TWO RANCHERS SHOT.
Another Feud Which Has Resulted in
the Splitting of Blood.


the Splitting of Blood.
Seattle, August pa special to the
Poss-Intelligencer from Woodinville
junction, King county says: A fear
full shooting atfray occurred at Avon
dale, about eight miles east of here this
morning, resulting in the death of
Joseph Cicero and probably mortal
wounding of Jim McCann, both ranch
ers, living near Avondale. Bad blood
has existed between Cicero and the Mo
Cam brothers since the election last
fall. This morning Cicero, meeting
Jim McCann and his brother, they i'm
mediately began quarreling. Finally
Cicero and Jim McCann came to
blows, and when separated by some
bystanders, one of the McCann broth
ers pulled his revolver. Upon seeing
this Cicero said:
If that is your game, I will take a
hand in it.
He Immediately went to his house,
only few rods off, and when he came
out one of the McCanns fred two shots
at him, upon which Cicero also COM
menced firing. One of his bullets took
effect in McCann's abdomen. Cicero
still advancing, fell to the ground,
when one of the Mccain brothers took
the revolver from his brothers. hand,
and, holding it close to Cicero's head,
fired, resulting in the immediate death
of Cicero. Small hopes are entertained
for McCann's life, according to last re-
norris

There are some decreases

There are some decreases in gross
earnings this year from last, notably
the Southern and granger roads, but
there are also notably large increases
in nealry all the other groups, where
last year the dead level of decrease was
without relief. When the net earnings
figures this year are considered, the
showing is still better. The decrease
IN the grangers and Southwestern
roads is still notable, but the gains
showed in the other group of roads are
sufficient to more than counterbalance
this falling-off, and the result is a yery
satisfactory gain over year ago.

q DENVER HORROR
It Is Now Thought Twenty
Five Are Dead
SOME OF MISSING ACCoUETEDFoR
kFar, However, the Bodiest0f Elever
2 Persons Have BEEN Taken
From the Debris.

Denver, August 21.-A portion OF
the Gumry hotel, the scene OF last
nights frightful disaster, is still stand
ing, gaunt and sinister ruin, threat
ening to crash down on those delvlng
in the ruins at any moment. Search
for victims has been carried on with
the utmost energy constantly since the
explosion occurred, and it is being con-
tinued tonight with the aid Of two
searchlights. Flames broke out afresh
in the wreckage tonight and the fire
engines are again pouring forth water
still further impeding the work of res
cue.
The list of dead and missing now
numbers twenty five, making the dis
aster the worst that has ever occurred
in the city. Up to 1890 tonight only
eight bodies had been recovered. They
were:
Manager Grenier and his wife,
clasped in each others arms; George
Burt, Rock Island railroad con-
tractor; Mrs. g. G. Wolfe and daugh-
ter; Fred Hubbold, Will Richards, the
elevator man, and E. F. McCloskey, OF
Colorado Springs, wealthy owner Of
Cripple Creek mines.
Among the missing is now included
Elmer Pierce, the night engineer, who
is said to have entered the hotel just
before the explosion occurred. 1t is to
this mans carelessness that the disaster
is attributed.
The bodies of Peter Gumry and Gen.
eral Adams are still in the ruins.
Judge James Glinn, who was at first
supposed to have been in his room at
| the hotel, turns out to be at Holyoke,
Col, where he was spending Sunday
with friends. ]. E. Calkins, wife and
baby, who were also thought for a
time to- have been victims of the casu-
atty, have been located in Highlands
Mr.. Calkins is a newspaperman from
Davenport, Iowa, city editor of the
Gazette. They registered at the Gumry
on their arrival here but later went to
stay with friends.
A vast throng surrounds the build
ing on every side, pressing forward as
far as the ropes will allow. The police
are constantly guarding against any
one stepping through the lines, on &C.
count of the great danger from the
standing walls.
AS soon as the explosion occurred
every guest of the hotel was up. When
the fire department reached the scene
the windows were crowded with
human forms pleading for help to es-
cape from their perilous positions 1t
was not thought at that time, however,
that the flames would complete the
work of demolition. The guests were
very naturally alarmed at the explo-
sion, but in answer to their frantic ap-
peals they were assured that they were
perfectly safe where they were and in
deed it seemed so. Afterward when
the fire broke out, all calculations were
upset, and many who might have been
saved at once, had it been known that
fire was to follow, went to their awful
fate.

At this point Count Won Lerchfeld

the foundation of a memorial which
would remind Germany Of the greatest
period of her history, and which the
entire nation desired to erect to the

and two so badly burned they cannot

Work ON the ruins was suspended
and the search for bodies discontinued
till evening, till the walls which
threatened to topple and bury the
workmen could be pulled down. 1t is
believed there are at least eight or nine
bodies yet in the ruins, and several
days will probably elapse before all
can be recovered.
The body of James Murphy was
shipped tonight to Cincinnati; the
body of George Burt to Chicago; M.
E. Hawley to Omaha; Frederick
Houbbold to Lisbon, La. Those of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert G. Grenier will be
sent to Grand Rapids, Mich, where
they formerly lived. Fire Chief Rob-
erts says he saw Elmer Loesher, also
known as Pierce, the young engineer
whose carelessness caused the explo-
sion, walking rapidly away from the
scene of the disaster about ten minutes
after the department arrived. Detec-
tives are searching for him.
Mayor McMurray, who has remained
at the scene of the disaster directing
operations has announced his intention
of sending communication to the city
council demanding that stringent leg
islation be enacted in regard to the in
spection of boilers and the issue of en-
gineers' papers.
The Denver branch of the National
Association of Stationary Engineers
will meet tomorrow to take action re-
garding the explosion. The members
are exasrerted at the laxity said to ex-
ist in official circles in the matter of
boiler inspection.
S. A. Abbey, supposed to have been
among the dead in the ruins, turns out
to be alive, telegraphing from Pueblo
that he left the hotel the night before
the explosion.
Mrs. Celia Decker wired Chief
Goulding from Butte, Mont, asking
for news of William Decker, who was
bellboy at the Gumry at the time of
the explosion. 1t is likely the boy
persisted.
Peter Gumry leaves $4,000 worth
of property and no known relatives.
His parens were killed in the wreck OF
the brig Peter Gumry, off the banks of
Newfoundland, over fifty years ago.
He, then baby, was rescued as the
sole survivor. His rescuers gave him
the name of Peter Gumry.

18th the United States gov-
4 the matter Of the Nicara-
N 1t says it will be we'll IL
Hon. George N. Curzon, under
secretary Of state for foreign affairs, is
asked to give some explanation on that
subject in the house Of commons. The
St. James Gazette then adds:
"As far as can be seen, we are head
ing straight for crisis, and there will
be either diplomatic deadlock be-
tween the two countries or the English
will surrender important treaty rights.
The deadlock can be avoided. by dis
Greet handling of the facts by the for
eign Office and surrender need never
occur. Should situation be brought
about in which the United States finds
it can ignore the united states of Cen
trail America, then goodbye to any
hope of retaining, much less extending,
our commercial relations in the repub-
lies of the Spanish main, market in
which we already suffer from the un-
commonly sharp competition of Ameri-
cans and Germans
The paper then proceeds to rehearse
the history of the Nicaragua canal,
claiming the accedence of the United
States government to the request of the
United States Canal Company to guar
antee further capital for it will be an
infraction of the Bulwer- Clayton treaty.
The paper quotes President Cleveland s
reference to the canal in his message
Of 1894, and says:
''These carefully weighed words
were designed to create minimum of
distrust in the foreign Office when read
in relation to the consistent, moral
support given by the United States to
the company's enterprise and the in
sistenS demand of the United States
people that their government guaran-
tee the whole capital. Come what
may, it is plain that the ultimate OBJ
ject is not so much the cutting of the
canal as the firm and final establishment
of the United States authority in Cen
trail America. With the canal COM
pleted wholly by the United States, the
independence of the republics would
be merely nominal. 1t is true that
English financial assistance was sought
by the American syndicate lest the
United States government falter in
guarantee, but these negotiations have
collapsed, because it is not proper tc
allow the English capitalists their due
share of control, which is sufficient in.
dication of the exclusive power the
Americans mean to exercise ON the
isthmus. The cardinal point of the
whole matter is, Does the government
mean to enforce the Bulwer-C Clayton
treaty? II SO, will she join the United
States guarantee of the capital? Il
not, what steps have been taken to Sc
cure the neutrality of the canal ant
the equality rights and opportunities
of English subjects? 1t is not incon
ceivable that events may SO SHAPE
themselves in the near future that thu
United States will be master of Cen
trail America, but before we consent
any abrogation of the Bulwer-C Clayton
treaty must be made by ourselves.
