Craig.-Dynamite was used in the
capture Of two notorious outlaws who
have terrorized three counties in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming for more than a
week, and have stolen scores of horses
belonging to ranchers. Wounded al
most to death, the men held out for
seven hours in mountain cabin, forty
miles northeast of here, and defied a
posse of forty men, led by three sher-
ifs, until they were told that unless
they surrendered they would be blown
to atoms by dynamite, which had been
smuggled under the foundation of the
building. The outlaws were within
striking distance of timber. and when
they saw the fuse of the dynamite
sticks they made dash for the trees
and liberty, but were intercepted by
members OF the posse.

canals upon the Rio Grande and its
tributaries, 49,

for the benefit of New Mexico. Mex

Resolutions were adopted calling
upon Governor Shafroth to protest to
President Taft against the illegal ac-
tion of the Interior Department in

in the federal courts, to protect the
rights of the state. Copies were sent

Here is the whole story of Mrs.
Grace's life within the last year,
and of the extraordinary circun-
stances surrounding the shooting
of Grace:
Mrs. Grace, one year ago, was
the widow of William H. Opie, a
wealthy pulp manufacturer. Opie
had left her a fortune, running
into the six figures.
She did not wear her widows
weeds long. Soon after the death
Of Opie she paid a visit to At.
lanta. There she met Eugene H.
Grac, bachelor, and society leader
Grace, who was only 81 years
old, fell in love with the widow.
Mrs. Opie was 10. Grace pro-
posed to her, and she accepted
him. They were married, and
became leaders of Atlanta soci-
ETY.. They seemed very happy to-
gether.
Very recently, Grace insured
his lif for SIS, 900. He made his
wife the beneficiary. This, the
police say, gives a motive for Mrs.
Grace to Kill her husband,
But Mrs, Grace's friends am
swer What would she want with
a paltry $4,000? She already
has many times that of her own,
and in her own right, which she
can use as she pleases?
On the morning of March 6,
Grace had arranged to take
trip to Philadelphia on business.
His wife arranged to visit friends
in Newman, Ga, while he was
