hearing yet, but the evidence is conclusive
against them. The detective learned that an
hour before tho Young burned tools had been
taken off her and hid in the brush. These he
found, and in an interview with the trio of
suspects said he suspected crookedness in the
matter of the burning OF the vessel. He said
he would make q search for the hidden tools
today, but hurried to the scene with the
officers and lay in wait for the trio
who he had reason to believe would during the
night seek to get the tools ana throw them into
the river, thus destroying the evidence against
them. The officers had not been long in hiding
until Dove, Young and Pyburn came to the
woods for the tools, when they were arrested.

DENVER, Col, Oct 15.-The Republi-
can received special from Cheyenne
at o'clock Friday morning which says
that for nearly two days the severest
storm ever known on the Union Pacific
railroad has been raging here and as
far west as Ogden, Utah. In all direc-
tions tclegraphic communication was
cut of until last night when this dis
patch was sent through on u temporary
wire. All railroads have been blocked,
the cuts being filed with snow
which in some places was piled up
eighteen feet Rotary snow plows
have been hard at work between
Granite and Laramie, the snow being
five feet deep on the level at the latter
place. A half dozen westbound trains
have been tied up here all day but left
after the return of the snow plow
Thursday night. Thursday thirty coach
loads of people pulled from the western
sections with more to follow. The
Cheyenne Northern is entirely blocked.
Telegraphic communication being cut
off, no one knows where the belated
trains on it are. Two days have elapsed
since this road was showed in.
At Granite Canon Conductor Roberts
Thursday was blown off the platform
of car and hurled down ffteen-foot
embankment, the deep snow saving his
life. Reports are being received of inn
mense loss of cattle and ho-ses in
Northern Colorado and Wyoming.
Thousands of dollars worth of these
animals are known to have perished,
and it is estimated almost third of the
cattle and horses on the ranges have
been destroyed by the storm. An un-
known dead man was found by the side
of the railroad track near Greely, Col.

HENRY WATTESON
VIII Be tho Orator on Dedication Day
ChicnCO.

Will Be tho Orator on Dedication Day at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Since Senator Dan
iel, of Virginia, has declined to speak
on dedication day, in place of Col.
Breckenridge, it is more than possible
that Henry Watterson will be offered
the place. President Palmer said Fri
day that he was going to have meet
ing of the board of control at once to
have the matter brought up. The
president declared that it would be
good thing to have Mr.. Watterson speak,
and he was heartily in favor of 'the
plan.
"Even If Mr.. Watterson does not &C
cept," said he, SIT will be the proper
thing to ask him" The president did
not say so, but it is probable that he
will push this scheme with view to
healing up the trouble with Kentucky
caused by the Breckenridge declination.
Other Worlds fair officials expressed
themselves as much in favor of inviting
Mr.. Watterson, and before the rising of
another sun it is probable that this will
be done.
LOUISVILLE. Ky, Oct. 15.-Mr Henry
Watterson has accepted an invitation
to deliver the dedicatory address at the
Worlds fair: The invitation reached
him by telegraph this afternoon, and
he replied by wire, agreeing to take it.
