An Awful Fall.

Pueblo, Sept. 1S.-Just after midnight,
as j. G. Overmeyer was passing in front
of the Central National bank at the cor
ner of G street and Union avenue, he was
startled by tearing noise above his
head and before he could look up the
body of man lay at his feet, blood
gushing from his mouth. He at once
called for help and willing hands lifted
the body of the nearly lifeless man up
and it was found that he had been nearly
mashed to pieces in the fall. 1t was
found to be Harry l.. Duncan who, with
Charles M. Cummings, occupied room "a
in the Holden block and were employed
as walters at Ringe'a restaurant. Hs fell
about thirty feet and struck on his head,
but whether it was accidental or inten-
tional is not known. He can not live.

GRIM REMINDERS OF THE WAR

HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE PRESENT
State Monuments Impressivelv Dedi-

and Herbert, Atty. Gen.
Harmon and Gen. Will
son Present.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 1s.-Not
since the bloody battle that occurred
here thirty-three years ago have there
been SO many people in this region. The
estimates az to the size of the multitude
vary from $4,000 to 100000.
At day light the people began to move
toward Chickamauga, and from that time
on until afternoon, the trains and electric
cars reminded one of those leading to the
Worlds fair at Chicago. They we're Jam
med. The crowd was we'll handled.
Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith,
Secretary of the Navy Herbert, Attorney
General Harmon and Postmaster General
Wilson will arrive tonight.
The first event of to-day was the dedi-
cation of the Michigan state monuments
at Snodgrass Hill, a point at which there
was probably more hard fighting during
the battle than on any part of the field.
Gov. John 7. Rich made the address.
In the northeast corner of the Kelly
field the monuments of Wisconsin were
turned over to the government, at II
o'clock, by Col. W. w. Watkins.
The veterans of Ohio took possession
of Snodgrass Hill as soon as those from
Michigan had finished.
Gen. Chas. H. Grosvenor addressed the
meeting. Gov. Campbell, governor at the
time the commission was created, j. s.
Gill and j. 8. McElroy also spoke. Con.
Acquilla Wiley formally turned the monu-
ments over to Gov. Mckinley, who trans
ferred them to the national government.
The Illinois monuments were dedicated
on the site where Widow Glenn's house
stood during the battle, few hundred
yards southeast of the famous "Bloody
Pond"
The widows house was burned during
the fight, but the Bloody Pond" is still
there. 1t was so named because its
waters were red with human blood after
the battle. People living in the vicinity
say that since that terrible day animals
have refused to drink its water.
Several thousand people, principally
from Illinois, or those who served in
Illinois regiments, were there to witness
the ceremonies.
Gov. Altgeld made the address turning
the monuments over to the government.
The exercises attendant upon the trans
fer of the Indiana monuments to the gov
ernment took place at Lytle Hill, as the
ridge south of the Dyer houseis is called,
in memory of General LYtle, who was
killed there.
Gov. Matthews delivered the address.
General Lew Wallace and Colonel I. N.
Walker, commander-in-chief of the G. A.
R., also spoke. The exercises were con-
