made to cover such things as purely
manufacturing plants.
A committee of citizens from North
town, who own property on the East
side Of the river. made a vigorous pro-
test to the committee against the laying
of water main to the site where the @.
A. Smith Lumber company proposes to
build a large saw mill and lumber plant.
They objected to the payment of assess
ments, accruing the supposed benefits
to their property. Representative of
the lumber company stated that it
would be impossible for SO large plant
as is contemplated to be built unless it
was accorded water mains for fire pro-
lection. No insurance company would
insure the plant, and no concern would
care to build under such circumstances.
The board decided, in spite Of the
clamor, to put in the main.
The board took no action on the mat
ter of appointments, but will make the
selections at meeting to be held next
Tuesday afternoon. 1t is likely that
the present water force will be retained,
including Registrar Moody and Super
visor Mcconnell. On Saturday after
noon the board will visit the various
pumping stations and endeavor to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with the
workings of the department.

A Rich mark"

Jared Howe. wealthy young busi-
ness man of Madison, Wis, who has
been spending few days in the city,
started out on pleasure trip last nigh,
and i'll his meanderings about the city,
fell in with number of tough men.
They took advantage of his tipsy condi-
ton, and lured him into an alley be-
tween First and Second streets south,
and were in the act of relieving him Of
all his valuables when Sergeants Leon
ard and Kirkham came upon the scene.
The toughs scattered to the four winds,
and Howe was taken to the central sta
tion where he was kept long enough to
sober up. Howe had nearly $1,000 in
money in his pockets, and diamonds on
his fingers and in his shirt front worth
about the same amount.

JOSEPH LUDWIG's END.
The Golden Valley SaloOnkeeper
Commits Suicide.


Golden Valley is agitated over a sui
eide. Joseph Ludwig, the proprietor Of
the well-RnOWn road house on the Wa
tertown road, shot himself through the
head Monday afternoon and died in
stantly. Ludwig became insane about
a year ago and was sent to Rochester.
Shortly before Christmas he was re-
lea sed as cured. A short time after his
return home he again evinced signs of
dementia, which took the form of mel
anchOlia He wanted to die and num-
ber OF times threatened to kill himself.
A close watch was kept over him by his
relatives for fear he might carry out his
threat.
Last Sunday Ludwig became violent
and attempted TO kill his wife. Mon
day afternoon about o'clock he went
into his bed room and locked the door.
In few moments his wife heard shot,
and when the door Of the room was
forced open Ludwig was found lying on
the floor dead. He had placed the bar
rel of the revolver to his right temple
and fired, the bullet going clear through
his head. Coroner Spring was notified,
and, upon investigation, decided that
an inquest was unnecessary. The re-
mains will be inferred today in the
Golden Valley cemetery.

Gets A new TRIAL,
DR.. Graves Granted Another
Chance by the Supreme
Court.
Instructions Of the Lower
Court Inaccurate and
Misleading.
Many Incom petent State
ments Admitted as
Evidence.
More Sensational Testimony
in the Alleged Homestead
Poisoning Trial.

DENVER. Jan. 17.-Dr. Graves was to-
day granted new trial by decision of
the supreme court. The opinion OF the
court is that without doubt certain we'll
established rules of the law of evidence
had been neglected in the trial in the
lower court. The evidence of guilt was
entirely circumStantial. Under the rul-
ings of the criminal court, suspicious
voiced by deceased were admitted in
evidence, whether the same originated
with Mrs. Barnaby or emanated from
some of the numerous persons admitted
to the sick chamber. In this indirect
way the statement was permitted
to 90 to the jury that in the
opinion of Mrs. Barnaby the
Bennetts did not send the contents of
the bottle which caused her death.
The lower court also permitted ques-
tion put by Mrs. Worrell to Mrs.
Barnaby, which cast suspicion upon
the doctor. The opinion holds also that
the instructions to the jury were er-
roneous, and quotes precedents in
which decisions have been reversed
solely upon errors in the charge. Upon
principle the court is of opinion that
the metamorphosed instructions to the
jury are inaccurate and misleading.
Evidence of statements by Mrs. Barn
ably showing loss of confidence in
Graves was incompetent to show
motive, unless such statements were
brought to his knowledge prior to the
time at which 1t is claimed the bottle
was sent. 1t was also an error to not
accord the accused the right to meet all
witnesses face to face.
Graves Receives the News.
CANON CITY, Col. Jan. 17.-The tele-
gram from DR.. Graves attorney an
nouncing new trial was delivered at
the penitentiary at 10:30 this morning.
DR.. Graves was sitting in his cell, and
Yardmaster Connors received the tele-
gram and took it to the prisoner. The
doctor was visibly affected as the mes
sage was handed him, and tore it open
with nervous fingers. He hurriedly
glanced at the brief lines and threw up
his hands and said: "My God, this is
bad news" One of the guards then
hurriedly read the missive and say
ing, Il guess not, returned it to
Graves, who read 1t secoud
Llln6. he Hdu Hldu6 mistake.
The first line of the telegram
read: Judgment against you," and
he had overlooked the second, on which
was the word reversed" The minute
the doctor realized the import of the
message he shook hands with every
body around him and wept. He broke
down completely, and finally recover
ing started to write letter to his wife.
The doctor said he had nothing in par
ticular to tell. excepting that he was
very happy as to the news. He has
asked to have his trunk and clothes sent
here, and also prefers to stay i'll the
prison until his bond IS fixed up instead
of going 10 the Arapahoe county jail.
As to his future movements the doctor
has little to say. He will probably re-
main in Colorado for the present and
then 60 TO see his wife.

CoRsEKs CREDITORS.
Disputed Claims Have Been Re-
ferred to ATTORNEYS,

Frank r. Petit, manager for A. J.
Sawyer & Co., says his company will
insist upon its claim of $4,000 against
the Corser estate. He says his firm did
nothing but a strictly legitimate COM
mission business for Mr.. Corser, buying
wheat from the elevator companies, and
selling when ordered by Mr.. Corser to
sell. President j. W. Raymond, of the
Northwestern bank, a member of tho
Corser creditors committee, says:
1.-THE committee, as such, has moth
ing to do with the rejection of the Saw
yer & Co. claim. Whether or not that
should be paid will be determined by
judicial authorities. at least, legal minds,
when the estate finally goes into the
hands of the assignee, receiver or trus-
tee, as the case may be. The committee
has talked the claim over just as you
and | might, but has taken no action"
Other members of the committee say
they have referred A. j. Sawyer & Co.'s
$4,000 claim, and others of like nature,
to their attorneys. The committee will

The long g-looked-for order to close the
