HYDE MAY GO TO THE STATE ASYLUM
JUDGE PHlLPOT BELIEVES ACT. IONS OF FARMER WARRANT
 HIS BEING SENT THERE
Attorneys Want Commission To In. quire Into His Sanity-SOme
 of His Acts.

E. B. Hyde, the Spring township farmer who was placed in the county jail Monday by Gabe Meyer on a lunacy charge, at the instance of his father-in- J. w. Moring, will in all probability be sent to the state hospital for nervous diseases at Little Rock. Application has already been made at that institution for ward for him and Judge Philpot will order him sent there as soon as the papers are received here, and he is declared by physicians to be- of unsound mind.
 Attorney J. M. Shaw and w. B. Sor rells, representing Hyde, appeared before Judge c. M. 'Philpot yesterday and asked for jury to inquire into Hyde's sanity. Judge Philpot declin- ed to summon a jury because of the unnecessary expense such procedure would be and because he is thorough ly convinced that Hyde is of unsound mind. @ts.
 The attorneys charge that Moring, Perry Hyde, son of the unfortunate man. and Hyde's wife are trying to imprison him in order to get possess ion of his property, which is of little value. Judge Philpot is convinced that Hydes relatives are trying to prevent him from disposing of what little property he has and of squandering the money. Hyde recent ly sold his crop for $15O to J. ID. Wallace, sold all of his cattle and stock and announced that he was going into the real estate business at Sheridan He went there, opened an office, bought number of lots, pay ing part cash and giving notes, and has no further capital to work on.
 Eight or. ten years ago Hyde was the chief actor in similar venture. He went to Brewster's brickyard, bought a million and a, half brick, had them shipped to England, <Ark.. and when they arrived he had no money to pay the freight, much less the cost ot the brick. They had to be returned. He declared at that time that he was going to build $10O,000 warehouse at England His actions at that time necessitated his being cared for for some weeks by relatives. His attor- neys admitted yesterday that his actions at that time were peculiar. but now declare him to be perfectly l sane.
 Judge Philpot has instructed Coun- ty Health Officer w. H. Blankenship and another local physician, to be selected by the latter. to examine Hyde and report to him as to his con- dition

The most notable example of reclaim

MERGER OF RIO GRANDE AND
WESTERN PACIFIC is PLAN

A consolidation of the Denver &
Rio Grande and the Western Pacific
is the plan which the refinancing of
the latter will take, according to re.
ports received in Denver from New
York city. Millions of dollars will be
required to carry out the policy OF
building feeder lines for the Western
Pacific as announced by President B.
F. Bush.
Four millions more will be spent in
Colorado, according to the information
which reached here yesterday. The
lines in Colorado will all be electri-
fled, according to the new plans, and
the first unit instead of being from
Helper to Salt Lake City will be from
Salida to Salt Lake City.
All authorized securities under the
laws of California, in which it is in
corporated. have been issued by the
Western Pacific. Under the laws ct
California railroad corporation nay
not be bonded for greater amount
than the capital stock, unless a specia.

road commission.
The Western Pacific's capital stock
is S75,000,000. 1t Is bonded for S75.-
| 100000. A consolidation. it is pointed
out would be to combine under one
name interests which are now inter.
locked and common in large degree,
while at the same time 1t would afford
one solution as to how to increase
the borrowing power of the Western
Pacific in order to make the improve
ments. needed and proposed.
The Denver & iRo Grande owns $780,
100000 of the s75.0OO,OO capital stock
of the Western Pacific The Gould
estate, 1t is understood owns s12,5OO,-
900 of the balance SO that only S12,-
100000 remains outstanding in the
hands of the public OF the bonds of
the Western Pacific, the Denver &
Rio Grande owns all the second mort
gage bonds, amounting to $4,000. 900
There would be several ways to
carry out such a merger. One plan
would be to organize a third company
and transfer the properties of the
two railroads to the new company.
which could take up old and issue new
securities.
The amount of capital needed for
the development of the Western Pa
cific is one of the subjects now occu-
pying President Bush and Vice Presl- |
dent Brown. who are making an in
spection of the line. These matters |
it is stated, will be taken up by the
board of directors of the Denver & |
Rio Grande upon Bush's return to the
east. He has said that large sum OF
money is necessary for creating in
creased traffic for the line and that
a way to do 1t will be found.
