The Denver Neys of the 4th SAYS:
The beaming silk hat Of Doc Baggs was seen
in the streets yesterday. It wore an extra pol
ish as did the genial phlebotomist himself As
usual on his returns from abroad the doctor
was interviewed. He denied emphatically that
he would run for sheriff, being satisfied
II the sheriff did not run for him. He also de-
MED the reported arrest at North Platte and
explained his absence by stating that he had
been down In New Mexico looking after his
mining interests. He disclaims all connection
with the attempt to bunko Rev. Mr.. Thayer, OF
Massachusetts, and seems to consider It re-
Election upon his judgment to accuse him OF
trying to wiring money out Of New England
temperance lecturer. He considers the charge
that he Ii candidate for sheriff, one Of the
worst made against him for some time. =.
