A CHAPTER OF SAVAGE BATTLES The Old Fight That Has Existed Between the Two Eoada for Tears to i . Be Eenewed, The connection between tha Colorado Midland and Rio Grand at Grand Junc-tion has been made and through trains by the way of the mountains are run-niu- It was a severe stab in the crest of the Denver & Rio Grande; a victory for the Santa Fe. For years these giants have been cutting at each others throats. At times tho battle has flagged, the dogs of war have slumbered in sulky slumber, but no opportunity to renew hostilities has ever been overlooked., For several years now the daggers have been sheathed. They lost neither glitter nor edge, however, and cut as ferociously today as when they were put aside after the savage conflict at Royal Gorge. That running light constitutes the fierc-est and bloodiest chapter in tho strug-gle for railw ay supremacy on the fron-tier. It was a civil war a3 bitter as that which involved the north and south. For years their gladiators had fought for the golden prizes of a western empire. The Leadville with its fabled grandeur arose and both started for its gateway at Royal Gorge. This was the key that nature had moulded. It unlocked a field that has been worth millions to the Denver & Rio Grande railway. It was the artery that led to the pletnorio vaults along California gulch. The race for this point was made. The Santa Fe, older in war than its narrow gauge rival, set the pace. And what a pace it was. It was furious as the avalanche. They distanced their competitor and left a terrible gap. Bat Masterson, who con-tributed so generously to the city of the dead at Dodge, but who never yet was taken further than a cor-oner's jury to vindicate his acts, was placed in commaud of the Santa Fe forces. At his back was an army of gamecocks. Few of them who had not been tested to the core. On the .other hand the Rio Grande had its fighting hosts in the hands of Joe DeRomer. A gamer leader never trod the granite path of of the mountain peaks or shat-tered the stubborn ribs of the hills. He had a following that knew no fear. Thus were the forces pitched. The Santa Fe bad entrenched itself in the yawning mouth of the gorge. It ha every ad-vantage. The battle was practically theirs, and the outlook for the opposi tion was decidedly gloomy. It was then that the Denver & Bio Grande put on its thinking cap and re-sorted to strategy. Their forces were withdrawnthat is, they were appar-ently withdrawn. De Eemer sheathed his sword. He made a unconditional surrender that is, an apparent surrender. In reality he had simply put his bloodthirsty legion In ambush. Calm peace and tranquility had unexpectedly settled over a hori-eo- n that augured blood and war. From this there was another sudden depart-ure. Bat Masterson was "taken by urprise"(?) His enemies gave it out that he was surprised with a purse that contained several thousand dollars. He and his hosts, at all events, evacuated the gorge and DeRemer took possession . The Santa Fe was frenzied. Master-io- n was deposed and another leader put In his stead. Then the clouds burst their growling cerements and war be-gan its riotous reign. There was a chapter of fatal engagements. Many a fighter who was paid at a premium bit the dust. The Rio Grande, however, held the mouth of the gorge. Fierce volleys from tho Santa Fe failed to dislodge them. In the meantime they were chiseling their way to the camp of Carbonates the prize' for which all were reaching. Un-able to drive out the enemy with their Winchesters, the Santa Fe revised their tactics. They, too, withdrew their forces. The desolating contents of the rifle were removed. That is, the enemy was given to understand that they were ' removed. They were not to be caught napping, however, and guards were . kept constantly at the mouth of the gorge: White Winged peace again de-scended. Thev sentinels occasionally discharged their weapons to cut holes : in the midnight air. They probably wanted the .company to think they were " earning their wages. The Santa Fe people were now on a flank movement. They had been . enabled to-- "surprise" De Remer either with gold or lead and they deter-mined to crush him and his men with one blow. The rugged and stupendous .walls were mounted and the Santa Fe tigers began their deadly work. Into the snow-cla- d walls they began to bury their boxes of giant powder. The work of destruction had begun and went on with unblushing "teal. The doom of that Tlio Grande army that slumbered in the gorge below was sealed. It was. to be a valley of death. The hour to fire was fixed for midnight. ' It was the determination to entomb every one of them in an avalanche of rock. The peaks were now cocked and primed. At the hour- - to lire a report that shook the range from base to summit was heard. The peaks quivered and crumb-ling went over with a mighty howl into the gulf below. The awful sound will thunder through all ages to come. Instead of wholesale death, however, there was diversion. De Remer only chuckled. J'ate bad saved him. A few hours before camp had been moved. It was beyond the range of the ava-lanche. Not a man was more than slightly injured. Some of them were 8cared out cf their growth and ten years of life. That was cheap tribute to fate that had saved them all from the grave. Then the fight between the Rio Grande and the Santa Fe waged until they went into the courts. Then came an unavoidable season of peace and not since have they done more than snarL The capture of the Mid-land by the Santa Fe, however, has again brought them face to face and in the struggle tor Utah business some interesting episodes may be lr.oked for.

The attention of Marshal Young was recently called to a ;ase that possesses all the glamour of stage romance and melodrama. A young Dutchman wiih more assurance than wits came down from Park City with several hundred dollars in his inside pocket. lie was on his road to the hymeneal alter and a thousand passions were beating wildly against his bosom. Ho had often heard of the allurements of the faro table, hud listened to the legends of the imaginary winner, and on his arrival in Zion de-termined to give the goddess a trial. He experienced no dilliculty in finding a way to the lurid chambers of chance and sat himself at her tickle shrine. Turn came and went. So did the Dutchman's ducats until he finally rose a bankrupt man. He had started on his way to Chicago where a young girl had consented to become his bride. The ceremony was to have been performed on Wednesday, and all preparations for the, soul-stirrin- g event were in progress. He was uow "a busted community." and appealed to the authorities lor the recovery of his money. This the game declined to dis-gorge. Tho funds had been fairly won and deposited. "Give me enough money to buy ticket to Chicago," , wailed tho Dutch-man. The plea was taken under considera-tion, and as the dealer looked forward to that bridal veil something gouged at his heart and the money was forth-coming. The Dutchman has gone, lie did not go to Chicago to claim the hand that had promised to comfort his life, but went back to the mines, in whose sepulchral depths he is drilling for an-other stuko. He has been taught a severe lesson, and will novor again be divorced by dame chunco. UTAH'S AbMD LANDS. Hon. Fred T. Dubois Favors Turning Over the Arid Land to the State. OF. A EEMABKABLE FAMILY. Idaho's Next Senator Talks to a Times Reporter His Brother the First "Lincoln" Baby. One of the most remarkable men in the western country is Hon, Fred I. Dubois, to congress from Idaho. He is young, scarcely 87, straight as an arrow and greatly resem-bles Harry McCallura in height, form and feature. He does not affect great-ness and one is apt to put him down as a man of average ability, but a glance over his public career at once stamps him as one of the most successful men of his time. A man who can secure a seat in the United States seuat at the age of thirty-seve- u without being the possessor of a large fortune, and without asking for it, is no ordi-nary person. The nomination comes as a spontaneous recognition of extraordinary service to his state and the nation. At a time when the scheme of segre-gation was popular in Idaha and both the republican and democratic parties made it a part of their platforms, thus favoring the annexation of the north-ern part of the territory to the stats of Washington Duboise almost single handed, opposed it. The segregation scheme was popular with peo-ple of the northern part of the territory as they were in direct rairload communication with the capital of Washington and their rivers llowed west, while Boise City was 200 miles to the south and had to be reached over a wild and mountain-ous country sparsely inhabited. To catch the votes of the Pan Handle district the congressional conventions of '82 and '84 favored segregation. In 1886 the democratic candidate ran on a platform favoring a division of the ter-ritory, but Fred T. Dubois refused to be a party to the division and openly opposed it. His own party expected defeat, but his radical position on the Mormon question drew enough demo-cratic votes to his aid to se-cure his election. During the short session the old delegate rushed a bill through both houses of congress annexing Northern Idaho, just prior to adjournment. And the seggre-gatio- n of the territory was only pre-vented by the presideut neglecting to sign the bill. Tho legislation he se-cured disfranchising the Mormons and the admission of Idaho as a state is recent enough to be familiar to all. He has Just returned from a visit to Washington and his old home at Spring-field, Illinois. His father, Jessie L. Dubois, was an intimato friend of Abra-ham Lincoln and nominatod him for the presidency in a speech that is part of t he history of that memorable campaign. When Lincoln was unknown to fame Jessie Dubous named his first son "Lincoln" and after "Old Abe" became the great War president he used to joke the elder Dubois at naming his son after an obscure lawyer. Y lien Fred Dubois was east he met Robert Lincoln who told him that "it was never clear to my father whether your father was the first to uso tho name or a farmer who named his bull calf 'Lincoln.'" However as to this, Lincoln Dubois is today one of the ablest advisers of his party in Illinois, and what is peculiar in these times, will accept no public office at the hands of his party. Fred Dubois grew up in an atmos-phere where he was accustomed to meet great men, and like the late Koscoe Conklin he never goes back on a friend, and will stand by him whether right or wrong. Ho is also a sagacious politician and his judgment of state and national politics is not only recog-nized in the west, but at Washington, and President Harrison appreciating his accurate judgment asked his advice as to calling an sxtra session of con-gress. And it is betraying no state secret to say that Mr. Dubois emphatic-ally opposed it, and this at a time be-fore the country spoke on the question. Mr. I) n bo is is now making a serious study of the irrigation question and he will no doubt master it as thoroughly as he did the lead problem when he surprised the country by his clear views and conclusive arguments. To a Times reporter he said: "I have on many former occasions advocated the national government turning over the arid lands to the state. Wo have iu Idaho 13,000,000 acres of arid land, only a million acres of which is reclaimed. If the state controlled the same it could devise schemes for its reclamation It could deal directly with capitalists who would put forward great projects of ir-rigation and provide means by which settlers would be guaranteed water privileges with the land." "Would you favor a like scheme for Utah?" asked the reporter. "The condition here is different. The government could not very well make the grant to a territory, as it would be simply converting it to itself. And again, there would be the question of the Mormons controlling this vast en-terprise. No, I have not studied the auestion in relation to the existing Utah thoroughly enongh to arrive at a practical solution of the sub-ject. I understand that you have re-claimed but one fourth of the arid lands that you have water to irrigate." ABO CTJIONDUHAS. Graphio Account of Her Location, Cli-mate, Soil and Pro-ductions.

By reason of its goographicat location, healthful inexhaustible resources in both tho vegetable and mineral kingdom, Its great capacity for agriculture and manufactures of every kind, Honduras is mora nearly connected with our own great republio than any of the Central American stales. Situated between the 13th and 16th parallels of north latitude, It extends i!00 miles north and south and 400 east and west, from tho Gulf of Mex-ico to the Paeilio, and presents tho un-usual advantage of a good harbor on both.

The pres-ent population of Honduras is les than 4O0.00O. composed of a healthy, strong and intelligent race, honest. law abiding and hospitable. The church and state are entirely separated; the public school system extends to every settlement and primary instruction is obligatory.

But if F.uglishmen build the railroads, and plant l!ng!lh colonists along them, and get a foothold in th country, the supremacy of the United States will soon boat au end. The Kngllsli are persistent and ener-getic and while a little behind on im-provements and Invention they do not think so. That people fear and respect an Kngllshman on account of hi guv eminent, and the consideration which an American receive is largely on ac-count of the reputation the son of the "(rent Yankee Nation" hava earned for personal courage. Th ting of Great Britain Is never insulted without imme-diate redren (the Justice of tho case I enquired into afterwards, If at all), whereas If the Amer-ican flag is insulted, nothing is done promptly and seldom at all or if so, only at th end of a protracted and unprofitable Investigation, France, Spain, and even little Belgium are far ahead of in in the character of their consular representatives, mint of them being gentlemen and men of ability. To take the lead In that country we must do a tha nation of F.tiropo have been doing, and do It quicker com-mence by a systematic and Judicious colonization, after location are made In such place as will altord the great-est conveniences, similar In character to those the colonist may havo been ac-customed to iu our own country. The colonist should be of the best class of our ngrleulturaliats, with means enough to buy hi land, make hi farm and sus-tain himself fur at least one year, and iu all the preliminary nrraugnment should be guided by soma honest and romieten person acquainted with that regl in. Our capitalist ahnuid build rail-roads, construct telegraph and do all things tinsalble to make the life of the pioneer an easy and profitable one, while our manufacturer should ascertain what these people want, produce tha clas of od re-quired and push their prodiirt Into that market. But above all and beyond ail our government should make our flag resiiectnd even if it is necessary to buy and annex the whole country. Wa learn that already steps are being taken by a company under the manage-ment of K. W. Ferry of I'uicngo, look-ing to the colonization of a large grant In the northern portion of Honduras, and embracing a Una tract of land. The must desirable character of men are being enlisted in the enterprise and there Is no reason why it should not prove a success and be a stimulus to other ventures of a similar character.

ANOTHER EFFORT TO JOIN ISSUES WITH THE UTAH METROPOLIS- - The Pnbllo-Splrlte- d Capitalists of San Diego Offer a Half Million For a Link That Will Connect It; With Zion. Col. Geo. N. Nolan, one of that spir-ited constellation who have been work-ing for the prosperity of Southern Cal-ifornia, was in the city this morning and resumed his voyage to Chicago, whither he goes as assistant manager of the southern California exhibit at the Wor'd's Fair. Colonel Nolan is essen-tially a frontiersman. He was among the first to detect tho native grandeur of Kansas City and among the fore-most to expound it. He saw it in its cradle and was present when it reached its ripo maturity. He then sought southern California and located at San Diego, a thriving little metropolis which is now struggling with a half dozen ri-vals for supremacy. For a long time the financial stars of San Diego have been striving to effect a connection with Salt Lake City. They knew that "money talked," that the eloquence, or lbglo of no silver-tongue- d orator was more powerful and the result was that a half million dollars subsidy was ten-dered any road that would construct the coveted link by which the n metropolis and the orange groves of the south should be mated. Of this body which was known as the railroad extension committee, Colonel Nolan was made secretary. He at once began to interview the various trans-continental bodies who might recoe- - nize a valuable feeder in that country but while they have had the tender under serious consideration no definite step has been taken. President Tiernon of the Southern Pacific has been one of the most active in looking into the mat-ter but cites financial complications in the cast as a reason for not having accepted the muuificent propo-sition. The country that this ex-tension must traverse is a chap-ter of substantial resources. It embraces fruit, to the wealth of whose product there is no limit. In the San Bernardino range are metals of every variety, while Salt Creek pass offers itself to a splendid industry. From suoh a consummation there is scarce telling how much Utah would derive. It would open a line that is 470 miles nearer the gulf than San Fran-cisco. Colonel Nolan is very enthusi-astic in his support of the project, and states that the half million still awaits acceptance from some one of the trans-continental carriers. He left for Chicago this morning, in company with his son George, where he will remain until Southern California has received its share of the boom at the world's fair.
