COMES OUT
|. WITHOUT TROUBLE

Chicago, March 30.-Postoffice In
spector Hadsel, who has been investi-
eating the Rock Island paper which
printed an attack on Mayor Schriver
of that city and prec1ptated the re-
cent riots, returned today and made
his report to General Stuff, chief
postoffice inspector.
Postoffice Inspector Dana Angler
was then detained to Rock Island. He
leaves tonight and confers with Unit
ed States District Attorney North
colt of Springfield.
Due to some twist in his schedule,
Postal Inspector H. Hadsel failed to ar
rive last evening to take charge of the
federal action TO be directed against
John Looney, publisher of the News,
carrying on the action of the Chicago
federal authorities, as announced in
last nights Associated Press dispatch
es. Inspector Hadsel was in st. Louis
yesterday and was to have arrived last
evening. His home is in Davenport,
and his wife stated this morning that
the inspector probably found it neces-
sary to return to Chicago, and that he
will be here today. Postmaster Nc.
Donald waited until a late hour last
night for the inspector, expecting that
an immediate conference would be
held.
1t was learned today that the inspec
tor had slipped quietly in and made 6
hurried investigation and taken an ear
| ly train bound to Chicago.
The Looney sheet appeared this
morning without any interruption OF
the part of the city, county, or military
authorities. 1t was ascertained in ad
vance that there was nothing of al
| incendiary nature in the sheet, anC
that it failed in its promise for furthe
sensational charges against Mayo
Schriver, promised in last weeks is
sue.
1t is Enthusiastically vicious in ma
ture, however, and Harry NJ. McCask
rim is held up as the hero while mucl
space is devoted to the fact that JohI
Looney still lives.
1t claims to have permission from
Sheriff Bruner and Genera! Kittilsel
to publish, but both those officials de
clare the permission was conditional.
Following the publication of tn
Looney sheet, Harry NJ. McCaskrin GO
lout a handbill violently attackin
Sheriff Bruner and Mayor Schriver an
the newspapers, and misrepresentin
] the justification for the summoning G
J the militia to Rock Island. The dodf
er is supposed to be designed for pC
litical effect.
J Four of the Chicago newspaper me
: who are in the city covering the rio
today stated that Harry NJ. McCaskri
had in the course of an interview il
formed them that the story pubIishe
by the Looney sheet scandalizing MAJ
or Schriver was simply a frame-up t
draw public attention to the paper an

conclusive of one thing, how
ever-that the mob spirit had
been injected into the crowd

growth Of their own feelings.

ance in the testimony which was
given but the preponderance
was about four to one. Some

A New Empire.

A new empire OF green acres
one that promises to rival in pro-
ductivity Of its fields the irrigated
districts of the northern, south
ern and western parts of the
state-has sprung into being al
most in a single. year, in Eastern
Colorado, a land even now termed
by the uninitiated, the desert
country.
The growing empire extends
for almost one hundred miles on
both sides of the Union Pacific
tracks through Lincoln and Chey-
enne counties to the Kansas line.
"A few years ago almost all of
it was barren waste, sporting as
its only vegetable adornment
buffalo grass. greasewood and
the hardy sage. This summer
and fall thousands of these erst-
while bare acres will send to
market a full quota of wheat,
corn and other cereals, with the
four-footed crops" that have
fattened on the products pecul-
iarly suited to the country's soil
and climate.
The metamorphosis or the coun.
try, that is only in its general
prosperity. has been brought
about largely by a few men who
were firm believers that Eastern
Colorado soil, if farmed along
proper lines, would yield first
the green and then the golden
harvest. Denver Times.

Quarantine.

Whereas, under the provisions
of the law of this state, the State
Board of Stock Inspection Com
missioners has this day reported
to me that certain contagious
and infectious diseases exist in
the State of Kansas among horses
and mules, and that there are
conditions which render horses
and mules from such state liable
to convey such diseases.
1t is therefore ordered that the inn
portation into Colorado or the move
ment within this state Of all horses
and mules from said State of Kansas
shall be prohibited, unless accom-
panied by certificate Of health given
by the State Board of Stock Inspection
Commissioners or their duly author
ized agent, or by the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry, who shall
examine and inspect all such horses
and mules previous to the giving of
such certificate, under the rules and
regulations authorized by law. And
1 do hereby warn all corporations,
persons and companies and their
agents and employees proposing to
bring such animals into the State of
Colorado, or to move the same within
the state from such infected territory,
to give full and due compliance to the
provisions of the law in this respect,
and to this proclamation.
In witness whereof have hereunto

Farm Animals Stricken.

Farm Animals Stricken.
That mysterious ailment which
has made its appearance in West
ern Kansas, and which has caused
the death of thousands of horses
and other farm animals, is
becoming daily more serious. AS
vet scientists have been baftied
as to the cause and exact nature
of the disease, but there is hope
for the farmers in the widespread
interest which has been aroused.
So suddenly did the malady ap-
pear and SO fatal has it proved
among farm animals that far
mers are half dazed by the visi-
tation. If it is not checked there
is no knowing how far it's
devastating influence will go.
This disease, whatever it may
be, has made its appearance in
Eastern Coloaado and several
horses have been stricken south
east of here, though few fatalities
are reported.

The County Fair.


The exhibits were first class
and did great credit to farming
industry of Cheyenne county.
The poultry and live stock show
was up to the standard and a
better exhibit in these classes
is hard to find at any county fair.
The fine band, was the best
feature of the fair. The people
were entertained with a number
of thesbest selections, and it was
the one feature that held the
crowd and contributed more to
the success of the fair than any
other feature of it, if not all of
them. The games of base ball
were a feature of entertainment
especially the game between the
democrat and republican candi-
dates before the people at the
primary, this game was greatly
enjoyed by everyone. The horse
races drew a large crowd, and
the riding contests featured the
program snd entertained the
people. The foot races in which
E. C. Wilson won the blue ribbon
was one of the best stunts on the
program -and was the means of
throwing considerable spice into
other features of entertainment.
One of the most important
items of the fair was the manner
IN which the crowds were taken
care of by the hotels and restaur-
ants. Abundar ce of everything
was made ready to feed the peo-
pie and everybody received the
most courteous treatment, and
no one was held up On prices or
asked to ps y more tEaa the regl-
lar everyday prices of a meal or
bed. A light rain refre she'd the
atmosphere on Wednesday which
added greatly to the comfort of
the crowds in attendance.

Democrats Beat Republicans.

Democrats Beat Republicans.
One Of the features of our.
recent county fair was the ball
game between the democratic
and republican candidates, and
while it lasted only 5 innings
there was enough base ball
damned into it tolast the average
fan for q week. 1t. would take
two months to enumerate the
different brilliant plays and mis-
plays made during the game.
The man detailed to keep talley
of the hits made during the game
went nutty and completely lost
count. Those well versed in
mathematics say that it would be
safe to place the number at 9999.
AS was to be expected the demo-
Gratis won. w. S. Hill essayed to
do the heaving act for the demo-
Gratis, and Ed Hanson committed
the receiving stunt. Hill happened
to be in rare form and evidently
had the republicans buffaloed
from the start. His snake curve
was working fine and the high
fast throw toward the grand
stand fooled a good many. Han
son evidently got his signs mixed
at times as Hill tried to throw
the ball out of the county on
several occasions. Redmon did
some fierce swatting, likewise
VIM. Stephenson. Neither one
of these players hit the ball as
they could owing to the fact that
the republican outfield was over
worked and had their fingers
crossed. Mayfield did some awful
slugging-by-proxy having no less
than six home runs besides num-
erous triples and doubles to his
credit.
Frances Cullen did the receiv-
ing for the republicans and the
different players pitched one
inning each, lowing to the ter
rife bombardment of the horse
hide by the democrats no twirler
lasted more than one inning.)
There were numerous brilliant
stunts pulled off by the republic
can team. Shy hit the horsehide
for thirteen bases on two differ
ent occasions. Chas. Dagger made
a beautiful catch Of a line drive
in left field but being barehanded
dropped it to allow his hands to
cool off, and the good work went
for naught.
1t is said on good authority
that the score was about IS to
q 1-2 in favor Of the democrats.
Owing to some misconstruction
of the Queensbury rules by Um-
pire Goodier, the game has been
protested and may be thrown out
on a technicality.
