LIVESTOCK
STARVING
StOCkmen Ask Permission
to Move Animals to /
Better Ranges

DENVER, Jan. 6.-In resopnse to
telegram sent by the Post To Sem
ator Simon Guggenheim the thirty
thousand cattle starving on the plains
of eastern Colorado will be shipped
to districts where they can be fed.
Senator Guggenheim acted prompt
ly and communicated with DR.. Mel
win, chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry, and Melvin ordered immsdi-
ate relief for the animals.
The owners of the cattle, fearful Of
clash with the government, dared
not to ship the stock which were fac
ing starvation. The government in
spector had found twenty-five head
infected with mango and quarantined
thirty thousand. Until this quaran-
tine Is lifted the stock owners are
powerless. However, the speedy ac-
tion Of Senator Guggenheim probably
saved the lives of thousands of ami
mails.
The unusual snowfall has leopard
lied the lives of cattle, the range be-
ing covered so that feeding is i'm
possible. 1t is only stubble that rises
above the snow that is offered them
for food and from this sufficient sus-
tenance cannot be obtained.
One provision in "Dr." Melvin's or
der allowing the cattle to be moved,
is that they must be dipped just as
soon as practical. This will not be
done until warmer weather, because
the dipping process exposes the ami
mails to cold. South Of the district
where the cattle are starving there is
less snow and it will be possible for
them 70 Craze.

ing herds are lined up along the rail-

ut Is crime to let the poor things

a man who arrived in Pueblo today
from the east.
"The miserable beasts are 30 thin
that their bones are almost sticking
through their skins. They crowd each
other toward the fences In the desper-
ate hope of getting where there is
food, and, crazed with hunger, simply
pile up behind the barriers and tram
pie each other to death.
"They stampede at the slightest ex-
citement and hundreds of the weaker
beasts have been ground to death un-
der the sharp hoofs of the rest Of the
herds"
The grass has been covered by the
snow so long and feed Is 80 difficult
to get that a number of Pueblo stock
men, some Of whom 1t is stated own
large herds, went to Denver last night
to intercede with the government Of
ficials on the matter of the quarantine
law. At this season the laws pro-
hibit the movement of cattle from
certain districts to certain other dis
tricts.
The Pueblo stockmen will endeavor
to get the government officials to
lift the quarantine SO that the suffer-
ing cattle can be shipped into Kansas,
Oklahoma and western Colorado,
where the grazing lands are not COW
cred with snow.
The cattlemen were quite sanguine
Of success In the matter, as the emcr-
gency is such an unprecedented one

man who was once the center OF the
gay circle of New Workers was abso-
lutely friendless and pennyless. His
crime had been to hold up a detect
i've on Broadway, scene of his past
splendors and ask him for the price
of place to to sleep. In court it was
explained that he had just completed
sentence for vagrancy and it was
thought the best of charity to send
him back to the island again until the
weather got warmer. Belvin at nine
teen inherited more than $6OO,0UO
from his father, a noted Virginian.
He took up tobacco farming. A year
later he went to Seattle, where real
estate speculation soon almost dou-
blcd his fortune. Then he went into
Wall street under the active tutorage
of Henry Willard and soon his repu-
tation as punger was country
wide.
Belvin was finally elected president
of the San Francisco and Eastern
Railway and returned to New York,
where ne maintained a suit of platial
offices. Then the wheel turned. He
lost half a million in the Northern
Pacific crash. Then he opened an
office in London and lost more money
there. Everything he touched went
wrong, his friends deserted him and
at last his wife sued him for diverse,
naming prominent Ohio woman. One
day Bclvin, who was living at the Wal
dorf was arrested for not paying his

Charges Against Mrs. Grace.

"Mrs. Dalsv Grhce, OF Atlanta
Ga, drugged her husband and thet
shot him. Her action was the exc
cution OF diabolical plot to murder
Eugene H. Grace for his insurance
ID oney, which the woman planned
several DAYS before. He says she
drugeed him before she shot him and
all The evidence so far uncovered
proves it.
This was the statement Yesterday
afternoon Of Reuben Arnold leader o
the Atlanta bar. who has been retained
by the Grace family to prosecute Mrs
Daisy Grace, formerly Mrs. Daisy
Ulrich Opie, the rich Philadelphia
widow, on the charge OF shooting hcl
husband.
The woman's own statement is
enough to convict her before any sane
and reasonable jury" Mr.. Arnold
said, and since our Investigation OF
the case we find evidence which points
beyond shadow Of doubt to her
guilt. :,
"Wby, she even had stuffed the
Telephone trausmtter with cotton, So
he could not talk over it. She bad
stuffed the bell will. the same material
iu order that the phoue could not
ring and would not be heard by the
neightors.

''She bad made every arrangement
to prevent his BODY being found for
four or five DAYS and then she was
ready to declare that for almost an
entirs week she had been with bis
mother.
The motive ia perfectly clear. The
woman was in straiLeued circumstances.
We can prove that she was very bard
pressed for moucy.
She tried TO murder him to collect
the ST 900 on his insurance policies.
Why, the very TACT that even now she
IS cliuging TO those policies like grim
death is enough to show why she shot
him.
we have one crowning bit OF evil
dcnce which can leave no doubt IN
mind as to her guilt. This
will probably not be divulged until
jury trial, but it is something that
happened several days before the
crime was committed and proves tue
diabolical nature OF the womau's plot.
