Eaton, Colo.--Stricken by a myster'
ious malady which is puzzling ply
sicians of this city and Greeley, Will
liam F. Tilton, city marshal of this
town, was found unconscious in the
city hall at midnight and raved and
struggled with friends until he was
placed under the influence of opiates.
Tilton was apparently well when his
friends last saw him.
Tilton raved constantly about the
Weld county graft cases in which he
was one of the prominent figures. 1t
was to him that Il. c. Stevens. who
was recently sued for breach of prom
ise by woman convict he met while
at Canon City, gave $500 in n back
room at the city hall at Fort Collins in
return for certain testimony he be-
lieved Tilton would give for one OF
the defendants.
One of the most dramatic moments
of trial filled with sensations came
when District Attorney G. A. Carlson
to whom Tilton hastened the next day
and told the story. tossed the bills into
Stevens lap and brought about, to a
large extent, the conviction of two for
mer county commissioners at Canon
City on charge of perjury.
Tilton's condition is regarded as crit
lcal by his physicians.

FARMERS Want FUNDS
ATTORNEY GE N ERAu BRINGS
SUIT AGAINST TREASURER.
Register Of Land Board Seeks to Get
100000 Available for AsricuI.
tural Needs.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Attorney General Farrar
has filed application in the District
Court for an alternative writ OF man
damus to compel State Treasurer NJ
A. Leddy to explain why more than
100000 In public schools funds is al.
lowed to remain In banks in lieu of
being apportioned In loans to farmers.
Leddy is at present In New Orleans.
where he went for his health, and it
is probable he will be called back be-
fore his leave Of absence has expired.
The suit was brought at the request
of volney Hoggatt. register OF the
State Land Board, who charges that
Leddy is wilfully violating statutes
providing that state school funds
shall be loaned farmers and settlers
in order to build up large private
patronage for himself with Denver
banks.
On Feb. 10 the funds of the state
from sale of public lands aggregated
$GS1 1.332.36. This amount, Hoggatt
maintains, should be placed at the dis
posal of farmers and offered in loans
to settlers who would build up the
states agricultural resources. as pro.
vided for In the statutes. The failure
of previous land boards to insist that
the loan features of the statutes be
observed. charges Hoggatt. is respon-
sible for u stifled development of pub.
lands lands In Colorado.
He charges the former with cow
ardice and lack Of patriotism in per-
mitting bankers to argue them out OF
proposed loans from the funds.
THE state" says Hoggatt, SIS get.
ting four per cent on these deposits.
while the banks who get the 'wad'
turn around and lend the money to the
very farmers who should get 1t direct
from the state at 10 and IL per cent
interest.
The only reason why the law isn't
obeyed is that efforts are made by
state treasurers to build up their
standing with bankers"
Hoggatt's application for mandam-
us seeks to force Leddy to make loans
from the fund or show why. The suit
probably will be heard within the next
two weeks.
Leddy. who has been Ill, left for
New Orleans recently, where he expect.
ed to remain for several months. He
probably will return to resist action
by the court.
