Wounds Her Alleged Paramour.
LOUISVILLE, June 17.-Arthur Gourdin.
a shoemaker living at Rowlinton, a suburb
of Pewee Valley, eighteen miles from this
city on the Louisville and Nashville rail
road, shot and probably fatally wounded
Thomas Murphy and then stabbed his wife
to death last night. Gourdin suspected
Murphy of being intimate with his WIFE
and had evidently waited for an oppor-
tunity to settle the score.
This opportunity came last evening
when Murphy was passing Gourdin's
house on horseback. Gourdin was sitting
on his porch, and when Murphy came up
Gourdin drew revolver and commenced
firing wounding Murphy in several places
and killing his horse under him. Mrs
Gourdin rushed out of the house and her
husband told her to go away, but she re-
fused TO do So and he then hit her several
times with the butt of his revolver, driv-
ing her back into the house, where he
seized knife and stabbed her eleven
times, killing her almost instantly.
The dead woman leaves four children,
ranging in ages from to 10 years. Gour-
din was arrested and placed in Jail at La
Grange

WORK OF ORE Thieves.
Colossal System of Stealing in a
Colorado Mine.
CARRIED OUT by THE MINERS.

Half the Output Taken Away During Some
Months by an Organized Gang of Rob.
bers-The Mine Closed Indefinitely Pend.
ing an Investigation.
DENVER, June 17.-Such a colossal sys
tenn of thieving from the rich Golden
Fleece mine, at Lake City, Hinsdale
county, has been unearthed that it is an
nouneed the company will indefinitely
close down while an investigation is in
progress. To such an extent had the steal
ing proceeded that thousands of dollars
worth of rich gold bearing ore every month
had been carried off by the company's op-
eratives. An amount equal to half the
output OF the mine has been stolen during
several months. This would mean loss
to the concern of $4,000 monthly. The
method of the thieves was to carry of
small pieces of the ore on quitting their
work and then ship their stealings to other
points, or sell them in Lake City
The Fleece is owned in Denver, but in
the same district there are extensive prop
critics owned by eastern capitalists, nota-
bly, the Suffolk mine, which is one of the
leading dividend payers of southwestern
Colorado, The stock of the latter COM

fected, unless it should be discovered that
the robberies are the result of an organ
lied effort of the miners in the district.
The Fleece paid its June dividend at the
regular rate of two cents share, but the
directors have decided that monthly pay
ments will be suspended until they find
out the extent of their losses.
In an interview one of the officials of the
company makes the statement that at
times the amount stolen has exceeded
one-half of their monthly output. If such
be the case this robbery becomes stipend
Gus, as the output of this bonanza mine
has averaged at least $4,000 per month
These colossal figures seem possible only
when the extraordinary richness of their
high grade ore is taken into consideration.
The company has announced a reward
of $1,000 for information leading to the
arrest and convictions of every person i'm
plicated in these robberies.
The managers insist that there has been
an organized gang at work making ship
ments to various parts of the state, and
even to Mexico, from where the ore was
reshipped to the smelters. They say they
will run down every member of the gang
If it costs them $50, 900 to do so. They have
placed sentinels at all the workings to
prevent further thefts
Some time ago the Victor, of Cripple
Creek, felt called upon to discharge it's
entire force because of similar pilferinglof
high grade ore, which amounted to thou
sands of dollars. The plan Of having but
one entrance to these high grade mines
and of rule that the working force GO
ing in and going out shall make COM
plete change of clothing will probably
follow as the only corrective measure for
this evil, which has been growing in re-
cent years.
