1T is a cruel thing to work horse
that has neck worn raw his a badly

have been comparatively idle during

cared for at once. prove of long stand

is better to do this even If important

A sad incident connected with the
death of MI. Frankenburg is related
by the Deadwood Enterprise, which
says that he was only twenty-five years
Of age, and had not been in the Hills
quite a year. He was the only child of
a widowed mother, who, Immediately
on reading the news of the affair, tele-
graphed from Chicago to know if it
was her boy that was hurt, and ex-
pressing a determination to come to
the Hills Immediately If the answer
was affirmative. Frankenburg, not
dreaming that he was seriously hurt,
and wishing to spare the dear mothers
feelings, to relieve her anxiety, request
ed the answer to be that it was another
man by the same, name. What must
have been her agony on receiving the
news of his death yesterday, compiled
with a request for instructions as to
the disposal Of the remains. Late last
evening word was received at Lead to
forward the remains to Chicago, which
will be done. Frankenburg, it WILL be
remembered, died from the effects of
wounds received a short time since
during a controversy concerning the
ownership of the Homestake mine.

MURDERED.
s,champasns Fritz formerly Of Cheyenne
Meets Death by Violence al IeadviIie.

The startling intelligence was re-
ceived in this city yesterday of the
brutal murder of Fritz Freeman at
Leadville, the new mining camp in
Colorado. Mr.. Freeman had MANY
friends in this city and was known
quite generally by the cognomen of
champagne Fritz He resided here
quite a number of years and followed
the occupation of a butcher. He was
50 employed by Mayor Bresnahen, d.
Ullman, the late firm of Helphenstine
& Durbin, and by one or two other
firms. Nearly a year since he pulled
up stakes and removed to the San Juan
country, in southwestern Colorado, but
was unsuccessful in his business trans
actions there. 3GT
When the Leadville excitement broke
ou he at once emigrated to that sec
ton and engaged in mining pursuits.
Meeting with splendid success he found
himself the half owner of a mine, of
which interest he disposed to an east

Fritz could not bear prosperity without
indulging in spirituous liquors. Some

and marked him for their victim. lie
was inveigled into one of the dens of
the town n night and his dead body
was found in one Of the rooms tie next
morning. As no marks of violence
were found upon his person 1t is pre-
sumed that poison was put into his
liquor by the men who connived at his
death. Fritz came from Germany
about twelve years ago, first locating
in Omaha. He and his wife lived un.
happily together which resulted in her
securing a divorce, she keeping the
children. They reside in Cheyenne at
the present time.
