KNOCKED DowNBy A NEGRO.
Jesse CobIer Seriously Injured By A
Blow on the Head

Tuesday Jesse Cobler, white, who has
been in the employ of Dalton, Farrow
s. Co, was attacked by a negro about
one O'Clock this morning and is new
in critical condition.
Cobler says that he was was walking
along the street with a negro when
they reached the corner of Seventh
and Reservoir streets the darkey
hauled away and knocked him down
with something that resembled pair
of knucks. After Cobler fell the ne
gro started to jump on him but he
was frightened off by the white man
raising up on his elbow, reaching back
to his hip pocket and threatening to
shoOt if he came any nearer.
CObler managed to get home and
Tuesday his wounds were dressed
by Drs. Doughton and Thomas. Up
on examination it was discovered
that the skull was fractured and that
the wounded mans injuries were quite
serious and would in all probability
prove fatal.
The negro has thus far escaped ar
rest.
1t is the opinion of many that Cob
Ter and the negro had been gambling
and that the difficulty originated over
the former winning the lattcr'S money.

Business Resu mpticns in Denver.

DENVER, Col, July o. Confidence
in the Denver banks and commercial
houses is being restored in the east
and at home with nearly the same
rapidity that our people attempted
their destruction for the first three
days of this week. There have been
no suspensions of magnitude for three
days and no more are expected.
1t is understood that the German
and State National Banks have re-
ceived large sums of money and will
be ready to open their doors again
within very short time.
The commercial houses that went
down with the banks are in equally
good condition. The Kaleidoscope
Newton Lumber Company, which as
signed Wednesday with assets of $780,
600, resumed business yesterday. The
Flanders Dry Goods Company, which
closed for $500, 600, will open their
doors today. Many others will follow
shortly.

corn, tobacco and other crops. On
Monday evening lightning struck
within about one hundred feet of three

about equal distance from each. For
