excitement IL at Cottonwood camp,
within thirty miles Of Denver, in Clear
Creek county. Ore that runs all the
way from trace to $4,000 ton is suffi-

at the Jail at 1890 and was ushered in
to the cell room. Two days since Har-

The working apparatus Of the gallows

man as the husband of the writer. On
Saturday, Miss Gottlieb, who is a
charming Southern beauty of q. and
the daughter of wealthy parents, WIS.,

Maxwell's father knew Of his sons

lIayward's Awful Crime.

The crime for which Harry Hayward
was hanged was one of the most re-
markable of the century.
On the night Of December 3, 1894. the
body Of Miss Catharine Cling was found
In q swamp on the further shore of
Lake Calhoun, few miles from this
city. About the same time a horse
drawing an empty buggy with blood
over the cushions and sides walked into
Gossman's livery stable, where It had
been rented, early In the evening, by
Miss Cling. Rigid and searching in
quiry was at once instituted by the au-
thoritles. 1t developed that Miss Cling
had her life insured for $4,000, the poll
icies being made payable to Harry Hay
ward. This directed suspicion towards
him. and, after being under surveillance
for few days, he was, together with
his brother, Adry, taken into custody.
AS Hayward was at the theater the
night of the murder. 1t was shown con-
clusively tina he did not do the actual
killing.
Then Adry told remarkable story.
He said that Harry had plotted to kill
Miss Cling for the life insurance and
wanted his assistance, which was re-
fused. Further investigation devel-
oped the fact that Hayward met Miss
Cling that night and drove out as far as
Thirteenth street, where he was met
by Claus Blixt. the janitor in the en-
ploy Of his father. Blixt drove Miss
Cling out Calhoun road and shot her.
He then came into town on foot, going
to several places where he was known
for the purpose Of establishing an alibi.
Hayward, after leaving Miss. Cling.
hurriedly retraced his steps and took a
young society aldy to the theater. sit
ting through the performance. appar-
antly unconscious Of the tragedy that
was being enacted. Blixt was after
ward arrested and confessed to the ac-
tual killing. He was Niven life sem
tence in the penltentiary. In telling
his story he claimed that Hayward
had him in his power, exercising an
influence over him that Il was impossl-
ble to resist. Hayward himself was
placed on trial, and. despite the best
legal talent that Snoney could buy. was

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Instead of writing up the obituary
notice of the Clionion Club this week,
as we said last week we would if they
decided not to appear again, we still
have few words of praise for them.
Most of you remember that OH the
evening Of Washington's birthday the
CliOniOn gave. without a doubt, one
of the best entertainments even given
in the High Schoolroom, and were re-
warded by one of the largest crowds
that the High School room ever held.
But that is not exactly what we are
trying to tell you. The young ladies,
all of whom are very patriotic, took
the money and purchased os Perry
Mason d Co. about as handsome a
picture of Washington as it has been
our good fortune TO lay eyes on, and
now the walls of the high school pre-
present a very different appearance
from what they did before this kind
act of the young ladies. The High
School will never get through thank
ing them.
Misses Myrtle Kelly and Ida Weith
who have been out of school the past
week nursing their jaws, returned
this week, adding much to the pleas
ure oftheir schoolmates.
We regret 20 report the severe ill
ness of Mr.. Compton Moore, one of
the graduating class. We hope for
his speedy recovery.
The rank of the High School for last
W eek is nine. That looks like bad
example for the High School to set
for Young America.
The High School boys have been
playing base ball this week instead
of foot ball. What is the matter boys?
Heretofore it has always been hard
to get some of the pupils to bring ex-
cuses for hardness or absence. Even
sending them home once in a while
after them failed to bring the desired
anu lAlC va bIC SCllOOl
has been trying to think of a scheme
which would alleviate this trouble,
and now we think it has been found,
because the number of names on the
board grows smaller every day, The
scheme is this: If pupil fails to
bring an excuse after his name has
been on the board a day, a little
piece Of ribbon is attached to them in
a conspicuous place and if this fails TO
bring the desired result a larger
piece of yellow ribbon is attached TO
them. AS yet we have seen none OF
the yellow ribbons.
The new song books, Merry Melo-
dies" have arrived and give general
NUNTIUs.

A SEVERE WINTER

The Cause of Suffering and An Increase
of Disease
This winter has been the most Sc
we're for many years. North, South,
East and We st intense cold and biz
yards have prevailed. This will sure
ly cause great increase of sickness
and death. Chronic cararrh and con-
sumption always begin by catching
cold. Thousands have started on the
road toward a lifetime ofmisery from
chronic catarrh or a sure death from
consumption. 1T is not too late yet to
be saved and restored to a life of
health and activity. Pe-ru-na will do
it. 1t never fails to quickly cure
chronic catarrh less than two years
old. OF course Pe-ru-na cures thous-
ands and thousands of cases of chron-
ic catarrh that have run for many
years, but in cases that are of more
recent origin it cures quickly, certain
