A FAIRY TALE.
A Cave of WOndrous Beauty Found in
the Mountains of Colorado.
In One of the Chambers are Discovered Num-
Der of Bodies, all Petrifled-Great Ex-
element Over the Discovery.

DENNERs Col. Aug. IA most re-
markable story reached here yesterday
from Aspen, Colo, regarding an unex-
pected find in one of the principal mines
on the Aspen mountains. Last TEdfs-
day night, as the story goes, the night
shift in the Minnie mine of Messrs. DON
nelly, Mackey, Taylor s. GilfIlan put in
two thirty inch holes in the breast of
500 foot level, and fired the blast just
before leaving for the surface On re-
turning to the mine it was found that the
two shots had broken into a cave, the
extent of which they proceeded to
explore. Going in a few feet they
found the walls covered with
crystalized lime and lead that glittered
like diamonds. Here and there little
stalactites hung froml the ceiling. The
lime formation resembled lace and frieze
work of wondrous beauty. The cave has
descent of about twenty degrees, and
there were found in it rooms and cham
bers grand beyond description They
had entered about two hundred feet
when they found flint ak. A little
further was pool of fresh water, and
further on strong current of fresh air
was felt. Further on a chamber was
discovered covered with brownish muck
that was sticky. Gllfllin, who was in
the lead suddenly stopped and said:
''There sits boy.
Sure enough, there sat human form
His head was resting on his knees, and
his arms were drawn around the legs In
dian fashion. A stone bowl and ak were
found beside the boy. The body was
well preserved but in trying to lift it one
arm broke off. Other bodies i'll different
attitudes were found in the chamber,
but when disturbed they crumbled. One
stone man was brought out with the loss
of arms and feet. The discovery has
caused great excitement in Aspen, as the
bodies do not seem to be those of Indians

CUTTING OFF THEIR OWN NOSES.
Special to the Gazette.
TAHLEQUAH, 1. T., Aug. 12.-It is
learned on good authority that Chief
Mayes' answer to the commission will
say that no time could be gained by call
ing an extra session of the council at this
time, as the constitution must be
amended before any of the Cherokee
land can possibly be sold. The amend
ment could not be made before the
general election in August, 1891. Chief
Mayes viii also ask the commission
to make It's proposition still more specific,
so there eau be no misunderstanding
when the council meets next November.
After some further intercourse by written
communication therefor the commission
ers will be compelled to visit the other
Indians of the territory. The commits
sioners will probably next visit the Chloe
taws and Chickasaws. 1t is reported that
they are
WILLING TO SELL
a part of their leased district occupied by
the Kiowas, Comanches and the Arapa-
hoes. The commission being without
a quorum in the absence of Gen. Hart
ranft cannot conclude any negotiations
with any tribes, the visit at this time be-
ing simply to acquaint themselves with
the condition of the Indians, to examine
treaties and secure expressions of opin-
ion. Gen. Hartranft will go to Europe
for the benefit of his health and on ac-
count of his business engagements, also,
which require most of his attention.
1t is thought possible that he
may resign as a member of the
commission, but the commissioners have
announced their intention of pushing the
work as rapidly as possible when Hart
ranft or his successor returns, proceeding
to the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country

KEGS to negotiate with the commission

cit was to give the Cherokees an op-
portunity to escape the complications

to the Cherokees by our proposition that
we would give them 81 20 per acre for
their claim, and that the United States
government would assume any other
claims to thestrip, thereby freeing the
Cherokees entirely from any results that
may come of other interests.

A Fifteen-Year- Girl Brutslly Outraged.

NEW YORK, Aug. u .-Thomas Collins,
aged thirty-fiv years, was arrested this
morning for fiendish attempt to out
rage Annie O'Donnell, aged fifteen
years, daughter of A o 'Donnen, resid-
ing at 30 Bowery street. Collins boarded
with O'Donnell. He got up at 1
O 'clock this morning, stole through the
room in which O'Donnen and his wife
were sleeping, and entered the room oc-
cupied by the girl, where he attempted
to assault her. Failing to accomplish
his purpose, he used a knife, inflicting
horrible wounds. The girl ran screaming
to her father s room and told her story.
Her father searched for Collins and found
him hiding behind the bed. He picked
up an earthen vessel and smashed it over
Collins head, Inflicting 'seYeral deep and
ugly gashes. Collins then made his es-
cape and sought refuge in an out house
where he made an attempt to cut his
throat, but only inflicted a flesh wound.
He afterwards made his way to the street
where he was taken into custody. He
was committed for trial. He says he is a
somnambulist and does not remember
going into Annie g room.

The Arrest of Young Man at Waco Forging

The Arrest OF a Young Man at Waco Forging
Papers on an Alabama Bank.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Aug. 12.-The citizens
of Waco were surprised to-day to learn
of the arrest of Mr.. Clay Clark, charged
with forgery, by Detective Van Hall, on
requisition papers from Governor Thos.
Seay of Alabama Clark is alleged to
have uttered three different instruments,
drawing on the State National bank of
Birmingham, Ala. the first of which
was dated September 3, 1888, and to
which the name of j. w. Sloss, Jr.,
was signed. The checks were signed and
sent to the bank in a letter asking for
New York exchange for the amount, and
to this letter was signed C. w. Lewis.
Under this alias he shielded himself and
succeeded in colleeking two checks
amounting to $780,. The last was
for $500 and caused his arrest.
The Birmingham bank addressed him as
G.. W. Lewis, care of the Driskell hotel,
Austin, and this letter was watched.
Not being claimed, it was sent to the Pa
cifc hotel, Waco, and watched. Clark
was seen TO get the letter, and his arrest
soon followed He made a full confess
SlOu u ill u O6I6CLINO OuL 1C-
fused TO be interviewed by the
public, and especially by reporters.
j. C. Sloss, Jr.;f whose name
was forged is cashieR,of. the Birmingham
bank and an old school mate of Clark.
He lives most of the tiRe in New York.
Clark is well known in Waco and
vicinity, and was quite prominent IN
society here. The defendant lawyer
will probably attempt to defeat writ of
extradition on the ground that although
the forGeries were passed on an Alabama
bank, they were committed at Waco.
While in the guard room of Detective
Hall, Clark caught sight of a Winches
ter carbine hanging on the wall. This
he furtively approached and attempted
to seize, whereupon struggle ensued
and Clark was thwarted of his purpose.
The presumption is that had he obtained
possession of the weapon he would have
evaded proceedings against him forever
by blowing out his brains.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Aug. 12e-The

might be no burden upon her parents,

body when it was found in the river
were given Mr.. Guppey and he left on
his return home this morning perfectly
