Burns Avoids Explanation.

Burns was repeatedly request = ed during several months nccu- pied with the investigation to make a statement. He al first prom iSrd tO do SD. but never did. He may have been too busy with jury packing and subnrnaiinn of perjury elsewhere.
 Numerous anidavits and other evidence raised a conclusive pre- sumption that intimidation was employed. Irregularities had been practiccd in public land cases for many years. rountcnan- ccd by federal officials, in some instanr"S for corrupt rraSods. whil others were mere lax ad- miniStratiOn of the law for con- v"nirncc where parties were on the who'll" acting in good failh. Many of these persons were in tinlida!cd into giving false les iInl"ny lo protect themselves from prosecution. The attorney general concludes this was true in the Jones case.
 The shySicr mrlhud., of Burns and lIeDcy are shown by the fact that they had a stoOl-pigeon named Sorcnsnn, indicted with Jones and used him as a spy. He received pay as a federal az cnt under the name uf George Edwards.
 The full report of the attorney general is published in the Seat llc Times of Sunday, November 3.

AULT WOMAN TAKES CARBOLIC
ACID TO END LIFE SHE FOUND
UNBEARABlE-lEAVES LETTERS
Mrs. Harry Meyers, Common Law Wife of Farm
Hand, is Found Dead = Shack---Man Claim.
That Woman Joined Him While Tramping
And That He Had Treated Her Well

Ault, Aug. 2S.-Rather than live q
life with her supposed husband which
she claimed was full of abuse, Mrs.
Harry Meyers, 25 years old, part In
dian. committed suicide last night at
7:3O by drinking the contents of q one
ounce bottle of carbolic acid. She
was found fully dressed on the bed
shortly afterwards by neighbor,
Thomas Elliott. Deputy Coroner Al
mutt was notified and came to Ault
last night to make an investigation.
Letters were found on the table by
the bed which gave cause for the
suicide.
Meyers was working on farm At
the time of the suicide and did not
learn of it until sometin., later.
Thomas Elliott was passing by the
Meyers house, a shack across the
railroad tracks, and suspected that
something was wrong. He pushed
open the door and saw the body Of the
young woman on the bed. A doctor
was notified but life was extinct.
Deputy Coroner Alnutt was summoned
and in the investigation which follow.
ed the motive for the suicide was dis
covered. A one ounce bottle Of car
bolic acid was found by the bedside,
but as the label was torn of it could
not be learned where Mrs. Meyers
secured the poison. She had poured
the liquid into a small tin cup and
swallowed the entire amount Her
lips and cheeks were badly scared by
the acid.
Two sealed letters were found on
the table, addressed to Meyers and to
the girls father, Moses Dupuis, living
on the Colville Indian agency al Re
public, Wash.
The letters to Meyers read:

GREELEY
ROCKIES
ARE SHY
Recruiting Office After
a Month Turns Down
Many Applicants--Bad
Eyes Leading Cause

Frank F. Beckman, % years old, OF
Greeley; Harry NJ. Paulsen, "a, Of
Denver, and James A. Allmon, 81, OF
Brawley, Mo-, are three of the latest
recruits accepted by Recruiting Off
Ger William ]. Mccain. who is looking
after the United States Army's inter-
ests in Greeley. These three young
men were Saturday sent to Fort Lo-
gan. They will remain there for q
short time, after which they will be
transferred, Beckman and Paulsen to
the coast artillery, and Allmon to the
infantry.
During the month that the recruit
ing officer has been stationed in Gree
ley there have been many applications
made by young men who wished to
join the army Only six of these, how
ever, have proved acceptable. while
eighteen were rejected for various
causes. Some of these were too young
and could not obtain the consent of
their parents; but the requirement
wherein most of them failed is in the
matter of eyesight. Officer McCann
says that during his stay here more
young men have been rejected on this
fault than by reason of all other short
comings combined. Asked if he be-
lieved it to be an ailment character
istic of this vicinity, he said that he
did not think so, and gave, as his
opinion, that the cause lay in too
frequent attendance at motion picture
show officer McCann said the belief
that this causes eye-strain first came to
him through notice of his own ina
bility to shoot accurately in target
practice after having attended NOV
ing picture show on the preceding
evening, as he very often did until he
conceived the idea that it was injuri-
Gus. Be this true or not. most of us
will continue to attend the shows, at
least semi-regularly: for the motion
pictures are both instructive and en-

cause of the sand dunes which must

COUNTY IS
OWING FOR
ITS GRAVES
Caretaker at City Gene
terry Says the Pauper
Graves Haven't Been
Paid for in Years

Will the county have to contribute
something like $500 toward the i'm
provement Of Linn Grove cemetery?
Maybe so.
ANY yhow, V. Phenix, caretaker. told
the city council Tuesday that for the
past five years the county had paid not
a cent in the caring for pauper graves
and other matters that should have
been charged and that if the city had a
mind, it may collect several hundred
dollars, every cent Of which can be used
in making better the burying ground.
The council is looking in'o o the matter.
The oiling ordinance and the Eighth
street sidewalk ordinance were passed
on final rsadin9. If all goes we'll the
oiling will be commenced the last of
this week. The streets have not been
sprinklsd for several days to insure
their being dry to receive the oil most
effectively.
Alderman Bullock was authorized to
have built a cement horse watering
trough in Island Grove park. not to ex-
coed IA feet in length.
Several bids for oil for the stree ts
were received and some Of them made
extravagant claims. All of the oils
will be investigated.

time, was making tour of the United
States. in the course Of which he was
also requested to lecture to the stu
dents of that institution Yourg Wolfe
attended the lecture and was so i'm
pressed with the Generals talk on the
needs and problems of the world and
the solution he had to offer. that the
need became Wolfe's call and he then
and there abandoned his classical course
and Immediately offered himself as a
Salvation Army worker. His leaders
were not slow in recognizing his
earnestness and excellent qualities as
an evangelist and soon pushed him out
into the work for which he was best
adapted. Since then Staff Captain
Wolfe has commanded some Of the
largest Army corps in the southwest
and on the Pacific coast and for the last
few years his time has been entirely
given up to the work in which he is
now engaged. In his capacity as Army
evangelist he has travelled extensively
in the United States, Canada and Eng
land, and everywhere remarkable sue
cess has attended his labors, and the
largest churches, Salvation Army bar
racks and public buildings have been
filled to everflowing with audiences
that have been eager to listen to his
message.
Captains Marpurg and Haas and the
local Salvationists are also preparing
to pay fitting tribute to the memory Of
their noble leader and founder Of the
organization, the late General Booth;
and on Sunday, September 1st. Staff
Captain Wolfe is expected to conduct
