THE MAYOR.
Mayor kaliOch was attending to his duties at
the city hall to-day. He voluntarily stated
that he deeply deplored the turn matters had
taken, and so did the family. He
thought that within thirty days, when
the excitement had subsided, however much
the tragedy was to be regretted. the city at
large would be more peaceful and less agitated.
With regard to the report of his having been
down town on the night of the shooting, both
ne and his son deny the rumor a. being mali
clous and absurd. The mayor and Mrs. Kalloch
were out driving all day last Friday with
friends. and returned homo at CT. N. The
mayor felt weary and laid down on the bed in
his own room to rest. he was called for dinner
At o'clock, but not feeling we'll undressed and
went to bed. He fell asleep shortly after going
to bed, but was aroused about 10 o'clock and
informed that his son had killed Chas. De
Young.
THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
Regarding the rumor of conspiracy being
carried on at the house where bis colorcd serv-
ant lodged, the mayor said that he had visit
ed his servant almost every day while he was
sick, and so had his son, and that there y as not
the slightest foundation for the charge of con.
splracy. The mayor stated, also, that he had
no further speech to make. The
MAN WHO TRIED TO AssAss1NATE HIM
is no more. Although he met his death from
= source that was of course to him most deplor-
able, he should continue to fulfill the duties of
chief magistrate of the city to
the best of his ability. Tho working
men have placed guard Of
twenty-five men taken from their militia on
duty at Mayor Kalloch's house to prevent the
intrusion of undesirable parties, who they
think might be induced to some desperate act.

there was danger OF the floor giving away

part Of the building, and called out to persons
near him to leave the gallery as quickly as
possib e. His manner OF speaking caused

Leadville's Happy Man.

There is one happy man in Leadville
to-day. The first of the week he came
into town, ragged, dirty and penniless,
aged some way to get liquor, however,
and not feeling in the best of humor, in
a TT of desperation he went on big
drunk. He consequently got arrested
and was fined as drunk and disorderly
Sl5 and costs. Having no money to pay
the fine and was sent to the city Jail,
and thence to the chain-gang to work it
out on the streets of Leadville. He had
served part of his time when he received
call from party of capitalists from
the Charleston hotel. a claim in which
he owned an interest had struck it rich,
and these gentlemen had called TO offer
him the sum of $4,000 for his share.
1t is needless to say that the offer was
accepted. He signed the papers, already
prepared, then and there, received the
money, paid his fine, visited the bath
house and clothing store, and slept that
night at the Clarendon. The next morn
ing, clothed and in his right mind, he
ordered a carriage, visited the scene of
his late humiliation, and paid the fines
of his former companions in misery and
sent them on their way rejoicing. He is
happy and SO are the capitalists, as they
think they struck splendid bargain,
but this fact does not yet disturb the
serenity of the man who has come up
out of the depts and leaped, as it were,
in the twinkle of an eye from the chain
gang and perjury to competency for all
time to come. "Truth," in Leadville,
is often times stranger than fiction"
