nothing to eat. A pair of saddle pock ct.
taken from Burrows were laying in out

moment and brought out two pistols,
with which he covered McDutlce and the

both men, unlocked the front door, and
asked where Carter was with his money
and when told him he was at the hotel. he
ordered the negro to show him the way

HlTCH In THE DEAL

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-A morning paper says:
There appears TO be a serious hitch in the
Colorado Midland deal. The directors Of
the Colorado Midland were to have met at
Colorado Springs yesterday to ratify the
sale of the road to the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe. The meeting, however, was
postponed at the last moment for one
month, and the general officers of the COM
pany started at once for New York. Pres
ideut MOtlatt of the Denverand Rio Grande
has also gone to New \ NOrk
evidently on an errand similar to that of
the officers of the Midland. What the
hitch in the proceedings Is can only be sur
missed. The opinion is that the Santa Fe
people when they secured an option on
the Midland, also expected 10 secure pos
session of The Rio Graude Western or at
least secure an extensive traffic agreement
with the latter. The attempt of the
Santa te people 10 secure control of the
Rio Grande is surmiSed TO have been
foiled 10y the efforts of the Denver and Rio
Grande and other roads depending upon
the Rio Grande Western for an outlet To
the Pacific coast
