Ex-senator Tabor Recovering His Ones
Great Fortune
H. A. w Tabor Of Denver, the man
whose SO 600 lace nightshirt was the
talk of the country when he repre-
sented Colorado in the United States
senate, and who subsequently lost the
bulk of his fortune, is on top again
and the story reads like a fairy tale.
Ten years ago he was worth about So
600 0OO but he spent money by thous-
ands was bled by politicians and
friends and layished his wealth
through a score of channels Through
il all he held on TO the Tabor opera
house, worth over 81, 0OO 900. and the
Tabor block, worth nearly half as
much. He fell into the hands of
money lenders, who charged him and
3 per cent month interest, besides
round commissions of 500. 900 and S25.-
OO0 His principal Indebtedness was
concentrated within the last two years
on his two big buildings in cut-throat
trust deeds for $50, 600. There is no
redemption clause in these deeds
Some months ago the old man went
into the Jesus Maria mine in old
Mexico. and now his tabor luck,
long a favorite expression in the west,
has returned. The blocks were adyer-
tised to be sold at auction some weeks,
ago. and they would have gone from
him forever if his agents had not Sc
cured a temporary injunction During

been shown that he got only SIG, 900

cheer which the judge with difficulty
suppressed, as the ex-senator has gen
