Mining Man Shot From Ambush.

Walsenburg, Colo, Feb. 15.-William
Dick, IS, director of the First National
Bank of Walsenburg, one of the own.
partner in the ownership of the Huer-
fano and Pinon Trading Companies,
which supply chain of stores
throughout southern Colorado, was
shot from ambush and instantly killed,
four miles from Walsenburg, Saturday
afternoon, while driving to the Oak
view mine with $4,000 in cash to be
used in paying the men.
Dick was at the wheel of n big ma
chine when the shots were fired from
behind a bridge, about fifty feet away.
He was struck by the first bullet and
released his bold upon the wheel. The
car, which was travelling rapidly, ca.
reened, crashed through an irrigating
ditch and turned upon its side. The
assassins, who until that time had
been concealed behind Lue bridge, then
ran to his side and searched his pock
cts. The turning over of the car un
/ doubtedly saved the cash, as the
money was pinned beneath the real
seat, where it had been concealed.
Gabriel L. Murphy, Walsenburg liv
eryman, was the only witness to the
crime. He was driving toward the
mine. about half a mile behind Dick
when he heard the shots. Looking up
he saw the car dash from the road and
turn over. Two men, he says, sprane
from the bridge and ran to the
wrecked machine. Murphy then turned
his horse about and drove at break
neck speed to Walsenburg. where he
notified Sheriff Jeff Farr, and posses
were organized, which secured the
hills, and are believed to be closing in
on the assassins from three sides from
what is believed to be their hiding
place in the hills. The spot where the
killing took place is in an exceedingly
lonesome country, on the road to the
Oat"iew mine, and the slayers had
plenty of time for concealment in the
neighboring hills.

Denver.-Senator Lines of Fremont
wants the federal government to stop
speculation in wheat, put an embargo
upon wheat exports and to regulate
the domestic production and distribu-
ton of grain during the European war
at least, to the end that the people OF
the United States may be protected
against high prices for grain and
bread.
These are the purposes of joint
memorial introduced by Senator Lines
and directed to the federal Congress.
It recites that last seasons crop was
abnormally large, yielding to the pro-
ducer and handler large profits, be-
cause Of the European conflict. 1t
further recites that speculation in
wheat is running rampant, and manip-
ulators operating on margins through
and upon boards of trade have forced
enormous profits out OF the market"
and elevated the cost of bread to the
masses.
It declares that there are 1000 con-
sumers of bread in the United States

reduction OF the surplus stock of
wheat in the United States by exporta-
| tion is a serious menace to the welfare

That the advance in the cost of
wheat has reduced the size OF loaves
of bread and increased the cost to

That 1t would be a national crime
further to permit our millions of bread.

| An embargo is asked until the crop

table substitutes for bread have been
grown. 1t is declared that such action
would at once arrest the merciless
advance in the cost of food to our
consumers"
Other states and labor organizations
are urged to memoriaIize Congress in
a similar manner.

ONE ON SECRETARY DANIELS
Head of the Navy Evidently Not an
Expert as to the Odor of
Alcoholic Liquors.

A story is going the rounds In
Washington about Secretary of the
Navy Daniels which may or may not
reflect credit on that official, accord
ing to the point of view. According
to this story the secretary was one
morning comforting with an officer
and in the middle of his conference
interrupted the proceedings to say:
"This is the second morning that
have smelled whisky on your breath,
sir!"
To which the officer is said to have
replied: 81 beg your pardon, Mr.. Sec
retary, it was whisky yesterday. but
it is gin this morning"
No name has been allowed to leak
out in connection with this story. and
1t may be that there is more fiction
than fact in it.-Boston Transcript.

Mr.. Litt1efe1d Reports
On the Old Debt Case
Recommending Amount Deter.
mined by Supreme Court Be

nv Assoe,Ar.p pNuss,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.- Reporting
as a special master named by the sl-
preme court to review the Virginia
West Virginia debt suit, Charles E.
Littlefeld today recommended that
the two states share the common as
sets as of January 1, 1861, and that
West Virginia be liable for interest on
her proportion OF the debt from that
date until 1t is paid.
The court already had held that
West virginia's share of the principal
debt OF $33,000,000 should be $7,1S2,-
900 but West Virginia about year
ago laid claims to joint assets of the
two states. Virginia, on the other
hand, claimed interest from West vi1-
GINA.
The report was regarded as work
ing a radical change in the litigation.
Mr.. Littlefield reported that out OF
100000 assets considered In his
report West Virginia would be en-
titled to S3,410,000. In that counec-
ton, however, he called the courts
attention,to testimony that West vir-
ginia had received credits from the
mother state, the amount OF which he
placed at $4,000.
