DENVER, Dec 15.-A battle be-
tween the state militia and one hun
dred armed policemen, plain clothes
men, detectives and "gun-toters" was
narrowly averted at l o'clock this
house as a result of the forcible ejec-
ton from his Office of County Assess
or Henry ]. Arnold, on order from
Mayor Speer. Governor Shafroth, who
had been appealed to for assistance
by Assessor Arnold, had ordered Gen.
Chase to mobolize the Denver COM
panies of the state militia. ready to
march to the court house under arms.
Before these instructions could be car.
died out the city hall and headed by
the police with crowbars and ram
ming appliances had battered the
doors Of the assessors Office and had
thrown Arnold and several of his dep
uties into the street.
State Senator Hits, who also occu-
pies the Office Of election commission.
er and henchman of Mayor Speer and
acknowledged representative of the
Denver "skyscraper trust" then took
possession of the assessors office
Hits was appointed assessor by the
board of supervisors at an adjourned
session late last night

District Judge Riddle, another mem
ber of the Speer faction. was waiting
in his chamber to swear in Hits. Hilts
and dozen "gun-toters" then proceed'
ed to the court house where they en-
countered Arnold, who had been ad
vised of the move against him. Ar
mold refused to surrender his office
ernor had ordered out the troops he
summoned big detachment of police
and assaulted the office.
Assessor Arnold today will begin le
gal action to recover his Office. Both
Arnold and Speer are Democrats, and
the former was famed for the office o1
county assessor by the Denver city
hall machine, which Mayor Speer con
trolls. After being elected Arnold re
chine. When the supreme court of Col
orado recently decided that the consol
idation of two years ago, combining
the city and county government o1
Denver was legal, Arnold refused te
give up his Office and took the case
to the courts, alleging his Office was
exempt from the consolidation order
until his term expired.
The enmity toward Arnold by the
city hall machine reached it's most bit
ter point yesterday when the assess
or bluntly announced that unless hi
was ordered to do so by the court ht
would not extend the tax assessment
from 1912 from fifteen to more thar
nineteen mills, on the ground that The
city charter expressly forbade such al
extension.

Several Local Men Say Fail
ure to Heed This Demand
Will Affect the Business of
This City.
CITY HITCHING LOT
is PLAN OF MAYOR
Racks on Streets Make Thor
oughfares So Congested
that They Are Dangerous,
Zimmerman Says.

The increase in the number of farm
ers who drive into Richmond has caus-
ed a demand for better hitching facili-
ties. Farmers are complaining of the
small number of hitching racks near
the center of the city. They declare
that instead OF more hitching racks
being erected some are being taken
down. They mention especially the
rack which stood at Ninth and Main
streets.
According to a number Of prominent
farmers who trade in Richmond exclu-
sively, the city should remedy exist
1ng conditions without delay. They
cay that failure to do SO will probably
effect the business of the city.
Most farmers are in favor Of Mayor
Zimmerman's plan, outlined some time
ago at a council meeting. The mayor
believes that all hitching racks should
be taken down from the principal
Main street corners, and that there
should either be a public hitching lot,
maintained by the city, or that the
hitching racks should be placed
around square.
In arguing for the adoption Of his
plan the mayor said that some time
ago q man was killed because of the
congested condition of q certain street
due to the hitching rack.
Agree With the Mayor.
Farmers says that the mayor is right
in his contention. and that the racks
should be removed. but that before this
is done a public hitching place should
be secured by the city. 1t has been
suggested by some city officials that
the vacant lot at Eleventh and Main
streets would be good location for a
public hitching lot.
This matter was agitated in council
q few months ago, but was dropped
At one time a committee was appoint
ed to confer with the county officials
in regard to placing the hitch racks
around the court house. Obstacles
were thrown in the way of tho coun-
cilmanic committee as soon as the
matter was broached. Judge Fox de-
clared that nothing like this could be
done as long as he was on the Wayne
circuit court bench.
In speaking on this subject this
morning, a prominent local man, pro-
prietor Of a horse shoeing forge said,
the farmers were far from satisfied
with the present facilities for hitch
ing.
There has to be some place for
farmers to hitch" he said. Farmers
with whom have talked say that they
would be better satisfied II the city
would purchase lot near the center
of the city and place hitching racks
upon 1t.
"As it is now we have not enough
racks and should have more. but it
IL too dangerous to place more public
racks on the streets"
"Some farmers have hinted that IL
Richmond does not care enough for
their trade to provide hitching racks
they will so to other towns to do their
trading" another man declared.
