and expensive nuisance these animals
have been.
Recently the complaints from stock
men concerning the depredations of
wolves in the country north of Eagle
prompted two of the forest rangers to
undertake the determination of few
of the critters,'' and after supplying
themselves with snowshoes and a
quantity of ammunition they located
their camp near the head of Catamount
creek. on the north side of Castle
mountain and about 10 miles north of
Eagle.
These two men, Kenson j. Helmok k
and John b. Green by name, were
made painfully aware the first night
that they were in a wolf infested coun-
try, and the next morning they started
ont on their snowshoes to track ttC
five of the hungry beasts at one time
and, eXhausting their supply of ammn-
milton, were compelled to return to
camp for more They returned to Il
point near the scene of the first mas
sacre and soon brought down three more
big grey fellows, making eight in al.
As they had no more ammunition
they returned to Eagle and made requ:-
sition on supervisor French for more
lead and will probably return
to the wolf infested district and try
their luck again.
In addition to doing the stockmen a
great service these young men have
not done so badly so far as their inLi
vidual interests are concerned since 1t
is understood that the combined bOnn-
each wolf. The cattlement do not be-
grudge the boys the money since they
realize that it requires considerable
skill and means no little hardship to
score a success along this line and
they are more than glad to pay the
money in the way of bounty, and the
WISDOM or thelr oier YAH pe i'"uii'
understood when it is known that IN
that country during the past year 80
or 40 head of cattle have been killed
outright by these beasts or hamstrung
and left to die horrible death, to say
nothing of the stock that must have
been killed. of which the stockmen
have no direct knowledge, except that
they know that each fall number OF
animals are missing and unaccounted
for and the presumption is that a
number of them have gone the hungry
wolf route.

DE BEQUE GIRL
CAPTURES PEEPING TOM

Grand Junction, May 23.-Miss Pearl
Hoppel, of DeBeque, is the heroine Of
that little city today since her capture
last night of Frank E. Lynch hobo,
whom she found peeping in at her
bedroom window.
Last night about 10 clock Miss
Hoppel came home from rehearsal for
an amateur theatrical performance,
and went to her bedroom. Before she
began to disrobc she caught a glimpse
of someone's face peeping under the
shade of her window Cody she
stepped into the next room. grasped her
fathers revolver and stepped out the
back door. Going around the house
she came on the fellow while he was
still on his knees under the window
Hands up!' was the crisp com
mand, and the frightened tramp started
to his feet With the revolver cover
ing him she repeated the command and
slowly he raised his palms above his
head. Keeping him several feet in front
of her with his arms still elevated, the
plucky girl marched him down the
street to the residence of Marshal Joe
Mason. Mason was about to retire.
but responded to the call to find a
badly scared Peeping Tom in the Gus
tody of his fair captor.
Lynch, which was the name given by
the man, was locked up over night. and
this morning Miss Hoppel appeared
against him before Police Magistrate
William Myser. He plead guilty and
was sentenced to 80 days in the county
Jail. Marshal Mason escorted him TO
this city today noon and he is now re-
siding within the Hotel de Schrader.
Miss Hoppel, who is about is years
of age, is receiving the congratula-
tions of the entire village today over
her daring exploit.
The ladies of the town have been
complaining for some time that
Peeping Tom had been disturbing them
for month past, and it is believed
that Lynch has been guilty of all these
outrages.

JUDGE BLAMES SOCIETY
FOR MURDER

Denver, May 17.-Judge Shattuek
this afternoon sentenced Oscar Cook
to die the week of Nov. 10. In sen
tencing him the judge said that he
boped the result of the trial would be
different because, said he, "as l sat

Tears were in the eyes of both the
prisoner and the judge as the latter
pronounced the sentence. After he had
finished he handed Cook copy of the

that state institutions are not consid
cred of sufficient Importance to be bur
dcned with financial appropriations.
In replying to letter recently al.
dressed to them by Governor Shafroth,
the judges of the supreme court today
enacted by the last legislature creating
the tax commission is legal and that it
transferred to the state tax commission
all of the statutory power recently
exercised by the state board of equal
ization. They also advised the COVER
nor that the state tax commission must
fix the assessment of the corporations
of the state and that the only power
now enjoyed by the state board cf
equalization are the powers given that
board under the constitution. Incl
dentally the court raises the question
as to when the law creating the state
tax commission went into effect, and
NHCtHtI VI Hot lHt dsStSshtuls ibaoS
on corporate property last year are
binding. The question hinges entirely
on the referendum section and the int
tiative and referendum constitutional
amendment.
If the initiative and referendum con-
stitutional amendment prevents the law
from taking effect until after ninety
days have elapsed from the time the
legislature adjourns, then last year
ization is valid; but if the law takes
effect within sixty days after 1T mas
been approved by the governor, then
there is question as to the validity
of last years valuation of the corpor-
ate property by the board of equaliza-
tion. At any rate the court does not
determine that phase of the matter,
but without doubt the corporations
could test the constitutionality of the
initiative and referendum on the ques
/ tions that are raised in today's letter
to the governor.
The opinion is merely letter to
| Governor Shafroth and is not de
! cision.
| Following the announcement of the
court Governor Shafroth and Treasurer
Kenehan agreed upon the following ap-
pointees for the commission:
Prof. John B. Phillips of Boulder;
/ c.. B. Link of Park, and j. Frank
Adams of Denver.
Prof. Phillips is appointed for the
six-year term. The other two must
draw cuts to see which will serve the
four-year term.

THE TAX COMMtS SION IS LEGAL

Denver, May 22.-The proposed con
stitutional amendment being initiated
by the Direct Legislation League and
the Farmers Educational and Cooper
commission provides that the governor
shall appoint the commission immedl-
ately upon the adoption of the amend
ment One member for two years, one
member for four years and one mem
Der for six years. should the amend
ment be adopted, it gives Governor
Shafroth the right to name the com
mission before he retires from office.
There is no provision for confirmation
by the senate. Evidently the Direct
Legislation League is thereby repayiug
Governor Shafroth for the many fa-
vors he has conferred upon it by allow
ing his employees to assist it in the err,
culation of Initiation and referendum
petitions.
incidentally it will allow Governor
Shafroth the privilege of trading po-
sitions on the commission for the
United States senatorship.
A committee representing the Pueblo
state fair called on Governor Shafroth,
State Treasurer Kenehan and State
Auditor Leddy Thursday in an effort
to secure some sort of a promise from
them as to when the fair appropriation
would be paid. The committee was
given the same reception that has been
given every committee which has tried
to secure promises of financial support
from the three officials. The time was
spent by the officials in quarreline
among themselves over finances and
the committee was allowed to return
home no wiser than when it came.

ENJOY TRIP TO NOME
 VIA INSIDE PASSAGE

Returning to Alaska from their home in California where they spent the winter. Mir. and Mrs. Q. IT. Mcdonald arrived in skagway Sat urday evening on the spokane en- route to Nome
 Mir. and Mrs. Mcdonald have been making the trip to Alaska for the past several years and each winter they go to California. where they have a ranch. while in the northIand they own the famous Buck Creek placer tin mines.
 Mir. Mcdonald Is the superintend- ent of the York Dredging Company. who have leased the placer tin claims, and last year was the first season that the placer tin had been actively worked. Ninety-two tons of the metal, 6s per cent pure. with a valuation of s72,0OO was the yield of 2S days actual operat- ing time of the dredge.
 Tn taking in the gasoline dredge, with which the ground is worked, it was necessary to build a road over the soft tundra, and for that purpose, the company bought all the coal sacks which could be ob- tained in the Nome district, and' after spreading them down on the soft earth, two and one half feet of sand and gravel was hauled on, making road over which heavy hauling could be accomplished.
 The largest nugget ever taken out in the district weighed forty-two pounds and last year one weighing 12 pounds was picked up.
 Mir Mcdonald Is very optomistic over this seasons outlook, and he states that he believes that they will take out fully s300,000 worth of tin. This is the first time that NIT and Mrs Mcdonald have made the trip via skagway, but they stated that it would not be the last. as they found it much more agree able to make the trip through the inside passage than 10 run the risk of the dangers incident to the open sea.
 They will continue their Journey on Friday. having secured reserva- tions on the first boat sailing out Of Whitehorse.
