DENVER, Colo, May ~.
Denver ia cursed with choice assor'men,
| of desperate rogues who drift In from ail
quarters OF the earth. Whenever such ehh''
scters are driven from the smaller towns they
hasten TO this city where they are less hheS
! to be noticed. Although We have polieo
! force OF at least average ability which keeps
sharp eye open for law-hreakers oil the hs'sf
sort, the latter run but little danger IN pfae'
tieing their profession. During Sunday ana
Monday nights three men In the upper p'rl
| Of town ware sanibagg,i and robbed. Panl
Bates was beaten on The bead 50 As To render
him unconscious, then robbed and left ON the
sidewalk To die. A policeman discovered h'ni
and took him To police Headquarters where II
was found tha, hi. wound, we're very serious
and he may die. lie va, In the city tempo
