Denver, June 29.-The Peoples Saving
bank was forced to make a second assign
ment today. F. ]. Spencer was named as
assignee. The action was taken for the
reason that sufficient funds could not be
raised to pay the July certificates. The
bank has not been open for deposits since
the panic two years ago.
At that time w. ]. Graham was made
assignee, a scheme was devised to pay the
depositors by the certificate plan, and in
May, 1894, the bank was taken from the
hands of the assignees and placed under
the management of the directors. The
directors succeeded in paying the INSTALL
ments when due until the present one,
which is due Monday. There are no
funds for the payment of this one.

it and surrounded by II mounted and
well armed guards. The wagon and its
load was driven at terrific speed Ito the
county Jail, followed by a bowling mob.

demonstrations were made The prisoner
has put into one of the cells usually re-
served for those condemned to death.

The officers are very uneasy tonight.
Thirty deputy Sherffs and police are kept
within call and it is possible the Jail will
be stOrmed before morning. Excitement
in the city runs high, and the sentiment
caused by the rarrival of the remains of

defined organization for the avOwed pur-
pose of lynching Taylor tonight, the
members of which are said to be the most
prominent business men in the city, with
Mhom the deceased was very popular.

Three Rings! Two Stages! Hall Seating Capacity 2G,0O0!
Milford chronicle., 1895-08-16

In the "reminiscences of General Sii
Evelyn Wood himself a brave English
soldier, a touching instance Of courage
and self sacrifice is given. One June day
in 1885 a detachment of English ma
rines was crossing the Woronzow road
under fire from the Russian batteries.
All of the men reached shelter in the
trenches except a seaman, John Blewitt.
As he was running a terrific roar was
heard. His mates knew the voice of a
huge cannon, the terror Of the army,
and yelled
Look out It is Whistling Dickp'
But at tho moment Blewitt was struck
by the enormous mass Of iron ON the
knees and thrown to the ground. He
called to his special chum
"Oh, WEIGH, save mep'
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
WEIGH ran out of the trenches, and seiz-
ing the great shell tried to roll it OFF Of
his comrade
1t exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom Of the bodies of Blewitt
or WEIGH was found. Even in that time
when each hour had its excitement,
this deed of heroism stirred the whole
English army. One Of the officers search
ed out Welch's old mother in her poor
home and undertook her support while
she lived, and the story of his death
helped his comrades to nobler concep-
lions Of a soldiers duty.
