bodies Of w. e. Ritter, 23, and Mrs.

that double murder may have been
committed.
Both Mrs. Hamblin and Ritter had
been shot through the head, apparent

side on the bed, however, there were
powder burns on Mrs. Hamblin's skin
and none on Ritter's, indicating that
the bullet which killed him was fired
by third person, standing several
feet away.

CROPS ARE FLOURlSHlNG.

Fruit Prospects Good and Sugar Beets
in Fine Condition.
Denver. - Colorado's outlook for
late fruits is excellent, despite the alb
sence of rain on the western slope in
localities for many weeks, according
to the crop report for the week end
ing Aug. "a, issued by F. H. Branden-
burg, chief of the Denver forecast
bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The bulletin fol-
lows:
During the week the temperature
was below normal in the central coun-
ties. On the western slope the temp
erature was slightly above the sea-
sonal average. Warmer weather
would be beneficial on the eastern
slope.
'1n most of the central counties the
precipitation was heavy, and in the
eastern counties the rainfall was
ample for all needs. On the western
slope, however, practically no rain of
consequence has fallen in localities
for many weeks. The sunshine was
insufficient in most central and east
ern counties, retarding the growth of
corn and other crops.
"Haying, harvesting and threshing
proceed satisfactorily generally, but
in some central counties the wet
weather interfered with outdoor work,
and the second crop of alfalfa was
damaged locally in some central coun-
ties by heavy rains.
"The outlook for fruit, especially in
the southeastern part of the state, is
good. Small grains made good pro-
gress, and sugar beets are in excel
lent condition. Ranges are in excel
lent condition, except in some dis
tricts on the western slope.'

Board Defends Coal Lands Sale.

Denver.-That the land was sold as
result of sworn affidavit that it
contained no coal will be the answer
of the State Land Board to the suit
instituted by N. s. Walpole to knock
out the mineral reservation clause in
the sale of a section of state land in
Weld county, near Erie, which has
now been found to contain coal de-
posits valued at no less than $1,000,-
900. A decision unfavorable to the
state would apply to all sales of state
school land in which the mineral
rights have been reserved to the
state, and would mean a loss to the
school fund of hundreds Of thousands
of dollars through existing and fu-
ture coal land leases.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In Selec-
tion Of tho Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It Is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress Is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One Of the most significant develop
ments of recent years Is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints Of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are SO many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

SWEDEN Is NEAR WAR?
NATION OPPOSED TO lNTERFER-
ENcE OF TRADE BY BRITAIN.
Reported That Country VIII Join the
Teutons-Norway and Denmark
Hay Aid Allies.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE area Of
war in Europe may be further widened
shortly by the entrance of the king
dom of Sweden into the conflict.
Official and authoritative informa-
tion received here is to the effect that
Swedens reason will be the interior
ence of the British fleet with trade
between the United States and that
country.
The real ground for action, it is as
serted, will be the desire of Sweden
to profit territorially from Russia's de-
feats.
If Sweden should throw her forces
on the side of the central powers it
is regarded as altogether unlikely that
Norway and Denmark will be able to
keep out of the maelstrom which has
engulfed most of Europe.
Norway is additionally pro-English
in sentiment and policy, and Dem
marks hatred of Germany. because Of
the latter's seizure and absorption of
the lost Danish provinces" has not
been diminished by time.
The Scandinavian kingdom has q
total war strength of about 4S5,000
men. It's navy comprises one sea-go-
ing cruiser, 13 coast-defense battle
ships, eight destroyers and more than
fifty torpedo boats and submarines. In
case of war the navy would cooperate
with that of Germany.
While there is no question that the
British fleet has interfered with trade
between the United States and Swed-
en-, and this government will protest
in a few days against violations of
American rights, as matter of fact
there has been a skiold increase in
commerce with that country. During
the last fiscal year the United States
sold to Sweden products valued at
$7s,273,S1S, as against $14,644,226 dur
ing the fiscal year preceding the war.
