dropped l,c94.S24 tons, according to
the annual report of State Coal Mine

mand.

TWO GIRLS Save TRAIN
HORSE CREEK DAM, NEAR GREE.
LEY, GOES OUT.
Damage Of $2oo,ooo But Fast eurlina

Greeley. Colo.-The active minds
and ready wit of two young women
prevented disaster on the c.. B. 4
.. railroad and probably saved the
ives of 100 passengers when the
Great Horse Creek reservoir dam.
.wenty-seven miles south of here on
the Adams county line, broke, releas-
ing a wall Of water 100 feet high.
The heroines are Dora Shafer, the
sighteen-year-old daughter Of F. M.
Shafer, a prominent farmer. and Miss
Addie Cannon, night telephone oper-
ator at Hudson.
The Shafer family lives mile north
If the dam and all we're awakened by
he roar OF the water.
Relieving the main bridge had
broken, Miss Shafer telephoned to
Hudson. the nearest town, and the op.
orator in that city notified the agent.
When she realized 1t would be i'm.
possible for him to get men to the
ianger point before No. Is, the fast
Burlington passenger train from Kan
sas City, would arrive, Miss Cannon
called farmers out of their beds and
sent them to the bridge.
The train was tagged Just In time.
One hundred feet of the track at the
bridge approach had been washed from
the main roadbed.
With roar that could be heard for
miles. 300-foot section of the dam
went out. The total loss of property
and water is estimated at between
$175,000 and 100000.
The water, which is owned by the
Henrylyn irrigation district and which
escaped into Box Elder creek, was val
ued at $4,000.
]. M. Norris, George 4. Smiley.
Henry Graf and others had stock
grounds In the rush of waters and
their loss will reach large sum, more
than $50 animals having perished.
In addition to saving the train. Miss
Shafer discovered one Of the freaks
of the flood. the water of which was
from six to ten feet deep, when she
found one Of her fathers horses a
renter had been using blocked in on
the porch of house by ice, mile
from where the animal belonged.
Great cakes Of ice which were bat.
tered against the concrete facing
helped to weaken It and the dam gave
way when the pressure became too
great.

RAILROADS MUST MAKE 80 PER
CENT REDUCTION, REFUND
ss7s.ooo; s5oo.ooo FINES.
PEOPLE WIN VICTORIES
SUPREME COURT AND JUDGE
PERRY MAKE TWO SWEEP
ING DECISIONS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver The railroad companies
we're. dealt two blows simultaneously
In cases involving all freight rutes
from the northern Colorado coal
fields. While Judge John A. Perry
was reading one decision, the justices
Of the Supreme Court were reading
another. Both decisions, taken to-
gether, hedge the railroad companies
in such manner that there seems to
be no escape from putting into effect
the low rates fixed by the State Rail-
road Commission, and the roads must
also reimburse shippers In the sum
Of $S75.000 for overcharges collected.
Judge Perry upholds the order OF
the State Railroad Commission that
coal rates from northern Colorado
fields to Denver must be reduced 50
per cent; decides commission was
constitutionally created and has power
to fix rates, sustains reduction on
lump coal from so to So cents a ton
and all other reductions. Three defen-
dant railroad companies must make re-
funds Of at least $3750o9 In excess
charges and are liable for penalties OF
more than 100000 additional.
The Supreme Court decided that
even II there we're no railroad com,
mission or statute governing freight
rates, any shipper might compel rail-
roads to reduce rates, and prove what
is reasonable rate by offering evil
dence of Interstate rates. Instead Of
being tied up In court for six months,
at enormous expense. shipper may.
under this ruling. prove his case in
half day by offering In evidence
rates fixed by Interstate Commerce
Commission, and no other evidence
Shipper not required to prove that
rates are excessive, but railroads must
prove they are reasonable.
Other cases decided by the Supreme
Court include that OF Oscar Cook, con-
victed of killing Patrolman William
Mcpherson, granted new trial.
Bi-Metallic Company's injunction.
restraining Tax Assessor Pitcher from
carrying out increased assessment un.
der orders of State Tax Commission,
