Suddenly l found myself staring in
creduiously at the trap-door at my
feet. I had examined it early in the
evening and found it bolted. Did
imagine it, or had it raised about an
inch? Wasn't it moving slowly as
looked? No, am not a hero; l was
startled almost into panic. l had
one arm, and whoever was raising
that trap-door had two. My knees had
a queer inclination to bend the wrong
way.
Johnson's footsteps were distinct
enough, but he was evidently far be-
low. The trap, raised perhaps two
inches now, remained stationary.
There was no sound from beneath it;
once I thought I heard two or three
gasping respirations; I am not sure
they were not my own. I wanted des-
perately to stand on one leg at a time
and hold the other up out of focus OF

There was nothing there, and then it

meath. The next moment l was kneel'

Many Coal Entries Void.

Denver.-Under a decision of the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals, just rendered at st. Louis, suits
may be brought by the government
to regain thousands Of acres of coal
lands in Colorado and other states filed
upon fraudulently. The decision was
given in the case of the government
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
Company of Wyoming, which was an
appeal from decision of Federal
Judge Lewis. The ruling of the Court
of Appeals, which rererses the deci-
sion of Judge Lewis, is that lands may
be proved to be coal lands by expert
geological testimony, and that out
groupings of coal are not necessary to
prove the character of the lands. The
ruling heretofore has been that lands
were not considered to be coal lands
unless veins appeared through the sur
face.

for Denver. 1t is expected that the
show in January viii bring to Denver
over 10000 people from. outside of the
city. The railroads have made low
rates from all parts of the West. The
coming show will be in four complete
departments, the Stock Show, the Ma
tional Western Horse Show, the Ma
tional Western Poultry Show and the
Feed and Forage Show. In addition
to these plans are being made to pro-
vide concession space to merchants
and manufacturers who desire to make
an industrial display. Preparations
are already under way, and from the
way entries are coming in there is ev.
cry reason to believe that the exhibits
will be larger than in any previous
year. The West is commencing to get
into the game with pure bred cattle.
and at the coming show there will be
six herds Of Herefords and four herds
of Shorthorns from Colorado and
Wyoming alone.

regating a 43,OO0-acre tract of Carey

WHOLESALE FRUIT AND PROD

WITH COMBINE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-The federal grand jury is
probing the so-called feed trust. Evi-
dence has been presented to the grand
jury seeking to show that the fruit
and wholesale produce men of the city
have combination in restraint of
trade which arbitrarily fixes the prices
OF fruit and other commodities and
freezes out dealers not in the trust.
The fruit operations Of this organiza-
tion have been gone into particularly.
1t is said that the probe will be a
thorough one and the grand jury given
some enlightening information on why
living costs so high. The recent rise
in sugar will be one of the things ex-
amined into.
That there is an organization Of
produce men in the city who fix prices
to suit themselves and have the retail
dealers and public at their mercy has
been charged for long time.
1t is said that member of the trust
shares in its profits though he does
not handle one barrel of fruit. Such
arbitrary power this organization is
said to have that it can make the price
of oranges, bananas, apples or any 9TH
er fruit prohibitive and the retail deal
er and the public can do nothing more
than to sit still and throw up their
hands in dismay. They have the fruit
grower, too. at their mercy, it is al
legged, and he is up against the prop
ositon of throwing his fruit to the four
winds or feeding it to hogs, or sell
ing it to the trust at whatever price it
demands.
The government is making an effort
to indict the officers of this trust, and
the chief men in it. Indictments are
also being sought against the princi-
pals in whatever other trusts are COM
bining in restraint of trade and boost
ing prices of food.
Among the witnesses before the
grand jury were Matthew ]. Zeuseus,
a merchandise broker formerly with
the Lawrence-Hensley Fruit Company
as credit man; William C. Mcpherson,
manager Of the California Fruit Grow
srs' Exchange, and George H. Knit
ton, merchandise broker.
A special agent of the Department
OF Justice attached to United States
Attorney Thomas Wards office has
been conducting the investigation for
the government Sensations are prom
ised the public as a result Of the grand
jury's probe.
This is the governments first at
tempt here to dissolve trust by in
dieting the principal men in it.
The exact extent of the investiga-
tion is not known but it is said that
the prices of fruit and sugar are the
particular subjects of the probe.
