War in Streets Of Colo
rado Town.

battle is raging at a late hour tonight
at the head of Seventh Street between
striking miners and coal company
guards.
Four men have been killed and several
injured. and the firing continues. The
strikers are surrounded by mine guards.
All the men killed so far are strikers
and their comrades have rushed to the
tent colony OF the strikers, about a mile
and one-half from the scene of the fight
ing, to arm themselves with whatever
weapons they have in the tents.
The, fighting started as guards were
escorting nonunion men past the walsen
mine. A striker threw a brickbat at
the guards and the guards opened fire.
Many OF the union men were armed and
at once returned the fire.

Stevenson and His Toy Wars.

From the London Globe.
Robert Louis Stevenson always had the
abiding spirit of the child in him, and
entered whole hearted in the pastime OF
the young Lloyd Osborne. Becoming
absorbed in the pursuit he developed a
wonderful "'Kriegspiel' which kept the
two engrossed during the early days OF
his exile at Davos. An entertaining ac-
count of the strenuous campaign they
carried out has since been given by Mr..
Osborne.
The game, he says, was constantly i'm
proved and elaborated until from a few
hours a war" took weeks to play, and
the critical operations monopolized half
their thoughts. The game was played in
an attic, and Mr.. Osborne describes II
as "a most chilly and dismal spot. reach
ed by a crazy ladder and unlit save for a
single frosted window; so low at the
caves and so dark that we could sell
dom stand upright, nor see without a
candle"
Describing the method of procedure.
he says:
Upon the attic floor a map was rough
" drawn in the chalks of different colors,
with mountains, rivers, towns, bridges,
and roads Of two classes. Here we would
play by the hour, with tingling fingers
and stiffening knees and an intentness,
zest, and excitement that I shall never
forget The mimic battalions marched
and countermarched, changed by measur-
ed evolutions from column formation in
to line. with cavalry screens in front
and massed supports behind in the most
approved military fashion of today. II
was war in miniature, even to the, maxi
ing and destruction of bridges, the in
trenching of campo; good and bad wealth
er, with corresponding influence on the
roads; siege and horse artillery, pro-
portionately slow, as compared to the
speed of unimpeded foot, and proportion
ately expensive in the upKeep: and in
exciting commissariat added the last
touch of verisimilitude.
'HThe strength CT the enemy in any
given spot could only be ascertained. ac-
cording to- strictly defined regulations,
and an attempt was even made to mark
certain districts as unhealthy and to set
tie by the hazard of the dice box the
losses incurred by all troops passing
through them
During one war Stevenson chronicled
the operations in series of extracts
from the Glendarule Times and the
Yallabally Record. until the editor OF
the latter sheet was hanged in order
of Gen. Osborne and its place supplied
by the less offensive Herald.
year after year he reverted to the
game. and even In Samoa there was a
campaign room with the map coIored on
the floor although the painful realities
of actual warfare, either present or inn
mineht. occupied all our thoughts for the
closing period OF steyensons life"

The Kaiser. Private Library.

From the Westminster Gazette
1t has been announced that the private
library of Kaiser Wilhelm will form one
Of the principal exhibits at the exhibition
of the book trade which is to be held in
Leipzig next year. and that the library
will be conveyed there in entirety for ex-
hibition to curious visitors. The an
nouncement has caused considerable ex-
element among German amateurs. but
the Kreus-Zeitung. in giving interesting
particulars OF the Kaiser's private IL
brary, affirms that it is much smaller
than is generally supposed. It consis<s
in all of only 5000 volumes, and two
thirds Of the total number have been ac-
quired during the twenty-five years of
the German Emperor's reign. When
Kaiser Wilhelm assembled the throne he
inherited a private library Of a mere
$500 volumes. CharacteristicaIly, he
commenced by eliminating nearly one
half of them as being books Of no pres
ent practical value.
The catalogue OF the Emperor's pri-
vate books is divided into twelve care
fully arranged categories. The first con-
sists of encyclopedias and dictionaries.
the second of books on Jurisprudence,
the third, political economy and social
sciences; the fourth, colonial; the fifth,
archaeology and mythology; the sixth,
universal history; the seventh, history
of the Hohenzollerns; the eighth, bio
graphies, memoirs, personal recollectionsl
and correspondence; the ninth, military
science; the tenth, geography and eth
nology, while the last two divisions are
devoted to German literature and pic
tures. Each volume contains a book
plate designed by the German artist.
Earnest DoeppIer. The design consists
of the imperial arms, with the inscrip-i
ton, "Ex Hbris Wilhelm ii, Imperatoris
Regis" Kaiser Wilhelm. we are further
informed. is not a collector Of book
plates. His brother, Prince Henry, pos
sesses one of the finest collections in |

LICENSE TAGS HERE.

The first consignment of new auto
mobile license numbers which owners
of motor driven vehicles are required
purchase according to the new state
law, began to arrive in Hammond YES
rerday. The new number plate is a
gaudy yellow with a black number and
in appearance has not made very
deep impression on the owners who
have to fasten them to their machines.
The license is not near as neat as the
old numbers. Some automobile owners
who sent in for their new licenses sew
eral months ago experienced some diff
fculty in getting their numbers, as
the state officials were swamped with
orders. 1t is thought tina in another
week Hammond automobile owners
will be supplied.

Fabing Gets Grand Jury.

Prosecutor Walter j. Fading explod-
ed bombshen today when he appear
ed before Judge Bartholomew directly
after the noon intermission and asked
that the grand jury be called to re-
port Wednesday morning. The court
granted the request and the clerk was
instructed to give the notification.
AS to what prompted the action on
the part of the prosecutor is purely
a matter OF conjecture. When asked
for statement today by reporters he
refused to make any. In his written
request to the court, he stated that
on account of the many complaints
coming into his office, alleging law
violations, he felt in duty bound TO
make the petition. When asked out of
court If the call would in any way
affect business at Flint lake, he was
still reticent, except that he said
something sensational might develop.
