clinging to the keel of the boat. and several
who had kept themselves afioat, were rescued.

Their Trail-The Chicago Lumber
Company Victim.

George G. Hoyt, came here from
New York state, over year ago, and
was given situation as book-keeper in
the Office of the Chicago Lumber com
pany.
He has moved in good society and
was considered pleasant gentleman,
and was an especial favorite with the
fair sex. His salary was only $50 per
month and yet he dressed well and
spent money freely.
About six weeks ago he left the en-
ploy of the Chicago Lumber company,
as was supposed on account of dull
times and the falling off of business.
1t appears, however, that he was dis
charged for embezzlement, but as the
amount was only about 500, and as
Manager Robinson did not want to
make him a public example, he was
given chance TO make the shortage
good. Besides he had turned over his
land Office papers as security for the
debt.
He found employment with DR.. E. E.
Burwen and was engaged on the doc
tors books and making collections of
the accounts of the office. His wrong
doing having been kept quiet DR.. Bur

The day after the election DR.. Bur

back on the midnight train Hoyt
thought he saw favorable opportuni-
ty to square matters by taking French
leave, and left for the west about the
same time of night as the others ar
rived.
It turned out that he had made affa-
davit to loss of his papers on his claim
and had secured duplicates and had
sold his REIMBURSEMENT to Charles G.
Graham, clerk in the Exchange bank.
He had also collected considerable
money on the accounts of DIR. Burwell
and had taken the funds with him, as
he needed them in his business. It is

AttrocfOus Murder.

Last Thursday night Asa P. Beam,
postmaster and store keeper at Ian
sing, Colo, a small town in the edge of
Arapahoe county, about 80 miles north
of Burlington, was murdered by I'M
known parties. He was found dead in
front of his store Friday morning with
three bullet holes in his body. It does
not appear that the killing was for
purpose of robbery as nothing was dis
turbed in the postoff1ce or store. There
was 800 in thread case and S25 in the
money drawer which was untouched.
1t was found that two bullets had en-
tered his breast and one into his back
causing almost instant death. 1t is
supposed that two men were engaged
in the killing as the bullets were of
different calibre-45 and IS, and that
while one man confronted him the
other shot him in the back. There is
a deep mystery connected with the
affair. He had no personal enemies in
the neighboFhood and was well known
in eastern Colorado. It is supposed it
must have been on account of some
old grudge held by parties where he
came from to Colorado and yet no
strangers have been seen in that part
of the country. Mr.. Beam was batch
elor and lived alone. He had watch
dog In the building, but the door was
shut; the murders, if they were bent
on robbery, could have easily disposed
of the dog. -.-=Ss=--=-s'~ =
News was carried to Wray, Colo, and
the coroner was summoned to hold an
inquest. The>sheriG of Arapahoe coun-
ty has man on the ground investigat-
ing the case with view to the discov-
cry of the guilty parties.

refuse to be ignored. That the proper

lUODf DC lie
Captain W. l. Merry. the president of the
North American Navigation Company, met
a special committee Of the Traffic Associa-
ton yesterday, and they all discussed the
johnson contract with the Panama Railroad
Company.
The main object Of the meeting was to Sc
cure the Endorsement of.the Traffic Associa-
ton of the terms of the contract aud some
assurance of future support of the new line
of steamers.
There is every reason to suppose that the
executive committee of the association will
eventually lndOrse the contract, but 10
official action will be taken for several days
yet, Traffic Manager Leeds being absent in
Sacramento.
An active canvass is being made among
the merchants to secure subscribers for the
stock of the North American Navigation
Company, and so far the results have been
promising
The men who have charge OF affairs here
are very enthusiastic and hopeful. and they
say that by March 1 the new line of ships
Will be IN operation.
The only point in the details of the con-
tract which seeems to be la need of expla-
natieD is that the paper does not provide
for the use of through bills of ladng on
business between Panama and Acapulco.
1t Is stated that o n account OF the injnne-
ten proceedings now pending in the New
York courts such a concession could not be
possibly obtained at this time, but that the
lack of it only affects the trade between
Panama and Central American ports
The Traffic Associations executive COM
m ttee has passed resolution opposing the
bill now before the Legislature. which if
passed will permit the Board Of Harbor
Con- missioners 10 lease the Belt Railroad,
