She Showed Him Stars.

For every shooting star he claimed a kiss.
She, seeming coy, at first dcmlirred to this;
But he, perSisting, would not be denied
When he, al length, Il flying meteor spied.
And so. as evening grew apuce, their eyes
Oft scanned the glittcring aspect of the skies:
And when darling star caught others sight
A sound of kissing broke upon the night.
And SO ii came to pass anon that she
Look for shooting star as much as he
Nav, il by chance star escaped his view,
She called his wondering fancy to it, too.
When intervals seemed long between each hug
She called him on Il passing lightning bug:
And, ever taxing her ingenious mind,
Her ready wit enabled her to find
More shooting stars in three short heeting hours
Than would compose whole rhetoric showers.
Bat when she did her last prcteXt exhaust,
And was about to yield her ciitiSe as lost,
Sh" Stw Il switcmnan's lantern circling swing
And got the youth down to Il steady thing.

Dietch Granted a Pard on

DEs MONIES Ia, April 2s.-[Spccial Tel
egram TO THE BEE. "A pardon by the gov
ernor was made out to-day for Dietch, who
is now in the peritentiary at Auamosa,
under life sentence for murder. The case
is one of uncommon interest from the fact
that the possibility is that Deitch is an inno-
cent man, and has been suffering for another
mans crime. man named Joseph Thum
was murdered at Cedar Rapids about four
years ago. Governor Sherman offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest of the mur
derer, and Dietch and man named Thum
were arrested and convicted OF murder in
the second degree and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for life Dietch stoutly aifrme d
his innocence and the governor was led to
believe that the man who gave evidence
against him did 50 to get the reward. and he
refused TO pay it, Nevertheless, Dictch was
convicted, and has been in prison nearly
four years. Some of his old army friends
have followed up the case, and believing
that he was innocent, have collected all the
evidence they had to prove that fact. After
careful investigation, Governor Larrabee
concluded to give the man u pardon, and on
May he will be set free, after nearly four
years of what, IN all probability, has been an
illegal Imprisonment.

FOUNTAIN. Colo, April 29.-lSpecal Tele-
gram to THE BEE. "A. S. Hastin gs was mur
dered here last night by tramps. The affair
occurred in the operating rooms of the Santa
Fe station at this point, where Hastings was
employed as night operator. The murder is
known TO have been committed by two
tramps, and it is thought that four or five
were engaged in the affair.
After delivering orders 10 the north bound
express, at 2 o'clock this morning, Hastings
re entered his Office forgetting to lock the
door. The tramps entered after the depar
ture of the train and demanded that he open
the company's safe AS Hastings was igno-
rant of the combination he was perfectly
honest when he replied that he did not know
how. Disbelieving him the two tramps began
n most terrible assault on the defenscess
operator An examination of the room indi-
Gated the terrible nature of the struggle
which ensued, and that the operator fought
desperately before he fell mortally wounded.
During the struggle Hastings, in addition
to being bruised and SCARED, was shot by
some person standing behind him. The bull
let entered his left shoulder, and taking
diagonal course, passed out OF the right
breast, above the ribs. 1t was found this
morning lying by the safe. While their vic
tlill lay DleeuluB anu HelpleSS, DcBpluR plbl-
fully for his life, his assailauts calmly rified
his pockets taking $50 and the keys of his
cash drawer from which they obtained 1855
more. In their haste to quit the scene they
made no attempt to disturb the safe in which
$50 was deposited.
AT the momenti of the murder, snow was
falling heavily and soon after the discovery
of the crime footprints in the snow were
| plainly discerniple. They were those of two
| men, evidently of immense size, one wearing
| No. IL shoe, the other a No. s. They were
| only traceable for "A short distance. Neither
| could be mistaken for operators.
After the departure of the murderers
Hastings managed TO leave the station and
| crawl to the house of the agent, Mr. Denny,
| about five hundred feet away; bleeding and
with scarcely a spark of life, the unfortun-
| ate man, after a struggle, reached Denny's
window and feebly knocking, cried, "Ohl

In Vain Endeavor to Head the

The patrons of the Coliseum have lost none
OF their interest in the lady bykers, as was
attested by the large attendance, yesterday,
at the opening of the six days race, four
hours a day, with the same contestants that
appeared here last month. The contest will
be better one than was given by the fair
bykiennes at their first appearance. The
riders are all in bett er condition, and give
promise of making a speedier race.
The start was made yesterday afternoon
at 8 o'clock, and was a lively one from the
crack of the pistol to the close OF the two
hours session. The first fact made promi-
nent was that Miss Williams will not have
walkaway in this race. AS soon as the riders
were fairly started she made an effort tc
gain n Ian by one of her
old time spurts. Much to her surprise,
she found Oakes, Woods and Baldwin close
after her. They wouldn't be shaken. The
first mile was made in 3 3:4s, and 10 miles and
3 laps were covered the first hour. Ar
maindo rode Is miles and drew off from the
other contestants, keeping together through
the two hours, scoring 80 miles and laps.
The building was fairly well filled when
the riders started for the two hours evening
run at 8 o'clock. AT $3.50 Miss Williams
made another desperate effort to put lap
between herself and her competitors. She
didn't succeed Petite Jessie Oakes was
right after ner and stayed there. Beauty
Baldwin lost a lap, but the Omaha favorite
could not get away from Oakcs and Woods
Just at the prettiest part of the race Williams
and Oakes colided and both were carried
from the ring. Miss Woods took advantage
of the mishap and gained lead
of two laps. The victims of
the accident remounted almost immediately,
Williams gaining her speed first and securing
q Lead of lap on the the plucky English
girl. The position of the riders was not
changed during the rest of the evening and
they crossed the line at 10 O'Clock in a bunch

Taking into consideration the fact that his
engagement ls unfortunately, sandwiched
between very strong and high priced attrac-
tions, Fred Warde drew much better au-
dience to the Grand opera house last night
than had been expected he would. Still, his
business here will not reach any such figure
as he deserves. 1t is TO be regretted, too,
because he IS an excellent actor and worthy
of better treatment.
Last night Mr. Warde produced for the
first, and it is to be hoped the last, time in
this city, the new play, ''The Mountebank." "
So far as the performance, artistically, is
concerned, 1t was great, and pleased those
who witnessed it immensely, but the story
told, and the action depicted so much sor-
row and suffering and cruelty and agony
that the grief felt by the audience overbal-
anced any enjoyment they might have been
able to CLEAN from the entertainment. While
