Immediately for Denver City. Tho disguised
handwriting proved TO be the postmaster's, and
the father charging him with the deed, he confess

bands and wives, parents and children, friends and
acquaintance, met at the mines, or were confront
ed by tho returning trains, all OF whom had been
.deluded by these fraudulent and criminal misrcp
reservations.
A we'll known contractor, resident at St. Joseph,
is also reported to have been shot by some infuri-

A large number Of those who have returned did
not reach the mines being dishear,ened by the
reports Of those whom they met returning, they
