during tho pnst two years over one
million two hundred thousand bottles
Of St. Jacobs Oil were sold in this Sec

all other similar remedies during that

The Cottonwood Springs hotel, To-
Gated about six miles from Buena Vista, was

A four-year-old son of Michael Flynn,
living in Spring .gulch, near Central, was
drowned in the well Sunday afternoon. The
child with another was playing at the well
when Mr.. Flynn's little boy fell in. The alarm
was given at once, and within few minutes,
less. Death was probably as much due to the
fall as to the water, as the head and body was
much bruised. The fall was about eighteen
feet, in four feet Of water. The funeral took
place Monday.
A correspondent of the Pueblo
| Chieftain says: can attempt has recently
been made to compromise the heavy water
bond debt Of Silver Cliff with Rollins & Young,
Of Denver, who are agents for the Eastern
holders Of the debt. They are memorable and

what might have been expected. Everybody
who expects to stay here is securing lots Of

There was another terrific dynamite
explosion in Denver on the morning Of the
16th,1 by which two railway coaches were
blown up and one man dangerously wounded.
The dynamite or giant powder had been placed
on the frog plate with the evident intention Of
wrecking the engine of the Leadville train
which was soon to pull out, but an extra train
which had just been made up at the shops was
backing into the depot and received the dam
age. The dastardly deed is attributed to some
Of the strikers, although no arrests have been
made. The city Is thoroughly aroused, and II
the tiends are caught, they stand good show

CLEVELAND, Ohio July 15.-The an
ticipated collision between the strikers and the
police occurred this afternoon. At O'Clock
ameeting was held in Newburg and several re-
porters who entered were savagely thrown out.
After the meeting 100 men, who were mostly
Poles and Bohemians, formed into line and
marched to the plate mill which WAS in opers-
tion. The men in the plate mill are not affect
ed by the reduction and they were opposed to
stot ping work in the first place, but they were
forced out finally by the foreigners and
remained idle until yesterday, when the mill
resumed operations.
The mob increased In numbers as II pro-
gressed, and when 1t arrived at the mill, It az
gregated at least 1000 men. The strikers were
armed with clubs studded with nails, pieces OF
iron, and large stones. The fifty policemen
who were on duty were supplied with maces,
twenty-five inches long, and self-acting re-
volvers. Thirty-four additional policemen were
scattered in the mill At As p. m, the pa
trolmen were ordered home to rest, prepara-
tory to going on duty tonight. They started
down Ktna street and met the strikers,
when they turned, and double-quieked to the
mill. They were hooted and stoned by the
strikers.
Deputy Superintendent Mcmahon gave the
order to fall in, and line was formed about
thirty feet from the mill gate. The mob ap-
preached and Mcmahon asked what was
wanted. One of the leaders replied that they
were determined to close the mill. The po-

thorwostones. There was considerable hard
talk, push forward, and then = rush. The
police advanced and the two forces met. The
strikers threw stones, slag and cinders, and
fourished their clubs.
The policemen used their maecs and drove
the strikers back, inch by inch. The strikers
fell by the score or rccled away, with blood
streaming down their faces. They poured 4
terrific thower Of stones, however, into the po-
lice, but they could not use their clubs 10 any
advantage. Finally they fell back very rapid
ly and the police seeirg their opportunity,
charged on = run, yelling rs they went, and
the whnck Of their mAees could be heard for a
long distance. The fallen strikers lined yE,na

ASPEN, July i5.-When the District
court convened this morning Messrs White,
Taylor, Reed and Hughes, attorneys for Du-
rant, gave way to C.-E. Parsons to make an
other argument for the Emma and Aspen. He
made a speech Of AMI hour, and while 1t was
an able effort did not seem to effect anything
beyond what had been said the day before.
Hon. e. j. Hughes. Of Denver, then made the
argument for the Durant. 1t was the most
brilliant effort ever made before any court in
this section Of Colorado, and 1t was SO conced-
ed by the attorneys upon the other side. He
concluded at IL m. when the court took a
recess till $3.50. 30 great and intensified was
the interest manifested when Judge Goddard
hundreds could not enter.
Judge Goddard, after reviewing in a short
and concise way the claim made by the plain
tiff and the denial thereof by defendant, took
up the argument Of the counsel, and as the
court understood the whole matter from the
evidence and plats Of the ground in contro-
versy, he felt that It was hard task to decide.
He did not wish to stop the business growth or
Aspen. It had sprung into existence from
these mines, and its future prosperity depend
ed upon their workings and product. He did
not believe that the appointmnt Of a receiver
would cause the properties to cease working,
as they had not done 80 pending the suit. He
said he would not issue any injunction as to
the Emma, as the working had not come into
conflict. He should dismiss the application
for a receiver on that property.
Judge Goddard then made remarks upon the
law governing the following Of dips and m.
giles beyond side lines, as there was contro-
versy upon this point by the claimants OF both
properties. He considered 1t to be competent
for juries to decide and not the court. II was
not his intention to render decision that
would work hardship to any one, but he felt
that he could not do otherwise than to dismiss
the suit to about fifteen feet Of the Aspen
ground from the north end line Of the Duran.
end in which was the machinery and shaft Of
the Aspen. For the remainder Of the Aspen,
over fourteen hundred feet, he would appoint
q receiver who should have the right to use the
aforesaid shaft and machinery 10 develop and
work the mine by payment therefor. The only
hardship rightful owners could endure would
be to go without the returns and profits Of the
property until the courts to which the case
might go would determine to whom the prop
erty belonged.
As to the temporary injunction which had
been granted in favor Of the Washington
against the incline Of the Durant, 1t should be
dissolved and the owners Of the incline al
lowed to follow the vein on Its downward dip
until prevented by some order Of some court.
Court adjourned till tomorrow morning,
when a receiver will be appointed. There is q
great reversion Of feeling here since Goddard's
decision, and he has made many friends for
the apex question. Some talk Of threats are
made that the receiver will not be allowed in
the Aspen shaft or TO use the machinery.

A Great Doctor Fooled.

DR.. Haufe, the celebrated physician
of Vienna, one day received telegram
from Cracow requesting him to repair
thither with all haste, as Moses Abra-
hanson was very i'll and required ad-
vice. This Moses was known to be one
of the richest men of his tribe. The
doctor, who had an enormous practice
and was very busy at the time, wired
back: "My fee will be two thousand
FORMS" A second dispatch urged him
to come with out delay, but added that
he might surely do it for less. "Not a
kreutzer less than two Thousand forms, +"
was the reply from Vienna, whereupon
p final telegram came to hand directing
the physician to start at once. It was
in the depth Of winter, and bitterly
cold, so that our medical man was any
thing but pleased at the prospect of the
long journey. But what was his
disgust on being met at the
Cracow railway station by a
deputation of long coated Polish
Jews, bringing the tielngs that he
came too late, as Moses Abrahamson
had died a few hours before. AS there
was no train back to Vienna that day,
he was perforcs compelled TO put up for
the night at q hotel. Meanwhile the
news Of the great doctors arrival had
spread through the town, and sick
people of every description, both Jews
and Christians, besieged his door. So
many afflicted persons touched his com
passionate heart, and he freely gave
them the advice they needed. When,
at last, he got to the station, and was
about to step into the carriage: a Polish
Jew came siding up to him with. a
knowing smile on his face, and wills
pered in his ear: II say, doctor, I only
wanted to tell you that Moses Abra-
hanson isn't dead; not bit of it.; he
was among those patients whom you
cured for nothing" ..~
