long
trial of Patrick Calhoun, president
of the United Railroads. The tenn
pers of both sides were worked to
a thin edge today when Rudolph
Spreckles and John Helms alternated
on the stand. Helms told Of sew
eral efforts he alleged had been made
to prevent his appearance as wit
ness. He said that two men had
visited his home in Trinity county
several weeks ago and he charged
that since coming to the city that
a plot had been laid in the office Of
w. H. Metzen to trap him into a
conversation over the. telephone.
A dramatic outburst occurred
when Helms charged that w. M. Alb
bott once expressed to him wish
that someone would shoot Heney and
that Stanley Moore congratulated
him on his performance in following
w. J. Burns. Moore declared:
Helms, you are lying like dog!"
The face of the witness paled as he
stood in front of the bench and de-
fed the attorney to make good the
charge.
Late in the session Prosecutor
Heney, ignoring two restraining
orders issued by court of equal
iurisdictfOn announced that no
would ask for permission to open
sealed packages seized in raids upon
the office of William M. Abbott and
alleged to contain documents stolen
from Detective Burns. The argu-
ments were postponed until Monday.

Men Who Slaughtered Sheep In Colo
RADIO are in Hiding.
Grand Junction, Colo, May 81
A sheriff's posse, reinforced by a
large number of sheep men, secured
the country today in the vicinity Of
Atchee in search Of the raiders who
on Wednesday slaughtered nearly
5000 sheep at Taylor's camp. Thus
far it has been impossible to find
any clew as to the where abouts Of
the marauders. The sheep men claim
that the present band is the same
that murdered Peter Swanson, a
herder at Indian Creek, two years
ago. A reward Of $4,000 offered at
that time for the arrest of the men
is still standing. The feeling here
is at a high pitch and should the
posse and sheep men meet the raid
ers pitched battle would probably
result.

A man has a right to buy booze

TAFT IS DRENCHED.

Time at Charlott. South

Charlotte, S. c., May 2O-Cloud
burst this afternoon and drenched
PRESIDENT Taft while he was review
Ing the state militia. The crowd
rushed to shelter and many serged
into the presidents box. Taft had
to be surrounded to save him from
the sudden crush. A passing indns-
trial float became entangled in a
loose live wire and the thread of
copper sagged almost to the heads
OF the persons in the scampering
tnrong. There was a flash of flames
and thunderous report close to
where the president was standing.
1t developed later that powder in
tended for salutation purposes had
been prematurely ignited. No per-
son was injured.
All Charlotte today lent itself to
the reception of President Taft, who
was guest of honor at the ami
versary celebration Of the signing of
the Mecklenburg declaration of in
dependence, document said to have
been promulgated here on May 20,
1775, nearly year in advance of
the declaration at Philadelphia.
By proclamation of the mayor the
day was observed as a general holt
day. Business houses and Offices
were closed and along the route of
the procession from the railroad sta
ton to the Solwyn hotel and thence
to the reviewing stand in the court
house square, where the principal
ceremonies of the day took place,
residences and stores were covered
with decorations in the national
colors. Handsome arches spanned
Trade street, Tryon street and otner
leading thoroughfares. The side
walks were packed with people who
welcomed the president with rous-
ing cheers.
The arrival of the president short
ly after 10 o'clock was signalled to
the waiting people by a salute of 81
guns fired by the Charlotte Artil-
lery. A citizens reception commit
tee escorted the distinguished Wis
itors to the Selwyn hotel, where they
were formally welcomed by official
representatives of the State of North
Carolina and the City of Charlotte.
At noon the procession formed
and proceeded through the gayly
decorated streets to the reviewing
stand. The line was headed by
platoon of police, followed by Grand
Marshal Stikeleather of Asherville,
and his staff. The Marine band fur
nished the music and the military
contingent was composed of United
States cavalry and infantry and sew
eral companies of the North Carolina
national guard. Occupying carriages
were the president and other no.
tables. Battle-scarred Confederate
veterans formed a guard of honor
for the president.
when the president arrived at
the court house he found the re-
viewing stand filled with several
thousand citizens. The entire area
was brilliant with flags, streamers
and other decorations.
