THE QUESTION OF FEES FOR

officials are wearyiug the public ear with ex'
plantations that are elaborate but not very clear,
The sedse Of their exposition is that 1t has al
ways been customary to take the fees, that the
law while 1t does not say they shall take them
does not explicitly say they shall not, and they
don't get salary enough anyhow. None Ofthem
offer to resign however, Myers says he will me-
morlalize the Legislature about 1t, and II that
does no good be will have them arrested. Alto.
gether 1t Is unpleasant for the officials Ex Chiei
Justice Gilmore says the officials have no right to
the fees, and can not take II EN- legally. As to
the fact tn At they are taken there s no question.
The tax payers Of the slate are aware how much
they are paying their servants because they do
not know the amount Of the fees. There Is a
looseness about the statute that the Legislature
will doubtless remedy this winner 1t will prob
ably fix definite salary for each official and shut
down on the taking Of fees.

A DOCTOR LYNCHED

Denver Col, December 4--The details OF
shocking story have just been received here from
Otero, New Mexico, little town on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, lukt south OF the
Colorado line. DR.. G. A. Washington, Of 0tRro
was called 10 Katon, another small town, on
Tuesday, to treat dining room girl at the Van
dover House, named Mary Butler. He spent the
night in attendance upon her She died Wednes-
day morning, but before dying stated that he had
given her two large doses OF morphine and then
assaulted her while she was only semi'conScious
and unable to resist. The Doctor was arrested,
taken to Otero and locked up but on Thursday
night the Jail was broken into by the mob, who
took Washington out and strangled him. His
record Is most unsavory. He came to Colorado
four years ago and settled al Lsveta and began
business as a druggist, He married young lady
there, but treated her so badly that the citizens
compelled him to leave so hurriedly that he did
not even have time u get his goods away. He
left this wife. and going to Las Animas
took a second wife. He soon deserted her and
went to ElmOre where he married third, With
her he went to 0terO When child was born to
the third wife the child died under circumstances
which led to the circulation OF the report that
Washington had killed 1t. The citizens organ
lied and began an investigation, which so In
furiated him that he, suspecting the woman had
given information against him, beat heI merci'
lessly. She was taken out of his hands and sent
away. Although the belief was general that he
killed the child, proof was not positive and he
was permitted to escape with his lite. Soon afer
this he killed a partner in dispute about BARN
but was cleared OIL the ground Of self defence.
Washington was a man Of good address, and was
at one time, and may have been at the time Of his
violent death, worth some 500 900. 1t is not be.
lleved that Washington is his right name, and 1t
is not known where he comes from.

handsome girl Of about 90 years Of age was or
rested this morning at house,of bad reputation
on charge Of stealing SS5 from the housekeeper.
There are two sides to the affair, and 1t may
prove conspiracy against the the girl. In an
interview this evening Miss Russell said

to cry. II did not lake that woman's money.

which the officer found brought here with me-
1t is all the money had and all that have at
present The officer said told him 1t was In my
trunk; didn't say any such thing. He asked
me If l hao any mo ey in my trunk, and told
him had fifteen dollars, but tidn't say where
