n. Klein, an eccentric Frenchman
81 years old and tailor, who has
been in business at Santa Fe for
thirty years, walked out in the noun
tains Monday and blew out his brains
with a revolver. Besides this weapon
he carried with him his best coat. a
keen bladed hatchet, a razor and
butcher knife. These we're found laid
out in a row beside his body as if to
be used in case the revolver failed in

A wreck occurred on the Atkins
branch of the Colorado Central. about
eight miles from Loveland As the
regular freight train, No. 326, with
four cars of stone and the caboose,
was making the curve near Winds
plaster mill, and was running on a

track at lively rate. The engine
was at once reversed and the brakes
set, but it was not until $50 ties had
been torn up that the train was
brought to a standstill. No damage
was done to the train except to the
tender, and no one was hurt.
Commissioner Carter OF the general
land office, in the case of the mineral
entry of William H. Kelly and others
for the Montgomery lode, has denied
an application for hearing with a
view to instituting proceedings in the
courts in the name of the government
to set aside the patent to so much of
the townsite Of Black Hawk, Colorado,
as conflicts Herewith. The commits
sioner says that before the govern
ment could assume the responsibility
for this action, a satisfactory case
should be made out by the mineral
claimants, which has not been done.
This, together with the fact that the
claim for the Montgomery lode was
not instituted until fourteen years
after the townsite patent, is sufficient
ground for denying the application.
This decision is important, as it prac-
ticaliy decides a number of other
cases of similar questions involving
the townsite OF Black Hawk
