inky blackness of the night and their
better acquaintance with the rough

The Indians made simultaneous at

Indians under his command immedi,

The captured bucks refuse to. disclose
the number in their band or how many

The battle occurred in Dark canon

that the affair will now simmer dowr

made for the lake country and tn

is so rough that it will take consider

UNCLE SAM ALLEGES BIG
FRAUD IN TAX RETURNS
Files Suit for Thousands Of Dollars
Against $50 individuals and
Corporations.

New York.-A casual conversation
between passengers in a western pull
man car a year ago which was over
heard by a federal revenue agent led
to an investigation which resulted Ia
the filing in the federal district court
Of an equity, income and excess
Profits tax suit for $3.50, SAP "A, with,
interest, from 450 individuals and
corporations in the United States and
Canada.
The defendants were stockholders
in the Warren Realty and Develop
ment company, of Arizona, which
Assistant Federal Attorney House
said, was sold in April, 1917, for
81, 202, 900. The government claims
the properties, largely the Arizona
copper mine claims, were acquired for
a little more than 100000 and that
The company's 1917 tax return failed
properly to show the profit resulting
from the sale.
Discovery Of the alleged tax fraud,
the government declares, was made
by q field agent Of the interna-
revenue service who, during tho
course of a conversation in a western
pullman car, overheard details of the
sale of the Arizona company and
made a report which formed the
basis of the subsequent inquiry.
The investigation led, Mr.. HOUSE
said. to Arizona and several cities and
eliminated in the bringing of a suit
against Thomas F. Cole. of New
York, and the other trustees fox
liquidation OF the Warren company
stockholders and also the Mechanics
and Metals National bank, the. Chase
National bank, the Hanover National
bank, the Irving-Columbia Trus,
company. the president and directors
Of the Manhattan Trust company as
collection agents, and also various
corporations and estates.
The Warren Realty and Develop
nent company. according to the gov
eminent complaint, was incorporated
in 1905 and dissolved in 1917. After
the sale OF it's property the proceed:
were distributed among the stock
holders.
The governments suit is brought
against the stockholders on tht
theory that the amounts received b,
them were trust funds which th'
government may follow in order t.
recover the tax due, Mr.. House de
clared.

SENATOR DEAD
SAMUEL D.. NICHOLSON VICTIM
OF cANCER-A SELF MADE
MAN.

Denver, Colo.-Samucl ID. Nichol'
son, United States senator from Colo
RADIO, died here at 9:17 o'clock Sat
urday night. Carcinoma, or cancer OF
the liver, caused his death. He had
been i'll for nearly a month.
From a laborer in the gold mines
near Leadville, Samuel ID. Nicholson
rose TO a position Of wealth, as a mine
owner and United States senator; and,
as a self made man, he was proud
hat he obtained his education, as he
often expressed it, lin the school or
experience" He was one of the
principal figures in the mining in
dustry Of Colorado.
Senator Nicholson was born Febru-
airy %, 1859, in Springfield, Prince
Edward island, Canada. His parents
were Donald NJ. and Catherine me
Kiazie) Nicholson. The family is OF
Scotch descent. The father of
Senator Nicholson was a farmer, but
the farm life seemed too prosaic for
the boy, and, after having graduated
from the schools of the island, he
lCHlutu " CllllSl l w IN Sh'''
States. Young Nicholson went to Bay
city, Mich, and completed his
grammar school course in that city.
This constituted his formal acquaint.
ance with school books. From that
time on his textbooks were the world
and experience.
In the winter of 1881 rumors of
rich gold strikes in Colorado drifted
to the prairie farm in Nebraska,
where he was milking COWS and doing
farm chores, and fired the heart OF
the young man with the desire to
participate in the wrestling of wealth
from the mountains. Leadville then
was at it's height as a boom town, n
II was to this town of toll and excite
ment that Nicholson went, his worn
shoes almost gone, without an over
coat, and with but a small amount OF
none in his pocket.
Nicholson soon found work as a
common laborer in the Col. Sellers
mine. Except for q short interval
when he worked in the coal mines at
Trinidad, Colo, Nicholson kept at the
''hard rock" mining in Leadville and
soon became known as a skillful and
reliable foreman. BY gradual stages
he was advanced, holding the
positions as mining superintendent
and manager. During this time he
was connected with the A. Y. and the
Minnie mine and other valuable
properties.
Familiarizing himself with all the
details of the mining industry and
making a close study Of the mining
situation and conditions in Leadville
he began to use his knowledge for his
independent operations. Backing his
Judgment with his savings, he secured
a lease on the Col. SeIters' mine.
which then was considered worked
out, and on an adjoining property
This lease alone won a small fortune
for Nicholson.

COLD HURTS EARLY
CROPS In SOUTH
Train Service Over the Entire Middle
West is Seriously Crippled BY
Snow Storm.

Chicago.-After a fitful, capricious
winter, with but few cold days and
little snow, Chicago and its territory
is now experiencing the coolest
weather in 80 years for this time OF
year.
Following Sunday nights blizzard
the temperature at various points
Monday morning showed three de-
grees below zero. The city awoke to
frozen pipes, s~nowdrifts, broken tele-
graph and telephone wires and
crippled transportation. There were
three deaths in the city from the
storm, all being found frozen to
death. In addition three people were
killed in automobile accidents due to
the binding blizzard.
The middle west is a heavy sufferer
from Sunday nights storm. All the
territory from the Rocky mountains
to the Mississippi river had been
buried under the blizzard Of a week
ago and was just digging it's way out
when the fresh storm arrived. Train
operation all through the west is
badly delayed. Many freight trains
have been Cancelled and passenger
trains are being operated with two
locomotives. At that, the schedules
are seriously upset.
The intense cold penetrated as far
south as central Missouri, and the
Texas Panhandle reported a
storms, followed by snow and much
colder weather. In many districts OF
the southwest and south, it is said,
the peach, potato and other early
crops are ruined.
Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas and
Colorado appear to have been the
worst sufferers. Heavy snow banks
have shut off transportation and the
gales have knocked down miles Of tel
egraph and telephone poles so that
hundreds of towns are completely iso-
lated. Several trains were dug u or
snow banks in Iowa, Montana and the
Dakotas and the passengers cared for
at the nearest towns.
1t was predicted that a third
blizzard, then raging in Montana and
travelling eastward at so miles an
hour, would strike the lakes region
Monday night. but it appears to have
been diverted.
