LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT C0LORAD0'S CAPITAL
Alleged Huerfano County Frauds.

In urging his resolution to appoint
committee to Investigate alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced a letter which, he said, was
from citizen of Huerfano, and a
man who has taken part in the coun-
ellis of the state. though refusing to
give his name.
The letter stated that election
frauds had prevailed in Huerfano and
Las Animas for eighteen years; that
while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
Grande or Colorado C Southern rail-
road companies. its annual assessment
was based on valuation OF $500 900.
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
valuation of 100000 and the Colo
RADIO G. Southern on valuation of
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue of the
coal mines was levied from the agri-
cultural and business interests. Hay
Is the largest agricultural crop and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is the largest consumer of the product
1t was stated-yet no farmer can find
a market, according to the letter, un-
less he pledges eternal fidelity to the
fuel company. And, further, the far
mer cannot get water for his irrigat-
ing purposes unless voting as told.
Mexicans. who cannot speak, read or
write the English language, 1t was
stated. were voted through an inter-
prefer. In Walsenburg. it was al
Ieged, the sheriff disposes of most OF
the criminal business by telling the
prisoner he can settle for so much
money, and, like Caesar of old. who
ruled fate by his thumb, he may con-
denim or acquit prisoner in the court
room by nod of his head.

bill restricting the employment of fe-

Jenkins Company Found Guilty

The case of the United States against
the. w. L. Jenkins Company, which has
been going on in the Federal Court be-
fore Judge Van Fleet for the past two
days, was finished yesterday afternoon.
The case was finally submitted to the
jury at three o'clock and at the end of
fifteen minutes the jury returned with
Il verdict of guilty"
In this case the company was charg-
ed with having maintained fence en-
closing some three hundred acres of
government land near one of it's ranches
in Elko County. The evidence in the
case showed that this fence, together
with natural barriers in the shape of
rocky bluffs formed perfect or nearly
perfect enclosure. The piece of ground
in question was shown to be good
meadow land upon which fair crop of
wild hay could be raised every year and
which had the natural resources of
artificial irrigation. The government
held that the action of the company in
fencing this land had prevented various
individuals from locating upon the
property and proving up q homestead.
r. T. Jenkins, agent and general
manager of the w. T. Jenkins Com
pany, was present during the trial of
the case and took the witness stand in
it's defense. Judge Murphy, of this
city, represented the defendant com
pany in the action and U. s. Attorney
Plat appeared for the government.

The Hartman Twins

Following is an interesting description
of the two large engine that passed
through here nearly month ago. 1t
is taken from the Rock Springs Miner:
Each of these engines are. just about
twice as large Us the average big
engine" that excites the admiration of
the beholder. Each. indeed, is two
engines with single boiler. There
are eight driving wheels on each side,
coupled in tours. The rear drivers are
driven by the high pressure cylinders.
These are not only the biggest and
most powerful engines ever built, but
they are probably the most handsome.
and in action are tremendously i'm
pressive.
The engines belong to the Mallet type
in their gear. though the architecture is
after the more familiar American plan.
They are what are called "articulated
engines, " their frames being joined mid
length, so that the two sets of driving
wheels can negotiate curves without
breaking rails. This necessitates flexible
steam pipes to carry the exhaust steam
from the high pressure cylinders for
ward. In emergencies live steam can
be admitted to all the cylinders.
The total weight of each locomotive
is 43O, 900 pounds of which 39O,OOO
pounds rest on the driving wheels.
The tender, which rests OH eight
wheels, weighs 10000 pounds, loaded,
SO the total weight of engine and tender
is approximately 300 tons The loco
motives burn oil fuel and work at 200
pounds pressure. A superheater is pro-
vided for drying the steam after pass
ing from the high pressure cylinders
and before entering the low pressure
cylinders, and the boiler is heated to
high temperature. Here are some figures
as to the size of the locomotives:
High pressure cylinder 26 inches in
diameter; low pressure, 40 inches; boiler,
81 inches in diameter, total heating
surface, 6,393 square feet; drive wheels,
81 inches; length over all, 90 feet; tank
capacity, 10000 gallons of water and
26, $50 gallons of oil. Traction force,
80, 600 pounds.

colossal skeleton in the museum Of

London Globe. This Is the remains of
a large specimen Of the blue whale
stranded on the coast Of that country.
This whale 10 probably the largest Of

head alone II twenty-one feet. The
weight Of the bones Is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
Its name Of blue whale from the dark

tinge Of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by

Of the Atlantic. 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib.

The chief food Of this gigantic ami.
