The Deceased sald 10 be Charles Aiken
Femsriy Of Cheyenne.

On Wednesday, the Denver News
tells us, a man named Charles Aiken
committed suicide in that city byshoot-
ing himself through the head with a
revolver. The particulars Of the sui
eide briefly recounted, are as follows;
J.. D.. Gieson was informed by the de-
ceased that he had just arrived from
Cheyenne, where he was in the employ
OF the United States government, in
what capaci ty he did not state.
Back of the Planters House stable
there is a large vacant lot. Directly in
the rear of the stable an old stump Of a
tree protrudes from the ground, form
ing, with the barn, a sort of mich into
which the man sat himself, and then
drew the revolver and fired. The blood
oozed out from the CHASTITY wound, and
formed in a little pool about the dying
man, who, with the revolver clutched
in his hand and his head resting on his
breast, breathed his last in about five
minutes afterwards. He was slightly
under the influence of liquor at the
time, and just before appeared to be
brooding over some imaginary trouble,
talking to himself, and wandering
about in a listless sort of manner.
The night previous he spoke to Dep
uty Sheriff Smith at the Palace theatre
on Blake street, calling him by name,
although Mr.. Smith did not know him.
He was sober at the time, and asked
whether a friend of his was in the the
atre. Another man, named Buchanan,
had spoken to him previous to the sui
eide, and learned that he was a tele-
graph operator, and that he was well
acquainted with Edison, the inventor,
with whom he had worked in a tele-
graph Office. He added to Buchanan
that he would wait until Edison ar
rived. Col. Ball says the man called at
his office on Tuesday evening and in
quired the fare to Kansas City and
Cheyenne.
Latterly he has been living at Chey-
enne, and it is evident that he came to
this city from that point. No motive
can be assigned for the rash act other
than that the man was out Of work,
and had become crazed with drink. He
wore a dark brown coat, gray panta.
looms, and a blue shirt nearly new; a
SLOUGH black hat and a pair of fine sewed
boots; was a man about five feet eight
inches in height, of heavy build and
square shoulders, and. about thirty
eight years Of age. His complexion
was dark, and he wore a light brown,
heavy mustache and broad goatee. His
head was Of good shape, the hair being
thin on top, disclosing a scar across the
top Of the head.

BIG HAUL.


For two or three nights past the
above named officers have been watch.
ing the movements of. two men seen
prowling around the alleys in the vie
Unity Of Eighteenth and Ransom streets,
but until this morning did not see
enough to warrant them in making
arrests. II was I O'Clock this morning
when Officer Martin again got q
glimpse Of the men whom be resolved
to capture, and he at once hunted up
Policeman Hall, and the two returned
for their game. Hall stationed himself
at n end of the alley and Martin at
the other. They then closed on the
suspicious individuals, drew their re-
volvers and made the men surrender.
When captured, n Of the men, with
feigned surprise, asked 'sWhat is this
for?" The officers did not want to
pariey but marched their game to the
calaboose where they were searched.
Each Of them wore caps but had hats
hid beneath their coats, which were
tightly buttoned. Each had a navy
revolver and q pocket pistol, and they
were also provided with a candles,
bucks and gags for g~arroting purposes.
The fellows are well dressed, and to all
appearances old hands at the business.
Upon the person Of one Of the men was
found the small sum of five cents, the
other n was penniless. The capture
Of these fellows by our vigilant police
officers has undoubtedly nipped in the
bud q series Of robberies and perhaps
prevented loss of life. The arrested
parties will have q hearing to-day.

make their way in the world, s'hard

way from Pennsylvania to this city and

stated that they were unable to make
anything more than a living in the
east, and had determined to strike
west and grow up with the country.
Their reason for walking was because
they had not money enough to pay Their
fare. However, they were not penni.
