Horses Killed Near Montrose.

Horses on the Jesse Bell ranch
on Spring Creek mesa have been at
tackled with a strange disorder and
w. S. Craig, the Veterinarian, Is
unable to determine what the troub-
lie is. He sent a telegram to the
state veterinarian, DIR. Lamb of Den
yer last night and expects him in
Montrose in a day or two.
Already two valuable horses have
succumbed to the disease, three
more are down and another is in the
first stages. The malady is very baf-
fling and DR.. Craig is unable to
state whether it is spinal trouble
or due to poisoning.
If it is the former, then the dis
ease will probably spread, DIR. Craig
states, and many of the horses In
the vicinity die before the disease
can be checked.
The symptoms are: The horses
have a slight fever of about 1O3 II
to 104 degrees. In short time they
fall to the ground and their muscles
become SO rigid that they are un-
able to move. After running four or
five days in this condition their tenn
perature becomes slightly abnormal.
falling to about SO degrees. This
is the last stage of the disease and
the animal soon dies. Dr. Craig says
that no medicine has the slightest
effect upon them, and he has as yet
been unable to do anything for
them.-Montrose Press.

news. Plans were hastily formed for

cally defenseless. Couriers have been

A Big Majority.

BROCTON, Mass, March 23.-The
political weathercock turned demo-
crat-ward in the state of Massachusetts
when the old colony section, one of the
republican strongnolds of the state,
placed Eugene N. Foss, of Boston.
one of the country's leading exponents
of reciprocity with Canada, in the con-
gressional seat of the late William
G. Lowering.
Mr.. Foss accomplished what is re-
garded as almost a political miracle.
turning a republican plurality of 14,250
into a democratic plurality of 5,S4O.
The vote cast was: Eugene n.
Foss of Boston, democrat, 14,9S0; Will
liam r. Buchanan, of Brockton, re-
publican, 9,340.
1t was the most overwhelming defeat
the republicans have met in Massa-
chusetts since Governor Bates was
overthrown by William L. Douglass
six years ago.
The result is considered of more
than statewide Importance, for Mr..
Foss stumped the Fourteenth district
on national questions and the people
backed him up with a whoop.

mittee FOR the loss of more than $4,000,

and there is some speculation as to
what will be the outcome of improve

pany it will be unnecessary to deter
mine the justice of many conflicting
claims, as one company will own all
the properties. Besides, with single
company working all the claims, there
will be economies in operation which
cannot be obtained in present condi-
tions Explaining the reason for max
ing the Anaconda company the chief
one in the merger, she directors said:
"The Anaconda company, because of
It's size and the fact that its property
is so situated that some of it is con-
tiguous to property owned by all the
other companies, is regarded by all ia
miliar with the situation as the logical
company to become the purchaser of
the properties of the other companies.
The Butte Coalition company has
capital of s15,O00,00O, the par value
of the shares being SIS each. 1t has
been producing 20,000,0OO9 pounds OF
copper a year. Cole is president of it
and Ryan is vice-president. The
North Butte company has a capital Of

CHARGES OF GROSS INCOMPETENCE ARE
MADE BY coUNcILM EN-, WHO SAY THE
WORK WAS DELAY ED IN MANY CASES
Engineer is Directly Respo nsible for Loss of Nearly
$4,000 and More is in Si ght-Lenthy Reply to the
Charges Made by Surveyor.

Apparently nothing was overlooked
bv members Of the street committee
when they prepared their statement
replying TO insinuations contained in
recent attacks upo nthe council by
City Surveyor l.. w. Loehr. Charging
gross incompetency in one instance,
and setting forth facts that would tend
TO prove the assertion, as we'll as re-
latino many occurrences that have had
a tendency to delay and interfere with
street improvements, the document
which was read at the meeting OF the
council last night, was most compre-
hensive article. The members OF
the street committee stand ready to
make good their charges, although
they say they probably never would
have been made public but for the
campaign of criticism, fault-finding
and intrigue carried on during the past
two weeks by the engineering depart
ment through the columns of a local
publication.
That the surveyor has been directly
responsible for a loss to the city or
more than $4,000 is one of the specific
charges of the street committee, the
errors that proved so expensive being
enumerated as follows: North Second
street, $4,000; Second street bridge,
5000: East Rose street, $500; South
Park street, $500; Park and East Alder
streets, loss unknown. although orders
have been given to repair, at the ex-
pense of the city, an error in grade on
Park street between Alder and Birch.

ENGINEER SAYS
HE CAN EXPLAIN

street committee, Mr.. LOehr went over
the document hurriedly and express
ed his willingness to explain every
charge and insinuation contained in
the report.
In reply to a number of the points
raised by the committee, Mr.. Loehr
made statements, the following being
the text of his remarks:
"In reading this over I find many
charges, yes, you might term them
charges, that have been laid at my
door by the street committee which
it would be impossible for me to COM
ment on until l have taken the same
amount of time to prepare my an
sWer as the street committee took to
form their document. However. few
points I will deal on just offhand.
CAS- to my endorsing the Umatilla
gravel Il will say 1 did say it was good,
yes, as good as crushed rock, but only
when properly assembled; that is, the
proper proportions of cement and sand
used. Since, however. 1 have inves-
tigated thoroughly and I contend that
gravel used in any way is not as good
as rock properly crushed.
TT says here that the first council
knew OF my stand on the gravel ques-
ton. which they read in a local paper
on March IT,"
Here a smile passed over the city
engineers face as he said:
"Weu, 1 guess 1 don't want to say
a thing about that just now"
81 never refused to test gravel That
statement is nothing but lie. One day
I asked the chairman of the street
committee how that sand and gravel
was running and if it had been screen
ed He, i'm turn said: Yes, myself
and the contractor have screened some
and we find it is o. K We are making
some nightly fine curbing down there
(West Main street)'
"At that time / was working on the
macadam and my assistant engineer
was looking after the work down there.

boxes were entirely too large and j

pier to bring the various interests to-
gether. In the larger merger will be
included all the Amalgamated proper
ties, the Cole Ryan properties, the
Guggenheim properties ,and possibly
others.
The North Butte and the Butte Co
alition are distinctly Cole-Ryan prop
critics, owned by Thomas F. Cole and
John D. Ryan. The same interests
have large sway in the affairs of the
Amalgamated Copper company BY
the absorption of the Butte Coalition
and North Butte companies into the
Anaconda, the relation of those COM
panies with the Amalgamated VIII be
much closer.
In at statement issued by the direc-
proposed combination is said to be the
geological formation of the country in
which the Anaconda and the other
mines are situated 1t is pointed out
that difficult and complicated legal
questions have arisen as a result OF
the law of apex which prevails in
Montana. 1t is explained that law was
chiefly responsible for the protracted
and costly Heinze- ze-Amalgamated Iiti-
cation which ended in the purchase of
the Heinze properties by Ryan and his
associates. Those properties now are
owned by the Butte Coalition company
1t also is pointed out that all the
companies to be affected by the Ana
conda merger have properties which
are on the Butte hill and are contig-
