ICE DEALER REGs THE COURT
TO ANNuL A PECULIAR
TRANSACTION.

DENVER, July 15.-While Sin a
sort of dream" w. C. Maddox, head
of II. J. Maddox & Company, ice
dealers, claims that he transferred
the entire business and properties of
his firm, estimated to be worth $780,
600, to Frank Adams and the Color
ado Ice and Storage company for a
cash consideration of $4,000.
His efforts to avert damage to his
properties by the great snowstorm in
December put him under such men
tai strain, Maddox says in suit filed
in the district court seeking a court
order to cancel the deed of convey
ance. that he became mentally un.
balanced, and while laboring under
an hallucination that he was finan-
cially wrecked, he signed away his
business, including the Maddox com
pany plant in Denver and the lakes
owned by the firm in Park county.
and bound himself to work for the
defendants as long as they needed
his services, experimenting the cut
ting and moving of ice from the
lakes for SO day wages.
Mrs. Maddox, a member of the
Maddox company, signed the deed
without reading it. according to the
complaint, being busy with house
hold duties and willing to take her
husbands assurance that it was only
an unimportant business paper.
AT the time the deed was made
Maddox, the complaint states. had
100000 cash in the bank and did not
owe a cent.
When he realized what he had
done Maddox, according to the COM
plant. offered Adams $4,000 cash
bonus, later raising it to $4,000 to
cancel the deed The offer refused,

the deed in return for the sum of

LABOR TROUBLES
CAUSE A LOSS
IN PRODUCTION
COLORADO COAL OUTPUT SHOWS
DECREASE OF 1,750,ooo
TONS IN 1918.

The production of coal in Colorado
in 1913 was 9,232,51O short tons,
valued at $14,O35.O90, Compared with
1912, the returns for 1913 show a
decrease of 1.745,314 tons, or 15.9 per
cent in quantity, and of $2,310,246, or
1413 per cent in value The smaller
production in 1913, according to e.
w. Parker, of the United States geo,
logical survey, was due entirely to a
strike, called on September 16 and
put into effect week later, which
reduced the output in the southern
part of the state for the rest of the
year to about 40 per cent of the
normal The production in 1913 was
the smallest since 1905 AS in nu-
merous other instances of labor dis
affection, the trouble in Colorado
arose from a demand for the recog-
milton of the union and led to a con.
test which for bitterness, violence
and bloodshed has exceeded any sim
liar conflict in recent history, neces-
stating first the state militia and
finally the presence of federal troops.
A condition of warfare still exists,
although mining has been resumed
with nearly a full complement of
men under the protection of the fed
eral authorities Few of the mines
were entirely idle at any time dur
ing the strike. and although 1924
men tmore than so per cent of the
average number employed during the
year. were idle for an average of rs
days each, the average number of
days the mines worked was 229, or
two days more than in 1912, when a
production of practically 1000 900
tons was mined without single in
stance of strike or suspension being
reported. The total time lost was
equal to 20 per cent of the time
made, from which 1t appears that ex-
cept for the strike the production
for the year would have amounted to
about 1l,500.0O0 tons. or within half
a million tons of the maximum rec
ord of 1910. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether, if there had been no in
terruption by strikes, the output
would have reached that tonnage or
even the record of 1912, for owing to
crop shortage in adjoining states,
there was a reduced demand for both
railroad and commercial coal.
The miners of Colorado have a
good record for efficiency. In 1912
the average production for each man
employed was S44 tons, and in 1918
it was 1853 tons.
Reports to the bureau OF mines
show that there were 1OS fatal acct
dents in the coal mines of Colorado
in 1913. an increase of 10 over 1912

sailors on deck were busy getting

was fast coming along the edge Of
the Gulf Stream. sending a tremen-
dous sea ahead as in warning OF its
power The sky took on that dull
gray tint which is common 10 all
easterlies on the coast. and the wind
began setting In strongly with squalls

to the southerly and gaining violence

In his work on storms. "the centre

The motion is not circular. but

of the Purseli found the wind start
ing In from northeast and shifting TO
east he rightly believed he would
strike somewhere the centre OF the
disturbance. which would In all
probability sweep along up the edge
OF the stream. As his vessel was
loaded light with a cargo which was
liable TO sudden shifts under severe
conditions. he began to take in his

reported that something was wrong

the heave to leeward. and the
schooner was In danger OF being

the cargo back again to its proper
place. Had It been properly slowed
or shored up. the accident could
not have happened. but like many
coasters making short runs OF a few
days or weeks. they had trusted to
luck to get through without extra ex.

the cargo was loose.
