DENVER, Col, Sept. 22.-Jakey
Persch, who of late has acted as cor

Persch and he wrote scurrillous items in
his papers, which reached Denver to-day.
Miss Gonzales Immediately procured
a black snake whip, and when Persch
made his appearance she flew at him,
bringing the whip around his legs and
shoulders with the force of an old time
ox-driver, raising blisters at every blow.
Then, reversing the whip, she struck
him stunning blow with the loaded
butt across the nose, smashing that
member almost fiat.
Persch then endeavored to protect
himself by clinching with her, but found
that he was only Sullivan in the hands
of Corbett, and the print of Miss Con
zales' nails are plainly visible upon his
face.
A meeting was called at each news
paper office last evening, and all con-
tributed towards beautiful basket of
flowers, which was presented to the
plucky little actress. Accompanying the
flowers from the Rocky Mountain Ne,cs,

card read: "Receive the thanks of the

DR.. David +. buckingham drove to
the farm of Emery Nicholson in Bran

in order to make technical examination
of the remains of the two cows that
died so suddenly early in the week.
The carcasses were dug up, and on
superficial examination the blood was
found to be bright red. The "internal
organ" SAID Dr. Buckingham, "showed
evidence of excessive Inflammation,
caused by some violent irritant.
symptoms of peritonitis were present.
From these indications it seemed that
death was the result of poisoning and
not of anthrax
There were indications of only two
anthrax symptoms, the reported ones of
frothing at the mouth and the stagger-
ing gait. DIR. Buckingham said the
cause of death might be arsenic, Paris
green or some other mineral poison lie
does not think strychnine was the cause
of death. He could not find, after Il
most careful search over the farm any
poisonous or narcotic plants. The high
location of the ground, its freedom from
marsh tracts and other conditions, are
all against the probability of an anthrax
development, He examined the other
cattle and horses on the farm and found
them free from anthrax symptoms. DR..
Buckingham thinks there is no ground
for alarm.
lie has, however, sent samples of the
internal organs of the animals TO the ex-
pertinent station at Newark, and has re.
tained others which he will analy2e with

The Visit of the Wilmington Committee
to Delmar.

The Wilmington committee for the Del
mar sufferers, comprising William LSwton,
Moore, John +. Almond, Mrs. A. ID.
Warner, Mrs. Washington Hastings and
S. IL. Baynard left here Wednesday MORN
ing for Demar to find out the exact status
of matters in that place.
1t was found that the Delmar committee
has yet all its cash fund of 50, 800 unex-
pended. The relief in food and clothing
having been sufficient up to the present.
However, many of the sufferers are still
homeless. Winter is coming on and the
idea OF the two committees, of this city
and of Delmar is to aid the homeless
people in providing for the winter.
The Wilmington committee has about
81, 800 on hand, making total available
sum of about 5000. 1t is considered that
this is sufficient to provide against all
needs during the winter term. The two
committees will act jointly and devise a
plan for distributing the fund.
The Wilmington ladies give great praise
for the careful and thorough work accom-
plished by the Delmar ladies'.
