DENVER BANK FAILURE,
The Union National Forced
to Close Its Doors to
Business.
Trouble Caused by Contention
Over Deposits of County
Funds.

DENVER, CoLo.. July 29.-Simultan-
eously with the closing OF the County
Treasurer's Office at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing the Union National Bank suspended.
There has been much contention of late
among several of the banks, which claimed
they were not receiving fair proportion
of the county's deposits. This contention
eliminated few days ago in the with
drawal of several prominent bankers of
this city from Treasurer Wygant's bond.
Mr.. Wygant this morning submitted to
the County Commissioners the names of
substitute bondsmen, which were fejected.
and the Office of County Treasurer was de-
clared TO be vacant. Cashier c. L. Nc
Intosh of the Bank of Commerce, one of
Mr.. Wygant's bondsmep, said:
Myself and associate bondsmen with
drew from Treasurer Wygant's bond be-
cause we no longer felt safe in remaining.
We felt satisfied that the banks with whom
he was doing business could better act as
his sureties than ourselves. The unfavor-
able statement of July II, made by the
Union National, caused large amount of
withdrawal of accounts and brought about
the failure. The failure, however, was not
unexpected by the other banks, as the
bank was intending to iquidate in the
near future. / am satisfied the Union Ma
tional Bank will pay every dollar Of its in
debtedness."
Cashier ]. B. Lazar of the Union National
Bank saiG that the assignment of the bank
was due to the suit for a receiver for the
State and the refusal of the clearing house
this morning to lend the bank 100000.
Mr.. Lazar declares that the bank will pay
every. dollar it owes, and the depositors
need have no fear.
Bank Examiner q. L. Hill is now in con-
troll of the Union Bank affairs.

FIGHTERS FOR THE NAVY.
Two New Vessels Which Will
Prove to Be Formidable
Antagonists.
The Maine and Texas to Be Put
Into Commission During the
Next Fortnight.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2s.-The
commissioning of the Maine and Texas
within the next fortnight will mark new
era in the development OF the American
navy. The two vessels will be an addition
differing from those which have preceded
them for the past decade and they will be-
long more distinctively to the fighting
class of vessels than even the New York,
the coast-defense vessel Monterey or the
monitors Miantonomon, Monadnock and
Amphitrite, all of which are now in COM
mission.
The Maine is classed as an armored
cruiser, while the Texas is a second-rate
battIeship, but the Maine could very prop
erly be placed in the category of second
rate battleships. Her barbettes are pro-
tected by II and her turret by inches CT
armor. She carries four 10-inch and six g.
inch guns in addition to powerful Sec
ondary battery. She has a displacement
OF 6682 tons, a maximum horsepower of
5000, can steam IL knots an hour and will
carry crew of $40 men. In the opinion
of experts she could easily whip two YES
sells like the New York, which attracted so
much attention at the recent naval exhibit
ton at Kiel, while she would prove match
for half dozen unarmored vessels of the
type of the Baltimore or Philadelphia.
During the next twelve months the three
powerful battleships, Massachusetts, Indi-
ana and Oregon, will be put in commission.
When Mr.. Tracy of New York was Secre-
tary of the Navy under President Harri-
son be repeatedly asserted that these bat
tleshlps, when completed, would be the
finest specimens of marine architecture
atoat and that they could whip the strong
est vessels OF the best navies in the world

WEDDED a WEALrHY WIDOW
Actor Horace DAILY United to a Foman
of Serenity.

actor Horace DAILY United to HomGa
of Serenity.
NEW YORK, N. Y, July 29.-"The Ro-
nance of Poor Young Man" is play in
which Horace DAILY, young actor who
was at one time member of kendaPs
theatrical company, might well take the
principal part. Like many other bright
men in his profession Daily, who is only 2S
years old, is not the possessor of great
wealth, but as the result of "an affair Of
the heart he is to-day the husband OF
lady who owns real estate enough to place
her far from want.
The wedding in which he took the part
OF leading man occurred last week, the
bride and leading lady being Mrs. Jane NJ.
Mortimer, whose age is reported to be not
lar from 20. She is the widow OF John
Mortimer, who died several years ago leav-
ing her four-story brownstone residence
at 326 West Thirty-second street and other
property. It is here that the happy couple
are now living.
DAILY is an Englishman, whose home is
III London, where he has wealthy rela-
tives, from whom, however he hears but
seldom. He came to New York about
pany of Annie Plxley before he joined the
kendals. About one year ago he began
boarding at 326 West Thirty-seeond street,
which was at that time and is now being
conducted as a clearinghouse by Mrs.
Schumacher, who rents the premises from
Mrs. Mortimer.
1t was there and then that he first met
the widow. The actor was assiduous in his
attentions, but pressed his suit in a most
decorous and respectful manner. She
finally gave her consent, and last week the
couple were married

MADE A RUNNING FIGHT.
One of the PurSuerS Fatally
Wounded by the Fugi-
tiVeS.
OFFICERS FORCED TO FLY.
A Stronger Posse Returns and VIII
Close i'm Upon the
Bandits.

WICHITA, KANs., July 29.-Another
battle between the Zip Wyatt gang of out
laws and the vigilantes that had organized
to exterminate them was fought near Par
win, 0. t., last night, and tonight the
gang, numbering six men, is surrounded
by over one hundred pursuers, heavily
armed and we'll mounted, in the foothills
of the Glass Mountains in the Indian Ter
ritory.
The Wyatt gang has been terrorizing the
Territory for months past, and when two
men heavily armed, rode to the store of
G. S. Clark, at Parvin, O. T., and bought
extraordinarily large quantities of ammu-
milton. suspicion pointed them out as
members of the gang, and small posse
was quickly formed to pursue them. They
rode west and when they had gone mile
were joined by four outlaws also heavily
armed. They discovered they were being
followed and two laid in ambush in a
cornfield.
When the pursuers rode up the bandits
opened fire and George Nickerson was
fatally wounded. His companions tied
him into the saddle and putting spurs to
their horses escaped.
Deputy United States Marshal Johnson,
who lived near the scene of the shooting,
mounted his horse, organized stronger
posse and again took up the pursuit of the
outlaws. The horse of one of the outlaws
stumbled and fell. Johnson rode up and
covered him with six-shooter, and he
was brought to Parvin. He proved to be
an old offender named Wolf and brother
of the man arrested last week for harbor-
ing the gang.
Afterward fifty of the vigilantes came
suddenly upon the outlaws in the center
of cornfeld, and, though the bandits es-
capped, seven horses, most of their ammu-
milton and part of their clothing were cap
tured. Word was sent to Hennessey for
re-enforcements, and to-day United States
Marshal Banks, with a posse, and Detec-
tive Fossett of the Rock Island Railroad
set out for the scene.
A courier broughtt the news that the band
is surrounded by the vigilantes, who will
close in upon them in the morning. Some
of the outlaws are barefooted, and one is
is badly wounded. Nickerson, the wounded
vigilante, is sinking fast, a 44-caliber ball
having passed through his lungs.

has been filed in the District Court in this
county by the State of New York against
A. Ettensen and wife of Augusta for the

having him cared for as charity inmate
and reported that he was resident of New
York.
Mr.. Ettensen claims that the boy was
