RUMORS AND RUMORS.

There were rumorS and rumoTS yeSter-
day regarding the lynohing of the rapisu
Men stood upon the streets and talked of
the matter; everybody condemned in the
strongest and most bitter terms the
da-tardly deed and all appeared to have q
strong inclination to get hold of rope at
one end of which dangled the william. Yet
there appeared to be no concerted action of
any kind. 1t was stated that at the car
works there was a mob of 600 who were
coming down to take him out and hang
him; another report said that at the stock
yards there was gang of two hundred.
Yet neither of these bodies appeared to
materialize.
Sheriff Hays had nevertheless taken the
necessary precaution to prevent his pris-
oner being taken from him. He had some
Winchesters which he could call into
requisition, but this was not the officials
intention unless he was first fired upon by
the mob. The cells were all prepared and
Maloney was put in the most secure. 1t
would have been impossible for men to
have cut through the outer doors and got
ten into the cell of the criminal even if
they had taken the whole night
TO the job. Besides the gas
had all been turned off and darkness thus
being so dense it would have been very
difficult matter for the mob to have found
their man without bringing many lanterns
of their own. There was too, power for
repelling that perhaps a mob would not
have thought Of Opposite to the main
entrance is three inch nozzle which with
a strong power of water behind it would
have come very near to sweep away every
thing movable that might come before it.
1t was reported last night that Maloney
was about 10 confess the crime, plead
guilty, receive sentence and get out of
town as quickly as possible. There is
something about this atmosphere that
does not agree well with him. He knows
full well the feeling against him, and is
said yesterday TO have told an officer that
he did not care if they did hang him so
that they would give him one-half hour

GOD IN NATURE.

Last evening at the Central Christian
church DR.. A. l. Hobbs, former pastor of
this church, but now pastor of the Denver
church, delivered his lecture entitled God
in Nature" There was a good audience in
attendance and the doctor held their undi-
vided attention to the close. The lecture
was a Succession of logical thoughts with
an occasional vein of humor, but all con-
vincing that there is GOD in Nature. "
Man copies from nature but cannot equal
it. The lens of the microscope is not as
perfect in its construction as the lens of
the eye. Where is any piece of machinery
more perfect than the ball and socket
Joint? There must be more intelligent
mind than mans to form the atoms into
crystals and fswers. Mans mind partially
controls matter but no mind but Gods has
perfect control over it. Space will not per-
NIT the mention of the many interesting
comparisons, but suffice it TO say those
who heard the lecture were we'll repaid.

Mrs Catharine Fuller, arrested by Of
fcer Woods in a call yesterday, assured us
that she don't believe that she pulled the
trigger of the revolver at all when he
winked at her, although she felt outraged,
as she says she is a christian woman, II
member of the church and her entire trust
is in God and her virtue. She further says
she is not insane, and that her boy-which
is in fact not her boy but one left as a
baby in place of the boy to which she gave
birth, because she was stolen child her
self, and an immense estate is pending to
which she is the sole heir, wherefore these
prosecutions are but prosecutions to de-
fraud her out of her rights-was not the
guilty party at all, and his name is not
John Doe, as the warrant read. She was
an orphan, by name Catharine Fuller,
raised by John Madden in Illinois, and her
husband is blacksmith good and true,
and being in delicate health she feels out
ragged, not only over the arrest but over
the court reporters account of the same,
fer all of which due apology is hereby
made, except as to the police commission.
