THE MAKING OF A TOWN.

Deerfeld, Colo, little struggling
townsite, is to have the State Land
Board lay it off in blocks, lots, streets
and alleys after the middle of Janu-
airy, 1914. Some of the streets have
already been named after some OF
our Colorado and national charac.
ters. We visited the land board and
and the officer in charge assured us
that this was an opportunity for col
ored people to colonize and grow
strong by being drawn together. He
said that if these opportunities were
not taken advantage of by the col
ored people he would fill it up with
foreigners, whose agents are daily be-
seeching them for land for their coun-
trymen at home" The average acre
costs about 500, two lots will be sold
cheap, the deed in all cases comes
from the state. There is no reason
why the colored people ought nos and
cannot avail themselves of the op-
portunity of going up or writing the
State Land Board for particulars and
then act. Every day our chances for
wealth and livelihood are being di-
minished and the men of today ought
to prepare for tomorrow Jobs are
getting scarcer and scarcer and let
us prepare and make jobs instead of
always asking for a job. Every dol
lar spent to improve Deerfield means
two dollars benefit for Denver. Buy

600 have been sold by the Borax
Kings trustees as the first step in
clearing up the tangled affairs of the
financier. Three large parcels of land
near Piedmont, comprising 1000 acres,
have been disposed of. and the 10
story Syndicate building in Broadway
near Fourteenth street, Oakland, has
been put on the market.
All the properties are the private
holdings OF Smith. but have an indi-
rect connection with the United Prop
critics tangle. The Dingee property
of 500 acres lying back of the Pied
mont hills was sold recently to Louis
Titus and associates for a figure said
to be close to $1,000, 900. 1t is one of
the most valuable of the undeveloped
residence sites in the east bay cities.
The trustees have sold to Wickham
Havens, Oakland millionaire, large
portion of the Trestle Glen tract, also
in Piedmont, and the third piece sold
was Villa Nova tract adjoining Pied

After visiting the Ainslee apart

hastened to the Eagle. At the Eagle
the landiady grufiiy informed the in
truders that she didn't want to have
anything more to do with the Staf-

cause the policemen had routed her
out of bed. but. at any rate. she would
not say anything about the Staffords.

Mrs. Stafford said also Mrs CouIson
had been afraid of Coulson for long
time and that he had beaten her up''
on several occasions.
The night clerk at the Raymond
apartments said few nights ago
Mrs. Coulson had asked to be given
an apartment separate from that
usually occupied by herself and her
husband, and. commenting on the sit
uation, Mrs. Coulson said I'm afraid
of that man, some day he is going TO

1t is understood Coulson has met

that varied little as to details. Mrs.
Stafford said the two women went to
the hotel with Acker, but that Mrs.
Couison refused TO stay there. Mrs.
Coulsen's statement was TO the effect

son said that after she and Acker put

o'clock last night He was seen en-
tering the front door of the apart
ment building where he had lived for
the last fifteen months. After that
his movements are uncertain.

Indications are that he first traced

ridden away and then deliberately
loaded his weapon and entered upon
the long vigil. like a duck hunter in

Under the half light of the waning

toward Van Ness avenue.
WOMAN FOUND BLEEDING
The injured Mrs CouIson walked to
the gore of Market and Franklin
streets. Propped up against a lamp
post, faint and unrecognizable from
mingled powder burns and blood, she
was found by William Scudder. msil
carrier, who lives at 156 Hancock
street. He telephoned to the emer-
gency hospital
The first message the emergency
hospital received was there had been
an automobile accident and the in
jured were at the Atlas garage.
The stewards rushed Kovack to
the hospital, but he was beyond help.
He left a young widow and a baby 2
years old at the Hotel Fillmore.
Mrs. Coulson did the telephoning
to the Atlas garage for the machine
yesterday 1t developed that she had
employed the Atlas people on a num-
Der Of occasions when she had a trip
to make.
Mrs. Curtis was questioned closely
about the appearance of the man she
saw fleeing the scene of the crime.
She is acquainted with Coulson. She
said the man she saw resembled Coul-
son. The police say from her dis
tance under the moonlight it would
have been hard matter to identify
any one.
DETECTIVES WANT COULsoN
Coulson, according to his business
associates, is temperamental man.
who recently has grieyed much over
what they say was his wife's loves
for the gay life and fast companions.
Coulson is as steady as a clock, a man
who does not drink nor have a single
bad habit, and is very Industrious.
His friends say he always could be
found at home in the evening. 1t is
said he was seen entering the Ray
mond apartments at 6 o'clock last
night. but no one has seen him since
that time.
Detectives working on the case
jumped TO the conclusion that Coul-
son Is the man who can tell some
thing about. the case from the very
first.
The case is unusual in that there
are no witnesses to the shooting save
Mrs. Coulson. and Ii is pointed out
there is little hope OF solution TO
the mystery unless she becomes in
clined TO talk more than she has
Inasmuch as she is the wife of the
suspected man, she could not be
4 forced to testify against him.
Steward James O'Day accompanied
I the ambulance when it picked Mrs.
/ Coulson up. She said she had been
held up. She gave her name as Cath
/ crime Gallagher. Then she became
sullen and refused 10 talk 10 anybody
4 about the trouble.
TRACED BY BLOODY FOOTPRINTS
IL was an easy matter to retrace
the footsteps of Mrs. Coulson after
leaving the garage, for every step
