 ABLE 10 LOCATE THE
 MISSING YOUNG MAN
w. B. Denton Who Disappear ed from Pueblo and Whose Clothes Were Found by the River Is Not Located.
(ey Review Leased Wire.)

PUEBLO, Colo, March 31.-The ! finding of the clothing of w. B. Den- ton, the young man who disappeared i from Pueblo two weeks ago and the circumstances surrounding the finding of the garments, added more mystery to the case than ever before. His parents arrived in Pueblo today and positively identified the clothing found Thursday as those of their son. The parents believe that in a fit of despondency he drowned himself and have therefore turned over the work of locating the body to a local undertaking firm. Searchers returned tonight from the point on the Ark ansas River, fifteen miles east of here where the clothing of the miss ing youth was found, but reported that they could find no trace of the body.
 The police are working on three theories, first that young Denton placed his clothing on the bank of the river and drowned himself; sec ond, that he placed his clothes on the bank 10 make searchers believe he committed suicide and after this he left the country; third, that he was murdered and his clothes places there by the murderer or murdere-s in order to foster the idea of sui eide.
 Whether the clothing was there for two weeks is question. It is stated that there was a heavy rain at that point Wednesday last and it was cloudy Thursday morning. The cloth ing when found Thursday were dry. The police believe the garments could not have been dry had they been there before Wednesday.
 Glenn White told the police that he had passed the very spot where Denton's clothes were found few days ago and they were not there then.
 These facts lead to the supposition that the clothing was placed on the river bank Thursday morning by Denton or some one else.
 A detective who was sent to Las Vegas on a report that Denton was in that town, returned as he was unable to obtain any trace of the missing youth.

PALACE AS HOSPITAL.

ATHENS-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The German Elm peror'5 Villa Achilleion in Corfu which is to serve as hospital for Serbian wounded under the care oi a staff of British doctors and nurses, was built by the Empress Elizabeth Of Austria at a cost of S15,000,000. The German Emperor acquired it from Emperor Francis Joseph for S350,000.
 The Empress Elizabeth, in the course of her almost ceaseless wan derings, found temporary peace in Corfu, which she called the 'flirest of earth's islands, and the villa was erected under her personal superYi- sion. It is superbly situated above the azure Ionian Sea, amid jungles of everblooming roses, palms and native and tropical trees, and many of it's 12S rooms are splendid examples of decoration in the Pompeian and By zantine styles, the chapel being es- pecially remarkable.
 As might be expected from one of the Empress athletic tastes, there is a magnificent gymnasium. ard the marbel swimming pool and the sta bles are equipped in the most lavish way. For seven years, the Empress spent a month each year in the yilla. but the year before her death she de- cided not to return and had the furri ture sent back to Vienna.

constitutional convention still are
awaiting the full text of the border
control protocol signed in Atlantic
City last week and the full text of
Secretary Lanes statement defining

There is seemingly satisfaction that
an arrangement has been reached for
the withdrawal of the American troops

tempered by the feeling that Secretary

consideration. The terms of the pro

kCE1YLENE GAS EXPLOSION
DEATH Of FRED STEES

The Chippewa (Michigan) Herald
of Wednesday, Nov. Is, gives the fol-
lowing account Of the sad death of
Fred Steese, mention of which was
made in this paper two weeks ago:
This morning about nine o'clock,
Fred Steese, aged 20, was killed at
the Brown Sheet Iron & Co. plant at
Midway near St. Paul, when the acety-
lene generator of the welding plant
exploded. Three others were injured.
Mr.. Steese was foreman of the weld
ing department andraised in Mime
apo1is where he has a wife and two
children, Harold and Lorraine, age 3
and years. The unfortunate victim
of this sad accident is a Chippewa lad,
the son of Mr.. :.1'd Mrs. William
Steese of Prentice street. Hc has
been in Minneapolis for years where he
has operated welding plants.
At nine o'clock this morning the par
ents here were informed that their
son was the victim of serious acci-
dent but that he was still living. At
1880 the news came that he had died.
1t was terrible shock and their grief
is almost inconsolable.
AS the news flashed about the city,
their friends were shocked by the un-
timly demise of the unfortunate VIC
tim, who was very we'll and favorably
known here. He was a bright young
man, industrious and an expert in his
line, commanding high wages. He
grew to manhood in this city, was ed
ucated in the local schools and men,
ber of the M. E. church being valued
member of it's choir. Everybody liked
Fred Steese and his death will cause
much sorrow. He was married four
years ago and about that time moved
to Minneapolis to follow the welding
trade, which had just come into prom
inence as means of repairing broken
iron and steel articles of all designs,
and which has since become wonder
full aid in all industries.
The remains will be brought here
for the funeral and interment.
The Herald extendsits heartfelt SYM
pathy to the bereaved family and we
are sure that this community is deeply
touched by the tragedy, and that every
thing possible will be done to tighten
the burden which the heavy hand of
sorrow has placed upon the immediate
family of the deceased.

s. TON INCREASE
1877 BEET CROP

Yesterday morning r. M. Barr ag-
rieulturist for the Great Western Sug-
ar company, received the information
that the company had decided to raise
the price paid for beets grown during
the coming season 81 a ton. This
means that the minimum price per
ton will be Sc instead of SIS as it
now stands in the contracts which the
company has signed with the farmers
of this vicinity. Following is the mes
sage received by Mr.. Barr from w. L.
Lawson, assistant general manager
of the Great Western company.
"The Great Western Sugar COM
pany makes the announcement of 81
per ton increase On prevailing prices
for all beets grown in the coming
season. The minimum price is raised
from SIS to Sc per ton. The price OF
the soiled portion of the crop, which is
in addition to above prices, has been
raised $1.25 a ton. This affects all
contracts previously written"
(Signed) w. l.. LAWSON,
Assistant General Manager
Important News.
When asked for statement regard
ing the announcement Mr.. Barr said:
at doesn't call for mathematician in
order to figure out what this action
on the part of the Great Western com
pany means to the beet growers in
western Montana. 1t will give them
many thousands Of dollars more than
they had figured on receiving and l
believe that it also demonstrates the
fact that the company is willing and
anxious to see to it that the growing
of beets is profitable business for the
man who raises them as we'll as for
the company which turns them into
sugar.
"The company ask the farmers tu
silO' a part of their crop in order that
the beets will not be dumped on the
factory at once. The increase of
$1.25 a ton on sliced beets will enable
the farmer to do this at profit. 1t
is pleasure to make this announce
ment as l am very much interested
in seeing the farmers make good
money on their beet crops."- -Missou-
