Causes of the Tragedy.

DENVER, Colo, Oct 15.-Whisky and
jealousy were the causes of an awful trag-
edy early this morning. The notorious
Jim Connors and Mike Ryan were drinking
in a saloon after midnight and Connors
being leased by his friends over the fact
that his mistress, a Mrs. Dalcof, had
deserted him for @. j. tinnicum, became
so cnraged that he took Ryan and going to
Mrs. Dalcoff's rooms, broke open the door
and found her with Finnicum. Finnicum
was ordered to dress, after which he
was knocked down, pounded and gagged,
then carried to the window and thrown
into the alley three stories below. His
jaw was broken, both eyes knocked out
and his skull laid open till the brain was
ex posed. He died in a short time, Con-
ners and Ryan were arrested. The promi-
nence Of the offenders made the case IN
usually interesting. Ryan until lately was
one of the officers in the fire department
but is now under bonds for drugging anG
robbing a man. Connors was first lieu
tenant of police, but is now under bond!
for Trial for attempting to hold up aud rol
a Rio GranGe train three years ago.

THE FLoop-Ross AFFAIR,

The testimony taken at the inquest
over the remains Of Charles Ross,
who was killed Tuesday evening by
Nick Flood, is conflicting, and there is
still doubt as to who made tho first
offensive move.
John Iiuttcr is positive that he saw
Ross draw his pistol and shoot first.
Cole, the bartender, testifies that Hutter
was in the billiard room, but Hutter
says he saw the shooting from the bill

evidence seems to substantiate Hutter's
testimony, while no evidence has been
produced to show that Flood fired first.
1t is clearly established that the men
were bitter enemies and that they fired
almost simultaneously. 1t is upon the
evidence as to who made the first often
siye move that the result of the case
