A horse had been stolen, says the
Philadelphia Times, and the evidence all
pointed to disreputable person in the
neighborhood as the culprit. Although
his guilt seemed clear, he had found a
lawyer to undertake his defence. At the
trial the defendants attorney expended
his energy in trying to confuse and
frighten the opposing witnesses, espcc-
tally farmer whose testimony was par
ticularly damaging.
"You say" shouted the lawyer, "that
you can swear to having seen this man
drive horse past your farm on the day

for he had already answered the question
a dozen times.
"What time was this?"

"But don't want any abouts' or any

triumphantly at the jury; at last he had
entrapped the witness into a contra

weaken his testimony. "I think that

The farmer leisurely picked mp his hat
and started to leave the witness stand;

FROM A BREAKFAST FIRE.
Jimtown, Col, Almost Totally Destroyed
Hundreds Homeless.

OItntoWn, COi.s Almost IOtatiy Deetroyeu
Hundreds Homeless.
DENVER, Col, June 6.-The bustling
camp of Jimtown, which is separated
from the famous mining town OF Creole
by mile and half, was almost totally
destroyed by fire which broke out at $50
yesterday morning. The flames origi-
mated in an explosion OF coal oil with
which family living in the Kinneavey
block were starting a fire to prepare
breakfast.
AS there was no fire department, the
flames had their own way and soon they
burned through the rows OF frame build
ings for q mile in the narrow gulch in
which the town is situated. Many houses
were blown mp with giant powder in an
attempt to stop the fire, but this had no
effect, for the flames leaped from one
vacant space to another, and only stopped
for want OF material. Little, IL any, OF
tho contents were saved.
There are hundreds OF families home
less, but they will be provided for by the
people of Creede. While the fire was in
progress the numerous saloons were
thrown open to the crowd and the liquor
was free to all who desired IL. The result
was that many drunken men were on the
streets, but they. did no damage.
One hundred deputy sheriffs have been
sworn in and they will protect the town
against thieves.
The heaviest losers are Alexander Heit-
Ter a Co., saloon, building and stock,
e22, 1000; Shackelford q Foster, Albany
Hotel block, 5000; Sinner n Morse,
e75O0; Tompkins Hardware Company,

1t was an ideal day for the yachtmen
and everybody who owned a sailing craft
was out with her yesterday. There was a
spanking breeze all day long and all down
Narragansett Bay as far as could be seen,
the water was dotted with white sails.
Early in the morning there was scene of
activity about the houses of the Rhode
Island and Corinthian clubs and by noon
there was not q boat at anchor at either
of the club houses. They were all out
with parties taking advantage of the
beautiful day aud the splendid breeze.
Among the most noticeable boats were
those which took part i'm race on Satur-
day. the Victor, Cocheco, Khedive, Jessie,
Miliie, Gladys, Hornet, Rose, Dick aud
many others, including the George H.,
the Fortuna and the cutter Margeta.
Here aud there the little naphtha
launches could be seen shooting along
with pleasure parties on board and one
old captain who has spent years on Mar
ragansett Bay declared that he had never
seen SO many launches on the water at
one time. Row boats, too, were plenti-
full and il seemed as il everything that
would float was called into commission
yesterday.
The sloop yacht Adele of New York
got her anchor fouled on the mussel beds
yesterday and it took half hour of hard
work to bring it on deck.
