REcE and PlUpERl

There is an ex.bonan1. prince in The
City jail,who Has our Nea 4 romantic his:
tory, His name.is Mike Welch. He
is naiddle-aged man, and, no,wi,h.
standing his Celtic name, he spe,ks
brokenly like a German. His last
arrest was the third time ne has been
arrested in the last few months, and
ne has finally ,allen to the level OF
all ouscast and vagrant Of the lowest
type.
A year ago Welch was a rich nan.
He owned a large interest in the
Mountain Lion mine at L.adville.
which was sold fors4oo, 600 He was
interested in other mines to large
extent, and realized immense sums of
money in his career in the Carbonate
camp.
His p.'acely expenditures OF money
are still famous there. He associated
with such men as Pete Finnerty and
other mining princes, and held up his
end OF many revel for which the
camp was noted, ard spent thousands
of dollars monthly in wine and women.
He spent enough money in the boxes
of he Grand Central to start upa hun.
dred young couples il housekeeping
and was big blood. But reyerses
came and Welch rapidly declined.
He lost the great part of his money in
speculation, and finally started twc
restaurants, Business fell away and
about year ago he found himself q
ruined man. He then came to Den.
yer, and has since then fallen lower
and lower, until he finds himself in
inc lily JAN Tor the third time IN two
months.
He was brought in the other day sd
covered with vermin and filth that
JJallor Murphy forced him into bath
o! lye and water, after stripping him
naked and throwing his clStkess away.
After the bath poor Welch was wrap:
ped in blankets and placed in the bull
pen awaiting change OF clothing.
In this condition a reporter saw him
and tried to converse with him, bu,
the miserable man was too stupid with
disease and drink to converse ntelli.
gently. From Bonanza Prince to va-
grant in one year is strange history,
but the Far West is strange cota,ry.

Whittier Are We Drifting?

People who were at the train
on Tuesday evening noticed a
young man who wore a look of
chastened joy and his hair long.
His hair was his chief attrac ton,
hanging down his back in wavy
ringlets and tied with a piece of
pale blue ribbon. AT first the
City Marshal was going to arrest
him for wearing mems clothes,
but pretty soon it was discovered
that it wore a slight moustache
that looked like the fluff on a q.
G. M. [. peach. This young man
was bound for Idaho, where he
is a mining expert and territorial
masher.
When mining expert gets to
doing his hair up with a blue
ribbon, the wild romance of our
mighty west is played out. If
the time has arrived when Indi-
an fighters, trappers, guides and
miners wear cOrsets and drink
chocolate, the joy of the free and
fearless frontier is a thing of the
past. Somehow we hope that
this man was a fraud and that
the characteristic rustler of the
Rocky Mountains is not going to
travel over the plains with an
embroide red night shirt and a
fresh lawn tie for every day in
the week. Once, the plainsman
rode all day on the lookout for
indians and at night picketed

if the Indians would let him.
Now times have changed, ii
seems. The soft-eyed seraph
fresh from the New Englsnd

and camphor ice and goes where
glory waits him. It is death to

to become a guide and win glory
is a wealth of hair and a gold
mounted revolver. If this thing
continues, the old 'squaw man
will eventually enter the camp Of

cadet blue coat cut so high in the
tail that it won't be safe for him

the man whose regular beverage
was strychnine and alkali water
has disappeared almost from the

we have to wear glasses and
