Trinidad, Colo., Sept. 24. Robert
Lee, marshal at Segundo, a Colorado
Fuel and Iron company camp twelve
miles west of this city, was shot and
killed shortly after noon today by a
foreign coal miner, name unknown,
who with two other foreigners had
been detected by Lee in the act of
tearing up a small foot bridge at that
camp. Lee was shot from his horse,
the bullet striking him in the breast
and penetrating a lung. The foreign
ers made their escape to the hills and j
are still at large. A posse has beeii
organized and is scouring the hills.
The foi si-iu rs are strikers and ha'd
come into the camp this morning from
one of tin- neighboring camps. The
foot bridge across an arroyo had been
but newly built. The foreigners are
declared to have attempted to destroy
the bridge and Marshal Lee was noti
fied and rode up to them on horse
back. As he drew within a few feet
of the foreigners, one of them fired.
The bullet dropped the marshal and
he rolled from his horse dead.
John Thompson an electrician who
ran to the aid of the marshal was shot
at twice bv the foreigners in their
flight, but bullets passing over his
head. The shooting has caused a fur
or of excitement and feeling is run
ning high.
This is the first outbreak since the
calling of the coal strike. It is looked
upon as the beginning of a crisis.
Following the shooting at Segundo,
reports were circulated that the strik
ers, In various camps are arming and
planning to march on the mines which
are still in operation. These rumors,
while they caused some uneasiness,
could not be verified.
Marshal Lee, the dead man, is one
of the oldest of the coal camp officers
in Las Animas county.
No change in the strike situation
has been reported, the operators still
maintain that their mines are being
operated with a small force of men
and the officials of the United Mine
Workers say that ninety-eight per cent
have walked out. A meeting was held
at Starkville this morning, addressed
by "Mother" Jones, who delivered an
impassioned address in which she
urged the miners to fight until death
and never surrender.
Denver, Colo., Sept 24. President
J. F. Wellborn, of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company, this afternoon issued
the following statement relative to the
killing of Robert Lee, at Segundo:
"Robert Lee, who has been in the
employ of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company for several years, was shot
and killed about 12 o'clock today by
one of five men who were togetaor,
and who made their escape into the
hills.
"No attack on the men had been
made by Lee, as he was on his hor'o
at the time and his revolver was in Its
holster when he was picked up dead.
"Lee's character and habits were
above reproach."
Will Spare No Expense.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 24. When in
formed by news dispatches of the
killing of Marshal Robert Lee at Se
gundo, Governor Amnions called Sher
iff J. S. Grisham and instructed him
to spare no expense to capture the
three men implicated in the shooting.
The governor said the sheriff would
have the support of the state adminis
tration in maintaining order. While
the incident was to be regretted, the
governor explained that he did not re
gard it of sufficient importance to call
out the militia. ' -
Denver, Sept. 24. Snow and rain
fell throughout the night along the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains

Denver, Colo., Sept. 24. Judge J.
A. Hiner in the United States district
court at Cheyenne today handed down
an opinion sustaining the sale of 7,371
shares of stock in the Rio Grande
Junction railway to the Denver & Rio
Grande.. The effect of the decision is
to give the Denver and Rio Grande ex
clusive control of the Rio Grande
Junction, a line hitherto used by the
Rio Grande and the Midland jointly
from Newcastle to Grand Junction,
Colo.
The suit was brought by the Central
Trust company of New York, trustee
for the bonds of the Colorado Midland
against the Colorado Midland, the
Denver & Rio Grande, the Rio Grande
Junction and Geo. J. Gould.
The complainant corporation alleged
that the sale of the Rio Grande Junc
tion stock to the Denver & Rio Grande
after the Colorado Midland had de
faulted in the payment of a $480,000
loan for which the Rio Grande Junc
tion stock had been deposited as col
lateral security, was invalid.

FOREST SERVICE TO EXPEND
$12,000 ON STATE ROADS.
The forest service this year will
have to expend on roads in New Mexi
co and Arizona practically the same
amount It spent last year. This means
that New Mexico will receive approxi
mately $12,000 and Arizona about $25,
000.
The road improvement funds rep
resent 10 per cent of the receipts of
timber sales received by the forest
service in the last year. There was
t some doubt as to whether congress
! would allow the subtraction of 10 per
! cent this year, as it did a year ago,
I for roads, but the congressmen finally
decided to continue the practice.
The difference between the New
Mexico and Arizona road funds marks
proportionally the difference . be
tween timber sales in the two states.

funds according to forests. This will
