We are having lively times around here
at present. On Saturday last, at Lead
vile. Chas. E. Blackwell, of Alabpma, shot
and fatally wounded officers John Carville
and Stewart, both Of whom have since
died from the injuries received at the
hands Of Blackwell. 1t seems that Mr..
Gus Manville, merchant OF Leadville,
was indebted TO Blackwell in the sum Of
seventy.one dollars, money due him for
work done on mining property, in which
Mr.. ManviIle was interested. He was
tlourishing revolver around much to the
discontinue OF those present, and had
given MAnville aspecitied time in which
10 pay the money, when the officers ap-
peared upon the scene and met their
death as above. His plea is emotional in
sanity, but this will not save him as the
people are determined that he shall be
hung, II not By law, then by lynching,
which will serve their purpose equally as
well. Cicero Sims, was hung AZ Fairplay,
one day this week, for the murder OF q
Mr. johnson at Alma, last fall. He was
generally considered bad character, and
it is good radiance to the people OF Col
orado. Mr.. A. W. Skinner,a member OF the
Board OF Trade at Leadville, barely es-
capped being suspended at Robinson's camp
on Thursday last. He IL mAnager OF the
Alps combination on Sheep mountain, and
came out here from Leadvilie without the
requisite amount to pay of the hands. A
rope was procured, and he was saved,
only by the intercession OF Mr.. Brown, OF
the Robinson company, who paid of the
hands, and relieved Mr.. Skinner from his
embarrassing position.
On Thursday morning last, Charley Nor
ton, rough character from Carbonate
vile, made himself very conspicuous in
iistuTbapceat keisteE's saloon at kok0mo.
Ex. Marshall Michael 0'Neil was called in,
and requested the men to keep quiet,
Norton drew his revolver, and without
any proyocation whatever, shot the po-
licemau through the abdomen, killing him
almost Instantly. Norton then fled, but
was shortly afterwards captured and
lodged in jail, but he was not destined to
stay there long, the mSb broke open the
jail, and in q few moments he was ushered
into eternity. Before he was hung, Nor
ton confessed thst he had killed three
men before, and said he deserved hanging
for each one OF them.
Henry Morris, alias Hirsch, was arrested
at Colorado Springs, last week, by the
Pinkerton Detective Agency for swindling
number OF Chicago dry goods houses out
Of large amounts. Field, Letter 4 Co. and
o. K. Keith & Co. being the heaviest
losers. The detectives deserve special
credit for the working Up OF this case, as
he is an old offender, and has long been
wanted, having thus far escaped the
clutches OF the law. Doubtless he was on
his ysy 10 Leadville, where they all come.
This country is infested with all the re-
fuse OF The East, who have been frightened
from there by spontaneous hanging.
Such variety OF till.tappers, foot-pads
and gamblers, all OF whom are thieves,
wss never known in one place before.
Right here It seems certain that, unless
positive and radical steps are taken 10 nd
the town OF these vile scoundrels, the
peace Of tie citizens cannot be secured.
There is movement on foot at kOkomo
to clear them out, but so far they only
partially succeeded.
The principal topic Of conversation, has
for once in the annals OF the history Of
LeadyiIle, drifted from that OF mining TO
the coming Of the God OF Battles ar
rived at last. He received brilliant
reception. The party includes Gen. and
Mrs. q. S. Grant, Mrs. Fred Grant and
daughter, DR.. and Mrs. Bell, Gov. Routt,
Gov. and Mrs. Smith, OF Wisconsin, Gov.
Hunt and Judge Amos Steck, OF Denver,
and Yam Adder, Gen. Grants Japanese
valet. Mayor Humphrey, of Leadville,
welcomed Gen. Grant to the Carbonate
Camp in neat little speech. The city
was brilliantly illuminated with chemical
lights, and taking 1t altogether the recep-
ton was grand success -one OF which
the Carbonate Camp may well ieel proud
of.
The Ten Mile district to-day presents
field for capitalists second TO none in the
country in calling attention to the more
lasting and durable quantities OF our
mines, which strip mining OF that unOer.
tainty and place it among the surer and
more legitimate indus ries OF the country.
We challenge competition. As these fea.
lures OF the Ten Mile mines become more
generally realized, We look for marked
increase IN their market value. Capital Is
required here 70 open up 70 the world the
vast treasures Of wealth bid tight and
deep in mother earth, and by nc. other
means can It be reached than BY that Of
capital. A good many promising claims
are laying idle here fer want OF capital to
develop them, as q great many prospectors
have worked up what little capital they
did possess, TO meet the requirements Of
the law in their annual assessment works,
