THERE was an alteration on the Denver &

about eleuen miles beyond Thistle station which
resulted in Daniel o Brien being badly shot in
the left side with aIWinchester rifle in the hands
of John Palmer. This man, who did the shoot
ing, claimed that his lection had been taken
away faom him by OF or laborers and while
slightly under the intiU nee of liquor he began
abusing OBrien and .r.ed to use a knife on him;
being prevented in this and his knife taken
away from him, he went after his Winchester.
When he came back he saw O'Brien standing
away, so he followed at him and got him to
STOP when he fired into his left side, fracturing
the hip bone. OBrien was brought to this city
and received at st. Mary hospital last sunday

He last night committed another bold second
floor robbery at the private residence of Mr..
Boyd Park, the jeweler al 46S Main street, of
much the same nature as those committed
lately at the Utah commission Office and at the
residence of Mr.. Decker. The house was en-
tered as early in the exening as O'clock and it
appears the thief simply walked TO one of the
front 0oors while the servant girl was in the
back part of the building. One of the rooms up
stairs entered and gold watch, two gold
rings and two gold thimbles were taken from
small satchel. and purse well filled with candy,
which the thief undoubtedly thought was OF
more value. When this had been secured the
villain slipped out OF the window and ran across
the lot. The servant girl saw dim, and search
was Immediately made and the above-men
toned articles were found missing.
