to open the new bank with a capitol
stock Of $685. QO.
1t has been pointed out here many
times that there is need Of another
bunk in Leesburg, as the present
bank, though . successful one, cam
not under the circumstances under
which tits operated do all the bank

viii Soon Pave The
Up Town Districts
Work has been started on Walnut street paving
On West side.

Work has already been begun on
the paving of the vest side Of Wal
nut Street in the heart of the bust
ness district OF the city. This work
has been DELAYED for some time on
account of the fact that every one
Of the main business houses On the
west side of the street in the bust
ness districts has been lately remodel
ed, some Of the work not having
been yet concluded. When the
pavement is laid the street will be
exeeptionallo pretty and convenient
for shoppers, especially in rainy
weather when the former street sur
face became at times almostimpass-
able. It is hoped that the east side
Of the vii also be paved. It has
also been suggested that a white
way be placed along this pretty bus
iness block when the electric current
becomes available.

CONSIDERS
FORESTER FOR CITY
Mayor and Works Board to
Start Crusade to Preserve
Shade Trees.

Following a conference today be-
tween Mayor Robbins and members
of the board Of public works on the
really serious question OF conserva-
ton of the city's shade trees. now dy-
ing by the hundreds, principally be-
cause Of the work of tree butchers,
President Bavis was instructed to
write to Prof. Stanley M. Coulter, OF
Purdue university, an authority on
forestry, to see If he could recommend
some trained forester to assume the
duties of city forester of Richmond.
Mayor Robbins and the board men,
bers are much impressed with the Fort
Wayne plan of shade tree conserva-
ton, pronounced the best in Indiana
by the state board of forestry, and 1t
may be inaugurated in Richmond.
The Fort Wayne plan places the
conservation Of all street and park
trees under the supervision OF city
forester, who receives no salary from
the city. The Fort Wayne forester is
compensated by the work he does for
property owners. II a citizen desires
his trees trimmed he can secure the
city forester to do the work at a rate
established by the board of public
works.
All park trees in Fort Wayne are
cared for by the city forester without
cost to the city.
The Fort Wayne plan has been in
operation for two years and has been
complete success.

Western Wayne county Democratic

Taggart machine, has been talked OF
for nominee for joint representative on
the Progressive ticket. He has not
stated whether he would accept such
a nomination, but if he voluntarily an.
nounces that he will do so, his name
will undoubtedly appear on the ticket
John Clifford of Fayette county, who

WARFARE SPREADS.
Miners Spread Opposition to Tactics
Of Coal Company.

DENVER, April %. - Warfare
spread to the northern coal mine dis
trict early today. Strikers with ma
chine guns attacked the towns OF Lou
isville, Lafayette and Marshall Re-
ports said Louisville was on fire. Tele-
phone communication with the towns
is destroyed.
Reports that President Wilson had
ordered two regiments of regular
troops to enter the strike region from
Fort d. A. Russell at Cheyenne, Gre
ated excitement today. Governor Am
mons admitted that he is powerless to
suppress warfare and it was generally
admitted that the government must
intercede if peace is to be restored in
Colorado.
Three hundred strikers attacked
three mines of the Rocky Mountain
Fuel company in Northern Colorado
and fighting was still in progress to-
day. Twenty guards at the Vulcan
mine at Lafayette retreated into the
mouth of the shaft before the strikers
onslaught and were held prisoners.
Firing was also reported at the Gore
ham mine. The Hecla mine near Lou
isville was the scene of another bat
tie. All are in Boulder county, TWEEN
ty-five miles from here.
Three Are Killed.
The superintendent of the Walsen
mine in telephone message received
at the company's local office, said
that three or four persons ahd been
killed in attack on the property by
strikers. Troops arrived at the mine
early today and the strikers ceased
firing. The troops will not go into
action unless a general attack on the
mine ia made, the authorities said.
Fifty guardsmen left Ludlow at mid
night for Walsenburg, where Jesse
Russell, a mine guard, and an uniden-
titled striker were killed in attack.
Another man and Marguerite Gregory
were wounded. Strikers burned the
Mentally shaft house and tipple. Re-
ports today said the McNally property
would be total loss except for the
underground workings.
Reports from many other parts of
the Colorado coal fields told of
clashes between strikers and mine
guards last night The warfare has
inflamed the entire state and unions
are voting appropriations to arm their
men and send them into the field to
aid the strikers in their battle against
the militia. This is being done openly
and without the least equivocation
Thus far the civil authorities have not
dared and it is doubtful if they will
dare to prevent this warfare.

He reached the white house at 10
