amputate the injured leg below the
knee. He will survive, physicians be.
lieve. When the physician reached
him at Camp Creek Nelson was al.
most dead.
The four men hitched themselves in
a harness similar to that used on dog
sleds. and in snow hip deep pulled
the heavy lad fourteen hours each OF
the two days they were on the road.
This was done with almost no food.
The FIRST day out all they had was a

Despite the narrowing experience OF
the long trip Nelson reached the hos.
pital in better condition than when he
left the camp and rallied from the

WILLARD DEFEATS MORAN.
Thirteen Thousand See Heavyweishts
Fight Ten Rounds.

New York.-Jess Willard is still
the heavyweight pugilistic champion
of the world. In ten rounds of fast
fighting he defeated Frank Moran OF
Pittsburg Saturday night on points.
A crowd OF about 1900 persons paid
approximately Sl50,000 to see the
fight and went away apparently sat
isfied with the result. 1t was the
greatest gathering Madison Square
Garden had ever seen. Many women
were In the throng. Willard broke
his right hand In the third round. but
blows from his fighting left kept
Moran at distance. Moran's best
round was the third and his worst
probably was the seventh. He was
bleeding after the fifth round. and his
left eye was almost closed at the end.
Moran put up game fight Most
OF the time he crouched and forced
the fighting. Willard seemed slower
on his feet than the challenger, and
appeared to have an unlimited capac.

CUT IN WATER RATES
REDUCTION ORDERED BY PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION.
Precedent in Corporation Regulation
Established by State Board In
Cripple Creek Case.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.


Denver.-An. important precedent
in fixing water rates and otherwise
regulating water corporations in the
cities of the state was established by
the Colorado Public Utilities Commits
sion in a decision of the controversy
between the city council of Cripple
Creek and the Cripple Creek Water
Company.
Immediate 10 per cent horizontal re-
duction of water charges was ordered.
and a Is per cent reduction In hy-
drant rentals.
The decision declares the rule re-
quiring consumers to lay and pay for
their own connections to the mains is
unreasonable" and orders the substi-
tuition of rule requiring the company
to make such service connections at
its own expense in the future.
The decision was given after an in
vestigation started at the request OF
the city of Cripple Creek. Oct. 5,
1915. The hearings were held thera
and the company was ordered to
bring its books from the company's
offices In Bay City. Mich.
The estimate of C. p. Allen. engl-
neer for the company, of the value o.
the plant at s346,s15. was reduced for
the rate-fixing purposes of the com
mission to s233.795. on the advice OF
d. S. Hooker. the commissions engi
neer.
Reductions were made in estimates
for engineering service, contractor
profits, legal services, interest during
construction and for certain pipe
lines. which, owing to the alleged de
crease in the city's population. were
no longer used or useful"
The company was finally ordered
to keep its books at its Cripple
Creek offices. that they might easil,
be accessible to the commissions in
spactors at any time.

Deep Shows Affect Forest Business


The unusually heavy snowfall
which has signalized the past winter
th roughout the West is said to have
materially affected national forest
business. According to Denver fores.
try officials, timber sale receipts
have decreased in some regions, par
ticularly in the Northwest, because
logging and milling operations have
been hampered by deep SHOWS and
exceptionally cold weather Similar
conditions have given stockmen using
the forest ranges much concern. al.
though no severe losses have yet
been reported. The foresight of stock
men In providing winter feed is be
lieved to have prevented the heavy
losses of former years. Damages
caused by SHOWS, slides and floods to
forest service trails, telephone lines
and other improvements are not yet
known, but undoubtedly are heavier
than usual and repairs will make
much spring work for the rangers.

that war had been averted by

express themselves as being eag-

Chapter Of Accidents

In addition to mistaking a man
up a tree for a bird and shooting
him, account of which will be
found in Salisbury Serb.
lings, and the automobile tumble
into the Charlton river at Rock
ford, there were numerous other
accidents in various parts of the
country, ranging from seri-
GUS runaways to finger and hand
cuts, from binders and mowers
and bottles.
A. Sem of Indian Grove, 80
years of age, was returning across
the road from his garden when a
team belonging to Joe Clavin
was claiming the right of way
on the run. Mr.. Sem was run
over and besides numerous
bruises, his leg was broken. A
surgeon was called from this city
and reduced the fracture and
patched the nongenarian up and
left him as comfortable as could
be expected under the circum-
stances of his advanced age.
Two daughters of Henry Troe,
north west of town were driving
a buggy. The horses took fright
at something and ran away, over
turning the buggy and spilling
the occupants who were con-
siderable scratched up, one OF
them sustaining a broken wrist,
and perhaps internal injuries,
splitting of blood being the evi.
dence of more serious injury.
Hands, thumbs and fingers
may be noticed bandaged every
where one goes, and poison oak
is abroad in the land extensively.

THE EUROPEAN WAR
Germans Regaining from English
French Advancing Some
Russian Gain.

The fierce fighting along the
ninty mile front in France is
still progressing and the English
and French have gained several
miles of lost ground and several
German trenches besides captur-
ing a number of prisoners and
guns. Accounts yesterday were
to the effect that the Germans
had been heavily reinforced
against the British armies and
were driving them back, and
that the French had made fur
ther advances. The main effort
of the Germans appears to be
against the English and it is con-
fidently predicted that they will
drive that army back beyond the
border of the regained ground.
The Russian army is still VIC
torious in the east, tho there is
wide territory remaining between
the border of Russia and Aus
tria held by the Austr'ans and
the Russian advance not so rap
id.
