Packers Cleared

Nine years after the government
began its investigation of the alleged
beef trust number of prominent
packers were brought to trial. Tues
day, year later, the trial ended In a
verdict on the part of the jury of
Not guilty" The jurors said that
the great mass OF figures and exhibits
completely mystitied them and that
they relied for their finding on the
evidence and pleadings. 1t is not
probable that any further action will
be taken by the government.
Thus after ten years OF leisureIy
and expensive litigation it has again
been demonstrated that IL your purse

night that the property damage would
reach at least S2,000,o00. and it is
probable that the damage Will reach an
even great sum. "Anything like an
accurate estimate. Of the damage will
be out of the question for several
days. said Mayor Arnold tonight.
"Thus far we have learned of only two
deaths from drowning. but there may
be several more. -
An infant boy was drowned when
her waist in water. dropped the babe
and the little body was swept down
the stream,
The second known death was that of
S-year-old Christopher Jensen. The boy
was standing on the bank watching the
rushing water. when the bank caved in
and he was carried to his death.
The storm was general, and at Long
mont, south of Denver, and Cripple
Creek and Victor, northwest of here,
the rain fell heavily, blocking traffic.
Word of the Cherry creek flood was
conveyed TO the city hall by telephone
shortly before the crest reached Den
yer, and not moment was lost in
warning by every available means all
those within reach,
The fact that the message was re-
ceived early was the means Of saving
perhaps hundreds of lives.

Not single train has left Denver

Trains from the south tonight were

WASHINGTON, July l4.-William
Lorimer, whose seat as senator from
Illinois was yesterday declared vacant
by the United States senate, is not
through fighting.
His campaign TO rehabilitate himself
will be fought along the following
lines:
He Will go back to Chicago and con-
tinue his banking business and at the
same time cndeavor to strengthen his
political machinery.
Two years from now he will make
a fight to come back to congress from
the Sixth district, which he represent
cd for fourteen years In the house of
representatives.
Ultimately-if the passage OF years
has lessened his disgrace and he has
been able to build up his machine-he
will try to come back to the United
States senate.
Lots Of Jorimer' s friends in the
Sixth district remember him when he
was a uewsboy and shoe clerk and
later when he was a car conductor lie
did not lose these friends yesterday
when he was east out with the brand
of corruption on his forehead.
1t is accepted here that Lorimer Will
still be political factor in his neigh
borhood and that he will probably be
returned TO congress, No one has been
found, however, who is willing to ven
tnre an opinion that he will ever be
sent back to the senate

Had Decided on Suicide.
There is ample evidence to support
the belief that Mahan had made up his
mind to commit suicide. This thought
was evidently in his mind when, Sat
urday afternoon, he informed Fred
Dart of Spanish Fork. by whom he had
been employed, that he ''was going TO

 The passengers gave q thrilling ae- count of the wreck of the Salazie, which was proceeding from Diego Suarez for Mauritius. The vessel was swept by ter rife seas and the passengers were in a state of panic. A group of English pas sengers gathered in the saloon and sang Nearer My God to Thee
 Six of the eight life boats were washed away and the second officer perished while trying to rig a floating anchor.
 When the storm subsided the passeng- CTS were landed on a desert island in the remaining two boats. Camps were erected and one of the boats proceeded to Madagascar, bringing back aid The passengers were taken off.
 The Captain and officers remained at the scene of the wreck but 1t was be- lieved the Salazie would prove total loss.
