DR.. Manown has about closed the
contract with Peter r. Smith to sell
the latter his handsome residence on
Main street. Mr.. Smith will not
take charge till September LIST, and
in the meantime the Doctor will
build new residence around the
office on his premises, that part be-
ing reserved. MIR. Smith will en-.
large the property and make an
elegant hotel oct of it, as it is one
of the best sites in town. The
Doctors reason for selling is, that
he has more room than he wants
and the house does not suit his wife
and he proposes to build now just
to suit, and besides he makes a
handsome speculation out of his
investment.

DANCED INTO HIS AFFECTIONS.

Denver Society Circles Torn Up Over the
Elopement of Young Greig.
The report that Charles Norwood Grelg
had eloped from New York with Ray Allen.
one Of the dancers in La Cigale, has created
wonderful CONFUSION among Denver's
400" of which he was q member Greig
was always recognized In Denver as an
amateur musician of more than ordinary
attainments. He sang in local choir circles,
and was popular among the society people,
who we're never more flattered than when
the presence Of Mr.. Greig graced their
festal board; He began with eight years
experience IL the Albany Cathedral. New
York, and was induced to remove to Denver
as the general manager for Crippen. Law
renee & Co., who had an Office in the Patter-
son & Thomas Block. Mr.. Greig ingrat-
ated himself into the graces of his en-
plOyers, and manifested such an aptitude
for financial affairs that there never was
at any moment the slightest criticism of his
actions. He was associated with Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church, where he sang
bass and directed a quartet. He possessed
an invaluable barytone, and was priced as
an addition to whatever circle he entered.
Subsequently Mr.. Greig became interested
in the Castlewnod Dam lands, and went to
New York to float $500, 900 worth Of collat-
erals. He was successful to a certain de-
gree and was instructed to remain and push
the bonds upon the attention of investors.
How he succeeded Is not known.
Mr.. Greig's brother, who is employed in
one of the Denver banks, most emphati-
cally denies the report that his brother has
eloped, and has kilograms from his mother
in New York, which say that his brother
Is seriously ill at her residence, aud has
