A RACE FOR LIFE.
Thrilling Scene Enacted ON the Plains o,
Colorado.

DENVER, March 19th.-A race for life at.
tracted the attention OF ranchmen near
Denver yesterday, when A. T. Starkworth
attempted TO murder a rauchmen named
Ellis Norton. The two men had previously
had some misunderstanding which engen-
dered bad feelings. They lived near each
other and met frequently, but no trouble OF
serious nature was anticipated by the
friends Of either party.
Early in the morning Norton hitched his
team to wagon and was driving le;surely
on TO Denver, when he heard farm wagon
rapidly approaching from behind. He
looked, and thinking the noise was caused
by some ranchman, paid no attention until
the team. which was fast overhauling him
was within one hundred yards.
Then it flashed through his mind that il
was the intention of Starkworth to meet
him Oh the plains, and not being armed
he whipped mp bis horses to the utmost
speed. His pursuer called upon him to
stop, which warning was not needed
An instant later shot was fired and the
bullet whizzed alongside his head. This
emphatic mint spurred him to redoubled
efforts. Norton applied his whip vigor
ously. Pursued and pursuer raced 70,
nearly mile, when Stark worth fred a
second shot. Gradually Norton's team
drew from his enemy and dashed into town
at fearful rate, running over dogs and
everything that chanced to be in the Wav,
When he sighted policeman he stopped
his horses, explained the circumstances to
him, and about twenty-five minutes later
he saw Starkworth driving swiftly down
the street and placed him under arrest.

two anti-debris spies visited Downieyille.
Their reception was not as courteous as
usual. As soon as night closed vast crowd
collected with tin cans and other noisy i'm

longer.
The spies have been coming here for
years, and they have succeeded in stirring
up strong feeling against them.
The indignation against them is running
high, and miners who are out of work on
account of the stopping of the mines are
getting desperate, and an effort will proba.

to challenge the conduct of the Govern

public at the service of the Times, in con-

TROUBLED BANKS.
The Financial Upheavai in Paris-Condi-
tion of the Banks

btou uI the BANKS.
PARIS, March 19th.-A pessimist feeling
prevailed to-day regarding the position Of
credit houses, especially of the Banoue
d'Paris, which is much discussed. 1t is re-
ported that the bank is deeply involved in
the copper trouble, and is not expected to
pay dividend for the past year. More.
over, it is stated that the Directors con-
cerned announced at the bankers meeting
last evening that they were unable to sub.
scribe for the relief of the Compton d. Es-
compte, having themselves lent 81 600 0OO
francs on copper warrants.
The decline in Societe des Metaux shares
is attributable to the fact that the concern
had definitely suspended payment and op-
eraticn. Nevertheless, there was a large
amount of buying and repurchasing in the
copper mine market to-day, the demand
for Rio Tinto being especially strong.
The local branch OF the Compton d'Es-
compte still continues business, notwith-
standing the collapse of the parent house in
Paris.
