Richard Newell, DR., Murdered in n
Colorado Camp.

Cripple Creek, Col, Dec. 22.-Rlchard
Newell, Jr.. chief engineer Of the Md
land Terminus railroad. building from
Divide Station on the Colorado Midland
road into this camp, was shot and
instantly killed at 4a5 o'clock this
afternoon by an enraged miner, named
Van Houten, near the Independence
mine. The right-of-way of the line had
crossed the miners claim. An adjust
ment had been arranged which appear
ed satisfactory to him but afterwards
he made new demands. From early
reports 1t appears that Newell was
down on the line which was being push
ed across the Van Houten claim when
the miner assaulted Newell with muir
derous Intent. The camp is aflame with
excitement over what seems to have
been a cold-blooded affair, and there
will probably be a lynching before
morning. Newell formerly resided in
Cleveland, Ohio. and was nephew of
the late John Newell, president Of the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
railway. Young Newell returned about
two weeks ago from the funeral of his
wife. who was buried In Cleveland. He
had been connected with the Midland
since last year.
