Pinchot Sat On.

Denver. June 23.-By II sweeping
decision of the commissioner of the
general land office, so important in
its effects upon the mining indurtry
of the west that it was approved by
thu secretary of the interior before it
was promulgated, without waiting
for the usual course of appeal, the
conduct of the PincbUt forestry bu-
reau has been COMPATIBILITY rebuk-
ed that the decision will doubtless
result in further strainiDg the rela-
tions between the Pinchot forestry
bureau and other federal depart
ments, and the mining men of the
west have won the most important
of their many victories in their long
contest with the forestry service.
In contravention of the practice es-
tablished yeaas ago, Pinchot and his
subordinates have required every
prospector who sought patent 10 u
claim within II forest reserve, to show
that he had discovered mineral thro'-
out his entire interests.
The decision will practically de-
prive the forestry service of nll iuris-
diction over mineral lands and free
the prospector from the interference
to which they have been constantly
subjected by the forestry department
officials.

AS intimated in last weeks HER

Meeker from the SCENE of tragedy,
indicated his death. This proved in-
correct, an deceased fingered In MI
unconscious state for about forty
hours after the shooting, the spark
Of life flicksring ,ut after the dying
man WAS brought to Meeker by Sher-

DIR. Hutton accompanied Sheriff
Ellison to Marvine. but on arriving
there 1t WAS plain to be seen that
nothing could be done for Gordon,
who had sat down at the base Of a
tree short distance above the Mar
vine lodge building and fired n bullet
into his brain.
He was discovered shortly after
the shooting. That he did not die
instantly Is the wonder of all who saw
the wound with the brains ozing out.
That deceased was mentally unbal-

been dividing the lower country for
some time came to a head last week
In the district court. There were five
of them, brought by different mem-
bers of the COLON family, claiming
damages for various ISLANDERS, for
statements made by lies and Uehline.
Only one went to trial. While we
are able to give some account of the
evidence, though the trial was be-
hind closed doors, the facts were
such as would not be well received in
paper going INTO your family, yet
from persons who we're Oh the jury
we are able to state Il little.
Collom claimed $3O,OOOi in tn" case
tried for three different ISLANDERS. In
two of them he succeeded in having
the case dismissed on his own testi-
mony. The other was IL very close
question as to dismissal but was
finally sent to the jury. The evil
dence for Hes showed that he had
taken the matter up as citizen for
no other purpose than to better the
community. no this end he had
spoken to people of the reports in the
country, and that he was backed in
this by the community WAS well
shown by the number and character
of his witnesses.
notwithstanding the terrible ma
ture of the case the jury. after being
out from saturday evening to Mon
day a. IN. returned IA verdict for only
one dollar damages. But before the
verdict was rendered the Colloms
began to hunt for some place to get
off. This they found at last by pay
ing their own costs regardless of the
verdict for one dollar in their favor.
That the suit has done some good
seems to be the general feeling. No
one thinks for moment that Tom
Hes acted for any purpose but to help
to clear up the scandel in the com
munity by bringing the matter to u
definite understanding in his neigh
borhood. In fact it is generally
known that Mr. lies is II clean man
and always very active in anything
to keep the community in which he
resides clear of scandal. He never
made any definite statement Of con-
ditions, but only investigated the re-
ports In circulation.
Now the whole thing is cleared up
and off the court records, and even
the papers in court are hidden from
the public. Even those connected
with the celebrated suit deny any
knowledge of anything.
This spirit is certainly to bc CON-
mended.

There were five cases and the aggre-
g4t. damages claimed amounted tn a
large figure.
