man wearing a militia uniform the
day before the battle of April 20. in

OF Mrs. Pearl Jolly before the coro-

saw the bullets explode.
William Snyder, whose l2-year-old
son was shot and killed in the Iud-

thick that he abandoned the idea of
rescuing the body and took refuge
with his wife and some children in a
cave. He stayed there until ] O'Clock

THE Interstate Commerce Com

senger rates from Colorado TO
thirty outside states, to practically
all the provinces OF Canada and to
the District of Columbia and Cuba.
Both the local offices of the Colora-
do Midland and the Rio Grande have
been notified to this effect. The
rates to the thirty states are abso-
Lutte with the exception OF few
cities. and ticket cannot be sold to
any OF these states, unless ii be
through some special tariffs on file
at the office OF the commission.
The action while not unexpected,
was far more drastic than looked for
The new files have not arrived as
yet, but are expected in the near flu
ture. As one OF the railroad Off
cials expressed II this morning: We
are clear up in the air" A patron
of one of the roads came into the
local office yesterday and wished to
purchase a ticket to New Orleans.
Louisiana is one of the state affect
ed and the agent figured for a long
while before he found solution to
the difficulty.
The old rate which became out
lawed this morning. is s4S.93. The
only way that a ticket could be sold
was through ST. Louis or Kansas
City, special files of these rates be-
ing at the commissions office. The
rate by st. Louis figured out at

rate through Kansas City was
$51.49. AS both of these rates were

general passenger agent was wired
for rate by way OF Pueblo and FIT.
Worth, Tex. The answer came
back s49.l0. With three different
rates 1t is a case of pay your money
and take your choice
The expected reduction in freight
rates also failed to materialize. The
new rates were postponed until the
3Oth of July. While files of these
rates have been received it is thought
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission wishes more time to put
into effect minor changes before they
become effective.
The reduction in commodity rates
was the most sweeping that has
been made for Colorado shippers in
the last ten years. Practically all
the commodities were effected and
the rates reduced, making living
cheaper in Colorado. AS it is now.
