He remand defiant to the end.
Gray-haired Peter Augusta followed

his doom without an audible word.
Jordan's crime was the killing OF
August Geissen, a foreman at the
Omaha and Grant smelter, whom he
supposed was responsible for the
discharge. Augusta killed Harry
Sullivan in the house of "a woman

Bought a Sailed Mine,

William H. Bolthoff was arrested
at Denver on a warrant charging him
with obtaining $500 in a mining
deal under false pretenses. Geo. F..
Wheeler, a wealthy West Virginia
capitalist, is the complaining witness.
He alleges that on Oct. 30, 1894,
William H. Bolthoff and Samuel P.
Corning transferred to him the placer
claims Liebolt, Iron Mountain and
Deadwood, in Park county, which
they claimed, were rich in free gold.
Nov. 20, the plaintiff paid the de-
PENDANTS $500 and agreed to pay
81, 500 July /. Wheeler arrived in
Denver two weeks ago, after having
organized the South Park Mining
company in the east and sent a
mining expert. 1t is said that the
experts report shows that the mines
had been ssalted.'

Jack Smith Shot.

Jack Smith, the famous leader of
the Bull Hill miners, was shot and
killed by Marshal Jack Kelly of
Altman, Colo. The marshal also
shot George Popst, a miner who was
with Smith. The shooting created
a reign of terror in the great gold
camp. The miners threaten to
avenge the death of their late war
captain, and all saloons have been
closed in Tictor and Altman. Martial
law has practically been declared.
Acts of violence are expected any
moment. Last night Jack Smith
shot out all the lights in Foley's
saloon at Victor. This morning he
vas arrested and placed under bonds.
AS soon as he was released he went
to Altman, the miners camp, and
proceeded to terrorize the inhabit-
ants. Marshal Kelly ordered him
out of town. Jack Smith opened
fire and Popst stood by him. Kelly
returned the fire and shot down
both men, escaping injury. Smiths
friends swear that they will avenge
his death. The widest excitement
prevails. Every weapon to be
found is being confscated by civil
authority.

POPULISM AND FREE SILVER.

THAT advocates of free coinage
can not rely upon the friendship of
the populist party has been our
position and the ground of our ar
gument. To bear out the premise
further let us read what the Wealth
Maker, (populist) of Lincoln, Neb.,
has to say:
The free coinage of silver is all we
want, men are saying. What would the
free coinage of silver provide? Only
about IS cents per capita more money
and the millionaire owners of the silver
mines would get about all of that, and
placing 1t III the banks, the only way the
people could get it would be to borrow
1t at as high rates of interest as are de-
manded now. We can get money now by
putting up lots of security and paying
