The 640.Acre Homestead Act.

AS time and delay advances the people of the west get more an

They are justly anxious and if ever Congress intended giving the

r.-Government secret service

months ago OF a nationwide conspir'

Three weeks ago third letter from
the dissatisfied conspirator reached
Washington. Immediately the search
for the plotters was renewed by the
Denver officials.
The last letter received disclosed
the fact that Chicago would witness
the first outrage against the church
and that the anti-government plot
would be fomented in Denver with the
wrecking of the new federal building.
Further Investigation by the local
officials of the United States secret
service revealed the former meeting

COOK LOSES INDEMNITY SUIT.
Widow Awarded s2,5oo for Death OF
Husband With Pneumonia AFTER
u Accident.

Denver.--The State Industrial Com.
mission has ruled that occupations
diseases are not covered by the WORK
mems compensation law, and tha''
therefore. indemnities under the work
mems compensation insurance law
cannot be paid for suffering or death
due to such diseases.
This was one of the most import
ant points remaining before the com
mission for determination. The ds'
cision of the commission was gwen
on an appeal made by Sam VIRGIL
cooks assistant, who claimed compeh'
sation because of rash that broke
out on his arms while he was EN-
ployed in Rocky Ford hotel.
In its decision the commission held
that the rash was an occupational dis
ease. not an accident, and that, there
fore, Virgil was not entitled to an In
demnity.
In an appeal made by Mrs. Edith J.
Lanedon on behalf OF herself and 4
minor child for a death indemnity for
the death of her husband, Samuel ].
Langdon. the commission ruled that
an accident which her husband suf-
fered while working for the Cresson
Consolidated Gold Mining Company
was the proxinate cause of his death
although the man died of pneumonia.
Mrs. Langdon was, therefore. allowed
the full death indemnity OF s2,500.
