A Sad Suicide.

TRINIDAD, Colo, June 25.--Yester-
day the little village of Hoehnc, ten miles
northeast of Trinidad, was thrown into tho
widest excitement over the sorrowful end
ing Of the life OF one Of its fairest young
ladies', Miss Tennie Richardson.
The Richardson family is widely known
and highly respected, and Miss Tcnnic was
especially popular for her amiable DISPOSE
tion. She was ambitious withal and had
been realous student, intending to bo-
come teacher. Her health began to fail
some two years ago. A disease which de-
fed medical treatment seized her. Her
life had grown to be one OF almost contin-
ual weariness. She was good Christian
lady and was loved and cherished by her
many friends and acquaintance.
Miss Richardson left tho family resi-
icncc yesterday and went to house near
by. She entered and closed the door. This
was at o'clock in the afternoon. In q
short time some Of the members of tho
family heard quick, sharp report OF some
thing like board falling, and paid but lit
tie attention to IL.
Half IN hour later Miss Tennic had not
returned, and the family went to the room
she had entered. The door was fastened
on the inside and an entrance could not be
effected. Through window the body OF
Miss Tcnnie was seen In hnlf sitting
post ure, leaning against chair, great
pool Of blood being around her. 1t is need.
less to say that the family was horriaed
and almost distracted upon seeing such n
sight.
Ncighbors were summoned and further
Investigation developed the fact that she
had taken her own lifo by shooting her.
self through the head with q rifle. Tho
wound produced by tho bullet was a
CHASTITY one, and death must have been in.
stantancous.
The bullet entered the forehead and
zane out Mt the crown. Onceye protrudcd
from Its socket and blood issued from tho
wound in great quantities.
The funeral Of the departed young lady
was conducted this afternoon at o'clock
by Rev. Blaclswood. The remains were
iuterred In Ho chne cemetery.

DURANGO IN ASHES.
One Of the Most Destructive Fires in
the History of the State.

A terrific conilagration swept ovcs
the business portion of Durango on July /,
complete wlping out eight blocks and cat
ing into several others. The loss is vari-
ously estimated at from $4,000 TO $780,
900, but the blow to the prosperity of the
town is one ftom which sne -yafi = aicciy

From the Denver Nc,cs we gather tho
following particulars: Tho fire originated
on First Street, near II, and In tho rear of
restaurant and is supposed to be OF inccn-
diary origin. The flames spread with In
credible rapidity and In ten minutes two
blocks Of frame buildings were roaring
mass Of fire. In spite Of the almost super
human efforts Of the iiromcn, tho terrible
flames spread up the hill towards the boulo-
ward, licking up everything in their way.
The court house, three churches and n
dozen or more residences were soon swept
away, the flames being famed by u fearful
west wind that rendered all efforts futile.
1t soon became apparent that unless
heroic efforts were adopted tho city was
doomed and II was resolved TO blow up sew
eral buildings In the track OF tho flames.
This was quickly done, and ut this hour Is
y. M the flames are under control, and no
further danger is npprehcnded.
The loss will be terrific and will proba-

so NEUROLOGICAL, which fact, however,
in no way dctrac,s from the genuine
utility OF the animals.
That the griffin is harml css 10 man
is owing to its purely neurological
nature; wcro it not so there is no way
OF telling the amount OF damage that
might be done by them 10 the sheep
industry. Better is n bulldog In the
yard than n terra Gotta griffin on the
house-top. Tho natural color OF the
griffin is doubtful. us those who have
seen II under the most favorable cir
cumstances were not In condition to
remember colors. In architecture II
is the custom to paint them whatever
color tho artist happens to have the
most Of.
With sculpture and art ms authority,
tho favorite positions OF tho griffin are
couchant- passant, rampant, with Its
mouth open and tongue out. Choice
illustrations Of this animal In the fore
going attitudes can be seen on the
coats OF arms OF the English aristoc-
rlcy and American pork packers.
The griffin ms used by the pork
packers is somewhat ileshicr than the
English thoroughbred. Why the grif-
fin is thus preferred above other ami
mails Is unknown. unless II Is TO har.
monize with the vague claims to
which II is supposed to give counte-
nance. though the countcnance OF the
griffin is nothing TO brag OF.
Although this country Is provide d
with II well-stocked zoology, the grif :
fin holds place peculiarly its own. as
there is no other animal that looks
enough like II TO do It's work. As pop
ulation increases and coats OF arms
are sold on the installmcnt plan, the
demand for griii'ns viii, incrcase. -
